Mother: Laressa Merle SWARTZ |
He was a Foundry Supervisor in the Brewster Company at
Shreveport, LA.
My father invented a type of drill bit, and a friend, Jack
Haliburton, urged him to go in business with him, but my father
decided to stay with the Brewster Co., and they patented his
invention.
My father became severely depressed and was hospitalized in the
Willis Knighton Hospital on the Greenwood Rd in Shreveport, LA.
Once when we lived in Vivian, and again when we lived at 312
Columbia St in Shreveport (Highland Section) . Times got very
tough for my father as the Brewster Co. quit paying him sick
leave. He hated my mama working. She had a job at the Big
Chain Cafeteria in the delicatessen. He had sold his car, and
used to ride a bike to his friends house (the Beddingfields) on
Creswell Ave and play bridge. One morning he shot himself in
the chest with his shotgun while mama was preparing to go to
work. I had just called time as she was worried about being
late. I heard the blast and opened the door. There was deep
red blood on my fathers chest, Mama quickly shut the door. I
found my brother crying on the back porch, he had heard the
blast, and knew what had happened. Many times he told me how
guilty he felt because he and daddy had a confrontation the
night before. I don't remember much after that. We went to
Vivian where a large Wake was held at my Aunt Stell's home. I
stayed at Aunt Cloie's. There was some problem about what I
would wear. At the cemetery we sat in chairs on the front row.
I remember feeling that my father was not in that hole - he was
not there.
Three Corners is a place where Texas, Arkansas, & Louisiana
join. Dan McCants once told me a story about when my father
took him there. Daddy would take me sometimes on his field
trips over red clay roads to oil well derricks. It was very
exciting to me. At that time the Brewster Co. had a warehouse
at Rodessa, between Vivian and Texarkana, and he worked out of
there. Once a terrible tornado struck and destroyed the
building killing one man working there.
Daddy loved to listen to the baseball games on the radio. We
walked on eggshells so as not to disturb him, he really got into
the game. Sometimes he would take us to Caddo Lake swimming
hole. We had huge truck inner tubes to float on, and Joe Doggie
loved to swim with us. Unfortunately after Dad died, mother
loaned "Joe Doggie" to her boss, Capt. Orville Richardson, who
took him on a hunt, he died of a heart attack that night. We
never saw him after he left that day with Capt. Richardson, we
were not taken to the site where he died and do not know where
he was buried. Borther Jack and I were devastated.
Dad was quite remarkable with a baseball-and did a lot of fancy
catching and throwing. He played football in high school and
stayed an extra year to play on the team. Dad had a baseball
contract for a $100 per month in 1927. Mama made daddy quit
baseball because the crowd and the game was rough. See the movie
Ty Cobb and you will have a pretty good idea of how Baseball was
at that time. Texarkana, AR and Shreveport, LA were main
railroad thoroughfares, and many baseball talent scouts were in
the area.
Dad's uncle, Harry Swartz (Brewster), owned a hotel across from
the train station on Louisiana Ave. where all the baseball folks
stayed. My mother lived just down the block. They met one day
while mama and her sister, Nada were out for a walk. Mama and
Nada were on the basketball team in high school and loved to
play. Mama and Dad used to play basketball together when we
were babies.

*Transcription of John Shell's Will received from Elsie Wright,
6/1999. Transcription errors have been preserved. Notable among
these are the spelling of Edmond Shell's name as Edmund and an
obvious problem with the dates of recording and proof (see note
below).
Dan Shell, 1999
(I think the date for the will being proved should be 1819 not
1818, otherwise it was proved before it was recorded. ELW).
