"LAST CONFIDENCE"
All my life I have had a crazy desire to write the story of my life. Not that it very important, not that it would ever mean anything in any anybodies else life - but as I sit here hour by hour with nothing to do but think, there is some parts of my life that stand out so pregnant, that they almost burn my soul as I live them over and over again.
I was born March 11, 1944 to parents of modest means in a small country town in the middle of the west. My father was a druggist who native state was Tenn. My early remembrance of him was a jolly good-natured man who had many friends and provided well for his family. I can't remember him bothering too much with his children and occasionally he drank some. My mother a small dark haired lady with a droll in her talk was born in Dallas County Texas who had married my father and came to make her home in Indian Territory, in what is now the state of Oklahoma. There was two boys older than I was and two younger. I was the only girl in between. My first remembrance of home was a small cottage something like our two bedroom house of today as I remember there was a living room with a big fireplace at one end and a bed room up stairs for the boys and there was a big room off from the house a few feet we cook and ate in.
One of my dearest remembrances was the big house across the street where my grand parents live. There was beautiful flowers and shrubs a small acreage with all kinds of fruit and berry s. My grand father on my father side and my dear old grand mother I shall never forget her. I can't ever remember receiving a cross word from her. It was she who taught me how to sew. I was never allowed to sew on my mothers machine and although my grandmothers a much nicer machine and more expensive was at my disposal at anytime. It was there I made all my doll clothes she would crochet caps and booties to match their dresses. I to was soon crocheting and knitting. There was a big clear stream running through her grounds. I can remember she and I would take a pole and line and set under the shade of the big elm and willow trees and fish for perch. I can see them today after we would set still for what seam hours the speckle sun perch would come out and play around the rocks and sometime when we had what we called good luck we caught a blue channel catfish. These were certainly good eating. Was here in this small town I intered school, went to church and learned to do things other children in small communities do. My oldest Brother was in High school here when the first World War I broke out. . I remember yet how all the men gathered in front of my fathers store and talked of the war.
Then first one and then another of the neighbor boys began to volunteer and join the navy and army and the old Masonic Hall was turned into a Red Cross center where Bandages was made and the women knit socks and sweaters and younger women like my mother sewed and made outing pajamas for the boys over in France at this time I believe I was in the 8 grade I know other girls my age and I would care for the children while our mothers did this sort of work. Then one nite as I came in from play seated around the big fire place I found my family and grand parents in a very grave discussion. My older Brother Mit had decided to join the navy as he was now 19, the family was all against it as he had had a weak heart and they feared the strenuous training he would hafto go through would be to much for him and to they had plans ahead for him to study medicine and become a Dr. but he was so determined they finally consented he went to Oklahoma City with 4 other boys and was swarn in but couldn't pass his physical - being so determined he didn't come home instead went to Chicago, Ill. Where he joined the Navy Medical Corp. here he received his Basic Training and I shall never forget how he look when he come home in his uniform. We were so proud of him, he stood 6 ft tall and weighed 175 lbs. A perfect picture of health. I remember that furlough was two weeks of entertainment dinners and party s, he spoke at loges, Red Cross and Liberty Bond Drives. The high school glee club which I sing often went with him on these drives. I remember more my father brought a new car for the occasion for him to drive while he was at home. Those 2 weeks was so short and happy and before we knew it was time for him to return to the Great Lakes Naval training Station where he was made a first Class Pharmest mate on the USS Salem where he remained until peace was declared.
About this time many things was happening at home. My next older Brother had grow dissatisfied probably lonely and had suddenly run away from home tried to join some branch of service being to young had taken a job in a rug factory in Michigan where he worked for 2 years before we new where he was, I was now the oldest at home and had suddenly changed from the red headed freckled faced kid to a tall Slender auburn haired girl if not beautiful. I was very neat and attractive young girl - about this time a sad thing happened my grandfather almost suddenly went blind and as he was a descendent of Kentucky had always made his living breeding a raising fine horses. All this had to stop my grandmother to was getting feeble so it was decided they would all sell out and move to a near big city where my father took over a large drug store to have for my brother when he came home. This was a happy change for a while we had a lovely home was here I graduated from high school. Boy were coming home from the service. I met many fine young men. One especially as I remember now help was short and I spent a great deal of my time in the store. I always work on Saturdays and Sundays - it was on one such occasion that I seen a neat dark haired sailor coming across the street and intered the store. I think I knew at that moment that some how he would play a important part in my life, you can call it love at first sight if you want to. But there is some things in life we know with out being told.
That night my girl friend and I was setting in the show when some one tapped me on the shoulder and I knew with out looking around that it was the dark haired sailor. We soon became acquainted and he started back to school. This being my last year was a very happy one. There was many entertainments, ball games and dances in which we both took part. I graduated in June. It seamed my family all way had plans made for their children. Maybe all parents do. But mine were to go to college in a small city near by and become one of the local teachers. But I was madly in love so my college career ended in my returning home and getting married.
Then the after war depression hit in the U.S.. My oldest Brother who happily married to a beautiful young girl was forced to leave my father business and find work else where because there wasn't enough for all of us to live on my father had lost heavy in the depression and was forced to close one store entirety. My brother went to a near by city took a position he and his wife made there. The one morning we got word that he had died suddenly with a heart attack. This was a terrible shock although we knew he had had this weakness all his life, we had never faced the stark reality that some day it would take his life. His body was shipped home on the 8 day of December, and one of the largest funeral that was ever held in the small town. I will remember that day it was a cold December day with the sun shining as if through a vale as our little town didn't have a undertaking parlor. The body was brought home placed in the living room where many friend gathered in to pay their last tribute I shall always remember as we stood by my father seemed like a bent old man. Only my mother seamed to have the strength to carry on. At the time she was the only Christian of the family and I know often in times like this she prayed and seemed to receive subdued strength that the rest of the family didn't have. My brother was a member of the Masonic Lodge so they took charge of the body and all the funeral arrangements which was held at the Baptist Church where my mother was a member.
My younger brother Bill came home the night after the funeral but to late to see him. My family never quite got over this shock. My father seemed more restless so he sold out here and moved to small town in the middle western part of the state and took a position in a drug store taking my grand parents with him who was very old and helpless - here they both passed away. My to younger Brothers now in High School and turning in to fine young men. My husband and I was very happy. He owned 200 acre farm in a very good part of the state so it was here we lived and had build a beautiful home. It was here our first daughter Wanda was born I shall never forget the cold January nite Snow and Ice had covered the ground and trees as I stood in the cosy kitchen looking at this glistening world out side I thought this is first the sort of night thing like this would happen and sure enough before morning we were the proud parents of our first Baby, a little black headed baby girl. I shall never forget when the Dr and nurse brought the baby into my bed room placed it in my arms I look up at Zeno my husband who was standing at the head of my bed - his eye all glistening and he reached down and give my hand a Squeeze. It seemed we had every thing a world of complete happiness. That was one of the happiest years of our life. The baby grew. We didn't have a lot of money. No one did in those days. I wants was very simple to the farm gave us a good living we were prominent people in our small community no one else as young as we were had a more beautiful home. It was here my husband and I found Christ and became members of the little Baptist Church in the community and resolved to raise our child in the way god would have us to the best of our ability. She was a lovely child with big blue eyes and at the of 1 year her hair had changed to almost Brown Curls all over her head - her soft white complexion with a big smile for every one made her a very popular baby. When Wanda was 2 year old I found there was to be a second baby. We were very proud and had hopes this would be the Son my husband had long for do long - but the third of march found us the parents of a second baby girl. This I think my husband first disappointment in our marriage, but he was quick to hide it, and as she was such a dear little thing so completely different from the first one. She had lovely big brown eyes and very dark hair and complexion that was first dark enough and would some day have a few freckles sprayed across her nose. He never held a grudge against her on the other hand he was very fond of her from the beginning always calling her his Boy - we named her Jo Ann and she soon became the Community over as Zeno's boy and some how she must have thought she had to live up to that name for by the time she was to year old she was as large as Wanda and could always do anything - I had a terrible time at birth of Jo Ann and was forced to stay in bed for 6 weeks was almost a year before I began to feel my old self again. It was then we decided to build a new larger home which was completed the year my oldest daughter started to school. She was very popular youngster and loved all her classmates. As I remember now we had got the children a big thoroughbred Colly dog who watched them like a guard no one would dare pick one of them up when she was near. What a terrible time the teacher had when Wanda went to school alone Collie always followed her. But if other children come by for her Collie made no attempt to follow. Their pets also consist of a large black Cat who went every where with them. I remember when busy from work I would look to see where the children were I could always see Wanda holding Jo Ann hand going about the place with Collie and Kitty Tom by there side, those were care free happy days for all of us. But the depression grew worse with the years and the Farmers were hit very hard. It was then in order to hold prices up the president and government began destroys crops and stock and of course the farmers we paid for them but people every where were starving and soup lines were in every town. It was at this time I was very thankful my husband had not gone in for raising stock for I don't believe I could have stood to see ours shot down. Although stock was starving to death everywhere. It was about this time our 3rd and last child was born a dear little girl very delicate from the beginning only weighed 6 # at birth because the physician was very uneasy about me at this time I was taken to a near by City Hospital but under the guidance of god Dr. we both came through fine. People every where was loosing their homes. It was at this time my husband grew discouraged with the farm it seemed we had one drought after another and price very low so he decided to quit the farm and rent it for a while. I remember how blue the girls and I were the only home they had ever known. How many nights I cried on my pillow when the rest of the family was all asleep - our home was lovely but my husband only response was we can't live of a beautiful home (or can we) well maybe the income from the farm and we could get into something else, as my husband had not been reared on a farm I felt that for several years he had grown tired of it and was wanting to go back to the city or some how I sense a restlessness in which he didn't usually show on the outside, so in the fall we rented out the dear old farm and brought a small grocery store in our community. I shall never for get how I hated to move for weeks it seemed I didn't taste my food but I made up my mind I still had lots to be thankful for and began trying to see the brighter side of life my 2 older girls was then 10 and 12 years old and doing excellent school work both studying piano and our little girl a darling with a bundle of curls and soon became the pride of our community. But began our siege of moving that seems will never end and the boy my husband long for never came 2 years we spent in the grocery business. My husband became very restless here so we soon sold out I think he had fever for the golden west. About this time my father who had been ill for years passed away.

11-1056. LOYD ALVIN BOATRIGHT (JOHN FRANK11, WILLIAM MILTON10, WILLIAM FRANKLIN9, WILLIAM H.8, JAMES G.7, DANIEL6, WILLIAM5, JOHN4, JOHN3, JOHN2, Not Yet Determined1) was born 15 Jan 1915 in Mill Creek, Johnston County, Oklahoma, and died 11 Jan 2004 in St. Peters, Saint Charles County, Missouri. He married DOROTHY JANE SWANSTROM 10 May 1946 in Duluth, St. Louis County, Minnesota, daughter of ELMER SWANSTROM and SIGNE GRYTDAHL. She was born 10 Jul 1920 in Duluth, St. Louis County, Minnesota, and died 25 Jan 1983 in Norman, Cleveland County, Oklahoma.
Notes for LOYD ALVIN BOATRIGHT:
Loyd didn't have a birth certificate. A delayed certificate was filed in Oklahoma City 27 Aug 1946. This information was based on original records of the Boatright children' birth dates maintained by his mother (Blanche Louisa). This certificate was witnessed by William Houston Boatright's wife Nancy J. Boatright.
The problem Loyd faced was that he applied for a social security number that was issued 3 Dec 1936 and gave a birth date of 15 Jan 1916 by mistake. All his subsequent military records used the 15 Jan 1916 date. He (Loyd) found it easier to live with this incorrect date for Social Security and Medicare rather that to try to change the date to 1915 in the system. As a result all his official data list 15 Jan 1916 as his birth date.
Loyd's two nicknames:
Loyd was called Totchie when he was young. He was small for his age and so he was nicknamed Totchie. Later when he and his friends were playing a lot of sandlot baseball he had to change his name again. There were two boys on the team named Loyd, he and another friend. The group decided one had to change his name to eliminate the confusion. They flipped for it and Loyd Boatright lost. They changed his name to Bill. When old relatives and friends would come by the house in Loyd's later years many still called him Bill. If you read Fannie (Boatright) Colbert's story you will see she refers to Loyd as Bill.
