"Elizabeth Jane Mattley and John (died at 49 years - heart attack) both buried in Ord, Nebr cemetary.
Sisters - Nora
and Stella (McClain) - she had twin boys
Also was - Edith Moser - sister
Brother - Eustes Mattley - S. Dakota
Norma Casteel & I were both named after my Grandma Mattely - She Norma JANE & me ELIZABETH Arlene.
MOTHER - Nora's mother was born in England & died in Ord. "My Grandmother". I was born in Oct 11, 1927 & she died Jan 1928 so I never really knew either of my Grandparents some were dead before I was born.
I never knew much about my "Grandpa Mattely" & his family as he was gone a long time before I was born & he died young - 49 - with "heart attack." I knew Mom "Nora" had two cousins that never married & lived & are buried in Deadwood, S.D. . "ETHEL MATTELY" & "ANDREW MATTELY". She was a missionary in China many years ago (for 20 years) & they had to stay hidden most of the time, "Andrew" had huge ears. Thought perhaps this gave you the idea for your "Elephant collection" maybe???? The "Mattleys" all seemed to be from South Dakota. Mom used to tell about the Indians came to their house wanting food & Grandpa told them to open their blanket & he would dump a bucket of frozen potatoes in, then they would go away.
Mom's borther "Uncle Eustes" raised his family in South Dak. Children were - Merton, Verda, Stanley, Lois. I think they are all dead & I don't know from what."

The Williams Clan by Virginia Ferguson Hayden
''...... Grandma was hard working and provided the steadiest income for the family. She raised chickens and sold the eggs as well as milk and cream from the cows they milked. I remember her pet chicken ''Bobby,'' so named because of her bobed off tail. Either from birth or by accident she lost her tail when she was a chick. I always imagined the sky fell on it. Grandma kept her in a warm box behind the old wood range. When Boby grew into a hen she would scratch at the screen door wanting to come in the house. Much to everyone's amazement she would go to the back room where the crates of eggs were kept and hop up on a crate and deposit her egg there with all the rest...true story!
In some of the small towns where they later live Grandma was a telephone operator with the switch board set up in their house. She often went the extra mile especially during World War II when a service man called home. She sent Arlene running to fetch the parents who had no phone to come quickly as a call was waiting from their loved one.
She also provided room and board for the school teacher which brought in a little extra money during those frugal times. She had big vegetable gardens and sold the produce as well as churning butter for people who lived in town. She had a sharp tongue and little patience with the antics of the two children who came along late in her life. She was a beautiful spirited lady with black snappy eyes. She loved to go dancing. Looking back at her life one has to admire her for putting up with the likes of Grandad. ......''

I never knew much about my "Grandpa Mattely" & his family as he was gone a long time before I was born & he died young - 49 - with "heart attack." I knew Mom "Nora" had two cousins that never married & lived & are buried in Deadwood, S.D. . "ETHEL MATTELY" & "ANDREW MATTELY". She was a missionary in China many years ago (for 20 years) & they had to stay hidden most of the time, "Andrew" had huge ears. Thought perhaps this gave you the idea for your "Elephant collection" maybe???? The "Mattleys" all seemed to be from South Dakota. Mom used to tell about the Indians came to their house wanting food & Grandpa told them to open their blanket & he would dump a bucket of frozen potatoes in, then they would go away.
Mom's borther "Uncle Eustes" raised his family in South Dak. - Merton, Verda, Stanley, Lois. I think they are all dead & I don't know from what.
The folk's "Wedding Certificate" was all crumbled up, & your "Aunt Elma" had a lady put it all back together & that is why Dick K. had it after she died. I had the little picture enlarged & blown up so you can see what they looked like & sent the little picture back to Norma."

State of Oregon, Oregon Death Index, 1903-70, Salem, Oregon, Williams, Bert Ernest - Oregon Death Index, (Filmed by the Oregon State Archives and Records Center, [1970-].), " Name: WILLIAMS, Bert E; County: Wallowa; Death Date: 02 Aug 1944".
Arrived in Nebraska as a young man from Vermont. He was a constant wanderer - loved Oregon. Went to visit his daughter (Isla) and family - had climbed a cherry tree to pick cherries, slipped and fell. Injured his spine and passed away. Orally from LEJHW - 11 January 2000
(MY NOTE - Virginia is the daughter of Isla Williams Ferguson - daughter of Bert and Nora Williams - full context of her small book located under Virginia Ferguson's notes). Since he died in Oregon and spent so much time there --- wondering if his father and siblings were there and also if they are buried there. He's buried in Bladen, NE or Chapman, Merrick Co., Nebraska - am wondering why? Know they lived there once - but - are there others of the Williams Clan buried there???
GROWIN' UP COUNTRY Early Years In The Heartland The Williams Clan by - Virginia Ferguson Hayden
''My story would not be complete without a segment devoted to the Williams. Although many of my childhood memories center around the Fergusons, I do recall the wonderful times spent with Mom's family on the old farm a few miles west of Ansley, Nebraska. The clan consited of Grandad, Grandma and their seven children; Bert Ernest, Nora Oleva (Mattley), Lee, Isla, Glen, Elma, Loren, Dale and Arlene. ...... Bert, my grandad, was a knarly old cuss. He took great delight in teasing us or the animals or the neighors or his wife. We four children however, would devise ways of getting even. Once when we found his chew stashed away in the barn, we carefully wrapped it around a piece of dried chicken manure. We hung around the barn for what seemed like hours until he came in and popped that wad of soggy tobacco in his mouth. It was difficult to keep quiet and control our mirth as he began to chew and swear and spit. Grandad liked to whittle and would sit by the hour in a chair leaned back on the shady side of the house. He made wonderful whistles from willow branches for us. He carved beautiful wooden chains from one long board. It was magical how he could make each link interlock with the adjoining one without a break. He taught us mumbly-peg, a game of skill using a pocket knife. His favorite pastime was listening to the boxing matches broadcast on radio, especially when a championship was at stake. Since most of the time his radio did not pick up the sound waves he'd make a trip into Ansley and sit in front of Shada's Grocery Store sharing a bench with several other old cronies as they listened to the fights on a more powerful radio. Grandad had the ''wanderlust'' as Grandma described his sudden disappearances. He would be gone for several weeks or even months traveling about the country, visiting old haunts, and looking for long-lost relatives. He must have hitch-hiked or caught a freight as he left the car for Grandma's use. To my knowledge he would never call nor write as to his where-abouts and as suddenly as he left he would return to pick up life where he'd left it. ...... Looking back at her life one has to admire her for putting up with the likes of Grandad. Grandad's mother, Great Grandma Zarr visited occasionally bringing most of her belongings in an old dilapidated trunk. I don't remember any of her husbands, though I know there were several. It is told that she made her last husband change his name to hers. She feigned deafness but we children didn't beleive it and we dreamed up a way of testing it out. We stood behind her rocking chair and whispered, ''Grandma Zarr's a mean ole witch, Grandma Zarr's a mean ole witch!'' Suddenly her cane came whooshing around missing our heads by mere inches. At least we proved to ourselves she could hear. When she married her second husband she told her sons, Frank who was 12 and Bert who was 8, they had to leave home. They left never to return to live with her again. Frank worked at any job available for food and housing for he and my grandfather. Knowing her, one has to surmise that some of Grandad's orneriness was inherited. ......"
Letter from Isla Peal Williams Ferguson to Vicky Lou Williams Winfield dated 4-28-1991 Baker City, Or.
''......I noticed the stamp on your letter said Vermont. My dad was born in that state. He always wanted to go back to his birth place but he never did. People didn't travel much in those days. He and his brother helped in the tapping of the Maple trees. It always was so interesting hearing him talk about Vermont. During the years that I was growing up, Dad always received a 30 lb. can of pure Maple sugar from some of his relatives who still lived there. When Dad left there, his parents separated. They both remarried later, Some of the family went to Oklahoma and others to Nebr. My grand father died before I was born but I knew my grandmother and your Dad knew her too. We called her Grandma Zarr. She died and is buried at Thayer Ne. That is a little town near Seward. Her parents lived in Vermont. My great grand parents on the Williams side homesteaded in the San Joaquin valley. Dad visited them several times when he was a young man. I think they are buried in Redding Ca. ......''

Grand Island is in Hall County, Nebraska. vlww >
My Dad "Bert's", father had red whiskers & we figured that was where Isla, Glen, & Arlene got their red hair. When he died Grandma married "Andy Zarr" both buried in Tamora, Nebr this side of Lincoln. She had Uncle Frank, Bert, Aunt Ellen, 1/2 sister Ruth
Aunt Ellen died from cancer of the breast.
Grandma kicked Dad & Uncle Frank out when they were 11 & 12 - had to find work on farms & shift for themselves, she had a real "ornery disposition". Mom always dreaded when she would come & stay at our house, she would always darn all of Dad's socks while she was there. HA
This was prepared for you by your "Auntie" Elizabeth Arlene Williams, Riddle, Sheehan, Hanna, Bernhardt. I hold the family 'record' for being married the 'most' times (4). I could really write a 'best seller' but am too old to start on a book (73). HA
The folk's "Wedding Certificate" was all crumbled up, & your "Aunt Elma" had a lady put it all back together & that is why Dick K. had it after she died. I had the little picture enlarged & blown up so you can see what they looked like & sent the little picture back to Norma.
Note given to me at my stepfather's funeral March 2002 states "Uncle Lee's kids live in North Platte - Jackie Wilson." Have no idea who gave it to me - found in pocket of my coat when I got back home. (vlww)
