Comment on Seeking Martha Olive “Ollie” Johnson McCall (1874-1916) by Kevin Fahsholtz

Brad,

I’m the grandson of Faye, Ollie’s last daughter. I remember a number of conversations we had about her mother, though she was very young when she died. She said that Ollie died of an infection (most likely pneumonia or influenza), brought on by failing health from having (and raising) too many children. After her death, Aunt Sinai stepped in and raised Faye and Uncle Buster, until JK remarried.

One interesting story Grandma Faye told was that Ollie was first cousins with Samuel Clemmons (Mark Twain). Their mothers were sisters. That may help with your research.

Thanks,

Kevin Fahsholtz

Dear Brad McCall
I wish to thank you very much for the picture of J K and Martha Olive McCall. This the first and only picture of my maternal grandmother. I didn’t even know her name. My mother was Fay, JK’s youngest daughter. My first cousin, Harold Dean must have been your grandfather. We grew up together. He, my brother John , and I went together and bought a wild horse. Harold Dean was the only one that would ride him. We all spent many weeks evetry year on Uncle Bob’s and Uncle Deweys farms. It was a good way to grow up. Harold Dean had a son that was a very good cabinet maker. Is he your father? Do you live in Baker City OR?
Thanks again for your efforts
Sonny Fahsholtz

My great grandmother is Fay Margueritte McCall (1912-1988). She married Charles Audrey Fahsholtz and had three children: John McCall Fahsholtz, Charles “Sonny” Fahsholtz and Sina Jane “Sally” Fahsholtz.
My grandfather is John M. Fahsholtz – he married Carol Ann Kirsch. They had three children: Mike, Cindy and my mom Kristen. Most my family lives in Yakima, WA. My uncle Mike lives in Wenatchee and I am in Seattle.
Uncle Sonny married Patricia Anne. They had two boys Kevin and Erick and adopted a daughter, Kirsten. Most of Uncle Sonny’s family lives in Seattle – Erick is the only one that doesn’t, he lives in Spokane.
I don’t know anything about my great aunt Sally or her family – she died in a car crash before I was born. I do know she had two children, Stephen and Laura.

Great Grandpa Charles also died in a car crash in Oklahoma. Great Grandma Fay moved the family up to Stayon, Oregon with the rest of the McCall’s.

I showed this picture to my grandpa and Uncle Sonny – they were amazed that I had found such an old picture. Uncle Sonny said that Great Grandma Fay was 16 years old in this picture.

Comment on Robbert Harreld, Captain (1761-1824) – Biography by Jim Veregge

Looking for information on Robert Herreld’s parentage. Most IGI submissions have Robert born on August 12, 1761 in Nansemond County, Virginia.

Coincidentally, there was a John Harrell, also born August 12, 1761 in Nansemond County, entered military service in 1777 and received a pension there in 1833. (Pension File F-S9557). [Source: Virginia/West Virginia Genealogical Data From Revolutionary War Pension and Bounty Land Warrant Records, Vol. 2, Compiled by Lt. Col. Patrick G. Wardell].

Would appreciate any information you may have. Most of the Nansemond County Harrell’s appear to have migrated to North Carolina.

Thanks and best regards.

Comment on John Keener “J.K.” McCall and Extended Family – A Family Photo by Ken and Marie McCall

Ken and Marie McCall — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 01:15:59 +0000

Uncle Harry and Aunt Sina adopted Marilyn and Don. Marilyn died quite young, Don married Mildred and they had 3 sons, as I remember. Troy McCall married Elizabeth (Knoll) Parish who brought daughter LaTrelle and Kenneth Harold into the McCall family after Sam Parish died and left Elizabeth a widow. To the union of Troy and Elizabeth, Olive Darlene was born in 1938 and Dick was born in 1943. Darlene is married to Billy Phillips and they live in Carlsbad, New Mexico. To that union was born RaDeana, the Mother of 4 children and they still live in Carlsbad, N. Mexico. Darlene and Bill also have a son Willie Phillips and he lives in California, has never married as far as I know. Dick McCall and wife Mildred live in Kingwood, Texas (just out of Houston)and have 3 daughters all married and with children of their own. LaTrelle married Charles Mielke from Stayton, Oregon. Chucks Mother used to own and operate the Bon Ton restaurant in Stayton, Oregon. To Chuck and LaTrelle were born 3 daughters, one of those girls had 3 sons.

Ken and I have 3 sons, 11 Grandchildren, 26 Great Grandchildren and 3 Great Great Grandchildren. Except for one Grandson that is career Navy Chief and lives in Georgia (he and his wife have 2 sons), our kids and Grandkids all live in Texas. We are in our 80′s and still very busy. Marie Mason McCall (I was born and raised in the Gates- Mill City, Oregon area, Graduated from M. C. High School in 1947, married Ken in 1948. We are working on our 63 years of marriage.

I knew several McCall’s. Picked green beans for Uncle Bob as a child. Dewey used to come and visit with me in the bean rows and tell me all of his heartbreaks and concerns. One time J. K. came ranting into Uncle Bob’s bean field fussing at Jack Sadler and Harold Dean for passing the day with us girls. I think he was jealous (Ha’).
