Joy has learned that this is the Twigg home in Bronaugh |
 The individuals are: John Claude Lucas and his wife Laura Josephine Hudiburgh. The girl is Stella A Lucas, born 2 Aug 1889 in Vernon County. She met and married her husband, Robert Newlin Armstrong. He also was born in Bronaugh, Vernon, MO in to Rufus Pinkley Armstrong and Susan Elizabeth Doores; 24 Feb 1887. There was a time that the Twigg property was sort of a cluster of Twigg (next door property) Terpening, Hudiburgh and Lucas. Shared and written by Joy Keister |

Nelle Twigg was the youngest and last child to William T. Twigg. Nelle was born to William and Ollie Terpening-Twigg 12 Aug 1894. It is known that for a time she spent with the St Francis orphanage. Nelle did marry a Daniel Perkins (also of Moundville) on 20 DEC 1910. Nelle was only 16 yrs old at the time of her marriage and needed a guardian to sign consent. On the certificate it indicates a J. N. Coin as being the guardian for legal consent. Interestingly enough, Daniel appears in the 1920 federal census back home with his mother Huldah Perkins as being single and working as a coal hauler. I knew that Nelle had married twice but didn't realize that the marriage ended in such a short time. Shared by Joy Keister Lower photo is of Nellie Twigg Perkins shared by Dale Brown. |

Joy also sent this photo that we are in hopes that someone will be able to help in identifying some of the folks.The photo was taken, obviously in the winter but she is not aware of the location probably at John William Twigg's home. Joy wrote: "John William Twigg is the white haired ,am, wearing a suit and tie, mouth ajar in the middle slightly to the left. Behind him is Lona Belle Sherrill and off to her right is a young man, tall and dark and that's Charlie Twigg. After William T Twigg died in 1903, Charlie stayed and worked on John Williams' farm then moved on. By then he was the eldest at the farm and decided to strike out on his own. He knew his brother Ernest Twigg (Olive and Wiliam Twigg's son) was living in Montana so he traveled west to be with Ernest. Without much luck Charles moved west again to be with his older half sister, Catherine Twigg Lucas (my grandmother). Charles never married. He never got to finish school and just worked odd jobs to stay alive. He was what the family called A Gentle Giant since he was so tall. He enjoyed with with his cousins and remained in Oregon. " So if anyobne has a duplicate of this image where they are identified, that would be great. But that is pretty unlikely, so we hope to piece together id's. It is possible these are Twigg's and Sherell's instead of being all Twigg's. |
