My Grandfather: My Grandfather Written by Joann Simmons Frye

The following information was contributed by (I believe) CURTY LEONABUCHANAN WHITE (first daughter of Anna E. Sheets daughter of JohnAnderson Sheets and Julia Bertha Stout.) "The first meeting of my grandfather and grandmother (John Andersonand Julia Bertha Stout Sheets) reflects thei rwarmth toward visitors.In this case a mishap which led to that first meeting actually createda sense of warmth growing out of human concern. In 1867, the Boatwright family of Potosi, Missouri disposed of theirfarm and mercantile business in order to move to Texas. Traveling withthe Boatwrights was Julia Bertha Stout, a young lady who was orphanedin infancy and made a ward of the Boatwright family. An interestingsidelight to me is that the Boatwrights were slave owners at one timeand permitted young Julia to play with the slave children on a freebasis.Young Julia was of French background or origin, probably hermother's family. The trip to Texas promised to be difficult for theBoatwrights. Roads were rough and so a carriage was bought for the useof grandmother Boatwright. The other members of the family rode inwagons drawn by teams. Several vehicles were in the family caravan as it traversed Missouri.Each night the family camped near a spring or stream. While traveling on a rough road near Paint Rock, a spot not far fromthe Anderson Sheets farm, the Boatwright carriage overturned andgrandmother Boatwright suffered a broken leg. After the accident, thecaravan moved a short distance to a spring, called Oxstock Spring.There theBoatwrights camped and waited until grandmother Boatwrights'sbroken bone healed. It was springtime and wild strawberries grew inprofusion at the site of the camp. During the enforced encampment, Julia was the family cook. She usedthe cold water of the spring to keep the beef in good shape. Bycarriage she made frequent trips to the Anderson Sheets' cabin to brewtea for Mrs.Boatwright. The casual meetings at the Sheets home between young John Sheets andJulia Stout were supplemented by other encounters. Wild strawberriesafforded opportunities for the two to be together on berry pickingexpeditions. In addition, there was a revival meeting where the Sheetsfamily, the Boatwright family and others were in nightly attendance.Julia, a young woman of sixteen years, developed a romantic interestin young John Anderson Sheets, aged eighteen. Of course, hereciprocated.The young couple claimed it was love at first sight. Theywere united in holy matrimony on July 4, 1867. When the Boatwrights were ready to resume their trip to Texas, theydid so tearfully. Their offer of a place in Texas to the new bride andgroom had been declined. Julia never saw the Boatwrights again. At thedeath of her foster parents, she inherited a share of the Boatwrightestate inTexas. The new bride and groom built their first home of logs, located near aspring on the Anderson Sheets' farm. There their first child, Anna,was born, May 27, 1868. Julia often spoke of their happiness in thatlittle cabin. She loved her in-laws, Anderson and Nancy Ann Sheets.Later on, however, John decided to rent land from Zemri Chilton, a manwhom the family knew and respected. The land lay near the spring wherethe Boatwrights once camped following the mishap to Mrs. Boatwright.John and Julia lived at this location until the death of ZemriChilton, a bachelor. In 1885 John moved with his family to land located on Carter Creek.His land was situated only a mile or so from the cabin in which he hadlived as a boy and while his father was at work in Van Buren. In 1885 John built a house on his farm to house a family nowconsisting of five children. A sixth child was born in 1886. OnDecember 24, 1889, a tornado almost destroyed the log house. Later, onanother site, a house was constructed of lumber. In 1897, this housewas destroyed by fire. After the fire, it was learned that the secondhouse was erroneously placed on a site that was not part of theSheets' farm. A third house was built, this time on Sheets property. There my grandfather, John Sheets, lived until 1901. The year 1901 was plagued by a terrible drought. Grandfather Sheetswas forced to look for work. He finally found a job at Bunyard'ssawmill, located south of Ellsinore, Missouri on Black River. In thelate summer of 1901 he moved his family to a house near his work. InOctober here turned to the farm to remove the feed that remained. InDecember he developed a chest cold, took pneumonia and died onChristmas day in 1901. At his request, his body was brought back tothe farm and laid to rest in a family plot, set aside as a cemetary. IN MEMORIAM In closing this part of the story, I want to pay deserved complimentsto my dear grandfather, John Anderson Sheets. He was a kindly man wholoved his Lord, his family, his neighbors and his friends.He was adaily reader of the Bible and attended church as regularly as his hardlife permitted. He was a member of the General Baptist Church andnamed the church he helped organize on Carter Creek, the Good HopeChurch. His interest was in the unsaved young. While plowing thefields, his mind was on their salvation. His prayers were answered andin later years some of these young people became active in his church.After his death his son, George Anderson Sheets was ordained as aminister and preached for many years in churches near where he lived." Note from D. Joann (nee Simmons) Frye: George Anderson Sheets wasmygrandfather!
