• Notes

  From the Antiquities of England to The Coastal Plains of Texas, A Stockton Family Genealogy III (Copied from a newspaper clipping from the LOMETA REPORTER, Lometa, Texas circa 1942 about Frank A Stockton and his son Norborn Stockton and World War II OUR BUSINESS MEN In most towns of almost any size, there are usually one or two men who are almost indispensable (especially is this true in smaller towns) - - the man or friend, on whom the general public can call at any time fore help, who will always buy whatever is offered for sale, who stands lik the Rock of Gibraltar against letting the unfortunate starve in our midst, who always contributes to any worthy cause for charity or to give a young person a coost along the pathway of life. Such men are the most valuable asset any community has. They have the ability to accumulate some of this world’s goods and manage their own affairs so that their own families do not suffer, and their heart is big enough to take in their fellow men and to reach out the helping hand, to their neighbors, and to help build up their town and community. We have some such as these in Lometa. One such is Frank Stockton. Often I have heard people say. “Frank Stockton is worth moreto this town than the bank would be, for he is always ready to help a fellow who comes to him, and he will always buywhaever anyone brings in for sale, no matter what It may be, and pays more for it than any one else.” Yes, Frank Stockton is worth more to Lometa than a bank. Besides being a good business man and a good Christian citizen, he and his good wife have raised a family of fine children, all of whom are now grown and have gone out into the world to make a place for themselves, and have the esteem and respect of their neighbors. Their fine boy, Norborn (Stockton), like the man he is, has gone to the army that he may do his utmost to defend, his country so that all of us may continue to enjoy the blessings of Liberty and Happiness. Norborn is a favorite here amoung our citizenship, and everyone in Lometa and all this community, realize something of what he had to sacrifice as did his parents too, when he went into the service of our county. But he went, just like many others have done, not asking any favors, or deferment. He just smilingly walked out of the activities of Lometa life, into the strenuous services of his country, asking nothing but a chance to serve his county. When one reflects on what are some of our greatest blessings, what we are privileged to enjoy that many others do not have, and when we remember that theses boys who have gone from out midst, are out there fighting that WE may continue to enjoy these pleasures; this liverty, all this comfort, and we realize that these same boys are offering their very lives, if need be, just so we may continue to live in peace and happiness, it seems to me that we should certainly be willing to do something and everything that is humanly possible that these boys have a bit of recognition for the great sacrifice they are making for us. And not only the boys are making sacrifices - - the Stocktons and all those others who have boys in the Army, I take my hat off to all of them. Frank Stockton, told his boy “I think a very great deal of you son, but I’d rather see you shipped back dead than to know that you were called a slacker, or that you shirked your, duty in any way. You are going out there to win this war and I want you to stay in there and FIGHT! Do now run, but if you are surrounded, lose your gun and can’t find a club to fight with, then use your old pocket knife, and fight as long as you can, but never run or surrender.” Yes, Frank Stockton is worth more than a bank. http://www.geocities.com/houghtonnance/FAStockton.htm "MR. AND MRS. F. A. STOCKTON" (Sude Belle Hooten) "The star actors in this grand event, the celebration of their 50th wedding anniversary/Sunday, May 21, 1950, and really qualify as pioneer settlers. Mr. Stockton was born at Lexington, Lee County, January 17, 1876, but moved to Lometa at the age of sixteen." "Mrs. Stockton, the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. J. W. Hooten, was born at Old Senterfitt, May 17, 1882. Dr. Hooten was the first doctor of Lometa." "The Stockton's were married May 23, 1900. They have four children: Mrs. Leo Page, San Antonio; Mrs. Jack Maxwell, Lometa; Norborne Stockton, Lometa; Mrs. J. M. Nance, Abilene. They have four grand children and two great grand children." "Mr. Stockton (Grandad to all his friends), has been in public business, with ranching as a sideline, 54 years, until 1945, when he sold his modern grocery, market and feed business to Baker and Gribble. Since then he has devoted his entire time to his extensive ranching interests."
