My Great grandparents. John Patrick and Mary Thomas Wilhelm Beaty. They lived in Zephyr, Brown County, Texas most of their lives, only moving to Del Rio, Val Verde, Texas after a fire destroyed their home in Zephyr. They lived out their remaining years with their daughter in Del Rio. Both are buried in the Westlawn Cemetery in Del Rio.

George Robert Tate married Lee Alice Wilhelm. They lived in Abilene, Taylor, TX. I have letters written from Lee to my Aunt. I have researched this family fairly extensively.

This is my grandfather, Willie Frederic Moegelin. We called him grandpa Bill because we had so many grandparents that were living at the same time, we had to differentiate them from one another somehow. He was an avid fisherman and loved to go camping with all of his children and grandchildren. He worked for H.E.B. grocery company as a truck driver that delivered groceries to various H.E.B. stores around the state of Texas. When he drove that big truck, he would stop by our home and bring us candy or fruit and visit a while before resuming his trip, usually when his deliveries were already done and his truck was empty. He was b 23 Apr 1897 on the Salado creek near San Antonio, Texas. He d 23 May 1964 of a spider bite on his leg that became infected. He like his wife was a very family oriented man who had a gentle soul. He was a tall man with brown eyes, and a gentle smile. When he saw one of his grandchildren they got a quick hug in his big muscular arms that made you always feel safe and loved.

This is a photo of my grandparents Eddie Bee Beaty and his wife Vina Mae Wadsworth. I am not sure where this picture was taken and the date is approximately in the 1920's. There is a story written about both of these people listed under Wadsworth.

This is my father Eddie Nugent Beaty. He was born April 22, 1916 in Ft. McKavett, Menard Co, TX. He lived most of his life in Del Rio, Val Verde, TX. He worked for Kimbel Grocery Co as a salesman traveling the state filling orders for food products at many stores in TX. Kimbel's delivered the groceries the stores ordered. He was never a veteran for our country during WWII, because he was diabetic. My father died Dec 22, 1981 in San Antonio, Bexar Co, TX. of a Stroke.

This is my grandmother when she was a young girl of approximate 15 years of age. She was born and raised in Zephyr, Brown County, TX. Her father was Solomon Andrew Wadsworth and her mother was Kizzie Jane Reynolds.

She was also very family oriented and made many trips to visit with her children. She had many a backyard picnics with all of her children present. She had nicknames for all of her grandchildren and loved being with them as much as they loved being with her. She was a down to earth lady, a great friend and a fun companion. She didn't have much but what she did have was love of life and family. She lived out her last days with one of her children in Austin.
