HURT NOTES Hildreth Johnson, Editor Helen Jenkins, Chief Reporter Box 753 NEWSLETTER - NO.18 - DEC. 1966 607 South Randolph Street St. Joseph, Illinois 61873 Champaign, Illinois 61820 ******************************************************************************** Once again it's almost Christmas! I suppose all of you are busy with Christmas preparations-- shopping, addressing cards, wrapping packages, decorating the house, putting up the tree, making cookies, candy and fruit cake. It's a lovely, enjoyable season, but I sometimes think we get so involved with all the hectic tasks that we forget about the true meaning of Christmas. We, and all the Newsletter staff, wish the best of all things for all of you during the coming holidays and for the new year of 1967. And thank you for your loyal support and cooperation of our Newsletter and genealogy research. ********************************* CHRISTMAS TIME IS ...... by Alice Kennelly Roberts Christmas time's for dreaming thoughts of long ago..... Holidays of childhood, memories all aglow. Christmas time's for music, carols and angel choirs..... Hymns from snow-capped steeples, glowing ember's fires. Christmas time's for loving friends and kindred, too..... All the weak and friendless, all the tried and true. Christmas time's for praying, that our hearts may see Over stars and candles...... to eternity! ------WEDDING BELLS The Methodist Church, Allerton, Illinois, was the setting for the marriage Nov. 5 of Miss Nancy Jane Hurt, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eli H. Hurt, Allerton and Royce L. Adamson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wayne W. Adamson, Newman, Illinois. The Rev. Henry P. Farrington performed the double ring ceremony.

The new Mrs. Adamson, a graduate of ABU High School will be graduated from Elkhart University in December. Mr. Adamson was graduated from Newman High School, and is now serving with the U.S. Army.

They have three children: Mrs. Edward Hammonds, Paint Lick, Kentucky, Mrs. Luther Wrenn, Franklin, Indiana, and Mrs. Edwin Sutton, Crab Orchard, Kentucky.

Linda and Danny live in Carbondale where Danny attends Southern Illinois University. ********************************** NEWS An interesting letter arrived in October from Bill Hurt, Hackettstown, New Jersey, with a newspaper clipping enclosed. Bill was chosen to be in the academic procession at East Orange, New Jersey for the inauguration of Dr. Carl Fjellman as the fifth president of Upsala College. Bill was presenting his alma mater, Eastern Illinois University, Charleston, Illinois. Delegates from more than 300 colleges, universities and learned societies were present for the impressive ceremonies in Viking Memorial Hall on the East Orange Campus. Bill is now employed as a technical writer at Picatiney Arsenal. Page 2 HurtNews02 Bill sent his regrets at not being able to attend the 1966 Hurt Reunion, but says they hope to make it next year. He mentioned that he and his family plan to attend the Montreal World's Fair sometime next year, also. (Don't forget to send us a write-up on your trip for the Newsletter, Bill) I also want to quote the following paragraph from Bill's letter: "Could we have more 'I Remember Grandma (Grandpa)' features in the Newsletter? Since so many of us didn't know them, even the littlest remembrances from others are enjoyable--How about their interest, hobbies, etc.?" Go, please, if any of you other cousins remember anything about our grandma or grandpa Hurt, won't you send your stories, etc. to us for publication? ************************************* All of you who are descendants of Nancy Jane Bryant Hurt will be glad to know that her tombstone has finally been ordered. In October, your editor and Chief Reporter made a trip to Casey, Illinois to Markwell's Monument Co. They gave us a discount, and we think we got a nice monument for $72.80. Of course, we didn't have quite that much money in our fund, but we bought the stone anyway, on the assumption that we would be selling more Bryant books. Have you bought yours? They are $1.00 each, available from your editor. ********************************** . GOOD NEWS ON THE GENEALOGY FRONT Arriving home from work one evening, I found a note stuck in my front door from Dorothy Bryant, Kirksville, Missouri. She and her husband, Myron, had been visiting his sister, Kathleen, in Lafayette, Indiana, and she had shown them a clipping from an Indianapolis newspaper, where I had requested information on descendants of Alex and Margaret Bryant. (Alex was grandma Hurt's brother.) Dorothy said Myron was their grandson. She left me her address, and I immediately wrote to her. We have been corresponding, and she has been most helpful in getting the information we needed on Alex Bryant's family. We hope to publish a supplement to the Bryant book one of these days, as soon as we can compile more data. ********************************** This time of year brings reports of lots of colds, flu, and other illnesses. We hope the Holidays find all of you in good health. Even your "healthy, strong-constitutioned" succumbed to an old virus around Thanksgiving time, and was laid low for two weeks. That's one reason this Newsletter is a little later than usual. Ray Jenkins, Champaign, Illinois, got a recess from school for a week, while he fought a battle with strep throat. Ronald Johnson, Philo, Illinois, has been walking around on crutches. On Nov. 17th, he injured his ankle while playing basketball. He has traded the crutches for a cane, but is still limping. He regrets not being able to play basketball for his company team--American Bleacher Company, but they have made him official scorekeeper, so he still feels useful. His bowling team missed him, too. (or so he would like to think.) (Just kidding, Ron. We know you are a good bowler.) A phone call on Thanksgiving Day from Bakersfield, California informed us that Jerry Johnson could not enjoy Thanksgiving turkey as he was on a soup diet--being laid up with tonsillitis. A bad throat was also curtailing his singing activities. ********************************** Page 3 HurtNews02 IN MEMORIAM SAMUEL JACKSON HURT Samuel Jackson Hurt, age 96 years, 3 months, 15 days, passed away Tuesday, November 1, 1966, at 9:30 A.M. at the home of a nephew, W.K. Hurt, Paint Lick, Ky. Sam was the oldest son of the late Joshua and Lucinda Wray Hurt. He was born on July 16, 1870, farther down Back Creek from where he died. He spent all his life in Garrard County. He was first married in 1914 to Vina Ross. They had one child, Janie Berniece, who died at the age of 3 months. His first wife died in 1919. He was later married to Mary Wooten, who passed away in October, 1957. He was the oldest member of the Fairview Christian Church. He was a member for many years of Lodge No. 104, F & AM. Also a member of Franklin Lodge No. 7 IOOF. He was awarded a 50 year pin from IOOF in October, 1960. Sam is survived by a sister Mrs. Sallie Bowling, Hamilton, Ohio, and the following nieces and nephews: Mrs. Shelburn , Somerset, Ky.; Mrs. Billie Carter, Nicholasville, Ky.; Mrs. Elmer Lawson, Pleasure Ridge Park, Ky.; Mrs. Lucille Ross, Ohio; Mrs. Lura Mae McKinney and Mrs. Morgan Short, Hamilton, Ohio; Mrs. David Stewart, Lexington, Ky., and Mrs. Alva Daily of Indianapolis, Indiana; W. K. Hurt & Clarence Hurt of Garrard Co., Ky.; Henry T. Hurt, Jr., Lancaster, Ky., and George B. VanHuss, Shelbyville, Ky. Also several step-children. Services were conducted at 2:30 P.M. on Nov. 3 at the Clark and Layton Funeral Home in Lancaster, by the Rev. Geran Dodson, Pastor of the Fairview Christian Church. Burial was in the Manse Cemetery near Paint Lick. Pallbearers were the following nephews and step-sons: W. K. Hurt, Clarence Hurt, Henry T. Hurt, Jr., Shelburn Adams, Charley Wooten , and Herbert Sowder. (We are all deeply grieved by the loss of Cousin Sam. His passing has left a void in our hearts that cannot be filled. Sam was a wonderful person, and we owe most of our Hurt family information to him. Without his help, we could never have accomplished so much.) ********************** Sam really loved all his kinfolk, and he enjoyed our Newsletter so much. He told us once that he wished he could get a Newsletter every week. So this page of our Christmas Newsletter is our loving tribute to Samuel Jackson Hurt. ********************* "We cannot say - and we will not say That he is dead - he is just away - With a cheery smile and wave of the hand, He has wandered into an unknown land. Think of him still as the same, we say - He is not dead - he is just away." ********* "We know not where His islands lift their fronded palms in air; we only know we cannot drift beyond His love and care."

HURT NOTES NEWSLETTER - NO.24 - Compiled in 1965 Hildreth Johnson, Editor Helen Jenkins, Chief Reporter Box 753 1308 West University Avenue St. Joseph, Illinois Urbana, Illinois ******************************************************************************** Children of Eli Mitchell and Nancy Jane Bryant Hurt: 1. Ida Mae Hurt 2. Andrew Noble Hurt 3. Huldah Allen Hurt 4. Charles Elmer Hurt 5. Ozworth Hurt 6. Jesse Eli Hurt 7. Benjamin Harrison Hurt 8. Alva J. Hurt 9. Luther Martin Hurt All of the above children were born in Cumberland Co., Ill. Eli Hurt purchased a 12-acre farm in Crooked Creek Township, Cumberland Co., Ill. And built a house for his family. Somehow, they eeked out a living from the 12 acres. The sons worked as farm hands in their younger days, and most of them farmed all their lives, acquiring their own farms. Ida Mae Hurt died when only 31 years of age. Andrew Noble Hurt (Uncle “Andy”), Huldah Allen Hurt (Uncle “Huldy”), Ozworth Hurt (Uncle “Pod”), and Jesse Eli Hurt (Uncle “Jess”)- all owned farms in Crooked Creek Township, within a few miles of each other. Charles Elmer Hurt (Uncle “Tell”) owns and resides on a farm near Martinsville, Clark Co., Ill. Benjamin Harrison Hurt (Uncle “Ben”) lived in Allerton, Vermillion Co., Ill., and was employed as a section foreman for the railroad. Alva J. Hurt, my father, was nicknamed “Lyle” and “Lal”. He lived on the old home place for a number of years, farming the 12 acres, plus additional rented ground. Alva J. was also carpenter, and during the depression of the 1930's, he gave up farming and took up carpentering. He purchased a 5-acre plot in Crooked Creek Township, close to his brothers, and built his own house. He was employed at a shoe factory in Casey, Ill. until he reached retirement age. He was an avid fisherman, and in his later years, really pursued his hobby. Luther Martin Hurt (Uncle “Lule”), the youngest son, didn’t care much for farming. He preferred trains and automobiles to horses. He worked at several different jobs, including railroad, fireman, railroad shop laborer, and auto mechanic. He finally established his own business, dealing in auto parts. He moved Page 5 HurtNews02 around more than the other children--living at various times in Mattoon, Ill., Toledo, Ill., Greenup, Ill., Casey, Ill., Allerton, Ill., Martinsville, Ill., and Terre Haute, In. For a number of years now, he has lived in his own home in Marshall, Clark Co., Ill. Further details of these children will be found on the following pages.
