My grandfather, Freeman, was born on October 12, 1904, in Big Mountain Hollow in Morgan County, Tennessee (near Oliver Springs), and was married three times.
He married his first wife, Agnes Weatherton, on August 15, 1922, in Johnson County, Arkansas, where she divorced him in 1924 (there were no children). He married his second wife, Mazie Miller, on February 14, 1925, in Anderson County, Tennessee, where she divorced him in 1928. He married his last wife and my grandmother, Helen Adkisson, on October 15, 1931, in Coalfield (Morgan County), Tennessee.
The day of birth on my grandfather's headstone is October 15, an oversight by my grandmother.
My grandfather's last year of formal education was the 1918-1919 school year (at Coalfield) when he was in the eighth grade. He quit school at that time to begin working in the mines.
After my grandparents' marriage, they lived with my grandmother's parents in Coalfield from 1931-1933 (their firstborn, Knowlton, was born and died there in January 1932). In the spring of 1933, they, along with a Coalfield cousin William "Bill" Jackson Sr. (1900-1975), temporarily moved to Clarksville, Arkansas (where my grandfather's parents lived), for employment and remained there until February 1934 (Bill had already returned to Coalfield before this date). Accompanied by my grandfather's uncle Herman Jackson (1886-1959) and his family (who were also moving to Coalfield from Clarksville), my grandparents returned (via his uncle's car) to my grandmother's parents' home that same month where my mother, Carol, was born in August 1934 (Great-Great-Uncle Herman and his family moved to the camp area of Coalfield). Later, my grandparents moved to the camp area of Coalfield where my uncle, Larry, was born in May 1940.
In the late summer of 1941, my grandparents, mother, and uncle again moved to Clarksville, Arkansas, for employment. In December of that year (when Pearl Harbor was bombed), my grandfather and his brother Francis Bunch (1910-1971) relocated to Brisbane, California (where my grandmother's brother Ralph Adkisson [1906-1996] and his family lived), for employment in the shipyards (my grandmother was also employed in the shipyards during World War II).* My grandmother, mother, and uncle, however, remained in Clarksville until February 1942 at which time they returned to my grandmother's parents' home in Coalfield. In September 1942, my grandmother and uncle joined my grandfather in Brisbane while my mother chose to remain with her grandparents in Coalfield (Mom wouldn't move to Brisbane until the spring of 1944).
During July through September 1945, my grandparents, mother, and uncle vacationed in Clarksville and Coalfield, and on the return trip to Brisbane in October visited my grandfather's paternal first cousin Hobert Shoopman (1897-1979) and his wife, Agnes, at their restaurant in Rock Springs, Wyoming. After my grandparents, mother, and uncle were on the road again that day, Hobert ended up tracking them down in his truck to let my grandfather know about some employment in the coal mines that had suddenly come up right after they left the restaurant (my grandfather had been inquiring about such employment during their visit with no prospects). Consequently, my grandparents, mother, and uncle remained in Rock Springs until March 1946 at which time they again vacationed in Clarksville and Coalfield during April through September.
In September 1946, my grandfather learned of coal-mining employment in Hiawatha, Utah, so they traveled from Clarksville to this locale and ended up living there from September through the fall of 1948. In the fall of 1948, they moved to Dragerton (now East Carbon), Utah, due to further employment in the coal mines. They would remain at this locale until April 1951.
By the summer of 1950, however, my grandparents were planning to sell their Dragerton home and move to Winters, California, where their friends Alvie and Pauline Stone (whom they had met in Dragerton) had relocated due to employment in the construction industry. My mother, on the other hand, decided to return to Coalfield, Tennessee, at that time to live with her widowed grandmother and attend her junior year at Coalfield High School.
Toward the end of Mom's junior year, my grandparents had sold their home and moved to Winters, but they had relocated to Davis by the time Mom joined them in August 1951. Mom began her senior year at Davis High School but returned in October to her grandmother's home in Coalfield to finish her senior year (she and my father married in June 1952 after their graduation in May). My grandparents' move to California marked the end of my grandfather's employment as a coal-miner and the beginning of his vocation in the construction industry until his retirement (he was partial to coal-mining).
Davis became my grandparents' permanent residence, and they moved into their final and newly-built home at 946 Craig Place by the late summer of 1957 (the house of my childhood memories). My grandmother sold the Davis home in the summer of 1978 at which time she moved to Piney Flats, Tennessee, to live near my uncle; she remained at this locale until her death in January 1981.
