Ohio Below is a letter
written by Emma Knatt, neice of Nancy Boyd Petty. I have The letter mentions Lisa (a man), Josie, Dave, Ott, Emmet. Who are these people? Does anyone have any Boyds by these names? I am thinking the dead woman in the letter must be Mary Ann Boyd Kilgore. There was a date on the letter but no address.
To: Nancy Boyd Petty, Brewster, Kansas "Dear Aunt, I will
try to answer your letter. Forgive me for not wrighting sooner but I have been so troubled and have had to much to do and have
been to uncertain to do anything. I have two houses to keep and I am not able
to keep one. Oh, Aunt, I am so lonesome I cry myself sick with the headache
but it is as you wrote. It does no good. I wish I could see you. We could
talk and cry together. It seems like you are next to Mother with me. I am
sorry your health is poor. How old are you? Mother would have been 66 on third
of Jan. She was hurt the 8 of Oct. and died on the 10. She had got dinner,
washed the dishes and started to town. The team scart just as they got
in town. The pool strap broke and the tung run in the ground, broke in
three pieces, threw the buggie up and clear over. Just as they went out, the
team come loose and run on. Them that saw it said mother turned clean over
and lit on her back and right sholder. He or Lisa didnt know, it was done so
quick. Lisa jumped up, asked her if she was hurt. She said she was hurt
bad - said her bowels was two high up and she couldnt move. They carried her
into Win Clines. Lisa sent a team for me. When they come Ott was in the field gathering corn. I had company. We rung the bell for him but I
didnt wait. Oh, Aunt, I never can be hurt so bad as I was when I got there. I
went in, kissed her and says, "Mother, are you bad hurt?" She says,
"Oh, yes, Emma, I am bad hurt, but I am prepared to go. How did you get here so
quick?" Lisa set holding her hand - the tears streaming down his
face. He can never be whiter. I asked him if he was hurt. He said no but he
wished it had been him. Mother says, "Oh, no, Lisa, you are young and I am
old. I couldnt have staid with you much longer any way." The doctor was
dressing her knee. They had set her sholder and she told me it hurt her so bad
when he set it. She had no feeling from her stomach down. Rub her and ask her
if she could feel it. She would say she didnt know we was touching her. She
was hurt between 2 and 3 o'clock. Ott come before night and Josie and Dave
got there a little after dark. I never saw Mother's mind so good. She
thought and talked of everything. Told Josie about getting a letter from you the
day before. She said she would have answered it that morning if she had had
time but she says, "Emma. I will half to get you to answer it." Now
you said in the closing of your letter, "Oh, how I wish I could see you."
Lisa said Mother come over the same thing when she read your letter. You regret
not writing oftener. In looking over mother's letter to find different
addresses, I find moor letters from you than anybody else. Mother
suffered lots with her sholder. The doctor scarcely left her side -
staid and done all he could to ease her. Everybody was so good.
Everything was done that could be done, but, oh, she was hurt so bad.
She had told us that night she wanted to be beried at the grove so we children could visit her grave. - wanted Jimie Poe to preach her funeral
- wanted Lisa to have the place and wanted him to go on with the
business just as he had been doing. She said if it was the Lord's will,
she wanted to get well to stay with us children, but if not, she was
ready to go. Said she had made that preparation a good many years ago.
She was so happy. Oh, Aunt, if I can just have the dying grace Mother
had. It is all I ask. She was perfectly resigned. Talked all that might
and next day till evening she begin to get a little stupid but was
perfectly conscious. After midnight she got weak so fast she suffered terrible about an hour before day. I suppose about an hour - begged us
to raise her up. We tried to fix her pilows and move her sholders around
to give her ease. We couldnt raise her up. She knew she was going. She
kept saying "Lisa, my dear. After awhile he says "Ma, do you
know me". "My yes" she says and looked at him and smiled
- the last time we ever saw her smile- She got easy and just got weaker.
Her breath got shorter and shorter till it just stopped. She dident move
even her hand. It was fifteen minutes till eight. Oh, Aunt, we was all
nearly killed. If anyone has more data on the above Boyds please contact me. Dawn Wheat NOTE: Use this data as a finding tool, just as you would any other secondary source. When you find the name of an ancestor listed, confirm the facts in original sources.
