101 Living Descendants of Mrs. Catherine Barnett Allgood, Who Died June 15th, 1930. Many Reside in Neshoba County.
(Neshoba Democrat)
A long line of living descendants remain to Mrs. Catherine Barnett Allgood, late of this county, who died June 15th, 1930 at the age of 97. Five generations mourn her passing, among them many resident citizens of Neshoba and adjoining counties.
Mrs. Catherine Barnett Allgood was born in South Carolina on March 67th, 1833. She was married at the age of 14, to the late Levi Allgood. To this union was born 13 children; 8 girls and 5 boys. Seven of these children are now living: Mrs. Martha Breazeale of Route 10, Philadelphia; Mrs. Rebecca Steed, of Ethel, Route 3; Mrs. Ellen Gibbs of Philadelphia, Route 10; Miss Lucy Allgood, of Route 10, Philadelphia; Joe Allgood of Route 3, Ethel; Bud Allgood of Sallis; and Ezekiel Allgood, of Texas.
At the present time, the living descendants of Mrs. Catherine Allgood consist of the above seven children, and also 47 grandchildren, 40 great grandchildren and 7 great, great grandchildren. The youngest child at the funeral of Mrs. Allgood was 61 years of age, while the oldest was 78.
Mrs. Allgood's husband, Levi, preceded her to the grave 55 years ago, leaving her with a large family to rear, which she did in a most capable manner. She reared her family during the trying days of the civil war. She worked in the field and also did her house work, which she kept up until just a few years before her death. Just after the surrender after the Civil War, she was forced to undergo further hardships. For one instance in particular, she had no salt and had to dig up the earth around the "smokehouse," after which she boiled this earth and strained the water off and used it to season vegetables. The first salt she was able to buy after the war cost her $1.00 per pound, in Confederate money.
Mrs. Allgood raised all of her children to majority, except one who died in infancy.
The name "Allgood" was, by later generations changed in spelling to "Algood."
Three of the present generation shown above live in Louisville: Mrs. King, Mrs. Hudson and her son, "Billy."
My note: In all census in which Catherine can be found, her birth state is listed as either AL or MS.
