• Residence: 12 Sep 1915, Lawton, Comanche County, Oklahoma
• Residence: Feb 1927, Hinton, Caddo County, Oklahoma

Notes:

1910 Census Record indicates U. A. "Liss" and Callie were living in Lincoln Township, Comanche, Oklahoma and had two children living with them, Walter "Buster" who was 4 and Albert "Buck" who was just 16 months. Callie stated that she had given birth to two children and both of them were living. The Census also shows that Liss was a blacksmith and operated his own shop.

1920 Census Record indicates Ulysses "Liss" and Callie were living in Lawrence Township, Comanche, Oklahoma and had 6 children living with them, Walter "Buster" 12, Albert "Buck" 10, Archie 8, Ethel 6, Ruby 4 and Alma who was just 3. The Census shows they rented their home and Liss was a farmer. Archie was mistakenly listed as a daughter on this Census. Maybe they had so many kids running around they confused the Census taker.

1930 Census Record indicates Ulysses "Liss" and Callie were living in (Hinton) Quanah Township, Comanche, Oklahoma and had all 11 children living with them. Ulysses was 45 years old, Callie 40, Walter "Buster" 24, Albert "Buck" 21, Archie 19, Ethel 16, Ruby 13, Alma 12, Ray 10, Joe "Pod" 8, Charlie Leon 5, Laura Viola 3 and William "Bill" was just 4 months old. The Census much more information: They were renting their home and lived on a farm. Liss and Buck were farmers and Buster was a truck driver. Archie, Ethel, Ruby, Alma, Ray and Pod were in school in 1929. Buck and Buster were married but there is no mention of their wives living in the home. Unlike the 1920 Census...Archie was listed as a son and not a daughter.

DAR file number 840385 and death certificate show Callie's birth place as Addington, Oklahoma, however I had in my records Indian Territory, Addington, Oklahoma. Addington was not incorporated as a town until 1901, 11 years after her birth. I need to order a copy of her birth certificate to confirm this.

I also need to see if I can confirm the difference between the place of their marriage from my record of Mud Flat, Indian Territory, Oklahoma and the DAR record of Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory.

• Census: 06 Aug 1870, Warren County, Tennessee
• Census: 1880, Fannin County, Texas
• Census: 04 Jun 1900, Morris Township, Texas County, Missouri

Notes:

April 12, 1898, Obediah went to Forney, Kafman County, Texas, possibly visiting his father who moved there from Tennessee. He wrote Laura, his wife, a letter from there on this date. Juanita (Clower) Kirby Wells has this original letter.

Deleted: 1890 Census Piney Township, Texas County, Missouri. I don't know where I got this information. I usually don't put in a Census record unless I have it. I could not locate it... In case it comes up again.

1900 Census indicates Obediah was living in Morris Township, Texas County, Missouri with his wife Laura and 4 children Ulysses, Alta, Cassie and Belle, they could all read, however Laura and Alta could not write. It shows Obediah and Ulysses were farmers and they rented their home.

There may have been an illness in Texas County when Obediah passed away because Obediah and Laura had a 6 month old daughter who died just 2 months before Obediah and he was only 38 years old.

After Obediah passed away Laura let a man have hold of her property he sold it and moved her out to Cabool MO. Alph and Liss found a place at Claude called Hat Top Mountain east of Duncan and they sent for her and she came with the younger children with the exception of possibly Alta who married in Bado. Cassie Harrison Bevis

Received from Marie (Jones) Bradley need to locate original record. Source and notes have not been added to each child:

Obediah married Harrison, Laura E on 06 Dec 1882 in Morris Township, Texas County, Missouri. Laura (daughter of Harrison, Audley B and Hargis, Hannah Elizabeth) was born on 14 Feb 1862 in Bado, Texas County, Missouri; died on 07 Feb 1927 in Faxon, Comanche County, Oklahoma; was buried in Lot 51 A Pecan Cemetery, Lawton, Comanche County, Oklahoma. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events:

• Census: 04 Jun 1900, Morris Township, Texas County, Missouri
• Census: 25 Feb 1920, Stephens County, Oklahoma

Notes:

1900 census indicates Laura gave birth to Seven children but only 5 were living.

Interview with Cassie: Soon after Laura's husband Obediah Harrison died in 1901-1902, Laura and her children moved to Oklahoma Territory. Laura lost the farm in Missouri. I have heard something from a couple of people, including Juanita Wells, that there was a man who cheated Laura out of the farm. Cassie said something about Laura losing the farm also. She said Alph was about 17, Liss was about 14 and Laura sent them on horseback from Texas County Missouri to Stephens County, Oklahoma to find a place for them to live near her brother who lived there. After Alph and Liss found a place, Laura moved to Stephens County with the girls.

Should be able to locate 1910 census showing Cassie and Belle still living with Laura.

1920 Census indicates Laura was 58, a widdow, and living in Wall Township, Stephens County, Oklahoma with her single brother Bynker who was 54. The Census shows Laura owned her house which was free of mortgage, she was in the farming truck trade and could read and write.

Cassie remembers her father George W. Harrison sending Alph and Ed to Laura's to help them with the farm. Alph didn't like it, he didn't like farming, but Ed didn't mind.

Mrs. Laura Harrison, 65 years of age, passed away Monday afternoon at 1:50 at the home of her son, Alph Harrison, who lives 11 miles southwest of Lawton. Besides her son, Alph, she is survived by another son, U. A. Harrison of Hinton, and two daughters, Mrs. Alta Wheeler of Duncan, and Mrs. Cassie Anderson of Friday, Texas. Both sons and Mrs. Wheeler are here for the funeral. Mrs. Harrison is also survived by three brothers who reside in Missouri.
Funeral services were held this afternoon at the residence at 1:30. Rev. Walter Jones, a Baptist minister of Faxon, conducted the services. Burial was made in Pecan Cemetery with Ritter's in charge. The family has the sympathy of their friends in their bereavement. (The Lawton Constitution, Tuesday, 08 Feb 1927, p. 1).

OBITUARY:
FUNERAL SERVICES FOR MRS. HARRISON
Funeral services were held yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock at the home of Alph Harrison, a prominent farmer residing eleven miles southwest of Lawton, for his mother, Mrs. Laura Harrison, who died Monday afternoon, Rev. Walter Jones, officiating.
Mrs. Harrison came to live with her son twelve years ago from Duncan where she lived with a daughter several years. She was an earnest Christian, was loved by all who knew her, and her friends sympathize with the family in her passing. U. A. Harrison of Hinton, her other son, was here for the funeral, as was her daughter, Mrs. Alta Wheeler of Duncan. Her other daughter, Mrs. Cassie Anderson of Friday, Texas, was unable to attend.
The funeral service was well attended, several cars of relatives and friends were present from Duncan and surrounding communities. The pallbearers were William Blair, Frank Hill, Waller Jones, Chester Hood, W. L. Carr, and G. D. Fawley. (The Lawton Constitution, Wednesday, 09 February 1927, p. 3).

DAR file number 840385 indicates Laura died in Lawton, Oklahoma, however Zula Juanita Harrison remembered Laura living with her family in Faxon, Oklahoma, just a few miles south of Lawton. This area was previously known as Lawrence Township, Pecan Cemetery is there where the majority of our Harrison and Hennessee family is burried and hundereds of our family once lived there. Obituary confirms Laura died in the home of her son, Alph Harrison, 11 miles southwest of Lawton, which is Faxon.

• Census: 30 Apr 1910, Lincoln Township, Comanche County, Oklahoma

Notes:

1870 Census Record indicates Ezekiel and Victoria were living in Warren County, Tennessee and he was a farm labor and she kept house. It also states Ezekiel was 21, Victoria was 17 and they did not have any children yet.

1880 Census Record indicates Ezekiel and Victoria were living in Kaufman County, Texas with their two youngest children Sallie who was 7 and Thomas who was just 1. It also states Ezekiel worked on a farm and Victoria kept house. The Census shows a 16 year old black male, Kendrick Rofe, living with them who was a domestic servant.

1900 Census Record indicates Ezekiel and Victoria were living in Nocona, Montague County, Texas and they had five of their children living with them Thomas who was 21, Virginia who was 17, Callie who was 10, Nora who was 7 and Samuel who was 3. They also had a nephew, George Hennessee, who was 14 and born in May of 1886 living with them in addition to a 29 year old male servant Joe Lawrence. The Census states Ezekiel was a farmer. Sallie died of Yellow Fever sometime before 1890. Callie, who was born in 1890, did not recall having a younger sister sallie.

1910 Census Record indicates Ezekiel and Victoria were living in Lincoln Township, Comanche, Oklahoma and had two children living with them, Jennie who was 27 and single and Sam who was 15 and single. Victoria stated that she had given birth to five children and all five of them were living. The Census also shows that Ezekiel was a farmer and owned his own farm.

"The Hennessee Family in America" by D. A. Hennessee states:
Ezekiel was a blacksmith and a woodworker.

"Prairie Lore" by The Southwestern Oklahoma Historical Society, vol 10 number 2, book 38, Oct 1973 an article written by S. N. Hennessee states Ezekiel "Jake" and Victoria moved to Vanzant County, Texas. Their two young children (Sallie and George) died there of Yellow Fever.

There is no record of George being a son of Ezekiel and Victoria, however the 1900 Census Record indicates a nephew, George Hennessee. There is also no record I have been able to locate of Ezikiel and Victoria living in Vanzant County, Texas.

Ezekiel married Rodgers, Victoria about 1870 in Warren County, Tennessee. Victoria (daughter of Unknown, and Unknown,) was born on 19 Dec 1853 in Warren County, Tennessee; died on 14 Jan 1913 in Tinney Township, Comanche County, Oklahoma; was buried in Old Lot 35 B Pecan Cemetery, Lawton, Comanche County, Oklahoma.

• Census: 30 Apr 1910, Lincoln Township, Comanche County, Oklahoma

Notes:

I received the last name of Victoria "Rogers" from Marie (Jones) Bradley. Since then I received the death certificate of Callie Adeline Hennessee which was transcribed at the time of Callie's death by her daughter Laura Viola (Harrison) Rodgers and entered into her family record book. This transcription spelled Victoria's last name as "Rodgers". I do not know if this spelling is correct or if Viola was just used to spelling it with a "d". I will try to order the death certificate for Callie and Victoria to verify this informtion. Confirmed Callie's death certificate RODGERS.

1900 Census indicates Victoria gave birth to 14 children but only 5 were living on June 6, 1900.
