Did you ever hear a story of a person who
for some reason just disappeared from the
family, One day they were there living
there life and the next day from some
unknown reason there is a void did they
run away, were they forced to leave, what
happened to them...
There is not a lot known about Juarez's
life, not much of a paper trail, I think
he was a fine gentleman, with problems and
issues like all of us face every day, He
lived his life so that it would be
difficult but, not impossible to find him.
Juarez's family is connected with mine
though his mother (The Weakley Family)
This page is about Juarez and the
connection with him, His mother and father
and brothers and sisters have all been
accounted for, he has now too but, it took
a lot of time and searching and digging,
wore out several shovels...
Juarez Mexico Tindall, was born on January
28, 1876 to Alexander Clay and Arabella
(Weakley) Tindall in Lowell, Cherokee
County, Kansas, There are no records of
him being in any trouble with the law,
Juarez married Cora Eva Hathaway on
December 18, 1898, Cora was born December
2, 1875 to John Lyon and Sidney (Reed)
Hathaway in Troy, Crawford County,
Pennsylvania, This marriage was blessed
with a daughter the following year, Beryl
Ina Tindall date of birth October 16, 1899
born in Baxter Springs, Cherokee County,
Kansas for those that do not know Baxter
and Lowell are about in block apart in
distance, so either one is very easy to
find. For a long time, there was nothing
else to be found on this little family...
Juarez became a subject that Myself, my
mom and a wonderful Lady name Pat all
became consumed with, one day while at the
Cherokee County Courthouse looking at
records for another family member, out of
the blue a divorce record popped out for
Tindall, Cora & Juarez, a divorce was
granted on March 4, 1907, Cora had filed
saying that Juarez had left her and the
child they had. sadly we will never know
the whole story as to why that was filed,
after all the time of searching for Juarez
was he going to be a total jerk, leaving
his family and running away, like I said
before we will never know all the reasons
why the divorce was granted for that
reason.
More information started popping up...
Little things started to pop out of the
blue, Cora's name was found in a article
listing School Teachers for Baxter
Springs, Kansas, the name was spelled Cora
Tyndall, still the same person the name
was spelled all kinds of ways several
times Cora was spelled Dora, there were
court records showing that Cora & Juarez
had defaulted on a loan for there home,
and it was being taken over, that record
does have both Cora and Juarez's Signature
on it.
With so little information to go on, I
would make up stories as to what really
happened to Juarez, some where good and it
would kept mom and pat entertained for
hours With no more information to be found
we had hit a brick wall, a short time
later another bit of information was
found, Beryl Tindall was listed on the
1910 census record as living with her
grandparents John & Sidney Hathaway, More
questions where was Cora, Had she passed
away no death records had been found yet,
Some when we asked about this said Cora
may have left her daughter with her
parents to remarry, Why would she leave
her child when she filed for divorce based
on the fact that Juarez had left them
both, At that time no marriage records had
been found to say she remarried, either
under the name Tindall/Tyndall or Her
maiden name of Hathaway. There was illness
going around about that time, and with a
rumor of a mass burial in one of our local
cemeteries it is possible that Cora passed
without any kind of notice being made
about her death. Where did these
three people go.
One day while playing on the internet,
(something I love) I found a listing for
Beryl Tindall with mother's name being
listed as Cora, You bet I jumped on it...
Beryl Tindall, living with her
grandparents in Arkansas in 1910; Beryl
married Leonard Stovall on July 19, 1924,
in Oklahoma, (Parents of Leonard are James
and Nora Stovall), Beryl and Leonard
became parents to Rachel Mary Stovall on
September 24, 1925 in Fairland, Ottawa
County, Oklahoma, At this post we do not
have any additional information on Rachel,
Beryl & Leonard's marriage did not last
long they divorced on September 22, 1925.
We did find some additional information
for Leonard He was born on March 29, 1898
in Ottawa County, Oklahoma, He death date
is listed as 1941, he was just 43 years
old. Burial took place at Evergreen
Cemetery, Grady County, Oklahoma.
Beryl's second marriage was to Joseph
Kincaid Boiler taking place on September
16, 1926 in Okmulgee, Okmulgee County,
Oklahoma, (Joseph's parents are Cyrus &
Mary B Boiler) Joseph Boiler was born on
August 28, 1891 in Griswold, Cass County,
Iowa. and passed on November 11, 1949 in
Fayetteville, Washington County, Arkansas
Burial at the Fayetteville National
Cemetery. His Military Stone reads
Joseph K. Boiler
Iowa
CPL MTC
World War 1
August 28, 1891
November 11, 1949
Beryl Ina Tindall Stovall Boiler passed
away on July 13, 1969 in Fayetteville,
Washington County, Arkansas, and is buried
beside her husband Joseph Boiler at the
Fayetteville National Cemetery in
Fayetteville, Washington County, Arkansas.
where is her daughter, has she passed at
this posting no one is sure, (we know now,
update towards bottom of page) don't go
there yet, you will miss Juarez being
found...
Before going on...
You have to understand the importance of
this next section, It was a long time in
coming
Juarez
Mexico Tindall has been found
sometime after he and Cora's divorce
perhaps before, (Divorce papers say that
Juarez abandon his wife and child,
Divorces are cruel so we will never know
if it was true or not). The divorce was in
1907, and most places you search records
on for Juarez has his death date as being
in 1907 or 1908, I believe this is when he
dropped from site maybe on purpose maybe
he did not mean for it to be never heard
from again...
In searching for Juarez, long before we
found anything else mom had found a death
record for a man with a name that was
close, we did find some records showing
that Juarez was often listed a JM or Jim,
there was this man in California, but we
could not at that time prove the record
was Juarez, Then this amazing thing
happened the Draft Cards became public,
Yes Juarez was found and he was that man
in California, Juarez had either legally
changed his name or perhaps since everyone
was calling him James he just kept it.
I knew that when we did find him, it would
be his death record or burial spot, it was
still sad to find him already dead, I know
it doesn't make much sense but, I one of
those strange people hoping for the
impossible, after all he would have been
over 100 years old.
Juarez Mexico Tindall was living in
Campbell, Santa Clara County, California
and working on a ranch by the name of
Kuhlmann, that ranch is not listed as a
working ranch now. From what we learned
from his Obit, Juarez loved children, and
had invented the machine that accidental
killed him on August 6, 1940,
According to the death Certificate it is
very unlikely that he knew what hit him.
The machine had crushed him. Juarez
had lots of family including a daughter
and at this time a grand-daughter it is
unknown if Beryl or Rachel knew where he
was, I mention this fact because Juarez is
buried in a pauper's grave, inquires were
made to see if he could have a headstone
place, because of the pauper status there
are several others buried with him, We do
know the plot number and space, It would
have been wonderful to honor this man with
a tombstone.
Rest
in peace Juarez, We will never know if you
left your family on purpose, a fight maybe
with the family or maybe to get a fresh
start after your divorce, whatever the
reason you never made it back home, But
now other family members will know what
happened.

Updates - 2009 -
Thanks to
some wonderful people at the Random Acts
of Kindness web sites, I now know more
information about Cora, Beryl, Rachel and
a second marriage and 2nd child for Cora
also a Marriage and Child for Rachel....
I knew
where Beryl had been buried but, I just
wanted more information, I wanted to know
where her daughter was, did Juarez and
Cora have any more children
Beryl
obit listed her daughter's married name as
Mrs. Wade Lynch, (yes research is
happening now) it stated that there was a
granddaughter, no name though that is
alright I am used to hard searching, and
the surprising item listed on the obit a
sister named Marjorie, oh they did have
another child, But what for the rest
before that is what you think, Now because
Rachel could still be living I am not
going to post where it says she lived at
that time. It listed Marjorie as living in
Aurora, IL; well again I just jumped on it
and got very lucky, because Marjorie was
found in about 2 hours. She was born in
Los Angeles, California on July 13, 1908
to Cora and Maxim Franklin. Cora was in
California, Did she know Juarez was there
too, we just don't know but she had been
married to Maxim in 1907 shortly after her
divorce from Juarez, In finding Marjorie I
found out she also lived in El Paso, TX
Were I found a death Certificate for Cora
Hathaway Franklin, She passed on April 14,
1926, Her body was shipped to Miami, Ok
(Ottawa County) for burial. One of the
biggest Cemeteries in Miami is G.A.R. well
there is no record of her being buried
there, the caretaker also told us that she
could very well be buried there due to the
fact that in 1928 all the burial records
were destroyed in a fire. And he had
several unknown graves, he suggested that
we go to the library there in Miami where
old records were listed you know those
places Genealogy Society's, off we went we
did not have a lot of hope we went in with
a Copy of Cora's death certificate and it
was looked up and guess what Cora is
buried in an Unmarked grave at G.A.R.
Cemetery just like Juarez, unmarked but,
not forgotten or not cared about.
Sadly there is no way that we will be able
to ever find her unless her Granddaughter
Rachel (if still living) or Rachel's
daughter (if still living) remember
where she is buried.
Marjorie
Franklin, Cora's second daughter lived in
California, El Paso Texas and went on to
just outside of Chicago, IL, She never
married and had no children, and is buried
in Rosehill Cemetery Chicago, her father
Maxim is listed as passing in 1938 however
we are still researching him and do not
have positive information on him, Rachel's
husband is/was Wade Lynch we have found a
death record for a man by that name in the
same area that they were listed as living
from Beryl's obit. however again more
research is being done, to positively ID
him. There is so much more to find on this
family that started out as 3 people. Rest
in Peace Juarez, Cora, Beryl you have all
been found
September 2009 Update
Cora's
parents and sister are also buried at
G.A.R. Cemetery, unknown if they are in
marked graves, but, as soon as we can,
going back to the Cemetery, and find them,
we are getting closer and closer to
getting this little family all together.
Thank you for taking the time to read the
story, There is still much more to find on
Juarez's story and I will keep this page
updated as I find out more Information. If
you are a family member, Please email me
and lets connect, there is so much we can
learn from each other |
