Minnie Camille Mays Litcelle [Letcelle][Litzell] was born in Texas to Enoch Grigsby Mays Jr. [born Florida] and Delia Boatner Mays [born Louisiana] most likely in Dallas in April 1978 according to divorce records, but her death certificate makes her one year younger. Her parents were divorced in 1883 in Dallas, Texas, after her father reportedly deserted the family in Gainesville, Texas by 1880, and her mother [worked as a music teacher briefly in Gainesville, but returned to Dallas where her brother was a marble cutter to live and get a divorce] married a second time to John M. Moody of Indiana in Midland Texas in 1886. John M. Moody was a veteran of the Civil War having served in a Ohio Union Regiment in 1864 at a young age. The family lived in Midland until near the turn of the century. John Moody was one of the original developers of the city of Midland and the city sits on his former sheep ranch. Her father, Enoch Mays, had a business as a horse/mule dealer in Bell County, Texas where he married a second time in 1884 to Eula Mims from Alabama in Bell County near Belton. Camille lived with her mother and stepfather and two younger half-sisters, Norma Moody Besancon, and Hollie Boatner Moody Gowan born of the marriage of her mother to John Moody. She grew up with them as the older sister and was very close to them, especially Norma. She had two other younger half-sisters [Ruth H.Mays and Myrtle Mays Baker] and two younger half-brothers [Luther Mays and Arthur Mays] from her father's second family also. The Moody family moved from Midland to Eddy, NM by 1900, briefly, and then by 1903 to North Fort Worth Texas. John Moody was in the real estate business in Midland and later in Fort Worth. He came to Ft. Worth when the stockyards and packing houses were built on the North side in 1902/03. Camille [and Norma] worked as stenographers in the family real estate business, and Camille worked also as a newspaper society editor for a newspaper, the Ft. Worth Record, prior to her stepfather's death. She lived in Ft. Worth at 2401 Clinton Avenue until ca 1928. This was the old home place where the family lived from 1903. She married in 1923/24 to Dennis Foster Litzell [Litcelle] from Ohio after her mother died in 1922. Litzell left his first wife in Ohio. She survived her husband and his second wife. Camille's step-father, John Moody, died in 1911 in Colorado while looking after a mining interest there. Camille was very close to her step-father and was with him in 1911 when he died of a heart attack in Colorado. She planned to escape the hot summers of Texas and spend the summer in the mountains of Colorado. Camille had beautiful handwriting as witnessed by her signature on the probate document and was apparently well educated for her time. She brought her step father's body back on the train to Ft. Worth for burial. It was an big responsiblility and uncommom for a single woman in 1911 to travel alone for such a long distance. She was also included as a full heir at his probate. There were no known children from Camille's marriage. She was in her mid-forties when she first married. Oddly enough her biological father, Enoch Mays, died in 1900 in Bell County Texas and by 1922, the survivors of his second family had moved to Fort Worth to live, and the two families lived near each other for several years and had a relationship. Camille's mother Delia Moody died in 1922. Camille was the last survivor of Enoch Mays' family with the exception of a half brother Luther Mays who died in 1970 in the Texas State Home for the Insane in Kerrville, Texas thus outliving the whole family. Another half brother died at a young age before 1910 in either Hico, or Cleburne, Texas. Ruth Mays died in Ft. Worth, Texas in 1959. She never married. Myrtle Mays was married in 1926 to Ward Baker and moved to Wyoming and was killed in a automobile accident in Lamar Colorado in 1935. There were no known grandchildren of Enoch Mays' (Jr.) family. Luther Mays was committed in 1905 in Hamilton Texas by his mother Eula Mims Mays and spend his entire life institutionalized. Camille and her husband disappeared from Fort Worth, Texas in 1928/29 or so. Before they left Ft. Worth they sold the old home place and lived in a rent house for a short time. Her husband, Dennis Litzelle, was a auto mechanic and blacksmith while in Ft. Worth. He left a family behind in Ohio. One daughter Cynthia Litzell lived with Dennis and Camille in Fort Worth. She was still present in the Tarrant County 1930 census living in a boarding house and working as a comestic saleslady, but disappears from history afterward. Cynthia may have married a man named Brown. Camille moved to California in ca 1942 [her half-sister Norma Besancon was living there by this time] and may have lived in the San Diego area before moving to Oxnard, California in ca 1958 where she died in 1961. She was at her father's second wife's [Eula Mims Mays] funeral in Ft. Worth in 1942 and probably left for California soon afterward. It is believed that she and her husband Dennis Foster Litzell split up at some point prior to her departure for California. He probably returned to Ohio from Texas. He died in Columbus Ohio in 1956 and is buried in Derea, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. For unknown reasons Camille was buried in Westminster Central Memorial Park Cemetery October 10, 1961, 15 days after she died. The reason for the delay is unknown.She is listed as a widow on her death certificate. On her death certificate she is listed as a widow.
