1920-1930 Time Span

~~~~~ During late 1920's...1928, John Daniel Rust left Kansas/Missouri area and returned to Weatherford, Texas to live with sister Virginia and husband Levi Gallaway.
Late one night, John woke with idea of how to create the cotton picker. The idea was born from seeing his grandmother using the spinning wheel and process of smoothly spinning cotton.
John tried the idea in garage of his sister. It is undetermined if Mack was sill living with Virginia or if he returned to help John with invention of the cotton picker. The vision to make the first mechanical cotton picker became a reality. John and Mack were in Louisiana by 1930 demonstrating the first mechanical cotton picker.

Note: The grandmother spoken of in development of cotton picker in research progress. Postulate grandmother may have been an indirect relative, but was seen as grandmother by John Daniel Rust.

Death Certificate... Weatherford, Parker County Texas...Mrs. LA Gallaway...Death June 18, 1936.. age 54... certificate 32669.
-- Lived Weatherford, Texas
*** Father..BD Rust...born Virginia
*** Mother...Susan Burnett...born Virginia
-- Burial Oakland Cemetery, Weatherford, Texas

NOTE:. On death certificate for Virginia Elizabeth Rust Gallaway, her name is listed as on record as MRS LA Gallaway instead of her first and middle name.... Virginia Elizabeth. In addition on the same record, her parents are correct... father~~~ BD Rust and mother~~~Susan Burnett. Update.....01/10/2023. This has created confusion that Mrs. LA was a different person. In addition, the certificate notes year of birth as 1871. Review of census records and her age at time of enumeration confirms her year of birth as 1881, NOT 1871 as noted on death certificate. This confirms Virginia Elizabeth Rust is the same person as MRS. LA Gallaway. And confirms her date of birth on memorial.
