With a family of eight children, Pickins and Liza Jane Cason made the overland trip to Texas from South Carolina, in a covered wagon, traveling in all kinds of weather. The five boys and three girls of the couple often assisted in pushing the wagon when it goes in sticky black mud in East Texas during the trip, during which the family became ill. The family settled on Staggs Praire, north of Mineral Wells, in 1871.
Mrs. Cason and the daughters of the family picked cotton from the seed and spun the thread and wove it into cloth to make clothes as most pioneers did. Mrs. Cason was blind for the last few years of her life. Her husband had preceded her in death eight years before. They were Baptists.
