| Note | From E.Eugene Gann, R 4, Box 273, Hamilton, AL 35570 (205) 921-5232 and Theresa Dunlap, Plainview, TX. From Galen Gann, 821 Reveille Rd, Fort Worth, TX 76108-4030. Information from marriage license. Bayless and Laura purchased the Gann place, about 2 miles south of Veal Creek Cem. They paid $30 cash plus a wagon and team plus a note for $280. Bayless was a farmer and blacksmith. His forge is still on the W. A. Gann place at the junction of Veal Creek and Cedar Creek. He raised horses and was an active member of the local school board. Records show he served the Harmony School (later Bee Branch) as a trustee in 1907. In 1909 Bayless purchased property on Duff Prairie and built a house (now known as the Jim Stone place on the county line between Stephens and Young). They soon sold this property and via a wagon and hack, the family journeyed to Louisiana for about 3 months. Earnest became extremely sick with a fever. B. P. sold every thing and put the family on a train and returned to Stephens Co. In 1911 in three covered wagons they traveled to Port Lavaca, TX. There they paid $500 down on some ground for farming. After a brief stay, they traveled to Tyler, TX, visited Laura's family there, and then returned to Veal Creek. The old home place was occupied by kinfolks, so B. P. And family lived in a half dugout in the canyon just south of Veal Creek cemetery. In late 1912, B. P. And family moved to Malvern, Arkansas. From Arkansas they journeyed to Florida via covered wagon, for a brief stay. They then returned to Tulip, Arkansas, sold out there and returned again to the Veal Creek community. They then rented a farm south of Ivan, Texas. In 1927 B. P. And Laura moved into Graham, TX. |
