Notes for Benjamin Ives BROCKETT
Death records: From Carmi, White, Illinois. Tombstone West Union Cemetery.
Birth: White Co. History, of 1883, P.716, Says he is a native of South Carolina,
and all census records give that as his place of birth. The family
Bible of his father, William E. Brockett, gives his date of birth.
Marriage: The family Bible gives date, but not place of marriage.
The date has been interpreted by most people as 1809, but he had two daughters
born before that date and they were strictly religious people. I therefore
went back to examine the film carefully. What looks like a 9 is really an old
fashioned 7. My problem was solved but many mistakes have been perpetuated
in later records because of this.
Death: There were two tombstones in West Union Cemetery, when I first visited
in 1985, but in 1990 I could find only the newer one put up by his family later
and which included his wife, Elizabeth and her dates. I have photos of both
stones. In the 1870 census of White Co., Illinois,which was recorded on
30 July, he was living with his son, William and family, and his age was 95.
West Union Cemetery Location...... From Carmi, Illinois,
775E Junction to 1200N, right up over railroad tracks. Go to 600E (about two
miles). Turn left and go to cemetery.
Benjamin and Elizabeth started West Union Church.
Notes for Elizabeth DICKISON
Some of the following notes taken from Mabel H. Wallace, Provo,
Utah in 1992.
Birth: I have only census records which give her place of birth as North
Carolina.
The date on her tombstone which was put up much later, long after her death and
the death of her husband, gives the date of 1788, which I believe to be in
error. The family Bible (see note with husband) says she was 9 years younger
than he and all census records bear out this age difference, so I have put her
birth as 1784.
Death: The only record I can find is the tombstone for her and her husband in
West Union Cemetery, White Co., Illinois.
Nickname was Betsy.
Children of Benjamin Ives BROCKETT and Elizabeth DICKISON were as follows:
14 i Minerva C3 BROCKETT, born 19 Aug 1808 in , Smith, Tennessee; buried in Brownsville, White, Illinois, West Union Cem. She married on 23 Dec 1830 in , White, Illinois Samuel I LOGAN, born 7 Sep 1804 in , Kentucky; died 15 Nov 1855 in , White, Illinois, son of William R LOGAN and Fanny (---). The following notes were copied from data of Mabel Wallace, Provo, Utah Birth: Entry in William Brockett Family Bible, gives her age at marriage as 22 years, 4 months, and 4 days, which figures to 19 Aug 1808. She was probably born in Smith Co., Tennessee. Where the family seems to have been living before moving to Illinois. Marriage: She married Samuel Logan 23 Dec 1830 according to above mentioned Bible. The marriage record of White Co., Ill (V.1, P.65) gives only the date of license, 21 Dec 1830. (FHL #977,069). Death: No stone remains in West Union Cemetery, White Co., Ill, but there is a space beside her husband, whose stone is still standing.
15 ii Mariah T3 BROCKETT, born 19 Sep 1809 in , Smith, Tennessee; died 22 Oct 1853. She married on 21 Jun 1832 in , White, Illinois Robert Andrew ROSS, born 26 Jun 1802 in Columbus, Franklin, Ohio; died 27 Dec 1859. Birth: Entry in the William Brockett family Bible, probably written by her father Benjamin Brockett, gives her age at marriage as 22 years, 9 mons, 2 days, which figures to 19 Sep 1809. She was probably born in Smith CO., Tennessee. Where her family seemed to be living before they moved to Illinois. Death: Tombstone in West Union Cemetery, White Co., Ill., gives her birthdate as 1811, which I believe to be an error since all other records indicate 1809.

18 v Emily M3 BROCKETT, born 3 Apr 1815 in , Saline, Illinois; died 15 Jul 1892 in Enfield Twp, White, Illinois.

Had Malaria fever for four weeks. Saline County is now part of Gallatin County Illinois. Birth: White Co., History gives the year of 1816 which makes her only 10 months older than her brother, William. Her tombstone gives the date of 1814, while the White Co., register of deaths says she was 77 years old at death in 1892 which would gave a birthdate of 1815. Her descendant concur in the 1815 date. Marriage record, White Co., Illinois, Vol.1, P.127. (FHL #977,068) White Co., Illinois, Register of Deaths, V.1, P.188 (FHL #977,065) and her tombstone in West Union Cemetery, White Co., Illinois.

Notes for Frederick B BROCKETT
Buried in Private Cemetery section 8 Southeast corner. Effingham, Effingham
County, Ill. Directions to get to Robinson Cemetery: From U S 45, by turning at
the Mason Eberle road west 1 1/4miles north,then east 3/4 mile to the Macklin
gate which is just across the road from the old Ford Robinson. Copied from
page 104 of the "Effingham Past and Present book".
Martin K. Robinson makes report to court and asks for more time to make final
settlement of estate of Fredereick B. Brockett, September 19, 1859 FHL
#1,009,563.
Martin K. Robinson was administrator of F.B. Brockett estate. Martin reported
there were no further assets. Report accepted and estate settled Jan 24, 1861,
FHL #1009563.
Author has many document records of Frederick B Brockett estate
settlement by Martin K. Robinson.
Frederick B and a Mr. Lipsword, were the first settlers in Effingham County,
Illinois. From History of Union Twp., Effingham County, Illinois. This Twp
was settled in 1829 by Frederick Brockett who entered land, cleared of 40 acres
put up first mill. He was the only miller in this locality for some years.
So he was an important factor in the development of this locality for men
coming to him with their grain. They were influenced by the opportunites offered
and
remained to build homes. Frederick espoused the cause of education, started a
school, and as he could not get a teacher, taught the first pupils himself. At
the first election he was elected J.P. and administered justice for many years
with impartial vigor. The following material was taken from the Effingham
County History 1883 book of "Portrait and Biographical Records" of
Effingham.Jasper,and Richland Counties of Illinois. Fred Brocketts' wife died
and some years afterwards he made up his mind to marry again, and began to cast
about him for a suitable helpmate. He went into the matter much as he would
have embarked in any other business enterprise. He mounted his horse and
traveled from neigherbood to neigherbood, and everywhere his inquiries were for
some " good looking, middle-aged widow'oman, who wanted to marry," that he was
" out on the hunt of a wife, and would like to find such a 'oman". Some distance
south of here he made his usual inquiries, and was informed that about twenty
miles back was the very woman who would fill the bill, that she was sensible,
practical, and had plenty of the world's goods. He turned and retraced his
steps,and went to see the woman. Afterwards, when asked why he did not marry
her, he said "she wouldn't do at all", that he "didn't want any such little,
crooked, dried-up 'oman as that. But we are told that "time, patience and
perservence will accomplish all things", so he finally succeeded in finding a
woman to suit his tastes in all respects.

Children of James BROCKETT and Hollan Ann VENTRESS were as follows:
52 i James3 BROCKETT, born 1809. Death:Killed by falling tree, while family was enroute to Illinois, from Tennessee, at about 12 years old. This is family tradition information. He was buried along the road and his family continued on their trip.
53 ii Frances3 BROCKETT (Twin), born 13 Dec 1812. She married on 21 Aug 1830 William M GRIER/GREER. Nickname was Fanny.
54 iii Elizabeth3 BROCKETT (Twin), born 13 Dec 1812 in , South Carolina; died 24 Aug 1916 in , White, Illinois. She married on 26 Dec 1833 in , White, Illinois George STORY, born 1810 in , North Carolina; died Mar 1863 in , White, Illinois, son of Robert STORY and Hannah (---). Census 1910 states Elizabeth as age 97 years, in White County, Illinois. She lived to be 103 years 8 months and 11 days. Her nickname was Aunt Betty. She was the oldest resident of White County, Illinois, when she passed away. Aunt Elizabeth (Betty) Story, the oldest resident in White County, or possibly in Southern Illinois, passed peacefully away at her home near Brownsville early last Thursday morning, August 24, 1916, after an illness of more than two weeks. We had mentioned in our paper a few weeks ago that she was quite ill, but since that time she had revived and her family had hopes that she would recover. In recording this death, we chronicle the closing chapter of the life of one of our most noted person that ever resided in our midst, partly due to her advanced age. Aunt Betty was born in South Carolina and had she lived until the thirteeneth day of December she would have been 104 years old. When she was a infant, her parents migrated to Tennessee and located in Smith County. In the year 1818 she came to Illinois with her parents and settled West of what is now Brownsville. Aunt Betty was then six years old and remembered attending preaching in her Uncle Bill's mill shed. She was afterwards baptized in his brick house and went to school and church in a log house. About forty rods Southeast of the present site of West Union Church is a spot of earth which marks the exact place of the first pioneer school house and playground then used for Church. Mrs. Story's maiden name was Brockett being a daughter, and the oldest child of James Brockett, who many years ago resided in Heralds Prairie Township, and on the farm later owned by Mr. Kinchel Austin. Aunt Betty's old home was about 3 1/2 miles Northwest of Brownsville where she had lived for about 80 years. She was married to Mr. George Story in 1833. Her husband died many years ago, but such was her veneration for his memory, that she never married again. They were the parents of ten children; six boys and four girls. The four girls; Martha Ann, Hannah Jane, Elizabeth H. and Sarah A. and two of the boys Andrew T. and George J. are still living. The daughters and one son, George J., who have never married made their home with their aged mother. Her father's family was a large one, being six girls and five boys. All of her sisters and four brothers are dead. Her youngest brother, Alexander, who was born April 12, 1835, is still living and attended his sister's funeral. The picture that we present with this sketch is a good one. It shows the strength of character and is a splendid speciman of the magnificent womanhood of more than half a century ago, the time that tried the souls of men and women, and developed a character worthy of the gods. That beautiful type of woman has passed away. It will never return. The present age, with its follies and fashions, cannot produce it. In comparison with the girlhood of this grand old woman, the girls of today are mere doll babies, without physique, energy, or power of endurance. The subject of this sketch had lived more than a century. When we contemplate the wonderful changes during that period, we can have but a faint conception of the experiences of her life, how with her, "old things have passed away and all things become new." Few of us fully appreciate how great a blessing such a one was to the young, how much was to be learned from her story of early life, and now her lips are sealed in death, and the romantic history of pioneer days drift into the silence of forgetfullness. We have to publish the life history of old people. They connect the past with the present. They are the relics of a generation almost forgotten. They possess treasures of knowledge not to be found in books. They know the unpublished history of our country. They came in personal contact with a life which, to us, is a romantic dream. They knew this country as a vast wilderness, saw the red man in his savage state, lived on the wild game of the forest, and experience all the privations of pioneer life. Aunt Betty had seen many changes in this county since she came here with her parents, a child six years of age. think of the many important inventions which have been born since she saw the light of day. Think of the hardships she had to endure to assist in settling up this wilderness of a century ago. Today we have railroads and all other modern conviences. When she came here we had nothing except a vast expanse of wooden country, thinly settled, ignorant of all the many modern conveniences which the woman of today enjoy. In the past few years of her life her relatives and friends remembered her with birthday celebrations at which time big dinners were given and hundreds of people gathered at her home to see her, hear her talk and to join her in celebrating the anniversary of her birth. At one time she was given a postcard shower at which time she received more than 1,300 cards, 277 letters, 8 packages containing presents, cards from all parts of the country, one in particular from ex-President Theodore Roosevelt. These she enjoyed very much. But she has celebrated her last birthday. Her great life closed when the angel of death touched her and her sweet spirit took its flight to her God in heaven who gave it. In the light, not of the sun, neither of the moon, we see her beyond the fields of fadeless asphodel, under the waving palms, beside the still waters bordered with silver lillies. These may be merely figures, but they bear a precious meaning to yearning hearts made for the deep household loves; hearts that will not be comforted because the Angel of the House is missing. Impressive funeral services were held at the Old Sharon Church at 11 o'clock Friday morning conducted by Rev. Frank Marlin, assisted by Revs. William Hemphill, O. F. Culver, W. W. Kemper and W. H. Shook. The pall bearers were the great grandsons of the deceased, sons of Rev. and Mrs. Luther Simmons, Mr. and Mrs. Monroe Story, and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Story. Interment in cemetery near the church. A large crowd of relatives and friends were present at the funeral to pay their last respects to their departed friend among whom were her aged children, the one daughter who was about 80 years old and the others who had passed the seventy mark. They will miss this old mother and they wept at her funeral and sowas their grief. At the close of the funeral all that was mortal of this grand old mother in Israel was tenderly carried to the silent city, where by the side of a devoted husband she now rests in peace. [From the Carmi Tribune-Times, Carmi, Illinois - August 24, 1916] Researchers comments: I question some of the things in these articles. James (her father) was just a small child when William E. Sr. and Martha Patsy Ives Brockett left York County, South Carolina for Tennessee. So I don't see how Elizabeth could have been in South Carolina. It states she was 6 years old when her parents went to Illinois, which would have been in 1818. I feel she was born in Smith County, Tennessee. Author has not found anyone that has James and Hollan Ann Brockett's Family Bible records.

Notes for Calvin BROCKETT
Lived in Iowa in 1910 census. Went to Runnells, Polk County, Iowa in spring of
1848 from Effingham County, Illinois.
Excerpts from Calvin's lengthy obituary: The death of Calvin Brockett, which
occurred at his home on January 20, 1911, removes another of the early settlers
of Polk County. His once rugged constitution weakened with the weight of years
and although not sick, the dawn of the eighty-ninth year of his life found him
rapidly declining, which continued until death ensued at 89 years, 1 month, 26
days. Mr. Brockett was a native of Tennessee, being born on a plantation 40
miles North of Nashville on the Cumberland River in Smith County. Of his early
childhood Mr. Brockett retained pleasing memories, the best of which was being
toted about the plantation in a cotton picking basket by an old kind-hearted
colored "mammy". When he was ten years old his parents removed to White
County, Illinois, and a few years later to Effingham County. In the spring of
1848, with his wife, two small children and such household goods as could be
dispensed with in a new unsettled country, came by team to Polk County, turning
their backs to Eastern homes, with all their ties of youth, comfort and
consanguinty, slowly patiently wended their way across the wild, trackless
Western prairies to build a new home. To such early settlers is ever due most
honorable mention, for it was they who laid the conerstones and foundation of
all the country's history and prosperity. The state of Iowa, and Fort Des
Moines were then but two years old. He engaged in the mercantile business for
a short while at Lafayette in partnership with a brother-in-law, Riley Howard.
He purchased a land claim of James Myler a mile and a half West of where
Runnels has since been established and named his farm Valley View, from the
extended river valley in all directions. In due time he received a government
patent for the land signed by President James Buchanan, and resided there until
1901, when he and wife and daughter Mary moved to Runnells. During the
Des Moines river flood of 1851, which proved the undoing of Lafayette, many of
its inhabitants sought the higher ground of his farm.
Calvin Brockett was the true type of pioneers of Polk County, a good citizen,
temperate in habits, by inheritance aristocratic in ideals, but democratic in
taste; a man of good mind, quick sympathies, kind hearted and generally
cheerful. He had a keen sense of humor, loved a witty or eloquent speech and
always felt a lively interest in politics, keeping himself well informed as to
public affairs; served as Justice of the Peace and other township offices. Son
of a slave holder. he was a whig, abolitionist and republican. During the
Kansas free soil agitation his farm was a substation on the "Underground
Railroad" to Canada for the colored people.

Notes for Michael S BROCKETT
Came with his parents to White County in 1846.
After he married they lived on a farm near Enfield, Illinois.
He fought in the Civil War, Co F. 56 Illinois Infantry, was a Sergeant.
He was one of three survivors of the ill fated General Lyon steamer at
Willmington, N. C., March 31, 1865. Brother Mathew J. lost his life
on same ship along with 401 others. On March 31, a cask of kersene on the
upper deck was broken during a tornado, and the fluid drenched every deck, and
finally reached the furnace, when everything took fire.
He was Assessor and Treasurer of
White County, Illinois, from 1865 to 1869. He belonged to the IOOF, Cumberland
Presb. Church, Enfield, Illinois. Tombstone and death records of White County
give Michael S. Brockett as born 23 Jul 1846 and died 23 Dec 1924. His birth
date per his "Declaration for Increase of Pension" shows his birth as 7 Mar 1840
in Effingham County, Illinois. Birth date in the White County, History,
published 1883, lists his birth date as 31 mar 1839.
He is listed as 6' 1/2" dark complexion, black
hair and brown eyes. So from these three documents I believe Tombstone dates
are incorrect. In his Declaration for Pension Increase he describes how he was
injured. It states as follows...Injury to back and resulting partial
paralysis, which was contracted on or about the 31st day of March 1865, while he
was being rescued by the crew of the Steam Ship Gen. Sedgwick, from the wreck
caused by the burning of the Steamer General Lyon from which he had escaped-
having been pulled on board the Sedgwick by ropes around his body, with two men
hanging to his feet.

Our old timers this week say, the greatest things in their lives are their 12 children. They recalled many times when their children were small, what a struggle it was to feed and clothe them. As they look at it in restrospect, it doesn't seem so difficult now. They are so proud of their children and grandchildren and can't imagine what life would be like without a houseful of children around. This week we honor Wirt Residents, JoB. and Laverne Brockett as our "Old Timers" of the week. Joe was born August 22, 1904 at Ward, Ark. His parents were Edgar L. and Gertrude Clark Brockett, both natives of Brownsville, Illinois. When Joe was only a few months old, his parents moved to Poplar Bluff, Missouri. They were living near the small town of Harvell when, Joe started to school. He attend the one room Pleasant Valley School which was about 1 1/2 miles from thier farm. Joe had 4 sisters; Virginia Morrow and Esther Coleman who both live in Poplar Bluff and twin sisters, Vera Hayman of Nellysville, Mo. and Vida Stroud of St. Louis. He grew up and helped his father farm. When he was 20 years old he left home and when to Norphlet, Ark., and got a job for Pure Oil Co. I ask him what prompted his moving to Arkansas, he told that he had a friend who was working in the oilfields there. Laverne Strickland Brockett was born April 1, 1908 at Vivian, La. Her parents were Jim and Lettie Smith Strickland. When Laverne was about 16 years of age her parents separated and her mother took the two children to Norphlet, Ark., where her older brother lived. Laverne went to work as a waitress in a bording house. She worked there 2 years and when the owners had to go to California, Laverne took over and ran it herself. It was while she was running the boarding house that a young man, Joe Brockett started taking his meals there. She recalled the first date she had with him. She looked outside one day and saw a fancy new Model T. Roadster sitting in front of the boarding house. She remarked to a friend that she would like a date with the owner of that car. Joe overheard her remarkand since he owned the car, he asked her for a date. That was the beginning of their courtship. They went together almost a year and were married Feb. 25, 1928 at Cameden, Ark. She recalls the years she worked in the boarding house. This was before you could buy sliced bread. there wer not the modern conviences that we have today. She would fix 30-40 lunches every morning. The men joked with her that Joe always had a better lunch than the rest of them. The Brocketts lived in Norphlet until 1932 when they were transferred to Tulsa for a short time. They made several moes between the years 1932 and 1940. They recalled vividly when Franklin D. Roosevelt became president of the United states. All the banks were closed for a short time. It was during this time that Laverne lost her mother. They didn't have any cash and no one would cash a check for them. They found a friend who had some extra cash and loaned them $100. The Brocketts moved to Seminole and lived their for 18 years. It was during these years that Laverne told of experiencing one of the most anxious times in her life. She was expecting Eddie her next to youngest child. Her pregnancy had been difficult and twhen she was about 7 months she was injured in a gas stove explosion and had to be hospitalized for 2 weeks. The older girls took turns staying out of school and keep the 3 preschoolers while she was in the hospital. Upon her release, the doctor warned her that she must stay in bed or she might lose her baby. She made arrangements for a lady to come and help her at home. After letting the older girls leave for school the following morning, the lady did not show up for work. Mrs Brockett felt she must get up and take care of the little ones. When she stood on her feet, she started Hemorraging. She knew she had to get help. She wrote a note telling th groceryman to get the doctor for her. She told Warren the oldes of the preschoolers, to run fast and take the note to grocery store which was about a mile. As she waited for the doctor, she said she prayed for God save her baby and spare her life. She said a million thouts went through her mind as to how Joe would take care of the children if something should happen to her. The doctor and the ambulance arrived in a short time and Eddie was born 2 weeks later, a month premature but healthy as could be. She said they were lucky that their children were healthy. With their 13 children, they only had 1 broken arm, one case of pneumonia and 1 case of diptheria. The Brocketts had 13 children. They lost one, Warren in an Air Force accident in 1962.

Notes for Louis Albert BROCKETT
Occupation:Was a professional baseball player for the New York Yankees.
Nickname was King.
The following article came from "The Sunday Look- Page 7", September 15, 1957.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
By J Robert Smith.
Lewis A Brockett sits in the sun at 77 and hopes to see one more World Series.
He's a little partial, you see, because 50 years ago he signed with the New
York Yankees.
He turns in his rocker and looks dreamily into sapce. The wind riffles thin
wisps of silky grey hair on a head long bronzed by the years in the sun as a
ball player and farmer. He uncoils his still-lanky frame and stretches out-
relaxed like - his brown, muscular hands behind his head.
He can hear his wife back ther in the kitchen preparing the noon meal; a
granddaughter playing in the parlor. A cricket chirps the approach of autumn.
An old man is at peace with the world, at home in Norris City, Illinois.
He sits there recalling the days when he struck out Ty Cobb-- The 1909 season
when he won 10 games for the fifth-place Yankees, lost eight... earlier days in
the old Kitty League, earning $75 a month and thinking he was lucky... the year
the flu epidemic wiped out his family, taking his wife Rosie and the two boys
with a week.
A neighbor walks past and calls out a cheery "good mornin." The granchild
comes out on the porch. The old man beams.
The child's presence reminds him how lucky he was, after all... faling in love
again, starting another family.. the years he coached baseball at Illinois
College and his team won the Championship in the school's 100th year.
It has been a good life, he says. Brocket born July 23 1880, at Carmi, was a
farm boy who started playing with the Brownsville team in 1898. fifty-nine
years ago folks were certain of only two things about the roads. They were
either muddy or dusty, so the teams usually traveled by train.
One day the Carmi Team played at Brownsville and Brockett made it so hard on th
visitors they signed him up for the 1899 season. They paid him $75 a month and
he had to worry about his room and board. It was a glorious life, playing in
Fairfield, Evansville, Harrisburg, Eldorado and Lawrenceville. That first
season with Carmi he won 25 and lost three, so Fairfield lured him away.
He kept on winning so many games that Cairo signed him for the Kitty League.
With Cairo in 1903 he won 26 and lost four and caught the eye of a Yankee
scout. Brockett was wise to the wiles of basebvall. he turned to the scout
and said, "I'll sign providing New York Drafts me at the end of the season".
The scout hemmed and hawed. Later he told Brockett, "there won't be a Kitty
League next year, so you might as well sign with us".
Brockett turned in his chair and grinned. They thought they'd get me for
nothing! Meanwhile, buffalo had offered me a contract, I wrote to the National
Commision and asked what I should do. They advised me to sign with Buffalo.
He set 'em on fire in the International League in 1904. Winning 25 and losing
seven, he pitched the first game of the Little World Series with St. Paul and
won it, 3 to 1. Buffalo went on to win the Championship.
He had a fast ball, a good curve, and a change of pace that paid off in the
pinches. He was earning $300 a month, enjoying spring training in Georgia,
winning a name in baseball, and still playing "hard to get" with the Yankees.
Three hundred a month was big money in those days and Brockett was saving some
cash. When the season ended he always hurried home to Brownsville. Waiting
for him there was his sweetheart, Rosie Pool.
They were married in 1906. Ballplayer and bride enjoyed Georgia in the spring
and Brockett helped pitch Buffalo to another pennant that year. The Yankees
looked at his 28-to-6 record and finally gave up. They paid $6,000 for the
Brownsville flash, who was nicknamed "King" Brockett.
The Yankees sent him to Monteal, later to Neward, and Brocket kept up his
winning ways. Every time the Yankess mentioned his coming to New York he
demanded $350 a month.
Those were happy days, 50 years ago, when Brockett played and traveled with the
team. Rosie went along, of course, to Montreal, Newark, and New York, and
headed South with him every spring. Therei first son, Hayward was born in 1907
and a year later Harold came along.
I guess, he said that pitching duel with jersey City's Ed Lafitte is what
brought the Yankees around.
With a wif3e and two children to support, Brockett had buckled down to his work
with Newark. He had to impress the Yankees enough make them take himon at
$350.
He won game after game, then one Sundeay in Jersey City, he and Lafitte stood
the crowd on its ear! For 19 inning the pitching duel lasted and with the
score 0 to 0, the game was called because of darkness.
New yYork raised his salary $50 a month and in 1909 Brockett took his place out
on the hill at 168th St. with such Yankee greats as Jack Chesbro, Hal Chase,
Frank LaPorte and Russ Ford.
Asked about his greatest thrill in baseball, Brockett leaned back and looked at
the Ceiling, trying to dredge up memories out of the past.
I had a lot of them, he said, and one was the opening game of the season in
Washington. A left-hander was pitching for New Yourk and it was in the third
Inning. The Yankees were trailing 4 to 0, the bases were loaded with Senators
and there were no outs. What a spot. That's when they put me on the mound. I
struck out three and held the Senators Hitless. We lost the game, 4 to 3 but I
flet like I had won a personal victory.
Brockett won 10 and lost eight that year. and when he asked for more money for
the 1910 season he was refused. Brockett rejected a contract, and spent the
next year farming.
The Yankees lured him back in 1911 but his arm was "kinda bad" and he won only
two that year and lost five. In 1912 he returned to Buffalo.
At 33 Brockett was a little tired and it was time to settle down with Rosie and
the boys. Hayward and Harold were ready for school, so the Brocketts returned
to Norris City, where Brockett farmed and took turns managing the Norris City
and Harrisburg teams.
World War I and the influenza epidemic were raging five years later. One night
a former farm hand came visiting from Enfield. He had the flu and stayed all
night. Rosie died Oct. 23 and a week later Brockett lost his boys.
The rocker squeaks. The old man can hear his wife in the kitchen - The pretty
young widow he married 37 years ago Callie Hill was her name, and she gave him
a new life, encouraging him in his farming, his ball club management, his
coaching at Illinois College.
Lewis Brockett can smell his dinner. He turns in the Doorway. "Yeah" he
calls,
"there's a big difference in baseballs too. Why you can knock a ball 100 feet
farther today than you could 50 years ago. It's the rubber in them".
Before he closes the door, he calls out, "I'd like to see 'em hit an old time
ball like I did in Buffalo. I smacked a sizzler so hard into left center
field
it struck the Bull Durham sign. The Bull Durham people paid me $50 for that
hit".

Don was checking into a motel in Knob Noster, Missouri when the lady behind the counter noticed the Brockett name. Janice Carnes mentioned her maiden name was Brockett, so they exchanged some data trying to make connection, to no avail. Janice sent the information to her father Wendell who in turn gave it to your author. I was able to make the connection. It turns out that they are 4th cousins 1 generation removed. Common ancestor is William E. Brockett Sr. So it is a little easier to understand Don comes through Frederick B. Brockett's line, Wendell and your author come through Benjamin Brockett's line.
