Notes

Lorene Pullin remembers Jr. and Murrel McCarty visiting the farm home near Cost, Gonzales County. They were raising corn at the time. Murrel and Jr. shot rats in the barn.

Lorene Pullin and Ozell Laurence also remember when Murrel fell out of the car as a very young child. Chester and LuElla had been on oil field rounds near Valley View at night. Murrel, age 2 or 3, was asleep in the back seat. The back seat door came open and Murrel fell out. Lorene and Ozell were unsure whether he walked to the nearest gas station or the police picked him up, but he told them his name was "Murrel Duglas." Later the police stopped Chester and LuElla near their home and asked whether they had lost a child. They said thay thought not, but when the police described the coat Murrel was wearing, LuElla realized it was the one she had sewed for him and exclaimed, "Oh my lands, that's my boy."

Murrel was discharged Nov 17, 1945 from U. S. Army as Staff Sergeant 418th Night Fighter Squadron.
