~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ C. W. Elmore was born in 1858 in Iowa. The James Elmore family moved across Iowa, Missouri and Kansas from farm to farm not staying in one place more than 3 or 4 years. C. W. married Alice B. Holaday abt. January 1882 in Carterville, Jasper Co., Missouri. They lived in Nashville, Missouri, just 21 miles North of Joplin, Missouri where both Charles "Charlie" Edward Elmore (1883) and Gladdys Vera Elmore were born. He moved his family to Ingalls, Payne Co., Oklahoma in the Spring of 1890 to care for his mother. His father had died November 30, 1889 after staking a claim in Oklahoma during the land run of April 22, 1889. In the Fall of 1890, he moved his family with his brother to a mining camp in Colorado and may have moved shortly on to Oregon on the Oregon Trail. In February or the Spring of 1893, they moved to the newly plotted town of Orchard, Ft. Bend Co., Texas (Aunt Gladys said they traveled by covered wagon "back on the Oregon Trail"). They arrived with much of the Holaday family. C.W.'s brother-in-law was the railroad agent and helped establish the town of Orchard with lands owned by the railroad. They moved to Somerville, Texas where Alice R. Elmore was born in 1906. They later moved to Rosenberg, Ft. Bend Co., Texas and he was manager of the Plaza Hotel. He had four children: Charles "Charlie" Edward Elmore,Sr., Gladdys "Mini" Vera Elmore, James "Jim" Franklin Elmore, Sr., and Alice Reida Elmore. "C.W." was a "mean" man. After his wife, Alice, died, he became meaner and Jimmy (son) and Alice (daughter) moved out. He was visited by his daughter, Alice, and my mother, Jean, just before he died. Alice had come to cut his long nails and care for him. He died alone at home on Hwy. 36 in Rosenberg, Texas in 1936. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
