Mattie D. Eudy1

b. April 1900
Birth*April 1900Mattie D. Eudy was born in April 1900 in Kentucky.1 
(Granddaughter) Relationship NoteOn the census of 1900 a child named "Mattie" was identified as a granddaughter of Lucinda and William Harrison Eudy. That Mattie was born in April of 1900 in Kentucky and was one month old. Then, on the 1910 census, a child named "Mattie", who was born about 1895 in Kentucky, was enumerated as a daughter of Lucinda and William Harrison Eudy. We believe that she also was actually a granddaughter as Lucinda would have been 55 years of age at her birth and the couple already had a daughter named "Mattie". (As a side note, their grandson George, who was also enumerated with them in 1910, was identified incorrectly as their son.)

So... here's our dilemma. We are not sure if these two "Mattie" granddaughters, Mattie D. Eudy and Mattie Eudy, are separate people or if they are the same person with their ages recorded incorrectly. Additionally, we are unable to identify the parents of either "Mattie". We're hoping someone out there in the internet world will provide the answer for us...1,2

Then, on the 1910 census, a child named "Mattie", who was born about 1895 in Kentucky, was enumerated as a daughter of Lucinda and William Harrison Eudy.

Census US 1900*20 June 1900Lucinda and William Eudy were enumerated on the 1900 census taken on 20 June 1900 in Glasgow, Barren County, Kentucky. William was 63 years of age and worked as a farm hand, and Lucinda was 59 years of age. They rented their house, had been married for 41 years, and Lucinda had given birth to 11 children, all of whom were living. Three of their daughters, a son-in-law, and two grandchildren were enumerated with them in 1900. A married daughter, Mattie E. Jeffries, was there with her husband, Ross Jeffries, who was 23 years of age and worked as a farm hand. His wife Mattie was 17 years old. Two of William and Lucinda's other daughters, Mary E. and Anna A., were single and ages 23 and 21, respectively; and their grandson, George Eudy, who was 6 years old, was also enumerated with the couple in 1900. George's father and stepmother, Nannie and William Riley Eudy, were enumerated that year with George's two siblings, Annie and Thomas, ages 9 and 8 years, respectively, in Robards, Henderson County, Kentucky. A mystery granddaughter, Mattie D. Eudy, was also enumerated with William and Lucinda in 1900. Mattie had been born in April 1900 in Kentucky, was one month old, and we have not been able to identify her parents.2 
Census US 1910*27 May 1910Lucinda and William Eudy were enumerated on the 1910 census taken on 27 May 1910 in Hiseville, Barren County, Kentucky.

A daughter and two grandchildren were enumerated with them in 1910. Their daughter Anna, who was enumerated as Fannie, was single and recorded as 29 years of age, although she was likely about age 33; granddaughter, Mattie, who was recorded as a daughter, was 15 years old and had attended school within the census year; and grandson, George Eudy, who was recorded as a son, was 13 years old and had also attended school with the census year.4

Census US 1900*2 June 1900Nannie and Riley Eudy were enumerated on the 1900 census taken on 2 June 1900 in Robards, Henderson County, Kentucky. Riley was 29 years of age and worked as a section hand, and Nannie was 23 years of age. They rented their house and reported they had been married for 10 years, however Riley was counting the years he had been married to his first wife who had died. He and Nannie had been married for about four years. Nannie had given birth to one child and he was living. Three children were enumerated with the couple in 1900. Their son, Maurice, spelled "Morris" by the census taker, was 3 years old, and Riley's two older children from his first marriage, Annie and Thomas, were ages 9 and 8 years, respectively. Neither of the two older children had attended school within the census year. Riley's younger son George from his first marriage was enumerated with his paternal grandparents, Lucinda and William Harrison Eudy in Glasgow, Barren County, Kentucky. George was 6 years old.4 
Census US 1910*27 April 1910Nannie and William R. Eudy were enumerated on the 1910 census taken on 27 April 1910 in Justice Precinct 1, Mitchell County, Texas. William was 39 years of age and worked as a laborer doing odd jobs, and Nannie was 33 years of age.

Census US 1920*4 March 1920Nannie and William R. Eudy were enumerated on the 1920 census taken on 4 March 1920 in Cisco, Eastland County, Texas. William, who was enumerated using his initials W. R., was 49 years of age and a telephone industry patrolman, and Nannie was 43 years of age. The couple's son Maurice, and his wife Sopha (Belknap) Eudy, were enumerated with them in 1920. Maurice was 23 years of age and a painter, and Sopha was also age 23, A roomer was also enumerated in the Eudy household in 1920. Jess Scarborough was 30 years of age and worked as a scout for an oil company.9 
(Father) Census US 19304 April 1930Nannie and William R. Eudy were enumerated on the 1930 census taken on 4 April 1930 in the household of their son and daughter-in-law, Sopha and J. M. Eudy, at 313 E. 21st Street, Cisco, Eastland County, Texas. William was 58 years of age and worked as a lineman for the telephone company, and Nannie was 53 years of age.10 
(Father) Arrested and Charged13 November 1938His son J. M., also known as Pete, surrendered to police after his friends, L. L. Powell, 25, and Rex Holt, 24, both residents of Cisco, were arrested on 13 November 1938 in Fort Worth, Texas, and charged with automobile theft and armed robbery of a service station. Pete Eudy had left the car a few minutes before Powell and Holt were arrested and knew he was being sought in connection with the crime. The two men initially in custody readily admitted their part in the robbery, blaming whisky for their complicity. The men had stolen the car in Cisco, Eastland County, Texas and driven it to Stamford, in Jones County, Texas where they committed the robbery, then were apprehended with the car in Fort Worth.11,12,13,14,15 
(Father) Criminal Conviction30 January 1939At his son's trial on 30 January 1939 in District Court, Anson, Jones County, Texas, J. M. Eudy, 42, pleaded guilty to the 13 November armed robbery of a filling station in west Stamford and blamed his entanglement with the law on his two companions. Eudy told the court he had a wife and seven children and had understood he was accepting a ride to Fort Worth when he left his home with Rexford Holt and L. L. Powell. Those two men, the newspaper wrote, were currently in jail in default of bond, pending trial in connection with the same robbery.

Subsequently, Eudy testified, he was informed the automobile in which he rode was stolen. He said his companions told him they were bound not for Fort Worth but El Paso, where a market assertedly awaited the car. Eudy said they drove a circuitous route to Stamford where a filing station was robbed, and then fled, but not to El Paso. The trio drove to Oklahoma City, failed to sell the automobile because they were without proper papers, then finally went to Fort Worth. He said he left his companions only 15 minutes before their arrest and later surrendered "to face the music."

The jury, which was required in a trial on a capital offense even when the plea was guilty, sentenced Eudy to five years in state prison.11,12,13,14,15

Because his granddaughter, Juliet Evans, to whom a legacy of $200 was left in the said will, having lately deceased, he hereby revoked that legacy and distributed, gave and devised, as additional sums, the said $200 to members of his family also listed as beneficiaries in his will, as he described in the codicil.1
