THIRD SON OF WILLIAM HENRY PICKEL & Linda Rebecca Boring Charles M. (Charley) Pickel

Born: August 1885 married

in Tennessee

DIED: date unknown

at Wanetta, OK

Buried in Pickel plot at

Whitebead, OK (Garvin Co.

married Callie Sutter

Mrs. F. C. Pickel has done extensive research on the family and can probably give anyone information they are seeking. Her address is 820 East Grand Ave., Clovis, New Mexico.

I am only writing as I remember the Pickels.

Uncle Charley had Lillie Pickel, birth date unknown to me., I believe the next girl was Susie. I remember Uncle Charley came to see us once and we all went down on the Washita River north of Whitebead to the swinging bridge that crossed to Florence Chapel community and they fished.

Mrs. F. C. Pickel located Uncle Charley's daughter, Sadie Dayton, at Shawnee, OK. We went to see her in August 1993 on her birthday. When I ask her questions about her dad she told us she did not remember the exact date he died; but she would never forget his death. Her mother, Callie, was an alcoholic and she had left home and was at her half-sister, Lillie's in Henryetta, OK when they called them her dad was dead. Sadie worshipped her father. She said he never struck her but once and it was over her drunk mother. She loved her Dad beyond reason.

She said her Dad and some negroes were killing hogs. They went into the woods to get some wood they told her. He was hit in the back of the head with an ax.

PICKELS

Third son of William H. & Linda Rebecca

Sadie said when she and Lillie arrived home that her dad was laid-out on a plank in the one room house that he and Callie lived in. She said he was naked lying there with fresh hog livers, fat for lard in pans surrounding him. She will remember to her dying day the smell of hog meat and the smell of the bloody body of her beloved father. It seems there was no law involved. That night she and Lillie slipped to a phone and called Charley's brother, F. M. "Uncle Randy".

I remember my Dad, "Randy", called our longtime friend and the he was the undertaker. He came to the house and I remember my Dad walking down the sidewalk to the ambulance tieing down a six--shooter to his leg just about the knee. I never saw that gun before and I never saw it again to my remembrance. But I can tell you I was scared to death.

My dad dug all the graves in the Whitebead Cemetery but he did not dig that one because he was gone all day. Late in the afternoon we waited and waited for Dad and Jim Stufflebean to come in with the body. The sun had gone down and Dad would not bury him. They brought the body to our house and some set up all night with it. My recollection was vivid in this. They put a sheet over a dresser mirl,ow and I kept trying to see what was behind that sheet. I got 5 or 6 good spanking and I never got to see because they watched it very close. The simple explanation was superstition that who ever saw the casket would be the next to die. The Indian superstition the spirit couldn't see it's way after dark was the reason Dad would not bury after the sun went down. Dad was not Indian; but he took no chances. I do not remember going back to the cemetery the next day when they buried him. Callie, Uncle Charley's wife, was an Indian.(Pottawattmie I believe, Sadie said)

We can find no proof of the date of Uncle Charley's death; but Sadie told us in 1993 that she was 19 years old and had gone to Lillie. That would mean that 60 years ago her dad died. So since they were killing hogs, I deduct that Uncle Charley probaly died in November 1933. Sadie was 79 in 1993.

UNCLE Charley's two boys, H. C. (Herman Charles) and J. D. (John) came to Dad later. They were starving. I don't remember how long they stayed. They had walked from Wanetta and only had food that people along the way gave them.

Pete told Viola when she started researching the family that she would find some things she did not want to know and some things others did not want her to know., but once she started she needed to keep going. She has done a magnificent job and the family owes her a big debt of gratitude.

THE

PICKELS

As I said in the beginning, this is my memories of the

Pickels I knew. Right or wrong it's the way I

remember it. This is my assessment of my family, some crazy, some judgmental, some zany, each with his own version of events and positive they are correct, but always lovable with hearts that wouldn't fit into a 50 gallon barrel. They give you the shirt off their backs, but don't try to take it or the battle is on.

There is those who are indifferent, some vehemently defend their dad as infallible; but as for me, I love my family with all their faults just as they love me with all my faults. That's what family is all about, good, bad,

and indifferent but MY FAMILY.
