J J J J J I I I I I Prologue Down on the Farm (1962) Claude, Texas, 1962 The year he and Ben Toy left Claude, Texas—1962—Thomas Berryman had been in the habit of wearing black cowboy boots with distinctive red stars on the ankles. He’d also been stuffing four twenty-dollar bills in each boot sole. By mid- July the money had begun to shred and smell like feet. One otherwise unpromising afternoon there’d been a shiny Coupe de Ville out on Ranch Road #5. It was metallic blue. Throwing sun spirals and stars off the bumpers. He and Ben Toy had watched its approach for six or eight miles of scruffy Panhandle desert. They were doing nothing. “Bored sick and dying fast on a fencerail,” Berryman had said earlier. Toy had only half-smiled. “You heard about that greaseball Raymond Cone? I suppose you did,” the conversation was going now. -

Newton C. Ewing
/ Journal of Clan Ewing 15 NEWTON C. EWING Source: Bill Ewing, Tyler, Texas. Dear Jim, You have mentioned several times that it is of interest to other Ewings, stories about the old days and history as related to our Ewings. I have been reluctant to pass on some personal family data since it relates to the Civil War and may offend some of my "Yankee Cousins" at this late date ... but having said that I will give you some information. [Editor's note: I am of the opinion that history is history and we were are not responsible for what happened a 100 or 200 years before our time. When information about a family is published in the journal, we never know how that information may help someone that is trying to locate their ancestors. Also, the more that I learn about the earlier generations, it makes me appreciate more what our ancestors went through to make this country what it is today and the freedoms that we enjoy.] My [Bill Ewing] great great great granddad was Newton Alfonzo Ewing son of Alexander, son of Nathaniel, son of Joshua (1704-1753). Nathaniel Ewing and wife, Rebecca Osborne, raised family in Statesville, North Carolina area. Alexander died in 1817 and wife, Sophia Crawford, took her family including Newton (19 years) to Henderson County, Tennessee in 1828. The next year after arriving there Newton married Nancy Lorant and they had four kids before moving to Rockport, Arkansas in 1837. He evidently received medical training during that period because he was shown to be an MD in oldest sons will later and referred to as Dr. -

The park was first created to hold the Centennial Exposition of 1897, a six-month event that brought nearly 2 million visitors to Nashville at a time when the city’s population was barely 100,000. It was the start of not only Nashville’s municipal park system, but public park systems across the state. Since then, Centennial Park has been a place where the people of our city gather and celebrate. The events held here throughout the years – large and small – have reflected the changing culture and values of our city. -

University Microfilms
INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding o f the dissertation.
