OBITUARY--J.W. STAFFORD
John Wesley Stafford was born August 6, 1846, in Ohio, and departed this life December 18, 1927,at his home southwest of Tingley. He was the son of Washington and Elizabeth Stafford. He had four sisters and three brothers--two sisters and one brother having preceded him to the Great Beyond.
When a boy he moved with his parents to Livingston county, Ill., where he grew to manhood. He was married to Margaret Riddell. To this union were born three children--George of Ankeny, Iowa, Miss Mazie, who is at home, and one child dying in infancy. His wife preceded him in death fourteen years ago.

In 1877 he moved from Illinois with his family to Taylor County and settled on a farm near Lenox. In the fallof 1877 they moved to Ringgold count
y, settling on a farm four miles soutwest of Tingley. In 1881 they mov
ed to the Stafford farm, where he has resided ever since with the excepti
on of two years that they lived in Tingley.
Earlyin his life he united with the Evangelical church, and later changed his membership to the Methodist church of Tingley when the class was reorganized.
Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at the ME church, conduct
ed by his pastor, Rev. C.L. Thomas. A large number of friends attended, showing the high esteem in which Mr. Stafford was held by the people. Interment was made in the Tingley cemetery by the side of his wife.

We wish to thank the friends and neighbors for acts of kindness and words of sympathy in the passing of our father. Also for hte floral tributes and to the singers forthe music. May the dear Lord comfort and sustain you when sorrow comes to your home--George Stafford and Miss Mazie Stafford.The obituary speaks of four sisters and three brothers. If George knew what he was talking about when he supplied the information, he was apparent
ly omitting Hanna Isabella and the baby that died. The brother who was de
ad would be Joseph (see notes on Joseph Milton Stafford); the sisters who were dead would be anyone except Mazie.

George Austin Stafford was also a mechanical whiz and inventor. He created a harvesting machine that apparently pre-dated the McCormick invention but he didn't patent it in time to make his fortune from it. As a young man he lost his arm in a threshing machine (I wonder if he was tinkering with it at the time). To eat his meals one-handed, he invented a "knife-fork", a double-sided implement. I have a photograph of it, given to me by his granddaughter. On the 1930 census, he gives his occupation as "inventor". His sons often list occupations that have to do with mechanics or engineering. And the youngest brother of the bunch, Isaac Branson "Branty", also worked with machinery in a planing mill. Either it's genetic or Isaac (their father) had a huge influence on the proclivity of his sons, eh?

It has come down to my generation. Lorenza Derwin Barnett, George's grandson, was always figuring out ways to make things run better or jury-rigging apparatus on the farm. My dad, Harold, has been the same way his whole life -- there was always something disassembled on the kitchen table on weekends. He, like George Stafford's sons, worked in the oil business, hands-on machinery and equipment work. And my little brother, Bill, was a gifted auto mechanic until his death at 42.

How incredible to get this story from you. I am so, so grateful for your compilation and sharing. This is what family research should look like. Bless you. -- Meg Barnett

George A. Stafford moved to Texas with his parents from North Carolina by
horse and covered wagon, settling in Montague Co. where he owned the
Circle S. Ranch. The family moved to Belcherville from Montague around
1903 or 1904, and lived there until around 1912, when they moved to Sour
Lake, Texas in Hardin County. One source says he is buried in Sour
Lake, Hardin Co., TX; another says he is buried in Beaumont, Jefferson
Co., TX.

George A. Stafford was an inventor, co-owner of the Stafford and Robinson
Straw Binder Harvester Manufacturing Company which sold shares in 1891 in
Montague Co., TX. Some reports states this binder was in operation
before McCormick started manufacturing their bind that mechanized
agriculture.

He lost his arm at "65 years of age, July 10, 1935, at 5:00." Family
story says he lost his arm to the strawbinder machine -- didn't see a
doctor right away, blood poisoning set in and he had to have it amputated.

George was, according to one family story, a gambler and won a saloon in
Raton, NM which he ran for a while but sold because "he saw too many men
spending money on booze when they had hungry children at home."

He was buried on 1 September 1935 in Beaumont, Jefferson Co.,TX
