    Notes:

    My grandfather, Brady Horton, was one of the sweetest, kindest, warmest, and most helpful people you could ever hope to meet. My grandparents visited us frequently when we lived in Tulsa, and Granddad never failed to perform some useful task, such as planting shrubs, repairing or maintaining appliances, or working on our cars. They also traveled a good bit around Texas, visiting other relatives. My grandmother was into decorative crafts and she always wanted to stop at little 5 & 10 cent stores and hobby shops to browse. He had no interest in that shopping himself, but he always stopped and waited patiently.

    He was a little shy and reserved, but really was very engaging around people he knew, and could step up and speak out if necessary. He also could have a lot of fun telling and sharing stories, and was more than happy to get down on the ground to play with children, including his great-grandchildren, who affectionately called him Poppa Brady.

    Grandmother was more book-smart and outspoken, and was the dominant spouse in many respects, but he could take charge when needed, and could be eloquent when it was time to give someone a Biblical lesson.

    He was celebrated for his peanut brittle, which he and grandmother made together. He was particular about his peanuts and how he cooked them. He poured each batch onto a tilted marble slab, whereupon he and grandmother gently stretched the hot batter so that the candy was thin and distinctly brittle. They distributed pounds of it to family and friends, and it was a very popular item at church and school sales. He gave all of the proceeds to a local Christian academy.

    He was also renowned for his good deeds, such as visiting the sick, mowing the lawns of people who couldn't do it themselves, and collecting papers for the church paper drives. In retirement, he was know to remark that he might have to go back to work to get some rest. In fact, at age 92, he had just driven home from visiting someone in the hospital when his aorta fatally burst before he got out of the car.

    I treasure memories of him; they motivate me when patience or good deeds are called for.

    He and Ida had been out visiting friends in the hospital, and when they got home, she got out of the car first, unlocked the door, and went inside, as usual. After Brady didn't come in for a few minutes, she went out to the car and found him slumped in the driver's seat.

    Notes:

    My grandmother, Ida Hazlet Horton, was a remarkable woman on several counts. I came to know my grandparents well during my time in Dallas - primarily while I was in college and graduate school. They were both conscientious, attentive, and loving - salt of the earth people.

    Grandmother was a prototypical mid-20th-century housewife, but also a craftsperson and a - what? - an elocutionist, I suppose. First, the crafts. She seemed always to have projects going - traditional sewing, of course, plus sachet balls, christmas stockings, her marvelous decorated (fabric & baubles over styrofoam) balls and eggs, and even, at the end of her life, her Christmas card placemats. I remember a visit to her when she was 100 years old, and she dropped down onto her hands and knees, pulled a box out from under the bed, and placed it on top of the bed to show me the placemats she was working on.

    Young Ida and her sisters were evidently quite an attraction in rural Iowa in the first and second decades of the 20th century, before TV and radio, as they performed regularly at pageants and other events. Yes, they sang, but those were also the days of staged readings and short performances, and Ida was right in the middle of it. When she finished public school, she taught - as I understand it - elocution, and she practiced it all of her life. She knew more poetry and other short readings by heart than I probably ever read, and she was quick to recall and recite passages throughout her life.

    In the family, her most celebrated reading was "Esau Wood" which she recited faithfully at her 100th birthday party, and which my niece, Molly, recited to accolades at my mother's 80th birthday party. (I'll add it as a separate story.) She could also be extemporaneous. When she was in her 90's, my young nieces and I played a game of "Encore" with her. Encore which requires the participants to recall songs that fit some category, and to sing at least of few words from each song. It was only after the game that she admitted that she was making up some of the songs which we presumed had come from her youth.

    Yes, I realize that she was a stern & scornful mother, but as a grandmother (and as "Ida Momma" to her great-grandchildren), she was a blast.

    - Robin Richmond, Sept 2013

    Education:
    She and Brady met here. I don't believe that she graduated, but she did return to Colorado to teach - as she reported it - elocution, which makes perfect sense for her.

    Buried:
    GRid=97171884; dual in-ground plaque with husband Brady Horton; photo of elderly Ida; personal biographical sketch.

    Died:
    Age 101; after a very short illness. I'm don't think that she was ever admitted to a hospital, except when her children were born.

    • Residence: 1880, Fannin County, Texas, USA; Precinct 3; As "A Horton" (age 64), with new wife M.A.(46), daughter V.C.(16), and a servant named "Willey" (19). But I suspect that the servant was Azre's son Will, who was 21.

    Notes:

    1. His year and location of birth are unknown, and are reported inconsistently in the 5 censuses in which he appears
    2.His death date is unknown. His grandchildren said that he died in Fannin County, Texas, where he appeared in the 1880 census.

    Birth:
    His birth date and location and even his name inconsistently reported in U.S. Censuses, but that's about all we have. He was known to his grandchildren as "Ezra", but it is clear that his first name began with "A"; I have settled on "Azre"

    Died:
    Presumed before his wife Amanda's next marriage.
