The following tidbits are excerpts from the Civil-War era journal kept by James Madison Hall. Hall was a step-son (and son-in-law) of Mahala Lee Sharp Hall nee Roberts. Mahala's son, Sam Sharp, married Mary Alexandrien (Nellie) Lemaire, a daughter of Elizabeth Lemaire Beale nee Waring -- the Mrs. Beale mentioned in the following journal excerpts (and my g-g-g-grandmother). The little woman is Margaret A. Hall Stewart nee Sharp -- Hall's wife as well as his step-sister. Margaret was a sister to Sam Sharp, and also Mahala's daughter. Nellie and Sam are my g-g-grandparents. Their daughter, Berta Mary Henry nee Sharp, raised my mother and her older brother in Milam County, Texas, following the death of their own mother only 3 days after giving birth to my mother.
[/i]. - - - 22 October 1862. Mrs. BEALE & Sam are still busy in packing up things to go up the Country. - - - 28 May 1863. To day we left Smith's and drove 30 miles arriving in the town of Liberty. We found Nellie's Mother [Mrs. BEALE] & Sister quite sick and confined to their beds. . . . - - - 5 July 1865. Today Mrs. BEALE came over (to Liberty) from Danville and remained with the little woman all night. . . . - - - 8 July 1865. Today I drove Mrs. BEALE up town (Liberty) and while there loaned her six dollars to purchase two pairs of shoes and one bottle of whiskey. She left sundry articles of furniture with us for safe keeping. She then left on the train for West Liberty in route for Danville. . . . - - - 16 Dec 1865. . . . At night Mrs. BEALE and her whole family with three servants and seven horses arrived from Montgomery County, and stopped with me, to be taken care of until she can arrange to go to housekeeping. . . . - - - 17 Dec 1865. . . . Mrs. BEALE & family are still here, the wagon & servants that came down with her left for their home in Montgomery County. Thus relieving me of 3 negroes & 6 mules to feed. . . . - - - 20 Dec 1865. . . . Mrs. BEALE & family moved over to her home at night. . . . - - - 31 Dec 1865. . . . Mrs. BEALE came over and spent the day. . . . Thus I close my notes for the month of December and for the year 1865 which has just passed and gone and now numbered with the things that were. Whether the almighty will spare me to record the daily events of things passing around me for the incoming year is more than mortal man can know but trusting his goodness and mercy I shall enter upon the pleasing task which to me is useful as a book of reference and may hereafter be profitable to those who have an interest in my affairs. The writer of the above lines, James Madison Hall, was not to see the eve of the year 1867. The following are excerpts from his writings for the year of our Lord 1866. - - - 8 Apr 1866. . . . The little woman spent the evening at Mrs. BEALE's and Lucy came home with her & spent the night. . . . - - - 16 Jul 1866. . . . I arrived home at 4 o'clock P.M. just in time to witness the death throes of my sweet little daughter Josephine Martha, who departed this life at 5 1/2 o'clock, and now reposes sweetly upon the bosom of her Savior. She died at the tender age of two years seven months and one day. . . . - - - 17 Jul 1866. . . . I performed the last sad rite for (Josephine's) little remains and had them interred in the burial ground at Liberty there to remain until her God shall call her again to meet him in the great day of accounts. My sweet little babe may she rest peacefully in the bosom of her God, and may this sad bereavement be for our future good. . . . - - - 19 Jul 1866. . . . Mrs. BEALE and Mrs. Buckley spent the day with the little woman. . . . - - - 24 Jul 1866. . . . The little woman purchased a nice little Italian marble monument to be placed over the grave of my sweet little babe Josephine. . . . [/ul] [/size][/quote] |
