Dr. James (Jim) Cesear Pitchford
RESEARCHER: Dianne King wrote T.Mason on 7Jul2001 that Per conversation with Corda Summer Sides, Okemah, OK that Dr. James C. Pitchford followed the oil bomb. James C. was an apprentice in the newspaper business. James C. & his wife Laura were learning medicine while in Chickasaw I.T. (Pontotoc Co.,) Laura & Dona Fenter were friends in (Pontotoc Co., I.T.). Laura lived only a few days after the burning accident she told James that Dona would be a good mother to her children. James C. Pitchford drank a lot & was cruel to Dona & the 3 older children. He adored his daughter Fannie (only child born to James C. & Dona). When Fannie was older but, still in school, she and some friends were downtown when her father came up with liquor in a brown paper sack. He dropped and broke the bottle. Fannie was so embarrssed and upset, her father never drank again. Dr. Pitchford appears to have left the practice of medicine in Morseat the end of March, 1914. At least, that is the last recorded birth/death record turned in my him. After a few months, another Dr. was turning in paperwork for the Morse area.

BIRTH: Pigeon Forge was originally known as Wear's Fort.
BURIAL: E-mail on 25 Dec 1999 from [Dwear28920@cs.com] to TMason. NOTE: they were married in Blount Co., Tenn. and are buried on the Riverbend Farm which Robert received from Gov. Sevier for doing surveying of the original county. I have been to the farm and found the tombstones for the family members broken from cattle running on the property, which is now owned by the representatives of the TVA. Robert and Elizabeth's tombstones were readable as were most of the others. Their young son, Robert's stone was the most readable one of all. The last family to live on the farm in 1974 was a Great-granddaughter of Robert's, Virginia Hall. My husband's great-grandfather was Isaac Decatur Wear, who inherited most of the land on Riverbend Farm. Denver's grandfather was Talbert Bowerman Wear, who married in TN to Minnie Orten and then moved to Texas in 1891, selling his portion of the land to his brother, Robert for $800. (Land records for Loudon Co., TN.) I have a video of the graveyard I made while there in 1991. Dorothy Wear. 22 Denver Lane, Washougal, WA 98671
