BASIC FACTS

Millard Columbus "Lum" Sigmon was born on 21 June 1852 in Burke Co., North Carolina.^3,5,8 He was born on 21 June 1858 in North Carolina.⁹ He and Catherine Ann Eliza "Kate" DeVault were married on 25 June 1882.² He died on 29 June 1936, at age 84, in Nebo, McDowell Co., North Carolina.^3,10 He was buried in Glen Alpine Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Glen Alpine, Burke Co., North Carolina.⁹

Millard Columbus "Lum" Sigmon was also known as Millard Columbus Sigmond.¹¹ He had reference number 11847. He resided in Of Glen Alpine, North Carolina.¹¹ He was a Postmaster - P.O. Dept. (1882 - 1936.)^5,6,7,10 He was enumerated on the census in North Carolina, McDowell County, Nebo Town (1910 - 1930.) From The Turkey Tail Tattler, Volume 1, Number 2, May 1999, page 2, Cindy Coleman - Editor

Men on the railroad called it Turkey Tail ...

What's In a Name?

According to Sketches of Burke County by Cordelia Camp, "the little town five miles west of Morganton … reaches an elevation of 1,315 feet, the highest point of the railroad in Burke County."
In 1868 the Southern Railroad was built through what is now Glen Alpine. By 1876, the little town consisted of "only two white families and one Negro."
Men on the railroad called it Turkey Tail because of a tree next to the railroad tracks that had the shape of a turkey tail.
J.D. Pitts set up a planing mill at this spot at the same time Columbus and Edmund Sigmun began operating a post office and store in 1876. The town's name was changed to Sigmundsburg and a building boom was underway.
In the early 1870's a hotel was built near Sigmundsburg called the Glen Alpine Springs Hotel. The hotel was supposed to have been the largest wooden structure in North Carolina and may have had as many as 100 guests at a time.
Possibly due to the popularity of the hotel, the town's name was changed again to Glen Alpine Station around 1883.
"Glen Alpine Station," writes The Morganton Star in its April 3, 1885 issue, "is located on the line of the W.N.C.R.R., six miles west of Morganton. It has rich territory to draw from, being surrounded with a thriving, industrious population of farmers who produce yearly large quantities of surplus corn, wheat, tobacco, pork and beef cattle, with Glen Alpine as their chief trading point.
"On our arrival there we found the people all at work like bees after the first approach of the spring flowers.
"We wound up by calling at Sigmon Bro., where we found the model postmaster, Columbus Sigmon, polite affable - always ready to look when the question is asked: 'Anything for John Smith … and if there is nothing for the Smiths is there anything for anybody in my neighborhood.'
"And the strongest proof that these people exhibit bit to show that they are a progressive people is that they are willing to patronage their county newspaper. In addition to the already large subscription list we have at that place, we added fifteen new names - all good men - and took some good orders for job work also for advertising. We predict a bright future for Glen Alpine Station."
The Glen Alpine Springs Hotel was closed in the 1890's. The word "Station" was dropped in 1896 and the town received the name Glen Alpine.

Leila Watkins had reference number 11848. She resided in of Auburn, Nemaha Co., Nebraska.⁷ OBITUARY - David Watkins, father of Leila (Watkins) Broyles (In 1912, Franklin Hunt Broyles wrote this obituary for his father-in-law)

William Watkins and Mary Jones came from Wales to America about one hundred years ago. Their first meeting was on board the Ship that brought them to this Country. The acquaintance thus begun, ripened into friendship and love, and they were married soon after coming to America. They established a home at Radnor, Ohio, where David Watkins, in whose memory this obituary is written, was born, February 26, 1824. He was the oldest of a family of eleven children. Of this large family only two are left to mourn the death of their brother. They are: Mrs. S. J. Powell and Miss Dorothy Watkins of Radnor, Ohio.
He was happily married to Miss Elizabeth McGrew of West Carrolton, Ohio, Christmas Eve 1851. After living for five years at Radnor, Ohio, they decided to come west. Such a trip then, meant much more than it does today, but they were equal to the emergency, and with a team and wagon, and all they possessed loaded on the wagon, they started for the west. And after several weeks of hard traveling they crossed the Missouri River at Nebraska City, Nebraska, May 27, 1857. That was ten years before Nebraska became a state. Three days after crossing the Missouri River, he and his wife selected for their future home, a quarter section of land fourteen miles south of Nebraska City, in Nemaha County, Nebraska. He pre-empted this land, for that was before the days of the Homestead Law. On this land in a hastily erected frame house they lived in true western style. He was always proud of and loyal to his adopted state, and justly so, for they helped develop it from its aboriginal condition to its present high civilization.
During these years by industry and economy he was able to purchase more land, until at the time of his death he owned one of the finest farms in Southeast Nebraska.
In 1876 he moved his family from the frame house into a commodious brick house he built that year. In this beautiful home he and his wife watched their children grow to manhood and womanhood and from this home marry and go out into the world to build homes of their own.
There were four children, two sons and two daughters born to this home. They are: Arlington, who died three months ago; Leila who married Dr. F. H. Broyles, and lives in Bethany, Missouri; Cherlena who married Dr. A. J. Ramsey, and William who lives in Washington.
Since the death of his wife, four years ago, he has been tenderly and lovingly cared for by Dr. and Mrs. Ramsey, who have lived in the home with him. Mrs. Broyles has also spent a great deal of time with her father. The devotion of the daughters to their venerable father, was indeed beautiful. They tried to anticipate his every want. And made the evening of his life as happy as he had made the morning of their lives. His failing strength had filled the hearts of his children and friends with anxiety for several months, for they could see he was gradually fading away. His eyes grew dimmer, his locks thinner and whiter, his step more feeble, and his voice sounded farther and farther away, but while his body grew more feeble, and his eye sight very poor, his memory remained wonderfully accurate and his mind clear and strong up to within a day or two of his death. He took much interest in the work being done on the farm. One of his greatest pleasures was to have someone read to him. He would sit for hours and listen, while his daughters and Dr. Ramsey would read for him. He was very much interested in the recent political campaign, and in news from the seat of the Balkan war. But while he was interested in these things earthly, he often spoke of death and the future life, and said he would love to go. He realized that life was gradually but surely slipping away from him. Only a few weeks before his death, Mrs. Ramsey was going to take some flowers to the cemetery to lay on the graves of the loved ones sleeping there, and he told her to tell her mother when she put the flowers on her grave, that his body would soon be laid by her side. And he would be with her. His prophesy came true, and on Wednesday, November 13, 1912, at one o'clock in the afternoon his spirit went out of his feeble body to be with God who gave it. His death was as peaceful as his life had been. He died without a single struggle. He had lived for this hour and there was no preparation to make when the summons came. At his bedside when he died were his two daughters and his two sons-in-law, also his niece, Mrs. T. J. Adamson of Julian, Nebraska.
In 1873 he confessed Christ and was buried with him in baptism by the late, Elder R. C. Barrows, and united with the old Glenrock congregation of the Church of Christ.
His funeral was held from his late home Friday afternoon, November 15th, Elder D. J. Poynter of Albia, Nebraska, preaching the sermon. His body was then carried to the hearse by the pall bearers, all of them old men, who had been his neighbors for half a century.
The large number of people attending his funeral testified to the place he held in the hearts of his neighbors. Just as the sun was going down his body was lowered in a new grave, by the side of his wife, in Sheridan cemetery at Auburn, Nebraska, there to await God's further pleasure.
"For when life's journey you have traveled, and all it's burdens you've laid down, You shall dwell with the immortal, and your reward will be a crown."

OBITUARY - Bethany Republican Clipper, Nov 1945

PEACEFUL DEATH TO MRS. F. H. BROYLES
Sudden end came Friday while enroute to visit in Nebraska
Mother of Three Doctors
Memorial Services Held Yesterday at Bethany Christian Church;
Burial Beside Husband at Auburn, Nebr.
A distinct shock to the family, relatives and friends of Mrs. F. H. Broyles was the news of her death, which occurred suddenly last Friday morning about 10:00 o'clock, while she was en route to Auburn, Nebr., to visit her sister Mrs. Charlene Ramsey. George Jennings of Bethany was driving her car, when a few miles from Stanberry, he became aware she was resting her head on the back of the seat, which he had seen her do other times when driving for her. Later, however, he noticed she was unusually pale and whe he spoke to her, she did not answer. He rushed to a nearby farm house, the home of Perry Walters in Nodaway county, and called for a doctor and ambulance to come from Stanberry. No doctor was available at that time and the ambulance did not arrive until after 11:00 o'clock. Death came very soon after Jennings noticed her condition, as he reported she never spoke and only once was there a slight movement of the head. The coroner was called from Maryville and he certified her death was from a heart attack.
Jennings called the older son Dr. Glen H. Broyles of Kansas City, who instructed him to have the body returned to Bethany to the S. M. Haas funeral home.
Another son Major Watkins A. Broyles, M. D., with Mrs. Broyles, was stranded at Flagstaff, Ariz., following serious car trouble while en route home from California, where the major was recently discharged from the Army. They were notified there of his mother's death and arrived Monday night by train in Kansas City and were brought on to Bethany.
A daughter Dr. Elizabeth Broyles, house physician at Wellesley College, Boston, Mass., was summoned and arrived Saturday, in company with her niece Mrs. James Stout (Frances Broyles) and Dr. Stout from St. Louis. Dr. and Mrs. Glen Broyles came as soon as possible after receiving the message.
Native of Nebraska
Mrs. Broyles, the former Miss Leila Watkins, was a daughter of David and Elizabeth (McGrew) Watkins. She was born Oct. 6, 1861 in Nemaha County Nebr., and was aged 85 years, one month and four days at the time of her death. She came to Bethany with her late husband, Dr. F. H. Broyles, in 1900, and had continuously made her home in this city. Dr. Broyles died eight years ago, and since then she has retained her home here, with Mrs. Lillie Jennings, who had been with the Broyles family for many years. She also enjoyed the company of her daughter Dr. Elizabeth during the summer months.
Helped Less Fortunate
Mrs. Broyles lived full and active years for her family, for her church, and for the community. Always generous to the less fortunate, she was addicted to no affectations or ostentation, and in her refined, kind way, made the path much easier for those less fortunate than herself. She was never found wavering in her convictions of right and wrong, and the benefits bestowed to her church, benefactors, and community have builded her a lasting memorial.
Funeral Services
Funeral services were conducted at 10:30 o'clock Wednesday morning at the Christian church, with Huell Warren, pastor, officiating. Music was furnished by a quartet composed of Messrs. W. H. Haas and L. E. Cassidy and Mesdames H. C. Shroyer and Raleigh Bartlett who sang "Rock of Ages" and " In the Garden." Mrs. Shroyer also sang "Goin' Home."
The funeral party left following the service for Auburn, Nebr., where interment was made yesterday afternoon beside the last resting place of her husband.

WATKINS FAMILY NEWSLETTER, January 2003

His given name was Watkins
The story of Watkins A. Broyles came to me by fortunate fate in the way of a Christmas gift from Paul Watkins. In 1981, Watkins Broyles wrote a book called "Soldier, Doctor, Doctor" - a detailed accounting of not only his own life, but of the country which he loved so much. He was in awe, I think, of the progress of this nation in the time span of his life and felt compelled to make a record of life in America as he saw it. He recalls his family's beginnings and their struggles of a hundred years go - the life routine of hard work, long hours, and geographic adventure.
His earliest recollection of his family begins in 1760 at which time a number of his ancestors were in America and served in the
Revolutionary War. Following the war, many moved west to a Welsh settlement in Ohio. His grandfather, David Watkins, born in Radnor,
Ohio on February 26, 1824 and married Elizabeth McGrew on December 24, 1851 in Carrollton, Ohio. Their first child, Arlington, was born in Radnor on August 11, 1854 and they moved to Nebraska in 1857. As the railroad ended in Iowa City, Iowa, they purchased horses, wagons and supplies for the rough journey west across southern Iowa. They reached the bank of the Missouri river after two weeks of hard travel and encamped the first night across from Nebraska City, Nebraska. Three days later, passed through Julian, a small village. They continued on four more miles to the south, eventually settling on a bluff where Watkins' grandfather erected their first home. It was in this house that Watkins' mother Leila was born on October 6, 1861. She had a sister, Cherlena, who came to life on January 17, 1867. Leila also had a younger brother named William, born on September 9, 1869.
Though our story's primary interest is the Watkins connection, Dr. Broyles mentions that his father was able to trace his ancestry
to Henry Devault, a Huguenot, born in France in 1732 and immigrated to America in 1754. They landed in Philadelphia and settled near
Hanover, Pennsylvania serving under Col. William Ross during the Revolution in the 3rd Company of the 6th Battalion York County Militia. This Company later joined forces under General Washington at the Battle of Brandywine.
Becoming a doctor had been a logical progression of events for Watkins, as his father was hired in his younger days to work as a driver for a Dr. Nichols in Brock, Nebraska. It was during this time that he met Leila Watkins and they became sweethearts. He also made the decision to become a doctor. Dr. Nichols told him he could go into his office and read medicine for a year under his supervision. He would be able to use the doctor's library and receive personal instruction. He immediately accepted this generous offer and began studying. When Dr. Nichols became ill and could no longer continue his practice, Watkins' father headed for Kansas City, Missouri with fourteen dollars in his pocket which he had earned painting a house. It was November 1884. He attended Kansas City Medical College, doing his best to stretch what little money he had. He finally received his degree on March 15, 1887. That same year, he returned to Brock to marry Leila Watkins.
Watkins Broyles remembers wonderful times at the farm of his grandparents making mention of various incidents in which he was wounded (though not permanently) by either bees or dogs and finding a particular fascination with a skunk. One time around a fourth of July, he tells of picking gooseberries to which his grandmother gave him a quarter for each quart he picked. When they had saved enough, he and his sister Elizabeth would ride "old Charlie" and the one seated buggy and to go Julian to visit the store with its barrels of all sorts of food and candy. "The store was clean and had no flies though Ralph Nader would have had convulsions if he'd seen it!", Dr. Broyles says. Well, as it turns out, he had decided to spend his earnings on some of the fireworks that were on sale. Shooting off a large Roman candle, waving it above his head, it backfired and cut quite a gash in his lower lip. These incidents turned out to be his first medical experiences, as each recollection is finished by his comments that he not only developed an immunity to bee stings, but did not get rabies, lockjaw, or food poisoning!
Watkins enrolled as a pre-med student at the University of Kansas in Lawrence in fall of 1915. A year later, as fate would have it,
President Wilson ordered the mobilization of the National Guard due to the Mexican border disturbance, and Watkins was informed he
must report to the armory at once. This was Watkins' first involvement in a war. It was not his last.
Later, the American involvement with the European War resulted in his withdrawal from school as he applied to the ROTC program and reported to Fort Riley in 1917. One June 4, 1918 Watkins traveled across the Atlantic on the Baltic, a troupe ship. The British ship took him to Glasgow first, and he eventually went to Ramsey, La Havre, and Aillianville where he was trained. At his destination of Mandres, he and his battalion continued to the St. Mihiel Offensive in dugouts under the Metz St. Diezier Road. The time of the attack was to be D-Day plus four hours. Many days in the trenches, unspoken determination to survive, and a serious wound to his leg resulted in his being loaded on to a Merchant ship, the U.S.S. Nansemond and he was shipped home. His foreign service was over on March 11, 1919. He was discharged on April 25.
He re-enrolled as a pre-medic at the University of Kansas and June 10, 1924 was presented with his degree of Doctor of Medicine. Dr. Watkins Broyles interned at St. Louis City Hospital, St. Louis, Missouri and opened his private practice on July 21, 1925 in Eagleville, Missouri. His family grew and his practice thrived, though not without struggles.
When World War II came around, Watkins reported to what was to be called the "3rd Auxiliary Surgical Group" for training and on
his birthday (November 25, 1942) he was told they would leave for England on the 27th. On December 1st, he and 30,000 other men boarded the Queen Mary to make the trip across. Once in England, he was told they belonged in North Africa. He found himself in a field hospital in North Africa on Easter Sunday, 1943 and by June of that year was ordered to Saveli, Algiers. In 1944, he was ordered back to the States, granted leave and returned to Bethany. Due to his earlier leg injury in WW I, he was restricted to the States where he was placed in the Medical Pool to wait for his assignment. Various assignments took him all over the States including, California, Texas and
Arizona. He thrived in the medical field until the late 1970s when he realized his vision was failing. He found his malpractice insurance was costing more than a month's income and he decided to close his office on December 1, 1976.
In closing Watkins' own words say it best. "Over the years I have tried to do my duty as a doctor to my patients, friends, and
community - an old fashioned idea. We often hear the expression, 'the good old days' - do we mean what we say? Those days did have
some good points; more respect for law and order; less sympathy for criminals; less belief that the government should do everything for
you." Well said Watkins, well said.

WATKINS A. BROYLES LETTERS
I received these letters from a collection of Watkins Broyles materials at the U.S. Army Military History Institute, Carlisle, Pennsylvania. (It was noted in the information I received that there are two boxes in the Watkins Broyles collection. Box #1 contains miscellaneous papers during World War II and Box #2 contains miscellaneous letters and papers from 1914-1919.) It is interesting to note that Watkins Broyles was supposed to have been married within about a month of these letters, but he makes no mention of that upcoming event.

LETTER #1

Ft. Riley, Kansas
June 12, 1917

Dear Dad:
I received your letter this noon when I got in off a patrol work, and was glad to get it. To day has been awftly hot and is pretty warm yet tonight - however that is the kind of weather we need if it will only continue and I guess we will be getting used to it before long. but it sure makes the moisture roll off a fellow. Say I wish mother would get my bank book out of my box and send it to me as I want to send it to the bank and have it ballanced - or you can send it in for me. be sure you get the one I used this spring. I never got around to leave it before I left Lawrence. I think tho that I drew all I had out. yet I might be wrong. will finish this later on going over to a Picture show now for a little while.
Back and have not much time befor taps & lights out but if I dont get this finished now will do so in the morning - this cant get to you befor Thursday any how.
I expect that Dillon was a little light in his education but there are a lot of fellows here who are a whole lot worse off than Dillon and I think he would have made it O.K.
We have not been paid yet but I rather think we will get it this week tho I cant tell for sure - if we get paid I think I'll have a uniform made for me as a sort of dress up one it will come in handy if I never get a commission.
Speaking of fellows not liking it here - Ive heard little objections my self but you can blow in the coin here if you want to blow it in, You asked about clothes - well Ive spent about $10.00 for clothes at the Q.M. and then I bought me a pair of shoes up town cost me $1.00 - I could not get anything that would fit me at the quarter masters so I blowed my self. They are regular army shoes and cost $2.87 at the Q.M. so you see how they stick us however next month you will pay about $5 for them.
I think I'll go to KC. Sat. and to Lawrence Sunday that is if I can get away but it is rumored that we will not be allowed to leave camp from now on.
How is Mr. Hallock You sure have made a bunch of trips to see him.
The weather here has been fine this week and I hope that you are having some of these warm days, but it is cloudy and looks like rain this evening.
Tell Many hello for me. I dont think we will have to pay 75 ct for meals for it was probably due to his getting discharge and they charged him for his board.
Now I beleave Ive given you all the news there is for this time but may add a line or to in the morning.
Love to all
Watkins

P.S. Wed - morning and all OK. Turned cold last night and is cloudy this morning but looks a little like it might clear off - but they must have had a storm near here, Must close now and get this in box so it will be taken to office

NEWSPAPER ARTICLE - Bethany Republican Clipper, Bethany, Missouri, December 18, 1918

Cheering News from War Department, December, 1918 , Bethany, Harrison, Missouri
RECEIVE CHEERING NEWS.
As we stated last week, that although Dr. F. H. Broyles had received notice from the War Department that his son Lieut. Watkins Broyles had died of pneumonia, Nov. 7, in France; but as the family had received letters from him written since the armistice was signed, they could only hope there was a mistake on account of the conflicting dates. So great was the rejoicing in Bethany last Saturday when another message came from the war department, stating that the report of Watkins' death was erroneous - that he should have been reported wounded on November 7th.
Before receiving this message, Mrs. Broyles had received an eight page letter from Watkins, written Nov. 23. He said in this letter that his wounds were healing nicely, and he was improving rapidly, and hoped soon to be back with his company. In all, the family received seven letters from Lieut. Broyles last week.
Dr. Broyles also received a letter last week from his other soldier son, Capt. Glenn Broyles, in France, and he too was well and getting along fine.
We all rejoice with Dr. and Mrs. Broyles, the brave little wife, and all the relatives in the good news received, and though this will be for them a lonesome Christmas with both their sons so far away, yet they feel they have much for which to be thankful.
The following were the two messages as received by Dr. Broyles;

Washington, D. C., Dec. 18, 1918
Deeply regret to inform you that it is officially reported that Lieut. Watkins A. Broyles, infantry, died of lobar pneumonia, November 7.
HARRIS, Adj. Gen.

Washington, D. C. Dec. 14, 1918
Lieut. Watkins A. Broyles, infantry, erroneously reported died of lobar pneumonia; now reported severely wounded in action, Nov. 7.
HARRIS, Adj. Gen.
