Subject: [CAGLE] Mary Elvira Cagle
Dear List,
For those of you still on the, Cagle list some know of my problem. My
g-grandmother Mary Elvira Cagle, has always been a bit of a mystery.
My Aunt Erma Cagle Brewer, was the person reporting information on her
father Marquis DeLafayette Cagle Sr., death certificate.
She gave the name of her grandfather as T W Cagle, and her grandmother Mary
Patton.
Tom Cagle, a list member and me share the same g-g-g-granfather Charles
Cagle Sr. His g.g.grandfather was Thomas Cagle, married to Rachel Chessor.
My g-g-grandfather was of course Thomas brother, Charles Jacob Cagle. His
wife was Mary Patton.
My Aunt Erma, was a young woman of about 30 at the time of her fathers
death. Why she would list her grandmother's name as Mary Patton is a
mystery to me.
On her and her husband Thomas W. Cagle's, marriage certificate her name is
given as Mary Cagle. They were married on 7-24-1877 in Oregon Co; MO.
I have never known her maiden name to be anything other than Cagle. They
last appeared together in the 1900 Census in Mississippi Co; MO.
She was shown being born in Arkansas in August 1860. In the 1910 census her
husband T W Cagle, was listed as a widow living with their daughter,
Ida Mae Cagle.
T.W Cagle's brother, William M. Cagle had settled in Red River County, Texas
in the late 1880's. Most of his and his wife Louisa Cagle Risenhoover,
family
died and are buried there.
I searched high and low for Mary, for many years. Then a few years ago I
found her death record in Red River County, Texas. She had died on 7-25-1905
in
Peters Prairie Red River County, Texas.
Some day I hope to find an obituary for her there in Red River County.
My belief is that Thomas William Cagle, possibly married a first cousin. If
not then a second cousin. Information on Mary Elvira (Alvira) Cagle, is very
scarce.
If she came from a Cagle family, then I am at a lost as to which one. Also
at a loss if her maiden name wasn't Cagle, then what was it?
On another note there has been no activity on the Cagle list. If those of
you on the list are no longer interested, then maybe we should end the list.
If any of you read this then i would appreciate your thoughts.
Regards,
Earl D.CagleSr.
The best part of genealogy is finding new family members you didn't know you
have.
