   James Henderson Waggoner was born to Mr. and Mrs. George Waggoner June
   24, 1852, in Smith county, Tennessee. He moved with his parents to
   Russelville, Ky., where he grew to manhood. He was united in marriage
   August 7, 1972 to Miss Marguarete Tooley. They moved to Fort Worth,
   Tex. and later located at Pilot Point, Tex. To this union nine
   children were born, Elias Pinkney, found missing at the age of 19
   years, Thomas Townsend of Claude, Tex., Victor Hugo of Myard, New
   Mex., Mrs. Betty Ann Cheatam of Laveeu, Ariz., Mrs. Jennie Myers of
   Clinton, Okla., Mrs. Gracy Lee Barnett of Pasadena, Calif., Leaborn
   Geirge (George) Waggoner, deceased, Lawrence Waggoner, deceased and

   buried in Taylor cemetery beside their children.
   
   Mr. Waggoner was married in 1923 to Mrs. Anna B. Redding of Elk City.
   They moved to Pampa, Texas, where they lived until Feb. 10, 1934, when
   he was struck by an automobile, bruised about the head severely, he
   was taken to the Pampa hospital where his brother Ben Waggoner and his
   daughter, Mrs. Jennie Myers of Clinton cared for him until he was able
   to be moved to the home of his daughter. It seemed for a time that Mr.
   Waggoner would be able to overcome the shock from the accident but a
   stroke of paralysis caused the end Saturday morning at 3:35. Mr.
   Waggoner is survived by his wife, two sons and three daughters and a
   number of grand children and great grandchildren. The two sons, three
   daughters, wife, one brother and one grand daughter Mrs. Bonnie

   to mourn his death.
