Father: Henry Palestine Beauchamp -
(1826-1902).
Mother: Nancy Rose Cagle -
(1855-1912).
*Uda survived tuberculosis*
She was quarantined in a camp for awhile. She prayed that God would let her live so she could raise her children, and He did.
Uda was my paternal grandmother. Her birthplace was in Broken Bow, McCurtain Co., OK. She was a small framed lady with slender build. She married Vinson Allen Bryan on July 15, 1910 in McCurtian Co., OK., when she was abt. 18 years old. They waited until after they were married to have their first kiss. Uda, and Allen never divorced. They were married for almost 65 years. Allen's birthplace was in Trichem, AR. (somewhere near Waldo, AR.). Uda, and Allen had 9 children (7 boys, and 2 girls). She worked very hard raising her family, and keeping her marriage. One interesting fact is that she caught, and survived Tuberculosis. She prayed that God would let her live to raise her children, and he did.
Her husband worked a few different jobs during his lifetime. He was working for a sawmill in McCurtain, OK. when he met Uda. He was even a Sexton for a funeral home in the 1930s. He eventually became employed at Red River, and made a very good living for his large family. Later on in life he became an independent contractor doing everything within the trade.
Udas' father was Henry Palestine Beauchamp. He was born in Stone Mountain, De Kalb, Georgia in June of 1826. He was a county judge somewhere in Oklahoma or AR. (I'm not sure exactly where). He died in abt. 1902 in Sevier Co., AR. (probably Walnut Springs) of cancer when Uda was abt 9 yrs old. He was married to her mother, Nancy Rose Cagle (1855-1912), who was born in South Carolina, or possibly Alabama. They had 7 children. I know Uda had a sister named Fannie Mae, who was 2 or 3 years younger than she was. Nancy was his second wife. They were married in 20Nov1884 in Howard Co. Ark. He was 58 yrs old at the time, and Nancy was 29.
His first wife Sara Wells (1836-1884) had previously passed away. After he died, Uda's mother had to sell the Beauchamp Farm. Uda, and her mother started cooking for, and feeding people at a nearby sawmill. That is where Uda met her husband, Vinson Allen Bryan.
Apparently, the powerful Beauchamp family history did not get passed down to their children. There were 3 or more Veterans of the Revolutionary War in the Beauchamp family (Fountain Beauchamp (1727-1782), and William Beauchamp (1760-1836). Also,... Palestine was on the Roll of Militia in Pontotoc County (Miss.) 20Feb1863 - He was in the Civil War - Confederate Soldier).
If you go back into history - across the Atlantic Ocean into England - there were Knights, Barons, Baronesses, Counts, Countesses, Lords, & Ladies... in the Beauchamp family. There was also a Beauchamp Court at one time. It all sounds very exciting, and romantic. A few of her ancestors lived in the medieval Elmley Castle in Worcestershire, England. Over time it deteriorated, and now only earthworks remain. "On one of the Breedon hills a strong castle was erected, in the reign of William the Conqueror, and destroyed in that of King Henry III: a college, or chantry, for eight priests was founded in it by Guy Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick, in honor of the Blessed Virgin: the site and surrounding moat are still discernible" From the book: A Guide to the city and suburbs of Worcester, page 119 (Google). A medieval deer park which surrounded the castle still survives.
You can trace Uda's ancestry all the way back to France in the year 1000 AD. She is survived by Raymond Glen Bryan of Texarkana, AR., and a huge no. of grandchildren, & other extended family members.
Uda liked mockingbirds, walnuts, and apple blossoms. She taught my mother how to crochet. She was a member of the Assembly of God Church.
One mystery that I haven't solved yet - is that their was supposed to be an ancestor in our family named Israel Beauchamp. I don't know whether they got Israel confused with the name Palestine, or if there was an ancestor a few generations back farther than Henry Palestine Beauchamp with that name. I remember seeing it in an old family bible when I was about 8 years old. No one remembers this in the family, and Uda has long since passed away... so I can't ask her.
Uda was 81 years old when she passed away.
She passed away in Linrock Nursing Home with her son Elmo by her side. Her son Glen was there with her also, but had stepped out for a moment not knowing that she would be gone so soon. He was very sad about having missed being there with her at the time of her passing.
Uda had been living at 615 Locust St. in Texarkana, AR. before she went into Linrock Nursing Home. She had a fall, and went into the hospital for awhile. After her stay in the hospital she went to Linrock Nursing Home, and passed away shortly thereafter. I think she was only in Linrock for about one year.
Her cause of death while she was staying in Linrock had something to do with her heart. I couldn't read the doctor's handwriting on her death certificate. My parents had told me that she had brain cancer, and a few other types of cancer.
