  • Introduction

    Marguet (pronounced Margaret) was my mother. 5'08" originally Dark Brown Hair and Blue Eyes. Married my Dad, Holden Bland, in Vera, TX when she was 16 and my Dad was 24. They had a baby girl that did not come to full term (8 mo. justation) and is buried in Vera, TX then four other children Perry Lee, Edith Lanell (Hanson, Dimmitt, TX), Holden Eugene, Norma Jean (Callighan, Justin, TX). My Mother's parents James Kuykendall/Myrtle Snody. My mother said her daddy' s heritage was Black Dutch. James was the constable and blacksmith in Vera, TX. My mother was 1 of eight children: Cleo (Nelson), Perry T. (Archer City, Van (Seymore, TX), Juanita (Purdom Lubbock), Trula (Nelson-Burchett, Archer City, TX), Althea (Dolly) (Walker of Morenci, AZ), Cora Bell (Knox City, TX). Mother was out going, friendly, generous, self sacrificing, a great sense of humor, her eyes would say it all; she loved to cheat a games...she thought it was funny; she was fierce, when it came to her children. She had a- never give up spirit. She would never apologize, when she wronged someone. I was not her favorite, but I loved her so. Miss her greatly. She died April 12, 2011 her bowels quit working (I suspect she took too many laxatives) and they let her starve to death under sedation. Holden Eugene, my brother, stayed by my mother's side, until her death. I miss being able to call her on the way home from work every day. Miss you, Mom! Norma Jean Bland Callighan
