Notes


Tom McCarty came to Texas from Russell Co., Virginia at age 17. Murrel McCarty retells a story told to him that Thomas' last name was Carty until he came to work in Texas for the railroad. He was Irish and the other railroad workers called all Irish men"Mac." Thus he became known as McCarty even though his fathers name was Carty. Murel also tells of stoping at Bristol Virginia and tearing two pages of Carty's from the phone book during one of their vacations. Tom is said to have about 17 siblings (probably all with the Carty last name). Murrel McCarty has an old typed piece of paper (undated) that contains the following information: Thomas Frazier McCarty Sisters: Martha, & Harriet married Pat Bussy. Brothers: Jerry, Floyd an invalid. Born: Dec. 2, 1862, Abington, Va. Russel Co., Va. Anniv. Dec. 20, 1891 Died: Dec. 6, 1941, Electra, Texas & burried same. Family came from County Limbrick Ireland. The only Thomas F. Carty listed in "John P. Carty of Molls Creek" is on page 11 (as born about 1867 in Electra, Texas) with a sister named Martha and a sister named F. Harriet. Harriet married Bob Holbrook but Martha married R. C. Bussey. He is also listed as having brothers Jerry C. and Robert Floyd. There is no reference to an invalid in the family but the number of matching strands makes me certain that this is the same person as Thomas Frazier McCarty that died in Electra, Texas. Buried on Pearl Harbor Day. Obituary (from Nina McCarty's notes): Thomas (Tom) F. McCarty, 80, retired farmer, died in his home at Electra at 11 O'clock Saturday morning. He had been ill for the last year. A native of Russell County Virginia, McCarty came to Texas 50 years ago. He became a resident of Electra in 1916. Survivors include 2 daughters, Mrs. George Rohlfing of Fort Worth & Miss Rita McCarty of Electra; and four sons, Chester McCarty of Oklahoma, Leo, Raymond, and Ivan of Electra. Rites will be conducted from the Electra M. E. Church with Rev. T. L. Hoffstutler and Rev. E. H. Coburn officiating. Interment will be in the new Electra Cemetery under the direction of the James B. Tollen Funeral Home. @MI99@
