      During the American Civil War Bud's family lived in Carroll County, GA. One of his stories of this time was of how the Yankee soldiers came to their home and poured out the family's flour into the yard. He remembered his Mother going out after the soldiers left and using a spoon to scoop up as much of the flour as she could save so she'd be able to feed her family.

      Around 1890 - 1895 Bud moved his family to Nacogdoches County, Texas and they settled in the Swift area. Many of Bud's siblings and their families also came to Nacogdoches County at this time and settled in Garrison and Cushing.

      Bud became the minister at the Swift Baptist Church. He also preached sometimes at Black Jack. See Bud and Martha photo probably taken at Swift Baptist Chruch. Martha is the lady on the left in front of the building. Bud may be the man in the window or the man in front of Martha. If he's the man in front of Martha he had put on weight not seen in all other photos of him.

      Bud often wore rubbers on his arms to hold his sleeves up. He loved to fish and often went out looking for guineau nests.

      Before his death Bud moved from his house nearby into the home of the family of his daughter, Dollie Fulmer, and his grand-daughter Ercille Fulmer Hudman remembered he was always bringing home treats for her after his visits to other family members.

      Martha is remembered as one of the sweetest and kindest people you could ever meet. In her later years she suffered from foot problems developed due to diabetes.

    • Martha died 27 June 1930 while staying with her daughter Emma in Jacksonville, TX. Bud died on 30 July 1945. They are buried together at the Swift Cemetery, Nacogdoches County, Texas.
