DOLLIE FAYE GIST MEMORIES
"Manie" and "Sant" met after she and a girlfriend flirted with him a little. A few friends were near where Cedar Creek joins the Brazos River one Sunday afternoon a year or two before the turn of the century. Sant dipped up a bucket of water, then set it down, momentarily, to pick up a few sticks of firewood. When he returned, the redhead, Manie, and a girlfriend had turned over the bucket; so that Sant had to get more water from the creek, amid not a few giggles, teasing questions and subtle antics. However, Manie – short for Mary Janie – and Sanford Clyde or Sant, did have a courtship and were married by Brother T.S. Bomar on December 28, 1898, in Whitney, Texas of Hill County. She was nineteen while he was twenty-two at the time of their simple country wedding. Family from both sides attended. Their first daughter, Mary Mae, was born at Whitney, Texas on February 15, 1900.
Soon the couple moved to Noodle, Texas in Jones County and were residing there when their second daughter was born – Lura Gist on February 27, 1903. Later the Gists settled at Knott, Texas in Howard County, where they grew cotton for their livelihood. The Gist's youngest child, Dollie Faye Gist, was born in Martin County, Texas nine years after Lura on September 25, 1912.
Lura met her future husband George Sinclair in Abilene while visiting Mae and Grady Castle. George Sinclair's folks owned land across the street from Mae's and Grady's property on Mockingbird Lane in Abilene, Texas. They married 2 May 1925 in Big Springs, TX and settled in Odessa, Texas.
Their children:
George Ralph Sinclair, Jr b. 14 May 1926 m. Murrell Roebuck
Lura Doris Sinclair b. 6 July 1927 m. Edward Eugene Crabtree
Margaret Joan Sinclair b. 19 Dec 1929 m. Charley Roy Ward, Jr.
Richard Gist Sinclair m1. Sammy Sue Turney, m2. Vannah Lee Alex
