A few records and articles of descendants of Susie Teague (1881-1952) and her husband Bogayn Miller (1877-1955)

On December 21, 1916, their eldest child, Eleathia (1901-1981) married Urban William Eddy (1897-1965)



In Apache, Oklahoma, on page 3, The Apache Review newspaper on Friday, January 3, 1941, spoke of dinner guests of Susie and Bogayn.  Love small town papers!

Joseph Vasil's 1942 World War II draft card--front and back:


ODE TO LEONARD, TEXAS:

The first birth location I find for Joseph's wife Neva is on her Social Security application. In September 1943 she had filled out the requisite forms. The excerpt posted online shows "Leonard Hunt, Texas" as her birthplace. (And it's missing a needed comma before the county name of Hunt, tsk tsk).

Try finding a town or ghost town in Texas near Hunt County with the name "Leonard!" 

I couldn't. 



Later census records only showed "Texas" as a birth location. So off to the many Texas birth indexes, I go. 

In Ancestry's database entitled Texas, U.S., Birth Certificates, 1903-1932,  a search for Miller babies born in Hunt County in 1911 resulted in:



Isn't it beautiful! Finding proof is always a treat. 

Now, let's dig in:

      The Texas State Board of Health's Certificate of Birth for
      Town: Celeste
      County:  Hunt
      D.O.B.  Aug 29
      Name: Miller #36882

      Mother's name:  Susie Teague, American
      Parents' Home:  Celeste, Tex

So, Baby Girl Neva, how did your mother happen to be in Celeste, Texas when she went into labor? Were your parents en route to another town? Visiting family or friends nearby? 

Wikipedia has a page on Celeste, Texas. Note which famous veteran from World War II once lived in Celeste:
