| 13523 | Helen is the daughter of Harriet Turner & James A Knight. Abstract from Interview with his son Anson Willson Junior: My mother, Helen Frances Knight, was one of the first women to play basketball & wear bloomers. She was also one of the first women to teach in that area in a school. Her father was a farmer & she grew up on the farm. She went into the city & got an office job. She met my father & almost at the same time, her aunt, May Ringe (who had married a man who was the richest man in California). It would have been nice if he had married my mother instead. She always felt a little embarrassed about it. She didnʼt have a couple of million dollars. I My motherʼs father, my grandfather McDermit, was a Knights Templar in Canada & my first memory of grandpa was riding on a big black horse, because I was very little, with a big high plume on his hat in the Masonʼ s parade once a year. He was the leader of the Knights Templar & I thought he was very grand, indeed. I have nothing but good & wonderful memories.

VAN DER BURGH GROUND Family ground, On land owned in 1924 by Dr. A. R. Mofitt. REMARKS: The land which is in the angle formed by the junction of the Post Road & Beechwood avenue (about 2 miles south of the city of Poughkeepsie) was a portion of the farm of Henry Van Der Burgh, who settled in the neighborhood about 1710 & died about 1750. A mortgage, dated April 16, 1771, (Loan Office records, vol. 1771-1777, No. 105), & covering 43 acres in approximately the location above referred to, contains this clause: "reserving out a quarter of an acre for a Simentry or Burying Place for which purpose the same has long since been used for the family of Henry Van Denburgh deceased, with Free liberty to pass & Repass to & from the same for all persons who shall attend any funeralls." Traces of this burial ground are not now visible. In 1913 when the foundation was dug for the house of Mr. Oakley Norris (later sold to Dr. A R. Moffitt) traces of an ancient burial ground were found. In the neighborhood there is a tradition that the stones from this burial place were built into the foundation of the barn now standing on the farm of Edward H. Brasch, near by. The barn was erected approximately 1865-1875. . LOCATION: Southeast of the city of Poughkeepsie, in an orchard near the east fence of the property of the Hudson River Driving Park Association. Stones fallen & broken. INSCRIPTIONS: 9 in number. Copied April 25, 1911, by J. W. Poucher, M. D., & Miss Helen W. Reynolds. REMARKS: Van Der Burgh ground. Before 1800 the Van Der Burghs were large land owners in this neighborhood & on old maps the present Southeast Avenue, Poughkeepsie, was "the road to John Van Der Burgh's". John Van Der Burgh's house is still standing opposite the northeast corner of the Driving Park but made over & modernized. In its first estate it was an attractive eighteenth century farm house with an excellent carved doorway & fanlight. Originally there were a good many stones. Ref: Old Gravestones of Dutchess Co.

Tickets 25¢ ea., speeches, singing, etc. Ref: Fergus Freeholder Newspaper. . 1870 Jul 1 - In West Garafraxa Township the storm hit with much more force than in the Fergus &Guelph areas. Damage was most severe in the vicinity of the 6th Line, suggesting another tornado touched down there. About a dozen barns lost all or a portion f their roofs. Peter McDougall discovered his small barn relocated to a nearby bush.In the Belwood area, then known as Douglas, the storm was the worst that anyone could remember. Residents there watched the black cloud advance from the northwest. A cloudburst began about 8pm. Some residents reported hearing a load roar, suggestive of full-fledged tornadoes. Rail fences were demolished, with the rails scattered like toothpicks. Wind & rain trashed grain crops. A strip of uprooted trees. Damage was most intense along the 5th & 6th Lines.There were many casualties to cattle in West Garafraxa, most killed by falling trees & branches. One tree killed 3 yearling cattle, which had sought refuge under its branches. As the storm reached its peak, Dick & Bill East arrived at the farm of Sam Allen for a visit. As they tied their horses, the wind lifted the roof from the barn & dropped it on Dick East. Unconscious from a blow to the head, he survived 15 minutes. Brother Bill survived without a scratch. As an encore, nature provided another storm 2 nights later, on July 22, 1870. That one was less destructive than the earlier storm, & struck shortly before midnight. Few people got much sleep that night due to a continuous display of lightning & ground-shaking thunder that kept up until about 4am. A few barns & trees were hit with lighting for the second time in 2 days. There was one major fire chalked up to lightning during that second storm. John Taylor lost his barn, with a large quantity of grain & all his implements. The fire flared up again about noon the following day, but was extinguished with the help of neighbours.

Henry died 04-17-1917, Haywood, Pittsburg Co., Oklahoma, Residence: 1900, Scott Co., AR. CIVIL WAR - Private, 1st Confederate Infantry, raised in Georgia. Information about this family is, in part, and excerpts from a book by Henry's Son: Russell Blevin Condry, And his Great Grandson: Floyd Dedmon, from his own personal knowledge. Floyd states: I met Uncle Russell and his family the first time when I was 10 yrs old in McAlester, Ok. while staying at my Grandma "Eller" Condry Dedmon's house, This was his sister and they came and visited for 2 weeks. These following notes come from the book, written by Henry's 16th child, Russell Blevins Condry. It is titled: "True Memories", The Condrys, 1844 - 1942, by R. B. Condry And I Quote: Henry served in the "Civil War" in 1862, was in Confederate Army. After he got out, he met an married Sara Malissa London on Dec. 26, 1867 in Catoosa Co. GA. 1869, they moved to Arkansas in a "Wagon Train" along with the "Dedmon's", "McEntires", "Singletary's", "London's" and some other families! In1870, he bought land 2 miles south of Mtn. Home, AR. and built a "Log Cabin". Dad a large "Apple" orchard, he sold them, and stored the apples left over under the beds in wooden frames he had made to fit. The kids would "Snitch" an apple during the night when they were hungry, and would have to eat the applecore so as there was no evidence left over. He was in the freighting business also. Had a wagon and a good team of "Mules". Hauled freight from West Plains, MO. to Mtn. Home, AR. In 1890, we moved to the "Dollings Farm", 4 1/2 mi west of Waldron, Scott Co. AR. after My sister Naomie was born in "89" We lived close to his brother, "Uncle Albert Condry" and his family. Alberts sons name was, Randolph! Randolph & I always played together. He was my best friend! In 1891, he bought a 200 acre Farm, 3 mi west of Waldron, AR. There was a creek that ran across the farm, Haw Creek. It had 2 sets of houses, we moved into smaller Log Cabin with a "Chink & Dob Chimney". (This made of sticks & Mud and the fire place opening was 4 ft. wide.) There was a small shed added to the side of the cabin where mom (Sara), would do the cooking. When ever she used the "Dutch Oven", she used the "Fire Place Clave". The house floor stood 3 ft. above the ground on Stone and Pier legs and had cracks between the floor boards wide enough to let a "Sewing Thimble" fall through! I know, because Mom was always dropping hers and I had to crawl under the house to get it! There was very little of the land cleared and under cultivation when we moved there. Most was covered with, "Brower Vines, Haw Brush, and Big Timber." Each year, we would clear a little more land. To suppliment living expenses, Dad would "Freight" supplies from Ft. Smith, to Mansfield to Waldron, AR. using his "Wagon and Mules". There was no "Railroad" at this time. In 1895, Dad built a new home, which now is called, "The Old Home Place". In 1896, He went McAlester, OK. and looked for land and bought a farm in Haywood, it consisted of 1280 acres. ( 2 sections of land, That's 1mile wide and 2 miles long.) He paid $1280.00 for it! A dollar an acre, that's a high price for it, but it was very good land and close to town! In 1897/8, Dad then moved to Haywood, OK. and he bought another 10 acres in Haywood and built a Grocery & Feed store, and my brother Sam built one in McAester, just down the road aways from Dru & Ella's store. (D. R. Dedmon's Groceries, Feed and Seed.)! I helped Dru set his up in 1904/5 and delivered groceries by horse back or wagon! I then went to my calling, I started teaching Music Lessions and developed a "Singing Quartet", we traveled all over Okla., Ark., Mo., and even into Tex. I supplimented this by having several different "Barber Shops", which I bought and sold all over. Signed: Russell B. Condry: The Book Was Published, March 13, 1942 Notes by: Floyd E. Dedmon: The McAlester OK. Historical Society has quite a few of these facts on record. On Sunday, January 20, 2002, I wrote the following from my memories of my younger days! My Great Grand Parents, Henry & Sarah Condry's store use to be across the street from the Haywood Cemetery. G-Uncle Sam Condry inherited it when Great Grand Pa Henry died in 1917. (It's was torn down in the 1970's and all that remains now is an empty lot!) I use to get "Whore Hound Candy" there all the time in the 40's, 50's & 60's. My favorite candy! Great Grand Pa Condry's farm, 1280 acres, was 1 mile north and 1 mile west of it. I spent many a day at it. In 1963 when Grand Pa Drury Dedmon and my Dad, Ernest Dedmon died, my wife and 2 of my boys stayed there for 2 weeks. I was living in Torrance, Calif at that time. We came back for the "Funeral's". I moved back to McAlester in 1965 and the last time I was there was in 1971, just before Aunt Tela died. I was living in McAlester, OK. 11 miles away at this time! When Great Grand Ma Sarah London Condry died in 1936, my Grand Ma "Eller" Condry Dedmon inherited the farm and she continued raising her 9 younger brothers and sisters along with her own family of 11 children on it and her home in McAlester, next to their own Grocery Store in N. McAlester. Aunt Tela stayed at the Farm and helped raise them also Grand Ma Ella Condry Dedmon died in 1954! (At this time, I was living in Griffith, Lake Co. IN. My dad had a 40 acre farm there. We had just moved from Herple, Stone Co. AR. in 1952, where he had sold his 160 acre farm because he couldn't make ends meet? He had gotten a job in Indiana working at a steel mill with My sister "Louise's" husband, Eugene Wills.) My Aunt Tela Dedmon "Rock" then inherited the farm! She lived on it untill she died in 1971. (She had no children from 5 marriages!). Lynn Welch and his family had lived there since the 1950's in an "Old Farm" house that was built for "Worker's", as a "Share Cropper" and taking care of the farm. She had begun to think of him as a son, he was always helping her to do things and she loved having his kids around. (The"GrandKids", as she called them!) Eventually, Aunt Tela sent him through Medical School to become a Doctor like Grand Pa, James Thomas Dedmon was in Arkansas! In the late 1950's, She was persueded by Lynn to let the "Oil & Gas" companies put in "Test Well's". And they "Struct Oil & Gas" in 1958. She told them to "Cap them!" , She couldn't stand the smell from them. After all, She owned the "Mineral Rights to the Property", and wouldn't give them up till the day she died. When she died, it was found that she had "Willed the Property", "To her adopted son", ___"Dr. Lynn Welch"! However, No legal papers for "Adoption" had been filed! A law suit was filed contesting the will by her brothers and sisters still living, but to no avail. It proved out that it was a know fact that she had referred to him as, "Her Adopted Son" over the years, and there by it was concidered so by the "Court"? After he received title to the property in 1974, he then commenced in making arrangements to sell it! He sold it along with the mineral rights to the Oil Company for: ___$1,280,000,000.00 dollars! ( Henry only paid $1280.00 for it in 1896! )____ Lynn told no one and nothing was saved! What a loss of artifacts! Especially the "Pictures" of our ancestors! There were hundreds of them! All in Albums! The house was torn down and all of the old "Historical items of the past" was either burned or "Bull Dozed Under". An now, there are oil & gas wells & storage tanks all over the place! Floyd E. Dedmon: January 20, 2002 Burial: Notes About Haywood Cemetery: Originally located just outside the "North Gate" of the U. S. Army Ammunition Base of Savannah, OK. and approximately 2 blocks north in the town of Haywood. It covered 2 blocks on the east side of Okla. Highway 31. This is a Personaly known fact. I, Floyd Dedmon, have visited their graves several times in my younger days. The last date being in 1971. On December 23, 2000, I went to see their Graves and place some flowers while attending the Funeral for my wifes mother whom had just passed away! And What did I find when I got there? A new Railroad Spur had been installed from McAlester to there around 1980 and the old road was moved north to accomadate it. Where the Rail Road tracks now stand, the ground has been "Sloped and Contured" for the Tracks, by the US Army Corp. of Engineers. There is a single Grave Marker at the original location. It lists the names of "The Rock's". No other "Head Stones" or "Graves" are at this site now! Henry and Sarah's Grave Stones, (Flat Sand Stone's with their names and dates, along with several other family members "Head Stones"), were located just north of where the "Rock's Headstone" now stands and what is now, "The Middle of the RR tracks"!! There were several "Head Stones" that were there, but are now Gone!!! Supposedly their "Graves" were moved to Pine Grove Cemetery. 3 mi west on Hwy 31. However, no markers were placed in Pine Grove Cemetery for them and can find no records of them being moved? | CONDRY, Henry Clay Crawford (I7119)
