Ellis Elcie Colbath was born 20 February 1886 in Hye, Blanco County, Texas.

He died 8 September 1968 in San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas.

Burial was in Mission Burial Park at San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas.

Katherine Mae "Kate" Moore Colbath was born 14 July 1885 in Devine, Medina County, Texas.

She died 13 October 1976 in Bexar County, Texas.

Burial was in Mission Burial Park South at San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas.

Kate was a daughter of Susan McCombs and Haywood M. Moore (1849-1929). Her paternal grandparents were Emily Lincecum (1813-1884) and Daniel Boone Moore (1805-1889).

Kate and Ellis were married 7 January 1912 in Comal County, Texas. I know the couple had a son, born 12 February 1923 in Stephens County, Texas, but I find no evidence he survived to adulthood. He is not even listed with the couple in the 1930 Bexar County, Texas Federal census.

The couple did, however, seem to take in a nephew. Winston Wallace Moore (b. 1917) was a son of Leonidas "Leon" Moore (1877-1960) and Mattie Crouson (1890-1918). Since Winston was less than a year old when his mother died, and Leon was already caring for three other children, maybe Kate and Ellis stepped in to help. Winston W. Moore was noted as a son in each of Ellis's and Kate's obituaries.

Ida Cole Fiant, Daughter of Hannah Lincicum (Virtual Graves)

 

Ida was born about 1868 in Indiana.

She died 19 March 1907 in Cherokee County, Kansas.

Burial was in an unmarked grave at Galena Cemetery in Galena, Cherokee County, Kansas.

---

Ida was a daughter of Hannah Lincicum (1840-1907) and Joseph Cole (1837-1916).  Ida married Francis Oliver Fiant (1859-1942) sometime after the death of his first wife, Flora May Clark, which was in November 1888. Charley Fiant, in the image below dated 1909, was the son of May and Francis. Ida and Oliver were listed as husband and wife for the 1900 Walnut, Crawford County, Kansas, US Federal census, taken June of that year.

Ida and Francis did have one child together, Joseph Francis Fiant, born about 1904, before Ida's untimely death in 1907 caused by tuberculosis.

Hannah Lincicum Cole, 1840-1907 (Virtual Graves)

 

Hannah Lincicum was born about June 1840 in Ohio.

She died 24 November 1907 in Cherokee County, Kansas.

Burial was in an unmarked grave at Galena Cemetery in Galena, Cherokee County, Kansas.

---

Hannah was a daughter of Caleb and Nancy Lincicum. She first married Jacob Woolf (d. 1863) on 13 March 1862 in Miami County, Indiana. Jacob died just fourteen months later while serving with Company C of the 87th Indiana Infantry during the Civil War. The supposed cause of death was "lung fever."

A year after Jacob's death, Hannah married Joseph Cole on 9 June 1864 in Miami County, Indiana. This couple had five children: Clara, Ida, William, Alice, and John.

Eight months before her own death, Hannah buried her daughter Ida after the younger woman succumbed to tuberculosis while staying in Hannah's home. One can only imagine the toll this took on Hannah.

Earlene Alston, Daughter of Rosena Lincecum (Virtual Graves)

 

Earlene Alston was born about March 1894 in Louisiana.

She died November 1979.

Burial was in New Morning Glory Church Cemetery of Rapides Parish, Louisiana.

Unfortunately, I don't know much about Earlene. She was a daughter of Rosena Lelia Lincecum/Linscomb and Ray Manuel Alston (d. 1933) and seems to have never married. Earlene spent most, if not all, of her life in the neighboring parishes of Avoyelles and Rapides in central Louisiana.

Here's a clipping of her death notice in the 20 November 1979 Town Talk of Alexandria, Louisiana.

Caledonia Hawthorne, Granddaughter of Caledonia Lincecum (Virtual Graves)

Buried	Hawthorne Cemetery	Little Creek, La Salle, Louisiana, USA

Caledonia Nancy Lincecum was born about August 1849 in Catahoula Parish, Louisiana, to Lucinda Hawthorn and Harmon R. Lincecum. At about the age of 18, Caledonia married Newton P. Hawthorne, son of Martha Mecom and Albert Hawthorn. Both Caledonia and Newton were grandchildren of William Hawthorn (1777-1841) of South Carolina.

Records suggest the young couple of Caledonia and Newton had as many as eleven children, though I can only account for eight. One son was Daniel P. Hawthorne, born 1 January 1871 in La Salle Parish, Louisiana. Daniel married Della Doughty on 18 April 1895 in Catahoula Parish, Louisiana. Their first child was Caledonia "Callie" Hawthorne, the actual subject of this short sketch.

Callie married Charles F. "Charlie" Howard about 1914. He was a son of Hardy Harrison Howard (1851-1922) of Mississippi. I know of three children born to Callie and Charlie: a set of twins born and died 27 April 1922, and daughter Era J. (d. 2012).

Interestingly, I found a Divorce Petition Coupon dated 31 March 1930 in Green County, Arkansas pertaining to the Howard couple. Callie was the plaintiff, and Chas. the defendant. Nothing has been found, however, to suggest the couple ever officially divorced. They were listed in the same household for both the 1940 and 1950 census.

Mrs. Callie Howard of Little Creek, Louisiana died "after a lengthy illness" in the early afternoon on 29 March 1966 in a local hospital. She, Charlie, the twins, and Era were all, after their respective deaths, laid to rest in Hawthorne Cemetery.

Born	18 February 1930	Sacramento, California, USA
Died	23 February 1997	Auburn, Placer, California, USA
Cremated	Ashes to be Spread	Trinidad, Humboldt, California, USA

Barbara Lucille Lincecum was a daughter of Grayce Ophelia Kingrey (1901-1943) and Earl Luke Lincecum (1897-1946). Both Grayce and Earl died in their 40s, so Barbara was orphaned by the age of 16.

Barbara was married at least three times: first to John Michael "Mike" Musholt (div. 1968), second to George A. Adams (div. 1973), and third to Warren H. Thurman. Per her obituary, Barbara was survived by two sons and a daughter, eight grandchildren, and 1 great-grandchild.
