William ‘Bill’ Quay Tekell
Corsicana Daily Sun
William “Bill” Quay Tekell, 94, formerly of Crane, Texas, passed away on Sunday, Dec. 23, 2012, at home in Middleton, Wisc., where he lived with his daughter and family.  

He was born to Zemrie Cornelius and Ida Bell Tekell, July 5, 1918, in Roane. After his mother’s death in 1929, he lived with his maternal aunt and uncle, Etta and James Brown, in Eureka. He was inducted into the United States Army in March, 1941, and was first deployed to Panama where he trained with the Bushmasters Battalion of the 158th Infantry Regiment. He served in the Bismarck Archipelago campaign in New Guinea, and returned to the States as a Staff Sergeant and drill instructor for the Army Air Corps at Scott Field, Ill. He married Mayna Lee Steele on June 23, 1945. Together they lived for a short time in Belleville, Ill., and then Corsicana, finally moving to Crane in 1949, where Bill began work on the Texas-New Mexico pipeline. Bill and Mayna lived in Crane for more than 60 years, relocating to Wisconsin late in 2010.

Bill worked in the oil fields of West Texas, and retired as a motor man from Pioneer Natural Resources Company in 1982, though the farming life from his childhood and young adult years in East Texas was never far from his heart. He was a member of the Crane (Texas) Presbyterian Church, later attending the First Methodist Church also of Crane. Bill was a life-long gardener, certain there could be no such thing as too many tomatoes. He enjoyed boots, jeans, big hats, and an east-facing sittin’ porch for his morning and evening coffee where he listened to more Astros baseball than one would think possible. Good luck, old pal.

Bill was preceded in death by his parents; wife, Mayna; son, Billie; brother, Wilson and sister-in-law Blanche; nephew, Edwin Knight; and niece, Ruthie Knight.

Survivors include his daughter, Sue; son-in-law, John Westbury; grandchildren, John, Tracy and Will, all of Middleton, Wisc.; nephew, Richard Knight of Streetman; niece, Mary Knight of Rockdale; and Boyd cousins spread across Texas, and dear friends in Crane.

Graveside services will be held at Birdston Cemetery near Streetman.

Funeral arrangements were provided by Gunderson Funeral Home in Middleton, Wisc.

1465 John Hemphill (1803-1862)

John Hemphill
Associate Justice, Supreme Court of the Republic of Texas, 1840
Chief Justice, Supreme Court of the Republic of Texas, 1841-1845
Chief Justice, Texas Supreme Court, 1845-1858
John Hemphill, the son of a Presbyterian minister, was born December 18, 1803 in Blackstock, South Carolina. He graduated second in his class at Jefferson College (now Washington and Jefferson) in Carmonsburg, Pennsylvania in 1825. He taught school briefly before undertaking the study of law. In 1829 he began a private legal practice in Sumter County, South Carolina. In 1836 he fought in the Second Seminole War, earning the rank of second lieutenant.
Hemphill relocated to Texas in 1838, practicing law in Washington-on-the-Brazos. Two years later, he was elected judge of the Fourth Judicial District by the Congress of the Republic, automatically making him an associate justice of the supreme court. On December 5, 1840, he was elected the Republic's fourth chief justice. He would hold this position both in the Republic and under statehood, until 1858. He was a member of the Congress of 1845, a proponent of statehood, and a framer of the 1845 Texas constitution.
Hemphill was present at the Council House Fight in San Antonio, where Texan-Comanche tensions erupted violently on March 19, 1840. Sixty-five Comanches, including twelve war chiefs, had gathered to negotiate a peace treaty with Texas. But the chiefs, who had failed to bring with them thirteen Anglo prisoners, were taken hostage on the condition that they release them. A fight ensued when they tried to escape, and thirty-three Comanches including women and children were killed in a bloody massacre. Thirty-two others, many of them wounded, were taken prisoner. The Comanches answered the atrocity with revenge raids, and Hemphill went on to fight in several subsequent campaigns against the Comanches. His military activities also included serving as adjutant general of the Republic and taking part in the Somervell expedition of 1842 to invade Mexico.
Hemphill was known for the literary quality of his written opinions during his eighteen years on the bench. He was fluent in Spanish and extremely knowledgeable in Spanish and Mexican law. Marital rights, divorce, and homestead and other exemptions were among his chief judicial interests, and he was considered a champion of children's and women's rights. He is credited with shaping Texas community property and homestead laws.
In 1858 Hemphill left the bench to become a U.S. Senator, filling the seat vacated by Sam Houston. There he gave a speech advocating the legality of secession, was one of fourteen senators recommending secession of the Southern states, became a member of the Provisional Confederate Congress, and was terminated from his senate seat. Never married, Hemphill died in Richmond, Virginia, on January 4, 1862, and his body was returned to Texas for burial in the State Cemetery in Austin.

Our subject received a collegiate education at Bellenyna College, Ireland, and in 1852 came to America, landing in Charleston, SC, USA., then immediatlely went to Chester, SC, USA, and spent three years learning the carriage maker's trade, when he went to Aberdeen, Miss., and established a factory of his own and three years later moved to Portersville, Tipton County, and continued the business five years, then went into merchandising and farming, selling goods at Portersville two years, then moved to Atoka and continued the mercantile business over ten years, and since that time has given his attention exclusively to farming and running a steam cotton-gin, which he owns. Mr. McLaughlin has been married three times; first to Miss Margaret Wilson, a native of South Carolina, to whom he married March 16, 1848; the second time to Mrs. Nancy (Banks) White, October 12, 1854, and the third time to Mrs. Mary A.

The dates in the above account are not consistent with the census records, as John McLaughlin was living in Tipton County in 1850. His was, Margaret, was born in South Carolina and his son, Robert, was born in Mississippi. Assuming that the sequence of events is correct, but the dates and duration may not be then the following reconstruction is suggested.

1469 Jonathan C. Davis Within the limits of Cleveland County, Ark., there is no man of a more enterprising disposition, energy or honesty than Mr. Davis, who was born in York District, S. C., on December 13, 1829. His parents, Lusk and Margaret (Hart) Davis, were natives of South Carolina, and both died in Tipton County, Tenn., in 1868 and 1876, respectively, both being about fifty-seven years of age. They were married in South Carolina, and there made their home until the subject of this sketch was about five years of age, at which time they settled in Tipton County, Tenn., where they spent the remainder of their days in farming.
They were members of the Seceder Church, and their union resulted in the birth of five daughters and two sons, of whom Jonathan C. is the eldest.
He and Thomas, who is a Presbyterian minister residing in Kansas, are the only ones now living. Jonathan C. Davis received a fair education in Tipton County, Tenn., and at the age of twenty-two years began farming for himself, but gave up this work in 1862 to join the Twelfth Tennessee Confederate Cavalry, and served with that regiment until the close of the war, and being under Gen. Forrest was in many battles and skirmishes, and was wounded at Harrisburg, Miss., but was never taken prisoner. After his long term of service had expired he again turned his attention to farming, but unlike the great majority he had enough to begin housekeeping in a comfortable manner. In 1867 he came to Drew County, Ark., and in 1870 settled in Bradley County, and three years later on his present farm, which consists of 320 acres, of which 100 are under cultivation. In September, 1854, William and Catherine Simonton's daughter, Martha, became his wife, their union taking place in Tipton County, Tenn., and in time the following children clustered about their hearthstone: William T. (a farmer of the county), Robert T. (a farmer and apiarist of the county), John P. (also following the same occupation here), Ellen C. (wife of John Goodman (who resides with Mr. Davis engaged in tilling the soil), Anna L., Mary C. and Emma J. Charles C. died at the age of three years. The family attend the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, Mr. and Mrs. Davis being members of the same, and the former is a member of the Agricultural Wheel, and in his political views a stanch Democrat, but was the first man to vote the Prohibition ticket in Lee Township.

1470 Joseph Arthur Fowler, Memphis, Tennessee, was born in that city October 6 1883. He was educated in the Memphis public schools until he reached the age of fourteen years when necessity forced him into employment when, by chance, he became engaged in the electrical business.

She started in the Executive Management Program of First Tennessee Bank in 1974 eventually working as the Manager of the Germantown Branch. Later in her career she was in charge of the Debit Card division, retiring in 2003 as Senior Vice President of Deposit Services.

Elizabeth served on the Board of Shelby Farms Park Conservancy for 10 years. Prior to that, she also served as a board member of Friends of Shelby Farms. She fought to protect the park, dreamed and planned it’s future, and saw it through to implementation. Shelby Farms is part of her legacy. She also worked with the American Heart Association, Memphis Area Golden Retriever Rescue, and held various positions for the City of Germantown including, Germantown Planning Commission (1993-2002), Board of Zoning Appeals (2003-2012) and a member of the Germantown Chamber of Commerce representing First Tennessee Bank.

A world traveler, lover of good food and good wine, knitter, avid reader, prolific photographer, community activist, and devoted friend – she lit up the world around her and was the ultimate connector of people.

Her causes were many: the rescue and care of abandoned dogs, the desire to make the natural world a joy to many through her work with Shelby Farms Park, her service to the city of Germantown and her devotion to her family. Her greatest loves were her family and her friends.

She had a knack for bringing people together in various activities and groups such as book clubs, dinner groups and the like. Her many friends will always have her near with a photo album she made for them, a pair of socks she knit or a frequent toast of Prosecco to a memory that brings a smile.

Her blessings and inspiration live on in the lives of her son Will Boyd and his children Beth and Charles; her daughter Kara Nunn (Nick) and their children Megan, Kristin and William, along with her sister Anna Field Ellis (Cato) and their children Erin Ellis Avery (Chris) and Bear Ellis (Paige). She had a wonderful relationship with her ex-husband Bill Boyd, his wife Joyce and their two children Catherine and Kenneth.

Elizabeth was preceded by her loving parents Jennings Pemble Field, Jr and Elizabeth Durley Field.

Services will be held at 1:30 pm on Friday, May 18, 2018 at Germantown Presbyterian Church. Visitation will begin at 11:30.

In lieu of flowers send memorials to: Shelby Farms Park Conservancy and Memphis Area Golden Retriever Rescue.
