• Notes

  Loyd A. Magar, or as Carl Grizzle called him "Papa", was a devout Pentecostal Holiness. He and his wife Berttie Lee met in Ada, Oklahoma and eloped to get married. They honeymooned, picking cotton, in Sanger, Texas when as part of the wedding Shivaree, their wagon got turned over. They moved to Ardmore, Oklahoma, where Papa bought what was to later be a city block. As far back as Carl Grizzle can remember they lived at 402 Wood Street S.E., had a garden and chickens. Carl's earliest recollections were of the "outhouse" back behind the chicken house. Arthel and "Junior" Magar were both construction contractors in California, and they eventually put in an indoor bathroom for them. Papa had one brother (Millard) and one sister (Rosie) who were raised by their uncle because their mother could not take care of them. Their father, a traveling salesman, was killed by a train when his team of horses stopped on the tracks. Their Uncle's name was Charles Wesley Summers and their Aunt's name was Dorinda Elizabeth (Magar) Summers. Papa worked for the Gas company and then the Comet Milling Company. Papa was not well educated but he provided the necessities for his family and when they forced him to retire from the milling company at 65 he went downhill. He had worked hard all his life and did not know what to do with all this "retirement" time. A few years after his retirement, grandma started having trouble with "Alzheimers Disease". Papa could not take care of her anymore therefore they moved in with Florene and Carl Grizzle. Papa died in Presbyterian Hospital and was buried in his home town according to his wishes. ---------- Reference: Carl M. Grizzle, Jr. GEDCOM, 11 December 1995.
