Note by Jack Talmadge. Julia (Lobb) Hiett felt that things were too
crude in Missouri for the education of her daughter so at a very early age she was returned to her grandparents to be educated. I have her listed on the 1880 U.S. Census of Hardy Co., W. Va. with Charles Lobb 70 yrs Jane W. 62 years with six sons still at home and one grandaughter 12 years old at school.Sent by Jack Talmadge.
Willa Hiett does not know a great deal. She can remember Aunt Jennie
visiting a couple of times at the home of Evan or William around Houston in
Cabool, Mo. The visits were short.
It seems that Jennie's mother thought there wasn't a school in Missouri in the 1880's fit for her daughter so she was sent back home to Moorefield, W. Vir. to live with her grandfather Charles Lobb. She shows up on the 1880
census of Hardy Co. W. Vir. Moorefield.
Jennie later was sent to Philadelphia for more education and apparently
married someone by the name of Cook. She had some children but I have not
tracked them as yet, but I hope to now that I have finally tied James into
Evan.
Charles and James left home when they were young men and sort of lost
contact with the family.
Years later an undertaken in Kansas City, Mo. contacted Evan and said that James had died or was dying. Evan went to Kansas City, paid the doctor bills and for the funeral. It is supposed that neither Charles or James ever
married.
