John Wesley Pruitt;

husband died.
1936 fall- Beaulah's step-mother, Bertha, died in Mexico and her 3
children went to Beaulah who still had her own 3 girls ages 16, 14, 12 at
home. Beaulah said: "August was 7, Harry was 12, Clara was 10 when
their mother died. Took care of August till he was 21-and he got
married-- and Harry till he went in service."

Carol Minson asked Beaulah on phone May 17, 1984, if she had a family
Bible. She said her Dad's was destroyed by a stepfather-Stepmother's
new husband-- burned all of her Dad's things. "After Daddy died, my
Stepmother, Bertha Hoover remarried and her husband took all of Daddy's
pictures out and he burned them all up. Harry Jr. (about 5 yrs old)
a'crying." Judging from Beaulah's voice, this was a very difficult event
in her life. Beaulah was 28 when her Dad died. Her stepmother, Bertha,
remarried Roy Crow.

Conversation with Beaulah May 17, 1984:
C: "The porch picture?"
B--"that was Carl Hague and his 3rd or 4th wife. She had 3 girls and a
boy. Those girls were hers. The place belonged to her. The boy died at
17."
C:"Were you ever in that house? B: "Yes"
C: "Windows had glass?" B: "Yes"
C: But, your gfather, Carl Hague did not build that house.?"
B: "NO!"
C: And Clara Bell didn't live there before she died.
B: "NO!"
C: "He was tall? 6' 3"?
B: "Yes. Uncle Orvies son Bill was 6'7" and Uncle Orrie (George Ora) was
tall, but Uncle Orvie was tallest."
C: "Wonder what she (Clara Belle Pruitt Hague) died of?"
B: "Well I always thought childbirth. Daddy never talked much about his
mother."
C:"She had twins that died at birth. Did you know?" B: "No."
C: "Why did they go to MO before she died?"
Beaulah didn't think she died in Mo. "She was buried in Tulsa. I heard my
Dad say that they moved the cemetery where she was buried when they
built the new one; and when they took her body up--her long hair lying on
her face...didn't have embalming then..."
C: "Why did they settle at Warner?"
She thought they settled at Eufaula, that's where her Dad and Mother
met. "They moved around a lot. They were farmers. Cattle, Hogs (no
wheat) batch (patch?) of cotton, batch of corn."
C: "Did they live any other place besides Warner?"
B: "Grandpa lived here and there. Come and stay with the boys. Moved
around when he wasn't md." She can remember him well---she was 7 or
8. "He had a moustache--not a full beard."
Beaulah identified the picture of Uncle Chan. (CHANCY and WALTER
HAGUE were CARL HAGUE'S younger brothers from Sterling Colorado.)
Beaulah went on: "Walt and Chan were there---lived there. Chan was
there more than Walt. Chan lived with my Dad when he died (1929), then
he went back to Colorado. Walt and Chan batched together and farmed
together for a year or so."
"Chan was tall, Uncle Walter was shorter. Chan had one arm off --it got
in a machine in Colorado. Chan was real jolly and pleasant."
BEAULAH SAID HER MOTHER WAS CHOCTAW INDIAN. "And Carl had an
Indian wife."
She knew the Bowlins. " Was with them till----We bought the place after
Aunt Sally died. She died before Carl Hague. Early was with us a lot.
JM her son was with us a lot." Jake Bowlin died when Beaulah was a
child. "Uncle Jake had 1 leg off. All are buried at Mounds."
SALLY HAGUE BOWLIN was CARL AND CHAN's younger sister...and SALLY's
younger sister. CORNELIA, was Carol Minson's g grandmother.)

Letter excerpt from Beaulah May 24, 1984:
"I have cousins in Tulsa on my mother's side, Ray Turnbow, a Doctor has
a Clinic--Robert he is foot Doctor. I did visit their mother and father
when they were living close to Oral Roberts but they have been gone
several years."

1983 Dec 27 last phone conversation with Beaulah:
C: "1910-- where did you live in 1910?"
B: "7 miles east of Drumright on a farm. Uncle Chan farmed there 2
years."
C: "When you raised your 1/2 brothers and sister, did you have any help,
any support from anybody?"
B: "Nope. No.
C: "How did you do it?"
B: "We just Did."
C: "About what year was the picture of Carl Hague taken on the porch of
the house with the woman & 3 girls and a boy?"
B: "Before we moved to Warner. I was just 7 or 8 years old."
C: "Can you tell me where James Carl Hague lived when you knew him?"
B: "Just a widower most of time. Stayed with the boys. He md this
lady--I was just a little thing--about 8 years old."
