MOM GAVE HER KIDS THE GREATEST GIFT THAT A PARENT CAN GIVE. THAT GIFT IS THE KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS THE CHRIST, OUR LORD AND SAVIOR. SHE KEPT HER KIDS IN CHURCH AND SUNDAY SCHOOL. SHE MADE SURE THAT WE KNEW ABOUT GOD, THE FATHER, AND HIS LOVE FOR US. HOW GOD LEFT HIS THRONE IN HEAVEN AND CAME DOWN TO US AS JESUS, GOD'S ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, TO SAVE US AND RECONCILE US TO GOD, THE FATHER. HOW GOD THE FATHER GAVE US HIS HOLY SPIRIT, SEALING US FOR ALL ETERNITY WHEN WE FIRST BELIEVED AND ASKED HIM TO BECOME OUR LORD AND SAVIOR. SHE NOT ONLY KEPT US IN CHURCH BUT TAUGHT US ABOUT GOD AND HIS LOVE FOR US. SHE TAUGHT US TO LOVE GOD, TO RETURN THAT LOVE WHICH GOD GAVE US BY LOVING OTHERS THE WAY GOD LOVES US. SHE ALSO LIVED WHAT SHE TAUGHT US SETTING THE EXAMPLE FOR THE WAY IN WHICH WE SHOULD LIVE. REMINISCENCES OF CHILDHOOD -------------------------- ON 30 MARCH 1994 AT 7:30 P.M. MOM SAID THAT LONNIE RUDD (HER MOTHER'S HALF-SISTER) MARRIED MARSHALL HOUGH (PRONOUNCED HUFF). [ACTUALLY, LONNIE WAS TOMMIE AND MARGIE HOUGH'S DAUGHTER; LONNIE'S GRANDMOTHER, NANCY, WAS MOM'S MOTHER'S HALF-SISTER.] THE HOUGHS LIVED AT WEATHERFORD, OKLAHOMA WHEN MOM WAS 10 OR 11 YEARS OLD [1927 OR 1928]. BEFORE THAT, THEY LIVED IN TEXAS. MOM THINKS IT WAS IRVING, [IN THE GREATER DALLAS AREA NOW]. THEY HIRED MOM'S DAD [DEMPSEY ABE BAGWELL] TO PICK COTTON FOR THEM. (THEY PURCHASED COTTON CROPS THAT OTHER FARMERS PLANTED AND THEN HARVESTED IT. IT WAS A COMMOM PRACTICE IN THOSE DAYS.) DEMPSEY LIVED AT POWELL, OKLAHOMA [PROBABLY ERICK] AT THE TIME. COUSIN FRED [I DON'T HAVE A RECORD OF A FRED HOUGH UNLESS IT IS CHARLES] AND TOMMIE DROVE TO POWELL AND HAULED DEMPSEY AND HIS FAMILY BACK TO WEATHERFORD. (TOMMIE WAS MARRIED TO MARGIE.) AFTERWARDS, FRED AND TOMMIE RETURNED TO TEXAS. DEMPSEY AND HIS FAMILY STAYED IN WEATERFORD. BEFORE JANUARY OF THE NEXT YEAR, HOWEVER, DEMPSEY RETURNED TO POWELL FOR THE FURNITURE. MOM THINKS HER GRANDMOTHER RUDD (SUSANNAH S. WORRELL) DIED BEFORE SHE WAS BORN BECAUSE SHE DOES NOT REMEMBER EVER SEEING HER. SISTER [FANNIE BAGWELL NABORS] WAS THE ONLY ONE [SIBLING] WHO EVER SAW HER. I ASKED MOM IF ERVIN EVER SAW HER. SHE DIDN'T THINK SO. MOM SAID THAT HER GRANDMOTHER RUDD LIVED AT KELTIS [SPELLING IN DOUBT], TEXAS. [KELTIS IS IN ANGELINA COUNTY.] 1 APRIL 1994 AT 10'O'CLOCK REVEREND HOBSON WAS THE MINISTER OF THE METHODIST CHURCH THAT HER AND DADDY [EARL GLEN CAUDLE, SR.] ATTENDED AT NEW LIBERTY [NEAR SAYRE IN BECKHAM COUNTY, OKLAHOMA]. DADDY WOULDN'T GO TO THE BAPTIST CHURCH. HOWEVER, REVEREND HOBSON WAS A BAPTIST PASTORING THE METHODIST CHURCH THERE AT NEW LIBERTY. HE FOUND HIMSELF WITHOUT A BAPTIST CHURCH WHEN THE METHODIST CHURCH FOUND ITSELF WITHOUT A PASTOR. HE APPLIED FOR THE PASTORATE AND GOT IT. MOM SAID HE TOLD THE CONGREGATION THAT, "HE WAS A BAPTIST AND HE MIGHT STEP ON SOME TOES NOW AND THEN ...." REVEREND HOBSON MARRIED MOM AND DADDY. HE TOLD HER THAT DAD'S 10-YEARS AGE DIFFERENCE DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING. MOM DISAGREES!!! SHE THINKS IT DOES SINCE DADDY DIED FIRST. BROTHER HOBSON CONVINCED DADDY THAT IT WAS OKAY TO GO TO A SOUTHERN BAPTIST CHURCH. DADDY RESPECTED BROTHER HOBSON AND THEREFORE BELIEVED WHAT HE SAID. [LATER AT MARRIETTA, OKLAHOMA, DADDY ATTENDED A SOUTHERN BAPTIST CHURCH WITH MOM REGULARLY BECAUSE ATTENDING THE CHURCH WAS CONVENIENT (IT WAS LOCATED ABOUT 1/2 MILE FROM WHERE WE LIVED IN THE COUNTRY WHICH WAS 5 MILES WEST OF MARRIETTA) AND HE LIKED THE PASTOR [BROTHER ROWLAND] THERE ALSO. IN FACT BROTHER ROWLAND HELPED DADDY BUILD THE HOUSE WHERE WE LIVED THERE. A CYCLONE BLEW THE FIRST AWAY BEFORE THEY FINISHEDIT; THEREFORE, HE HELPED DADDY BUILD THE SECOND ONE.] WHEN SHE WAS 14 YEARS OF AGE, MOM SAID SHE WAS SAVED AT A SOUTHERN BAPTIST REVIVAL AT ERICK, OKLAHOMA. LATER, SHE WAS BAPTIZED THERE. MOM SAID SHE PREVIOUSLY WALKED DOWN THE AILE TO THE ALTER AT A NAZARINE CHURCH AT WEATHERFORD, OKLAHOMA AND PRAYED (SHE HAD EARLIER RODE TO THE CHURCH WITH HER FRIENDS AND THEY WENT DOWN THE AILE), BUT SHE REMEMBERS BEING SAVED AT THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST CHURCH THERE IN ERICK. [FROM WHAT SHE SAID I DEDUCT THAT THE REVIVAL WAS HELD OUTSIDE THE CHURCH, POSSIBLY IN A TENT.] MOM SAID HER DAD, DEMPSEY WAS ALWAYS SOUTHERN BAPTIST. I ASKED HER IF THAT'S WHY SHE DIDN'T JOIN OR WASN'T BAPTIZED BY THE NAZARINE CHURCH. SHE SAID," NO." SHE SAID SHE LIKED THE NAZARINE CHURCH. THERE WAS NO HOLLERING. MOM SAID THAT DADDY LATER WENT TO THE BAPTIST CHURCH BY HIMSELF EVEN WHEN SHE DIDN'T FEEL LIKE GOING. SHE SAID THIS WAS BECAUSE BROTHER HOBSON CONVINCED HIM THAT A SOUTHERN BAPTIST CHURCH WAS OKAY. DADDY TOOK HER TO A SOUTHERN BAPTIST CHURCH IN MT. HOME, ARKANSAS SOMETIMES, BUT THEY DIDN'T ATTEND REGULAR. DADDY BUILT A HOUSE THERE AT MT. HOME WITH THE HELP OF HIS BROTHERS, BURNICE AND ELWOOD. [DADDY EARLIER TOLD ME ONE TIME AFTER I WAS IN COLLEGE, THAT HE BUILT A HOUSE AT MT. HOME AND LAYED OFF THE FOUNDATION WITHOUT SQUARING IT. THE RESULT WAS THAT AFTER HE POURED THE CONCRETE AND CUT THE LUMBER THE HOUSE WAS CROOKED. HE SAID THE WALLS WERE GOING EVERYWHERE. HE HAD TO GO INTO TOWN AND FIND SOMEBODY THAT KNEW WHAT HE DID WRONG. HE TOLD ME HOW THE MAN SHOWED HIM HOW TO SQUARE THE FOUNDATION BEFORE DIGGING THE DITCHES AND POURING THE CONCRETE. AFTER MEASURING THE SIZE OF THE HOUSE, DRIVING THE STAKES AT EACH CORNER, WRAPPING TWINE, STRING, SMALL ROPE, OR LINES (SOME PEOPLE EVEN USED BAILING WIRE) AROUND THE STAKES, YOU MEASURE A TRIAGLE AT ONE CORNER. I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT MEASUREMENTS BUT I THINK IT WAS 5 X 7. HE WAS IMBARRASSED ABOUT THE WHOLE THING AND HE HAD TO BORROW MONEY BECAUSE OF IT.] MOM SAID THAT DADDY WANTED TO LIVE IN MT. HOME BUT THAT HE COULDN'T WAIT TO GET BACK TO OKLAHOMA WHEN HE LIVED THERE. [I ASKED DADDY IN 1968 TIME WHY HE MOVED TO MT. HOME. HE SAID THAT HE ALWAYS WANTED TO LIVE THERE WHEN HE WAS A YOUNG MAN. HE MOVED THERE FROM SAYRE, OKLAHOMA ABOUT 2-YEARS AFTER HIM AND MOM WERE MARRIED. HE BOUGHT 80 ACRES, A TEAM OF HORSES, A PLOW, AND A WAGON. HE MADE ONE FURROW AROUND A FIELD WITH THE PLOW, UNHOOKED THE HORSES FROM THE PLOW, HOOKED THEM UP TO THE WAGON, DROVE TO TOWN, AND SOLD EVERYTHING TO A TEXAN WHO WALKED UP TO HIM ON THE STREET. SURPRISED, I ASKED WHY HE DID THAT. HE SAID THERE WERE TOO MANY ROCKS. HE SAID HE NEVER SAW SO MANY ROCKS IN HIS LIFE AND IT TOOK HIM TO LONG TO PLOW ONE FURROW.] MOM SAID THAT, BACK IN THOSE DAYS, YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT SO MUCH MEANESS. THEY SLEPT OUT IN THE WOODS WHEN THEY TRAVELED TO ARKANSAS. YOU CAN'T DO THAT TODAY. [WHEN I WAS SMALL AND WE MOVED TO WINLOCK, WASHINGTON FROM MARIETTA, OKLAHOMA, WE STAYED IN A MOTEL. THE ROOMS WERE REALLY SMALL COMPARED TO MOTEL ROOMS TODAY.] SHE SAID HER MOM (ANNA LUCRETIA RUDD GILLENTINE-BAGWELL) DID NOT LIKE OKLAHOMA. SHE NEVER SAID WHY BUT I THINK IT WAS BECAUSE SHE WAS TOO FAR AWAY FROM HER FAMILY AND SHE WAS A TEXAN THROUGH AND THROUGH. IT ALSO COULD HAVE BEEN DUE TO HER NOT BEING NEAR HER LITTLE BOYS (ERVIN GILLENTINE AND HORASE WILLIAM BAGWELL) THAT SHE LOST. IT COULD HAVE ALSO BEEN BECAUSE OF HAVING TO MOVE FROM CANTON, TEXAS BECAUSE THEY LOST THE FARM. HER DAD DROVE HIS DAD'S (HEZEKIAH CALHOUN BAGWELL) BODY BACK TO CANTON, TEXAS AT NIGHT BECAUSE HE DIED ABOUT THE LAST DAY OF MAY AND IT WAS BEGINNING TO GET HOT. HE DIED IN MAY 1925 OR 1926. [SHE TOLD ME EARLIER THAT HEZEKIAH WOULD LOOK TOWARD THE EAST AND TALK ABOUT GEORGIA. SHE SAID THEY WERE SITTING IN THE HOUSE WHEN THEIR DOG (BOUSER) RAN UP TO THE HOUSE BARKING. THE DOG HAD EARLIER FOLLOWED HEZEKIAH TO THE COTTON FIELD (AT POWELL, OKLAHOMA). AFTER A WHILE, HER DAD TOLD HER MOM THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG BECAUSE IT WAS NOT LIKE OLD BOUSER TO BARK LIKE THAT. HE FOLLOWED BOUSER RIGHT TO HIS FATHER'S BODY. HEZEKIAH WAS ALREADY DEAD WHEN DEMPSEY GOT THERE. HE CARRIED HIM BACK TO THE HOUSE, TOOK A DOOR DOWN AND LAID IT ACROSS THE TABLE AND LAID HEZEKIAH ON THE DOOR. THEN HE PLACED SILVER DOLLARS ON HEZEKIAH'S EYES. THAT NIGHT THEY HAD AN OLD FASHIONED WAKE WHILE HER DAD BUILT A COFFIN FOR HEZEKIAH. THE NEXT MORNING DEMPSEY RENTED A CHEVROLET TRUCK TO HAUL HIS DAD TO CANTON, TEXAS FOR BURIAL IN STAR CEMETERY.] MOM CALLED HER DAD PAPA AND HER MOM MAMA. MAMA WOULD NOT LET THEM START TO SCHOOL UNTIL THEY WERE 8 YEARS OLD AND THEY WERE ALWAYS BEHIND IN CLASS. MOM SAID SHE SKIPPED GRADE 6 TO CATCH-UP IN THE CLASS SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN. SHE HATED TO BE BEHIND IN THE CLASS. PAPA HAD A 7TH GRADE EDUCATION AND MAMA HAD A 3RD. MAMA WAS SMART ABOUT BIBLICAL THINGS THOUGH FOR A PERSON WHO ONLY HAD 3 YEARS OF SCHOOL. MOM THOUGHT THAT HER MOTHER MAY HAVE GOTTEN HER BIBLICAL KNOWLEDGE FROM PAPA WHOM MOM SAID WAS REALLY SMART. [MOM TOLD ME WHEN I WAS GROWING-UP THAT HER DAD WAS SMART. SHE ALSO TOLD ME HE WAS MISCHEVIOUS. I WANTED TO BE LIKE GRANDAD. SO WHEN SHE TOLD ME SOMETHING HE DID, I NOT ONLY DUPLICATED IT BUT I EXAGGERATED IT. I WAS IN TROUBLE AT SCHOOL ALL THE TIME AND MOM AND DAD NEVER DID FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS BEHIND IT.] PAPA WOULDN'T LET HIS DAUGHTERS: VERA AND MOM, WORK FOR LESS THAN $2 A DAY. THAT'S ALSO THE AMOUNT THAT PAPA WORKED FOR. PAPA LET THEM KEEP THEIR $2 A DAY TO BUY CLOTHES AND THINGS. LETTER MOM WROTE ---------------- POSTMARKED 11 MAY 1966 TUESDAY NIGHT FROM: 5801 WILL ROOGERS RD. MIDWEST CITY, OKLA. 73110 TO: PRESTON M. CAUDLE (AUDITOR) POSTAGE DUE 5 CENT C/O ALTUS A.F.B. NOTIFIED MAY 12, 1966 ALTUS, OKLAHOMA (ABOVE STAMPED ON ENVELOPE) DEAR SON: THOUGHT I WOULD WRITE A FEW LINES TO YOU AND GIVE YOU A LITTLE ADVICE CONCERNING KAY. SINCE I HAVE BEEN IN MIDWEST CITY I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT THEIR NERVES GAVE WAY ON THEM FOR VARIOUS REASONS. ONE LADY WAS ON ACCOUNT OF HER BROTHER GETTING KILLED. I DO NOT REMEMBER JUST HOW IT HAPPENED BUT THERE HAD BEEN OTHER THINGS BUILDING UP BETWEEN HER & HER HUSBAND. SOME OF THEM WAS OVER THE CHILDREN AND THEN SUDDENLY THE WORD ABOUT HER BROTHER & SHE BROKE. SHE WAS IN COYNE CAMPBELL FOR ABOUT 6 WEEKS. I THINK IT WAS THE LAST TIME I TALKED TO HER. SHE WAS STILL GOING BACK OVER THERE TO THE DOCTOR THAT GAVE HER THE SHOCK TREATMENTS. SHE SAID WHEN SHE FELT SHE MIGHT GO TO PIECES, SHE WENT FOR A TREATMENT. I THINK HE CHARGES HER $10.00 BECAUSE SHE IS A PATIENT. I TALKED TO ANOTHER ONE THAT WENT TO PIECES & HAD TO BE TREATED BY A NERVE DOCTOR. HE TOLD HER HUSBAND THAT IT WAS UP TO HIM TO BRING HER OUT OF IT. HE TOLD HIM TO NEVER SPEAK CROSS TO HER AND IF SHE WANTED TO TALK TO HIM TO LISTEN. HE TOLD HIM TO ALWAYS BE HOME ON TIME AS NEAR AS POSSIBLE & IF SHE WAS FEELING BAD OR REAL NERVOUS & DIDN'T HAVE SUPPER READY TO TAKE HER OUT RIDING OR FOR HAMBURGERS OR JUST ANYTHING FOR A DIVERSION. SHE SAID SHE WAS THAT WAY FOR A LONG TIME BUT THROUGH HIS PATIENCE & KINDNESS SHE OVERCOME IT. I ASKED KAY IF ANYTHING WAS BOTHERING HER OR MADE HER EXTRA NERVOUS & SHE SAID THE ONLY THING THAT REALLY BOTHERED HER TO EXCESS WAS YOUR STUDYING. SHE SAID SHE WAS UNDER A STRAIN WHEN THE KIDS WERE NOISY & YOU WERE TRYING TO STUDY AND SHE WANTED SOME ONE TO TALK TO & GO PLACES WITH & YOU WERE TOO BUSY STUDYING. SHE SAID SHE GUESSED YOU HAD STUDIED SO LONG THAT SHE WAS JUST TIRED OF IT. THERE IS PROBABLY A RESENTMENT OR 'JELLOUSNESS' THERE THAT CAUSES PRESSURE. IT IS LIABLE TO COST YOU ABOUT $500.00 OR MAYBE A $1,000.00 IF YOU KEEP ON & SHE CAN'T GET HERSELF 'STRAIGHTEENED' OUT. IT ALL DEPENDS ON HOW BAD SHE GETS. SOME PEOPLE CAN'T EVER GET OVER IT ENTIRELY IF THEY LET IT GO. I KNOW IT WILL BE HARD FOR YOU TO BE CHEERFUL WHEN YOU DON'T FEEL CHEERFUL BUT IF YOU COULD BE WHEN SHE IS DEPRESSED THAT WOULD DO MORE GOOD THAN MEDICINE. SHE SAID SHE KNEW WHY YOU WERE WORKING SO HARD BUT SHE JUST WANTED CONPANIONSHIP NOW. YOU MIGHT GO TALK TO A GOOD NERVE DOCTOR OR 'PHYCHARRIST' ABOUT IT & SEE IF YOU CAN'T HEAD IT OFF BEFORE IT GETS ANY WORSE. SHE ALSO TOLD ME THAT SHE COULDN'T GET CLOSE TO MELITA AND THAT WORRIES HER. SHE SAID SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHY BUT SHE COULDN'T. MELITA NEEDS YOU WORSE THAN KAY ANYWAY. I DO NOT MEAN THAT SHE NEEDS YOU MORE THAN SHE DOES KAY. I MEAN SHE NEEDS TO FEEL A CLOSENESS TO YOU AS HER DADDY. THERE IS SOMETHING IN A GIRL THAT LONGS FOR A DADDY'S LOVE. I DIDN'T KNOW ALL OF THIS WHEN ANN WAS GROWING UP. IF I HAD, I WOULD HAVE SHOVED HER ON TO GLEN IF I COULD HAVE. HE WAS TOO BUSY THOUGH FOR ANY OF US. I RESENTED THAT TOO BUT I WASN'T SICK & I HAD AWFULLY STRONG NERVES I GUESS. ANOTHER THING I WAS SO BUSY ALL THE TIME. THE DAYS WERE NEVER LONG ENOUGH TO GET ALL MY WORK DONE. AND BEING OUTSIDE WATCHING STUFF GROW IT WAS SOOTHING AND BEFORE LONG I WOULD BE OVER MY HURT. I SHOULDN'T HAVE EVER LEFT THE FARM. I DO NOT HAVE THAT INNER PEACE THAT I HAD WHEN I COULD BE OUTSIDE WORKING. IF DADDY & I WOULD HAVE LIVED IN TOWN UNDER PRESSURE LIKE IT IS NOW & GOT ALONG LIKE WE DID i WOULD HAVE PROBABLY HAD TO BE PUT AWAY OR SOMETHING. WELL MILFORD REMEMBER I LOVE YOU & THE ONLY REASON I AM WRITING THIS IS TO HELP YOU. I LOVE KAY TOO & I CAN REMEMBER HOW SWEET SHE WAS WHEN YOU WERE OVERSEAS. SHE MOTHERED EVERY BODY EXCEPT ANN. HER & ANN NEVER COULD GET VERY CLOSE. BLESS HER HEART I KNOW SHE CAN BE HELPED & A LOT DEPENDS ON YOU. SHE MAY SAY HATEFUL THINGS TO YOU BUT UNDERNEATH ALL OF IT SHE REALLY LOVES YOU A LOT. A PARTIME JOB MIGHT HELP HER. A FULL TIME JOB MIGHT BE TOO MUCH TO START WITH. PEGGY ALMOST HAD A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN ONE TIME THAT IS WHY SHE WENT TO WORK THE FIRST TIME. EARL SAID IT REALLY HELPED HER. BY BY. MOM (DON'T LET KAY KNOW I WROTE THIS TO YOU.)

Caudle united states office of personnel management joined oklahoma national guard, headquarters battery 160 field artillery battalion of the 45th division on 31 january 1955... Serial no. 25757219... Honorably discharged 1 june 1955 by reason of enlistment in regular naval service. Memories of my naval service: The recruiter picked me up 31 may 1955. I was hoeing watermelons without a shirt that morning so i was sunburned pretty good. Our neighbor, lonnie smith - about my age - he had just graduated from high school - came to the house to see me off and the recruiter talked him into going, too. Daddy gave me two $2 bills - it was all he had. The recruiter took us to the sheridan hotel in oklahoma city. Lonnie and i went to a movie. I spent $1 if i remember correctly. Next morning we walked down to the recruiting station... There were several guys there that had been recruited for the marines waiting to take their physical...They rode the bus with us to will rogers field... Given the armed forces entrance test...Waited for the results...Bus took us to another building to eat cafeteria style... Then they picked us up again in a bus and took us to another building that looked like it was constructed out of tin. It was a long slim building. Some young men with white jackets gave us a small necked jar...They told to urinate in the jar...Waited...They led further into the building...Some more men with white jackets told us to take our clothes off...They told us to stand in-line against the wall... Waiting...Told by a hurried man in a white jacket to turn around and face the wall, bend over and spread our cheeks (buttocks)...A man in the white jacket walked behind us looking at our behinds...A black guy not too far from me flatulated...Earlier, he was late arriving for the physical...They gave him the small necked jar too after we had already finished and left...He suffered an erection and couldn't get his penis out of the jar...The men in white jackets had to help...He said he had been with a girl...The man in the white jacket was already upset because he was late...Now he was really upset...Someone in the line snickered...Heard the man say we had a clown amoung us...He told us to turn around and face the front...Then he told us to turn our heads to the right and cough when he walked by and jabbed us in the groin like this( he gave us a demonstration)...The black guy that flatulated did not turn his head when the man in the white jacket jabbed him...Instead, he coughed right in the man's face...The man in the white jacket now was even more angry...He jabbed the black guy forcefully in the groin looking him right in the eye and daring him to cough in his face again...The black guy did and the man in the white jacket repeated his jab...This time harder...The black guy turned his head then...The man in the white jacket asked us about dreams and whether or not we talked and walked in our sleep or wet the bed...One guy did...They rejected him and escorted him out...They told us that the navy could not have someone sleepwalk overboard...They took those of us that passed the mental and physical test to another building where we waited some more...After a while several men showed up...At least one was an officer - i think he was a navy captain...He asked us if we were ready to be sworn in...We all shouted yes - it was about 5 p.M....He lined us up in columns and we repeated the oath of service with him...Waiting... Given plane tickets...Waiting...Boarded the plane about 8 p.M. On 1 june 1955 at will rogers airport in oklahoma city...Bound for san deigo, california...Arrived in san deigo airport about 1 or 2 o'clock a.M. On 2 june 1955...One person assigned in our group to make sure we all got to san diego...Boarded a bus that would take us to san deigo boot camp...The guy assigned to watch over us told the guy driving the bus about the black guy making trouble at the recruiting station and on two or three other guys that talked back to him after he was put in charge...The bus driver reamed the black guy and the other guys out for causing trouble... Everybody that smoked lit-up and the bus was completely foggy with smoke...Bus arrived at the boot camp...Got off the bus and told to line up on billet numbers painted on the deck...They told us to empty our pockets and billfolds...Some guys didn't and they found out quickly that the navy meant business...Assigned to company 243...After about an hour and a half they marched us to the barracks about 3 o'clock a.M....Some of the guys began to imitate animal and bird sounds...A black sailor showed-up immediately and made us all get out of bed...He lined us up outside in columns and told us we were not in the boyscouts..."you are in the united states navy now"...We all knew we were in trouble then...After about 30 minutes he released us and we filed in the barracks about 4 o'clock in the morning...No more sounds...Woke up to reveraly at 5 o'clock a.M...Marched to breakfast...After breakfast, marched again over to the testing center where they administed about 4 or five hours of tests to us: one was math, another one was reading, one was recognizing tools, one was clerical, one was technical that included a lot of electronics, and one was mechanics...They marched us to the noon meal...Given burr haircuts that afternoon...Answered the psychiatrist's question "why we joined the navy"...Assigned our serial numbers...Mine was 352-65-88; however, they screwed-up and gave me a different serial number on my medical records: it was 352-65-87...I had to straighten it out...Later, i met the guy in our sister company that was assigned my medical serial number...He was from tulsa, oklahoma...352 was a block of numbers assigned to recruits from oklahoma...I remember that 362 was assigned to texans...They told to memorize them...Given yet another physical... Started our shots...Lined up in columns...Asked final time if we had any pains that we hadn't said anything about...One guy whose name we found out later said "my scrotum hurt"...The petty officer ignored him...They did ask him some more questions...(later, we nicknamed him "sickbay" smith because he went to sickbay to keep from taking the weekly shots (however, he had to take all the shots all at once at the end of boot camp)...They marched us to the barracks and assigned us bunks and lockers...Then they marched to regemental headquarters for our lock and key for our lockers (we left one key a regimental headquarters in case we locked the key in our locker)...We marched the rest of the day and from that night on we had to stand watch for 2-hours until we gradurated...That night we really slept...No animal or bird sounds...The next day we marched...In fact we marched everywhere...They issued our uniforms to us on the third day...They just looked at us and guessed what size we were...I was issued size 33 in the waist but i wore size 27 jeans...I was issued size 10 ½ shoes but i wore 11 ½ civilian shoes....Except for the uniforms the shoes fit...(we couldn't wear our white hats because we had not learned how and when to salute...As a result our scalps really sunburned in that southern california sun...The hair on the side of our heads began to turn a bleached-out color...Most of the time it was over 100 degrees while we were there and on the grinder it was 115 to 120...But i was used to it since dad had made us work in the oklahoma sun which gets as hot, if not hotter, than southern california)...After the navy issued us our uniforms, they marched us to the shipping building where we changed from civilian clothes to military...They encouraged us to give our civilian clothes to charity but i mailed my civies home because i figured i would need them when i got home...Some contributed them to local charities...More waiting...More marching...The navy required us to take a shower and shave every day (this was new to me because i had always taken a bath once a week because we didn't have running water in the house however, i took a bath every day in the summer time because i swam every day)...Now our navy training really began...They issued us leggins and showed us how to put them on...They inspected us every morning to see if we had washed our clothes the night before and put our leggins on right...We attended military classes in the morning on naval history, navy justice or the uniform code of military justice, electronic communication usually aboard ship (this included general quarters which were told is the secret to winning naval battles), weapons, swimming, chaplain lectures usually on vd or homosexuality, tying knots, mooring ships, firefighting and demolition...Then we applied what we learned by tieing knots, mooring a ship (they had a simulated ship which we boarded and moored), firefighting (they actually locked us in an adobe building where one room was filled with oil and set it on fire. We had to put it out.) and demolition (this incuded explosives, the atomic bomb, electrical fires, sealing off a ship, using fire extinguishers, foam, water, and etc....Weapons training which included firing the m-1 rifle, beyonet fighting, and simulating 50 calibre anti aircraft fire on a stationary mount that was like a gun torret on a ship, use of gas masks (we had to stand inside a room and put our masks on when they released tear gas)...Our daily routine also included washing our clothes in a bucket by hand and hanging them up on a mast using tie-ties (a 6 or 8 inch cord with metal crimping on each end) every night and clean the bathroom and barracks every morning after use...Bag inspections (this was our government issue clothes): there was a certain way that all clothes had to be folded and it always meant that the name and serial number stenciled on them had to be showing...An officer, usually a lt. Would walk by and look at them making comments...He riduculed us and slapped some of the sailors...He never slapped me although i came close once... He looked at my clothes on the bed and didn't like the way they were folded...The swimming trunks, shorts, and socks had to be folded in such a way that they had a pouch underneath the stenciled name...He said, "do you know what a pussy is sailor"...I said," yes sir" but it wasn't convincing because he then said "you are a clown, sailor"...I said, "i wasn't no clown"...He repeated it, raised his hand, but i looked him in the eyes determinedly, not wavering, he turned around and went down the aise and accused a texan of being a clown and when he denied it he slapped him several times in the face...In the 5th week they issued pieces to us (it was a piece because the rifle had a piece of wood driven down the barrel...It was a springfield rifle...I think the calvery used it before the turn of the century or the army used in world war i...We began our physical training with the pieces that day...They made us go through a 16 count exercise with the pieces while a record played music...We had to all be in time with the music and each of us had to be in time with each other...They kept us there doing it until we got it right...I believe it took us more than 5-hours the afternoon we were issued our piece...Of course if you dropped the piece, you had to sleep with it...One of the sixteen exercises was butts and muzzles and i don't remember what the other 15 were...The sixteen different exercises had 16 movements in each of the sixteen...

Informed by personnel that i had been promoted to aviation storekeeper 3rd class - effective in december 1958... However, i never sewed on the stripes because the promotion didn't become effective until after my discharge... One of the personnelman asked me if the promotion would make a difference... I have to admit it was tempting because i had put my whole heart and mind into getting promoted and learning my job. I didn't want to give it up or leave the life i had found behind. The personnelman sat there tempting me with a bag of money totaling more than $3800 if i shipped over (reenlisted). Whew! I was discharged 28 nov 1958. I drove around the base before leaving because i knew it was closing after the first of the new year and i would never see it again the way it was then.

However, when i clocked-in, tommy brown, the division foreman, asked me if i was in the reserves. I told him i was in the inactive reserves and he told me to get over there against the wall. I did... Others came in and he asked them the same question and told them the same thing... There were about three of us... We couldn't call home or talk to anyone... They told us we might be on active duty before the night was over. After about two hours of this, they released us and we went back to work. I read in the newspapers later that president kennedy had obtained intelligence that strongly indicated russia would not go to war over the missiles in cuba. According to the newspapers an intelligence agent gave his life for the information. Many years later, however, i found out that we did almost go to war that night. If you think about it, one mistake on either side and the bombers and missiles would've been released... Completed my 8 year obligation... Received an honorable discharge 26 january 1963...

SHE WAS TOO YOUNG TO REMEMBER THE NAME OF THE TOBACCO. HE SPENT MUCH TIME TRAVELING IN A COVERED WAGON AND NEVER STAYED VERY LONG IN ONE PLACE. THERE IS ONLY SPECULATION AS TO THE REASON FOR THIS. WORD IS THAT HE HAD IN HIS POSSESSION THREE GOLD PIECES, FROM WHERE HE OBTAINED THEM WE ARE UNSURE. THESE WERE RECALLED BY THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, HOWEVER, THEY WEREN'T RETURNED UNTIL AFTER JIM'S DEATH. BORN TO JAMES ARCHIE HOBBS, JR. AND STELLA FLETCHER WAS A SECOND LITTLE GIRL, ESTELLA ON APRIL 10, 1910. ESTELLA LIVED IN COVERED WAGONS TRAVELING FROM PLACE TO PLACE WITH HER FAMILY. SHE ATTENDED SCHOOL WHEREVER THEY HAPPENED TO BE DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR. (I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO LOCATE THEM IN ANY CENSUS IN OKLAHOMA NOR TEXAS.) THEREFORE, SHE WAS ONLY PRIVILEGED A FOURTH GRADE EDUCATION. I KNOW VERY LITTLE ABOUT MY GRANDMOTHER (ESTELLA) FROM THIS TIME UNTIL SHE MET MY GRANDFATHER (ERVIN). (IDA WOULD KNOW MORE ABOUT HER CHILDHOOD. I NEVER THOUGHT TO ASK GRANDMA.) I REMEMBER MY MOTHER (BILLIE) TALK[ED] ABOUT HOW ESTELLA WAS A PERFECTIONIST. SHE WANTED THINGS DONE JUST SO-SO AND NOTHING WAS SHORT OF THAT. SHE WAS QUITE FOND OF HER MOTHER (STELLA) AND TRIED TO PLEASE HER IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE. I KNOW SHE WAS RAISED TO BE A GOOD CHRISTIAN IN THE CHURCH OF CHRIST. STELLA (JAMES ARCHIE'S SECOND WIFE) WAS A VERY DEVOTED CHRISTIAN LADY AND LIVED A GODLY LIFE. SO MUCH SO THAT WHEN MY GRANDMOTHER (ESTELLA) DIED SOME OF HER LAST WORDS WERE THAT SHE WAS GOING TO GO SEE "MAMA" (STELLA), MYRTLE, AND DADDY (ERVIN). WHAT A TESTIMONY!! ONE SUNDAY IN WEATHERFORD, OKLAHOMA, JAMES ARCHIE HOBBS, JR. (JIM, AS SOME OF THE FAMILY REMEMBER HIM) ALLOWED ESTELLA TO ATEND AN AFTERNOON SINGING WITH MAYME FLETCHER (STELLA FLETCHER HOBBS' SISTER - (GRANDMA'S AUNT). JIM DIDN'T ATTEND CHURCH AND WASN'T FOND OF HIS FAMILY ATTENDING. THE FLETCHER[S] ATTENDED THE PENTECOSTAL CHURCH REGULARLY SO IT WASN'T UNCOMMON FOR THEM TO BE AT CHURCH ALL DAY, BUT THIS PARTICULAR AFTERNOON TURNED OUT TO BE EXTRA-ORDINARY. IT WAS THERE THAT ESTELLA MET A YOUNG MAN BY THE NAME OF ERVIN DEMPSEY BAGWELL, SON OF DEMPSEY ABE AND ANNA LUCRETIA RUDD GILLENTINE BAGWELL. THE BAGWELLS WERE GOOD BAPTIST PEOPLE BUT ERVIN HAD LEFT THE BAPTIST CHURCH AND WAS ATTENDING A PENTECOSTAL CHURCH WITH SOME FRIENDS, JAKE, JOHN AND RICE MILLER. IT WAS BECAUSE OF THEM THAT ERVIN EXPERIENCED "PENTECOST" AND LATER SERVED AS PASTOR OF FOUR DIFFERENT ASSEMBLIES OF GOD CHURCHES. ON JUNE 23, 1928 ERVIN DEMPSEY BAGWELL AND ESTELLA HOBBS WERE MARRIED IN WEATHERFORD, OKLAHOMA. BEING ONLY 17 AND 18, RESPECTFULLY, THESE NEWLYWEDS HAD LITTLE MONEY, THEREFORE SPENT THEIR FIRST NIGHT ON COTS IN A ONE ROOM APARTMENT AT A BOARDING HOUSE IN WEATHERFORD, NEAR THE PRESENT DAY OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY, WHERE HIRAM AND GENEVA ADALINE KERNS FLETCHER WERE OWNERS. ERVIN AND ESTELLA LIVED SEVERAL PLACES DURING THEIR MARRIED LIFE. THEY LIVED IN CUSTER COUNTY NEAR THOMAS AND LATER MOVED TO GOOSENECK, TEXAS. ERVIN HAD HEARD ABOUT SEVERAL RAILROAD EMPLOYMENTS AND WENT THERE TO TRY HIS LUCK. HE APPLIED FOR A RAILROAD ENGINEER'S POSITION BUT WAS UNABLE TO PASS HIS PHYSICAL - HE WAS TOLD HE HAD A HEART MURMUR. DISMAYED AND UNABLE TO FIND ANY OTHER EMPLOYMENT, HE AND ESTELLA MOVED BACK TO THE BECKHAM COUNTY (MAYFIELD) AREA. IT WAS HERE THAT THEIR FIRST CHILD WAS BORN. ON NOVEMBER 6, 1929 AT MAYFIELD, BECKHAM COUNTY, OKLAHOMA ON THE OLD HOBBS FARM A LITTLE GIRL, BILLIE LOUISE BAGWELL WAS BORN TO THIS UNION. BILLIE GREW UP AROUND THE BECKHAM COUNTY AREA. SHE BEGAN ATTENDING SCHOOL AT MAYFIELD OR BULO SCHOOLS BUT SOON TRANSFERRED TO SUPERIOR, ARIZONA. ON NOVEMBER 27, 1935 A SECOND PRETTY LITTLE BLOND HEADED BABY GIRL, CLOETTA FAYE BAGWELL WAS BORN IN BULO (SAYRE), OKLAHOMA (BECKHAM COUNTY). CLOETTA WAS QUITE A DADDY'S GIRL. SHE WOULD SET ON THE FRONT PORCH OF THE HOUSE WITH THE NEWSPAPER IN HER ARMS. IT WAS OUT OF THE QUESTION FOR ANYONE TO READ IT BEFORE DADDY. HE WAS FIRST IN HER LIFE AND SHE GUARDED THE PAPER FOR HIM. IN 1935 ERVIN, LOOKING FOR A BETTER LIFE, HITCHHIKED ["RODE THE FREIGHTS" OR "HOBOED"] WITH MR. [LOUIS NORMAN] CAUDLE (WHOSE SON [EARL GLEN, SR. HAD] ... MARRIED ERVIN'S YOUNG[EST LIVING] SISTER, MINNIE LOU) HEADING FOR CALIFORNIA. ON THE ROAD THEY DECIDED TO STOP IN SUPERIOR, ARIZONA TO STAY AWHILE WITH JAMES OSCAR AND MARY LOU (MONROE) BAGWELL. AFTER FINDING WORK IN SUPERIOR AND RECEIVING HIS FIRST PAYCHECK, ERVIN SENT BUSFARE MONIES TO ESTELLA TO BRING THE TWO GIRLS AND COME TO SUPERIOR. THIS WAS THEIR BIG MOVE WESTWARD! IN EARLY 1936, ESTELLA, BILLIE, AND TINY BABY CLOETTA BOARDED THE BUS AND HEADED WEST. UPON ARRIVAL THEY FOUND THAT ERVIN WAS WORKING IN THE SMELTER WHERE HE WAS A MEMBER OF THE MAGMA COPPER CLUB. HE WAS MAKING IT BIG TIME! BECAUSE OF THEIR FREQUENT RELOCATING AND LACK OF CHURCHES IN THE AREA, ERVIN, ESTELLA AND THEIR GIRLS HAD GRADUALLY FORGOTTEN THE "ASSEMBLING" OF THEMSELVES TOGETHER WITH OTHER BELIEVERS. WHILE IN SUPERIOR, ARIZONA, BILLIE WAS CARRIED TO CHURCH BY ANNA LUCRETIA RUDD GILLENTINE BAGWELL (HER GRANDMOTHER). ANNA LOU AND DEMPSEY WERE GOOD BAPTIST PEOPLE AND ATTENDED CHURCH FAITHFULLY. ONE SUNDAY EVENING BILLIE, ALONE AT CHURCH WITHOUT HER MOTHER AND FATHER, WENT FORWARD TO ACCEPT CHRIST AS HER SAVIOR AND WAS LATER INSTRUMENTAL IN ERVIN AND ESTELLA GETTING BACK INTO CHURCH AND INTO THE MINISTRY. ONE DAY A LADY MINISTER AND HER FAMILY CAME TO SUPERIOR TO PIONEER A PENTECOSTAL CHURCH. UPON CHECKING AT THE LOCAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE THEY WERE DISMAYED TO FIND ONLY TWO (2) FAMILIES WHO EVEN CLAIMED A PENTECOSTAL EXPERIENCE (THE McGEES AND THE ERVIN BAGWELL FAMILY). THEIR WORK WAS LAID OUT FOR THEM!! WHEN CHECKING WITH ERVIN AND ESTELLA THIS MINISTER FAMILY FOUND ERVIN CLAIMING TO BE PENTECOSTAL HOLINESS. HE MADE SURE THEY KNEW THE DIFFERENCE IN THE ASSEMBLIES OF GOD (WHICH THIS MINISTER FAMILY CLAIMED) AND THE PENTECOSTAL HOLINESS. HE WAS PENTECOSTAL HOLINESS!! ESTELLA HAD BEEN RAISED CHURCH OF CHRIST; HOWEVER[,] STELLA FLETCHER HOBBS (ESTELLA'S MOTHER) WAS RAISED PENTECOSTAL SO ESTELLA WAS KNOWLEDGEABLE OF THE PENTECOSTAL EXPERIENCE. ERVIN AND ESTELLA TOOK BILLIE AND CLOETTA AND BEGAN HELPING TO ESTABLISH THE NEW ASSEMBLIES OF GOD CONGREGATION LOCATED DOWN THE HILL FROM THEIR HOUSE ON A CREEK BANK. ERVIN SERVED AS SONG SERVICE, SUNDAY SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT AND IN ANY OTHER CAPACITY NEEDED. IN 1944, ERVIN AND ESTELLA MOVED TO McGREGOR, TEXAS WHERE ERVIN WORKED IN THE BLUE BONNET ACRES BOMB FACTORY. THEY ATTENDED FAITHFULLY THE LOCAL COMMUNITY CHURCH AND HELPED IN THE MINISTRY. THE 1945 McGREGOR TONADO DESTROYED THE "CARDBOARD" CITY; THEREFORE, SHORTLY THEREAFTER THE BAGWELLS FOUND THEMSELVES HEADED NORTHWARD TO COGER, OK[.] (CADDO COUNTY). ERVIN WAS GOING TO BEGIN HIS FIRST PASTORATE AT THE SCOTT ASSEMBLIES OF GOD CHURCH WHERE HE BECAME A LICENSED MINISTER. WHILE AT COGER, ERVIN AND ESTELLA'S PRETTY BLONDE-HEADED GIRL, CLOETTA, PASSED AWAY. CLOETTA WAS A SPECIAL CHILD. SHE HAD A FAVORITE SONG: "JESUS, YOU ARE MY SAVIOR" AND AT A VERY YOUNG AGE WENT TO SEE HER "SAVIOR". SHE HAD A SPINAL DEFECT INFLICTED UPON HER AT BIRTH AND AT THE YOUNG AGE OF TEN, ON AUGUST 8, 1946, SHE WENT TO HER HEAVENLY HOME. SHE WAS A RESIDENT IN A CHILDREN'S HOME IN ABILENE, TEXAS. ERVIN AND ESTELLA KEPT HER AT HOME WITH THEM AS LONG AS POSSIBLE BUT THERE CAME A TIME WHEN THEY WERE UNABLE TO CARE FOR HER. IT WAS ONLY AT THAT TIME THAT SHE WENT TO THE HOME. THIS WAS A HEART BREAK FOR THEM. FROM COGER, OK[.] THE BAGWELL'S MOVED TO APACHE, OK[.] WHERE, WHILE BEING THE PASTORS, ESTELLA'S FIRST DAUGHTER, BILLIE LOUISE, GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL. SHE HAD MOVED FROM PLACE TO PLACE BUT MANAGED TO BE A GOOD STUDENT AND GRADUATED IN 1949 FROM APACHE HIGH SCHOOL. SHORTLY, AFTER BILLIE'S GRADUATION, ERVIN['S] AND ESTELLA'S MINISTRY TOOK A BIG STEP TOWARDS McCLAIN COUNTY, OKLAHOMA. PURCELL HAD NO ASSEMBLIES OF GOD CHURCH SO THEY FELT THE DESIRE TO PIONEER THE FIRST CHURCH THERE. FROM ONLY THREE (THEIR FAMILY) THERE WAS ESTABLISHED ON THE CORNER OF SECOND AND COMANCHE STREETS A MONUMENTAL CHURCH THAT STILL REMAINS IN USE TODAY. THE PURCELL ASSEMBLIES OF GOD CHURCH HAS QUITE A COLORFUL HISTORY. ITS BEGINNING WAS A UNITED EFFORT OF REV. VIRGIL CLAXTON; A MINISTER FROM NORMAN, OKLAHOMA, THE CONGREGATION FROM REV. CLAXTON'S CHURCH, ESTELLA AND ERVIN BAGWELL AND BILLIE LOUISE BAGWELL. THE FIRST SERVICES WERE HELD IN A TENT ACROSS THE STREET AND ON THE CORNER FROM WHERE THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH/PARSONAGE WAS TO BE ERECTED. ERVIN WAS PASTOR IN PURCELL FOR FIVE YEARS. DURING THOSE YEARS, ON AUGUST 24, 1950 IN CARTER COUNTY (ARDMORE), BILLIE LOUISE WAS MARRIED TO RUAL WAYNE BOBINS OF PONTOTOC COUNTY, OKLAHOMA. REV. LESLIE MOORE, PASTOR OF THE LIGHTHOUSE ASSEMBLIES OF GOD CHURCH IN ARDMORE, PERFORMED THE WEDDING IN THE LIVING ROOM OF THE PARSONAGE. BILLIE HAD BEEN ON THE EVANGELISTIC FIELD WITH COWORKERS FOR A FEW YEARS (SHE WAS A LICENSED MINISTER WITH THE ASSEMBLIES OF GOD) WHEN SHE MET RUAL IN ONE OF THEIR MEETINGS. FROM THAT UNION WERE BORN LINDA LOUISE ROBINS ON NOVEMBER 9, 1951; VIARETTA DARLENE ROBINS ON NOVEMBER 27, 1956; AND LARRY WAYNE ROBINS ON SEPTEMBER 10, 1959 ALL IN CLEVELAND COUNTY, OKLAHOMA (NORMAN). A POINT OF INTEREST: UPON MOVING THE PURCELL ASSEMBLIES OF GOD CHURCH TO A NEWER AND LARGER LOCATION THE FIRST BUILDING WAS PURCHASED BY THE PENTECOSTAL CHURCHES OF GOD (PCOG) WHERE THE PCOG CONGREGATION REMAINED UNTIL 1992. WHEN THE PCOG CONGREGATION PURCHASED LAND AND BUILT A NEWER AND LARGER BUILDING THE OLD BUILDING AT SECOND AND COMANCHE WAS GIVEN (NO MONIES EXCHANGED) TO A LOCAL MEXICAN MINISTER TO PIONEER A MEXICAN-AMERICAN WORK. HOW IRONIC THAT THAT MINISTER (UNKNOWINGLY TO THE PCOG CONGREGATION) HAD BEEN VIARETTA ROBINS KEITH'S PASTOR FOR 10 YEARS IN OKLAHOMA CITY DURING HER LATER TEENAGER YEARS AND EARLY TWENTIES AND HAD PERFORMED HER WEDDING TO STEPHEN RAY KEITH IN GREENE COUNTY, MISSOURI (SPRINGFIELD) AND DEDICATED ALL THREE OF HER CHILDREN: SEAN WESLEY KEITH BORN SEPTEMBER 5, 1983 IN CARTER COUNTY, OKLAHOMA (ARDMORE); ANDREA LYNNE KEITH BORN NOVEMBER 7, 1987 IN CLEVELAND COUNTY, OKLAHOMA (NORMAN); AND AMELIA LENE' KEITH BORN NOVEMBER 18, 1988 IN CLEVELAND COUNTY, OKLAHOMA (NORMAN). HE WAS CONSIDERED "PART OF THE FAMILY" AND NOW TAKING OVER THE BUILDING WHERE ERVIN AND ESTELLA [MY GRANDPARENTS] BEGAN A WORK IN 1948. HOW OUR LIVES WEAVE A WEB THROUGH THE YEARS!!! IN 1953 ERVIN AND ESTELLA LEFT PURCELL TO MOVE TO THE BIG TOWN, OKLAHOMA CITY. THEY WERE ELECTED TO BE MINISTERS OF MIDWAY ASSEMBLIES OF GOD CHURCH IN DOWNTOWN OKLAHOMA CITY. UPON RELOCATING FROM SOUTH HARVEY TO SOUTH WALKER, THE CONGREGATION FLOURISHED AND IN 1964 RELOCATED TO 3612 SOUTH OLIE. THEY PASTORED THIS CONGREGATION IN OKLAHOMA CITY FOR A TOTAL OF 27 YEARS. UPON RETIREMENT IN AUGUST, 1983 (JUST A MONTH BEFORE THEIR FIRST GREAT-GRANDSON, SEAN WESLEY KEITH WAS BORN TO VIARETTA DARLENE ROBINS KEITH) THEY CONTINUED TO MINISTER UPON INVITATION IN VARIOUS CHURCHES. ERVIN WAS NOT A "GIVER-UPPER" AND MINISTERED UNTIL HIS DEATH IN DECEMBER, 1984. FROM THE BAGWELL'S MINISTRY WERE PRODUCED SEVERAL MISSIONARIES, MINISTERS, PASTORS AND MANY, MANY LAYMEN WHO CONTINUE IN OTHER CONGREGATIONS ACROSS THE WORLD. IT CAN BE WELL SAID THAT ERVIN AND ESTELLA BAGWELL'S MINISTRY WAS VERY PRODUCTIVE AND SUCCESSFUL. THEIR MINISTRY WAS INDEED A FULFILLMENT TO THE GREAT COMMISSION CHRIST GAVE THE CHURCH IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. ESTELLA'S EULOGY WAS A FINE DESCRIPTION OF HER LIFE. REV. FRANK CARGILL, PASTOR OF THE CAPITAL HILL ASSEMBLIES OF GOD CHURCH IN OKLAHOMA CITY, COMPARED HER LIFE TO DORCAS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. SHE SERVED OTHERS. SHE FOLLOWED ERVIN IN THE MINISTRY WHEREVER HE FELT LED. SHE MADE QUILTS, SEWED CLOTHES, COOKED MEALS, MADE PIES FOR SHUT-INS, ETC. AND GAVE OF HERSELF TO OTHERS. ESTELLA WAS NOT A "FANCY" WOMAN OF EARTHLY GOODS. SHE WAS PLAIN AND SIMPLE BUT GAVE EVERYTHING SHE HAD TO THE MINISTRY. SHE WAS NOT A SELFISH PERSON. SHE GAVE HER ALL, EVEN WHEN HEALTH WAS DETERIORATING AND ACHES AND PAINS WERE TAKING THEIR TOLL ON HER LIFE. MANY VOLUMES OF STORIES COULD BE WRITTEN OF ESTELLA'S EXPERIENCES IN THE MINISTRY AND THINGS THAT SHE DID OR SAID. ONLY ETERNITY WILL BE ABLE TO REVEAL ALL THAT SHE AND ERVIN DID AND ACCOMPLISHED WHILE ON THEIR EAR[TH]LY JOURNEY THROUGH LIFE.

SEE BELOW. ABRAHAM FANNIN AND HIS FAMILY EVIDENTLY MOVED TO ALABAMA RIGHT AFTER 1833 TO CLAIM LAND THAT HAD BEEN CEDED BY THE CREEK INDIAN NATION. THE POWER OF THE CREEK INDIANS HAD BEEN BROKEN AT THE BATTLE OF HORSESHOE BEND, FOUGHT MARCH 27, 1814, AT THE GREAT BEND IN THE TALLAPOOSA RIVER.

THE ALABAMA LEGISLATURE, ON JANUARY 11, 1827, EXTENDED STATE JURISDICTION OVER THE ALABAMA REGION CEDED BY THE CREEKS IN THE INDIAN SPRINGS TREATY AND FORBID HUNTING AND TRAPPING THEREIN BY THE INDIANS. IN THE 1832 TREATY THE CREEK INDIANS HAD AGREED TO MOVE TO INDIAN TERRITORY, AND THE REMOVAL ACTUALLY TOOK PLACE BETWEEN 1836 AND 1840. WITH THE EXTINGUISHMENT OF INDIAN TITLES, LANDS WERE MADE AVAILABLE TO THE INFLUX OF WHITE LAND-SEEKERS FROM NORTH AND SOUTH CAROLINA AND GEORGIA.
