1 NOTE William supposedly served as a soldier in the Confederate army during the American Civil War
2 CONC .  There is a "W.A. Devenport" on file as having enlisted in the SC 16th infantry, Co. K, bu
2 CONC t "on leave" the first muster list and "AWOL" on the second muster roll. 
2 CONT There is also a listing on ancestry.com showing a W A Devenport serving in
2 CONT the 3rd Mississippi Cavalry:
2 CONT Devenport W. A. K 3 (State Troops) Mississippi Cavalry. Private Private
2 CONT Confederate 
2 CONT Taken supposedly from the National Archives, no other data given
2 CONT There is a story about William A, related to Jim C. Devenport by Grace Martin.  Grace heard i
2 CONC t from her father, John Charles Devenport, William's son. Supposedly William was "in the army
2 CONC " and obtained leave to "visit sick relatives".  Supposedly while he was there the area was o
2 CONC verrun by Yankee soldiers.  He would hide in the woods during the day and sleep in the relati
2 CONC ve's house at night.  If Yankee soldiers were nearby his "folks" would alert him by calling o
2 CONC ut "Oh, Pap!!!" as though calling for an old man.  Supposedly one night as he was eating supp
2 CONC er the house was surrounded by Yankees who demanded that he come out.  He climbed out thr
2 CONC u a back window and crawled thru the brush on all fours to escape.  When he heard someone ge
2 CONC t close to him he would grunt and snort like a hog.... and got away!! !"Robertson County TX M
2 CONC arriages" lists W.A. Devenport and A.M. Newberry being married on 4 Mar 1872; marriage certif
2 CONC icate lists 7 Mar 1872.
2 CONT At around age 53 William was advised by doctors to move from OK to NM "for his health" but th
2 CONC at William's health required that he should take the train and let his family bring the team
2 CONC s and wagons.  
2 CONT William sold his place in Hollis Oklahoma on 22 April 1903. (Charlie Payne diary)
2 CONT  He insisted  on riding with the family anyway and went into a coma immediately upon arriva
2 CONC l in Roswell and died 3 days later.  The family subsequently moved to Hagerman. 
2 CONT From the Microfiche archive files of the newspaper Roswell Daily Record, 27
2 CONT May 1903:
2 CONT "W. A. Devenport, aged about 55 years, died yesterday afternoon at 2:00 at
2 CONT his home near the depot.  The deceased had been in ill health for some time,
2 CONT and came here in the hope that the climate would benefit him.  He was
2 CONT benefited some, but yesterday morning he became unconscious and remained in
2 CONT that state until the time of his death.
2 CONT A physician was called and everything possible was done to restore him to
2 CONT consciousness, but without avail.  The unfortunate man was in a dying
2 CONT condition from early in the morning until the end.
2 CONT He is survived by a large family who were at the bedside in his last hours.
2 CONT The funeral arrangements have not been made."
2 CONT See "Meeting the Train", a bicentennial history of Hagerman, for slightly longer stories of t
2 CONC he early Devenports. 
2 CONT 3 generations of daughters are buried in the Hagerman cemetery side by side:  Permelia Ann Re
2 CONC ynolds, her daughter Ardelier Mildred (Newberry) Devenport, and ??(Iola?)??  --
2 CONT The 16th SC Infantry, it turns out, was an old man's brigade, formed up toward the end of th
2 CONC e Civil war of elderly and infirm men, not likely then to have been our William's unit.
2 CONT Charlie Payne, Grace Devenport Martin's uncle, recorded in his diary that W.A. sold his plac
2 CONC e in OK on 22 April 1903.... in a few weeks W.A. was dead.
2 CONT The "Asberry" name evidently came from his uncle "Asbury" TERRY.
2 CONT William was known as a carpenter and undertaker.

1 NOTE "Uncle" John Devenport was well loved by my father, Jim Lawrence Devenport.
2 CONT I heard several references to his taking in wayward and orphan boys on his ranch and providin
2 CONC g a home life for them. John Lane Devenport was named in honor of Uncle John Charles Devenpor
2 CONC t.
2 CONT Memories from a grandson, Doctor Lyal Williams:
2 CONT "Grandfather John C. and Grandmother Devenport owned several farms.  They gave each child a
2 CONT farm (around 150 acres, as I recall) to each of their children when he or
2 CONT she married.  They still had 5 farms left when he died.  Their home place in
2 CONT Texas as in Childress County, and the nearest community was called Loco.  In
2 CONT that small community were either three or four churches, a school, a post
2 CONT office, a gin, and a service station/general store.  Our farm, where I was
2 CONT born, was also in Childress County (about 4 or 5 miles from Grandpa's), and
2 CONT we spent the first few of our school years in the Loco school.  We also went
2 CONT to church at the Loco Church of Christ.  I heard, but cannot verify, that
2 CONT Grandpa donated the land and built the church house there.  I know for a
2 CONT fact that he was there every Sunday, was an Elder in the church, and took
2 CONT the visiting preachers home for "dinner" on Sundays, and they usually stayed
2 CONT until the evening services.  As I recall, there was no full time preacher,
2 CONT and many of the services were conducted by lay members of the congregation
2 CONT (often my father), which probably consisted of maybe 10 or 12 families.
2 CONT When prayers were said, the men all knelt on one knee, and the women sat in
2 CONT the pews and bowed their heads.  The church house filled to the brim when
2 CONT there was a "meeting".  We visited them pretty often, especially after
2 CONT Mother died, and there was never a meal without his "returning thanks" or
2 CONT asking a guest to do so.
2 CONT He sent my mother and Aunt Grace (Martin) to a school run by members of the
2 CONT Church of Christ, called the Gunter School.  It was there that they met
2 CONT their husbands, Mother marring Robert G. (Bob) Williams, and Aunt Grace
2 CONT marring Marvin Martin.  I know my father was also attending that school, and
2 CONT I assume Uncle Marvin was, too.
2 CONT He loved to talk, and I can still hear his resonating baritone voice
2 CONT sounding off about politics (didn't think much of Roosevelt, and went on at
2 CONT length about how the "Roosians" were not to be trusted!)
2 CONT I was 15 when he died, and don't remember much about the remarks at his
2 CONT funeral;  but he was a God-fearing, church-going  man, who lived a very
2 CONT Christian life."
2 CONT Buried in Fairmont Cemetery, Hollis, Harmon County, Oklahoma

1 NOTE Clarence ("CM" as known to most family and friends) was a sought-after expert roper when roun
2 CONC dup and branding time came around.
2 CONT He worked for the Turkey Tracks ranch between Hagerman and Artesia NM early on.
2 CONT He punched cows for "Sid" Pitt, who supposedly had little use for this cowpoke courting his d
2 CONC aughter Etta. Later Sid liked this cowboy very well (re Aunt Lou) A story goes that one day C
2 CONC M was in town when he saw Etta and family coming down the street and quickly jumped on the ba
2 CONC ck of a near wild "Bronc" horse to show off his riding skills.  As Etta and family approached
2 CONC , the horse, wildly bucking, backed into a barrel of coal tar sitting in front of a building
2 CONC .  The horse's hooves smashed the wooden barrel and slung tar over everyone within range, inc
2 CONC luding the surely impressed Miss Etta Pitt.  She eventually did marry CM anyway, becoming m
2 CONC y "Grandma Devenport" and "Aunt Etta" to many others.
2 CONT CM was a manager of the new alfalfa mill at Hagerman right after he was married.  They move
2 CONC d to the House area to start ranching on their own, moving into a half dugout 1 mile north o
2 CONC f Lucille, NM.  Later they lived in a house near the Bedingfields.  In 1923 they moved to 1 m
2 CONC ile south and 1/2 mi. east of Hassel.  They also lived in a half dugout called the "Martin pl
2 CONC ace" on the edge of the Caprock.  Later they moved to what most of us recall as the "ranch"
2 CONC , near the Penningtons.  CM I recall as being rather quiet and soft spoken, sayin very littl
2 CONC e to
2 CONT us grand kids though he took us fishing etc as is the requirement for a doting grandpa.  Ett
2 CONC a used to "fuss" at him quite a bit about this and that;  she was the stricter of the 2 paren
2 CONC ts and she did the "enforcement" and punishing of the kids when they were younger.  I also re
2 CONC call "Grandpa" as a crack shot with his .22 rifle when rabbit hunting.  We would be chuggin
2 CONC g along in an old pickup, spot a rabbit, and pull over.  CM would often shoot straight from i
2 CONC nside the truck, first taking aim and then at times "blacking" the sights on the front of th
2 CONC e rifle with a match, then drawing down on on the unfortunate victim again and PLINK!  Ole Mr
2 CONC . Rabbit would drop, often flipping over backwards in the air as the bullet whacked home.
2 CONT One night we had been out fishing till late after dark and while walking back in a moonless n
2 CONC ight Grandpa just disappeared.  Jim L. walked back to find him having fallen down into a smal
2 CONC l gully and broken his foot or ankle.  We finally got him home quite late, with vivid memorie
2 CONC s of Grandpa crawling across the porch at the old ranch on all fours with Grandma fussing a
2 CONC t him like the dickens about his "foolishness".  CM died of a stroke not too long after his 5
2 CONC 0th wedding "Golden" wedding anniversary celebration.

1 NOTE Jim L. was born at Mrs. Morgan's house, delivered by a "quack" Dr. Hurley "with grease stil
2 CONC l on his hands", as Aunt Melva described it.  Dad started out as a cowpuncher. He always ha
2 CONC d trouble with respiratory problems, flunking the physical when he tried to join the servic
2 CONC e when Pearl Harbor was attacked due to a recent bout with pneumonia.  He began smoking aroun
2 CONC d age 15, as most good cow hands do, and smoked until about 8 years before he died, which wa
2 CONC s about the time he had to go on almost 24-hour oxygen for breathing.  He fell in love with "
2 CONC carpentering" at about age 18 or so while helping tear down an old ranch house to build anoth
2 CONC er, working either for the Berryhills or Elkins or for Uncle Cug Pitt.  From then on he faile
2 CONC d to fit the cowboy mold, wearing economical clothing instead of the latest fads of "wester
2 CONC n wear", and (shudder) work shoes instead of boots.  Either poverty or good sense or both ins
2 CONC pired him to raise most of his family working .... with at-home chores as well as helping "a
2 CONC t the shop" after school and summers.
2 CONT He was a critical father who had great pride and love for his kids but also great difficult
2 CONC y expressing that love directly to them.  In the last years of his life he became quite a "so
2 CONC ftie", more and more able to express hugs and emotions with his children.  Dad, I sure though
2 CONC t you had a lot of shortcomings, but now that my kids are having similar problems with me I'
2 CONC m quite a bit more sympathetic.... Love, Jim C.
2 CONT Article on Jim Lawrence Devenport
2 CONT From Grants Daily Beacon “Know Your Neighbor”
2 CONT Written by Ward Ballmer
2 CONT July 28, 1976
2 CONT 
2 CONT 	“I guess I’ve been a wood-oholic most of my life,” said Jim Devenport.  “Working with wood j
2 CONC ust gets into your blood and once you get into it, you can’t quit.”
2 CONT 	Due to lung problems he’s had over a long period of years, several doctors have told Jim t
2 CONC o stay away from the sawdust and sanding dust always associated with cabinet shops and carpen
2 CONC ter work, but he’s been unable to do so.
2 CONT 	“Nothing else gives me such satisfaction,” he says simply.
2 CONT 	Devenport now operates a wedge-making contraption, which he devised himself, at 712 Catalina
2 CONC , Milan-home of Jim’s Cabinet Shop, which was just recently taken over by his son, John.  Th
2 CONC e Rube-Goldberg-type operation for making wedges for the mining companies was a necessity, Ji
2 CONC m says, because when he got a lot of orders, he was unable to find anybody to work for him.
2 CONT 	“Nobody else would stand up at the saw all day long,” he recalled, “and unless I could figur
2 CONC e out some way for one guy to do it all, I’d lose all that business.”
2 CONT 	He rigged up an automatic feeder to push the 2 x 4’s into a circular saw, which cuts them in
2 CONC to 1 foot lengths.  At the same time, another saw, on the same contraption, is running at a 9
2 CONC 0-degree angle to the first, and is moving forward and backward one foot at a time.  Jim ha
2 CONC s fixed up a sloping arrangement here which allows him to manually feed the 1-foot-long piec
2 CONC e of lumber into the beveled holder.
2 CONT 	It is cut into two wedges by the second saw, and both drop into an open burlap bag held belo
2 CONC w on an old wagon wheel tire.  There are four such bags mounted on the steel rim, and Jim ca
2 CONC n swing a different sack under the saw when he has 50 wedges in a particular sack.  The rim i
2 CONC s mounted on ball-bearings and turns easily.
2 CONT 	He can now keep up with orders, no matter how large, for wedges to be used in underground ti
2 CONC mbering operations or for any other purpose.
2 CONT 	The only problem, he notes, is that in the winter months when his shop must be kept closed
2 CONC , the sawdust “sure does get thick in here.”
2 CONT 	Jim is a native New Mexican.  He was born on a ranch near House, New Mexico-a small communit
2 CONC y in Quay County which used to be noted for its basketball teams.  “In the ‘20’s,” Jim said
2 CONC , “House won two state championships.  Beat Albuquerque and everybody else.”  Records show th
2 CONC at this is so.
2 CONT 	Jim was raised on the family ranch with two brothers and one sister.  They went to elementar
2 CONC y school at Independence, N.M., a smaller community near House, and to high school at House
2 CONC .  Jim played basketball and also ran the mile on the track team while in high school.  He gr
2 CONC aduated in 1935.  He was one of nine in his graduation class.  “Wasn’t too big of a school,
2 CONC ” he noted.
2 CONT 	Jim went to work on his father’s ranch for a while, but since he had been doing the same thi
2 CONC ng all through his school years, he wanted a change.  So he came to Northwestern New Mexico a
2 CONC s a cowpuncher.
2 CONT 	He punched cows for W.F. Pitt at the 3 Circle Ranch out between Crownpoint and Chaco Canyo
2 CONC n beginning in 1936.  “I like this area from the start,” Jim said.
2 CONT 	For the next three or four years he worked as a cowhand all through that remote region.  H
2 CONC e was a cowpuncher for Mark Elkins, Tom Elkins, I.K. Westbrook and for his uncle, W.F. Pitt
2 CONC , and got to know the area quite well.  “Then in about 1940 everything changed for me,” Jim r
2 CONC ecalled.
2 CONT 	He was punching cows out near Hospah and was asked by Wade Smith to help him build a new ran
2 CONC chhouse.  Jim became an apprentice carpenter and was introduced to the world of making thing
2 CONC s with wood.  Cowpunching became a thing of the past for him.
2 CONT 	“We tore down two old ranch houses to make him a new one just about three miles from Puebl
2 CONC o Bonita,” Jim recalled, “and I spent about a full month just straightening out old nails an
2 CONC d cleaning board.  But it was fun, and we built a fine home for him”
2 CONT 	In 1941 Jim worked at Fort Wingate building forms for concrete igloos and warehouse faciliti
2 CONC es, then took a job in Lubbock, Texas, at Reese Air Force base as a carpenter.  That November
2 CONC , he caught pneumonia and went back to House to recuperate.  When the Japanese bombed Pearl H
2 CONC arbor on December 7, Jim tried to enlist on the 8th, but did not get into the service until J
2 CONC anuary 12, 1942 when his recuperation from the earlier bout with pneumonia was well advanced.
2 CONT 	He served four years in the Army Air Force as an airplane mechanic.  He spent 18 months in t
2 CONC he Aleutian Islands and was being trained as a gunner to head for Europe when that portion o
2 CONC f the war ended.  He also recalls being at Langley Field, Virginia, when secret testing of th
2 CONC e first jet airplanes was under way.  “You couldn’t believe it,” he said incredulously, “thos
2 CONC e things came zipping by with no propellors at all.”
2 CONT 	While in the service, Jim met Pearl Shelley in Winslow, Arizona.  She was working in a depar
2 CONC tment store as bookkeeper and he was visiting friends and relatives there while on furlough
2 CONC .  They became “more than a little” interested in each other, and on his next leave, they wen
2 CONC t to Joseph City, Arizona and were married on July 12, 1945.
2 CONT 	After the war, Jim took a home-building job in Tucson, Ariz., then moved to Winslow where h
2 CONC e opened up a cabinet shop.  He operated this for almost three years, heard there was a lot o
2 CONC f work in the Clovis, N.M., area, so the Devenports moved there.  “I couldn’t find all this w
2 CONC ork I had heard about,” Jim said, “so I put in a cabinet shop in Portales.”
2 CONT 	He operated this for a few months, then sold it and put in a shop in Lovington, N.M.  He kep
2 CONC t this going full blast for several years until his doctor told him he had to get out of tha
2 CONC t business and stay out.  So he sold the shop and moved to Bowie, Ariz., as a carpenter.  “
2 CONC I soon had me a shop there, though,” he said, “and ran it from 1953 until we came back to Gra
2 CONC nts in 1956.”
2 CONT 	When he got here, he went partners with Lloyd Bliss and Wesley Tietjen in operating a machin
2 CONC e shop in Milan.  “We had a going deal until all the companies put in their own machine shops
2 CONC ,” Jim recalls, “so I just kept on at the same spot and made a cabinet shop out of the buildi
2 CONC ng.  Been here ever since.”
2 CONT 	Jim and Pearl have had five children.  The first two, Jim and George were born in Winslow
2 CONC .  Jim now operates a TV repair shop in Grants, and he and his wife, the former Joan Jenkerso
2 CONC n of Belen, have provided four grandchildren for the Devenports to spoil.  George was kille
2 CONC d in an automobile accident last year.
2 CONT 	John was born in Lovington, and just recently took over operation of his father’s cabinet sh
2 CONC op in Milan.  Daughter Neena (spelled that way so she wouldn’t be called “nine-uh”) lives i
2 CONC n Wichita Falls, Texas, where her husband is a career Army man.  Their youngest son, Bruce, i
2 CONC s on a mission in Thailand for the Church of Latter Day Saints.
2 CONT 	Jim has built a lot of homes in Grants and Milan, and has “done more remodeling and cabinetm
2 CONC aking than you might suppose.”  He has yet, however, to complete his own home at La Cantina
2 CONC , in Lobo Canyon.  “I’ll get around to that one of these days, I guess,” he said, but he didn
2 CONC ’t sound too convincing.
2 CONT 	“Whoever heard of a shoemaker’s kid who wasn’t barefoot?” he asked.

1 NOTE HC Newberry had prior and subsequent wives to Permelia Ann Reynolds. He evidently failed to m
2 CONC ention this to Permelia when they married; shortly after they were married a young man abou
2 CONC t Permelia's age appeared at the door asking for Mr. Newberry.  When Permelia asked his busin
2 CONC ess he responded that he was Mr. Newberry's oldest son.  This supposedly was the first she ha
2 CONC d heard about any prior marriages.  They later divorced.  Both remarried; Permelia at least t
2 CONC wice.  Henry Clay is supposed to be buried at Ft. Washita, most of which is under Lake Texom
2 CONC a nowadays.  There is some kind of monument or marker declaring the site of Ft. Washita but n
2 CONC o information yet on who may be buried there.
2 CONT HC's marriage certificate states he married Permelia on 15 jan 1847 and that HC was "of With
2 CONC e (Wythe?) County.
2 CONT The 1850 Botetourte County VA census states Henry's birthplace as "VA". 
2 CONT HC and Parmelia left VA for MO when daughter was one year old, or some time in late 1855.  Ab
2 CONC out 1858 the family moved to Montague County TX and "became one of the State's early Pioneers
2 CONC ".
2 CONT Deed Record book 32 p 161 Montague Co TX records 1040 acres bought by H.C. Newberry 11 Feb 18
2 CONC 58.
2 CONT Henry went to Missouri then Texas, where one of his sons was treasurer of Hardeman County.
2 CONT The 1870 Census of Robertson County, Texas, shows a "D. N. Welch, grocer", who was to becom
2 CONC e a future husband of Permelia Ann Reynolds Newberry after she divorced from Henry Clay.

1 NOTE David is supposedly Permelia's husband number 2. Source 1870 Robertson Co TX Census... Permel
2 CONC ia's age here is listed as 36, when she should have been about 45.  Is it possible she lied a
2 CONC bout her age???  David here is listed as age 39..
2 CONT "Story" has it that Parmelia financed a store with her inherited wealth and that one of her h
2 CONC usbands stole all she had, stripped the store, and left her. 
2 CONT  In the 1870 Robertson County Texas Census David Welch is listed as occupation "gro. market
2 CONC " and his wife at this time is listed as "Pamelia, age 36", with children Monroe (Sharon Monr
2 CONC oe) age 19 and "Adeline" (Ardelier) age 16.
2 CONT So it looks likely that (1) Parmelia is fudging her age at this time to look younger than he
2 CONC r husband David and (2) David likely is the one who stole Parmelia's store stock and deserte
2 CONC d her, which may have led to the story of Parmelia having to "make shirts for Huntsville pris
2 CONC oners" at the Huntsville Texas prison.

2 CONC er all her relatives.
2 CONT Her mother was born in France? Her mother or stepmother rode in a carriage with President Abr
2 CONC aham Lincoln once.  Lynchburg was their shopping area. Permelia was supposedly born into a we
2 CONC althy tobacco family and learned to dip snuff working in the tobacco sheds.  Pictures show he
2 CONC r to be an attractive young lady in her teens.  When she married HC Newberry he was almost tw
2 CONC ice her age.  After the marriage she found he had children from a prior marriage.  They divor
2 CONC ced after a time.  One of her subsequent husbands (probably David WELCH) stole all her mone
2 CONC y and bankrupted her by absconding with most of the goods from a store they jointly owned.  
2 CONT The 1870 Census of Robertson County, Texas, shows a "D. N. Welch, grocer", who is undoubtedl
2 CONC y David, husband of Permelia Ann after she divorced Henry Clay Newberry.
2 CONT Census of 1870 Robertson County TX shows Parmelia to be 36 (she was actually 45) and her newe
2 CONC r husband David Welch to be 39.  Was she fibbing about her age? She was reduced to sewing shi
2 CONC rts for prisoners at the Huntsville TX prison after the looting of her store & goods by Mr. W
2 CONC elch.  She eventually moved to Hagerman NM to live with her daughter Ardelier. Ardelier's dau
2 CONC ghter Iola inherited the Devenport family bible and much of Permelias's odds and ends includi
2 CONC ng her 1847 wedding dress.  When Iola died in Carlsbad her daughter Ida Bea Knoll cleaned mos
2 CONC t of it out and threw it away including the old wedding dress, now falling apart from age.  I
2 CONC da Bea retained the old Devenport bible.  It was in a deteriorated state in the 1980's and si
2 CONC nce Ida Bea's death (circa 1992) no one seems to know of this bible.  It likely got thrown aw
2 CONC ay too.
2 CONT Parmelia and HC Newberry were married by James Bishop, his certificate states the day as 15 J
2 CONC an 1847 instead of 12 Jan as listed in family records..

2 CONT Letter from Jack Langenegger to Jim C. Devenport, December 2002:
2 CONT 
2 CONT Hi Jim,
2 CONT 
2 CONT It was good to hear from you. Nita isn't doing too well at the moment, but we're hoping for b
2 CONC etter days ere long. She needs a knee replacement very badly, but her internist doesn't wan
2 CONC t her to have it because of her pacemaker, which means she's on a blood thinner. Her oncologi
2 CONC st is treating her for nodules on her lung. She is taking a series of three monthly shots o
2 CONC f FASLODEX, a new cancer medicine. She had breast cancer five years ago, and mastectomies eig
2 CONC hteen months later. Her original surgery was a lumpectomy. Her oncologist thinks the lung nod
2 CONC ules are from the breast cancer. SHE (the oncologist) thinks her  prognosis is very good wit
2 CONC h the new treatment. In March, after the third shot, she will have a CATSCAN to see what's go
2 CONC ing on. Please keep her in your prayers. She (and I) are firm believers in prayer and hopeful
2 CONC ly she will improve. She is a real trooper, staying in good spirits and staying busy. I'm doi
2 CONC ng very well, having no problems that curtail my activities very much.
2 CONT 
2 CONT My ham radio history doesn't amount to much. When Jack Wade was in about the fifth grade, a l
2 CONC ocal ham whose wife was Jack Wade's teacher, asked his wife to choose a member of her class w
2 CONC ho she thought would learn the code (a requirement then) and she chose him. In helping him le
2 CONC arn the code, etc. I became interested and we took the novice test together, which we both pa
2 CONC ssed. We had a small 25 watt transmitter (code only, no audio capabilities) and we both mad
2 CONC e a lot of QSOs.
2 CONT In about a year I took the general test and passed it. However, Jack Wade had become too invo
2 CONC lved in basketball and lost interest in Ham Radio.
2 CONT About that time, Nita went to work for the local weekly newspaper so that she could give m
2 CONC e a Heathkit 200 watt transmitter that worked on 160, 80, 40, 15, and 10 meters. I built it i
2 CONC n my spare time that winter and spring and finally completed assembling it. I was almost afra
2 CONC id to turn it on in case it blew up, but it worked perfectly on all bands. I had an inverte
2 CONC d V antenna with 80 foot elements going both directions, making 160 feet total.
2 CONT I was on the air from 1959 (the year I got my general license) until we built our home in tow
2 CONC n (Hagerman) in 1973. I haven't been on the air since then.
2 CONT I still have the old Heathkit transmitter stored in the attic. I have no idea if it would wor
2 CONC k or not, and don't know what I'll ever do with it.
2 CONT I built a bunch of Heathkit stuff, including a vacuum tube volt-ammeter, a test instrument fo
2 CONC r electrical equipment on cars, trucks and tractors, three Heathkit digital bathroom scales (
2 CONC digital was a novelty in those days) that were extremely accurate.
2 CONT Mine worked very well for about fifteen years, but when it quit, I couldn't buy parts since h
2 CONC eathkit had sold and their successor company didn't stock the stress bar I needed to fix it
2 CONC . Mary Ann's worked about the same length of time and the third was a gift and I don't know a
2 CONC bout it. I built an instrument for my ham receiver to narrow the band to eliminate outside in
2 CONC terference (I don't remember what we called it) and it worked very well. 
2 CONT In my contacts I talked to hams in Australia, So. America, Canada, etc. One of my most memora
2 CONC ble contacts was with a ham aboard a freighter sailing through the Strait Of Gibraltar. My ve
2 CONC ry first was with a Ham-W5QWL- in South Carolina on ten meters. I remember his call letters b
2 CONC ecause he identified himself in that Southern drawl saying "this is W5QWL, W5 Quarter wave le
2 CONC ngth, pronouncing the letters phonetically.
2 CONT That's about it, Jim. Thanks for writing. If you have any updates on the Devenport family tre
2 CONC e, Nita would probably (and me) be interested in seeing what you've found.
2 CONT Give our love to all of your family.
2 CONT Jack

2 CONC 5 for shooting a neighboring rancher Story as heard from grandson TD Devenport who said he he
2 CONC ard it from his mother Sarah Etta Pitt:  Sidney had water disputes with his neighbors and rep
2 CONC eatedly warned a Mexican sheepherder to not bring his sheep to water at this particular water
2 CONC ing hole.  One day he brought his rifle to the watering hole and hid up on a windmill behin
2 CONC d the gearmotor and when the Mexican brought his sheep to water, shot him in the back.
2 CONT Other versions of this story heard mostly from Uncle Cug's side of the family state the shoot
2 CONC ing was in various forms of self defense, etc.
2 CONT After getting out of jail Sidney had to leave Texas and started the 3 Circle (?) ranch near L
2 CONC ovington NM.  Later ranched near Fort Sumner, then ranched in the Crownpoint area, then wen
2 CONC t bankrupt in the 1929 crash.  Started a chicken ranching operation in Albuquerque NM.  His C
2 CONC rownpoint ranch went to the banks who later approaced his son "Cug" Pitt to operate it for th
2 CONC em, and Cug eventually wound up owning the entire ranch.  Sidney supposedly was a womanizer a
2 CONC nd in Albuquerque supposedly kept a mistress upstairs in the same house his wife and childre
2 CONC n lived in.  Jennie C. eventually divorced him and moved in with her son Cug at the Crownpoin
2 CONC t ranch.  Sidney was always quite wealthy and according to his daughter Lou the children wer
2 CONC e not fond of him though they never lacked for material things in life.

1 NOTE Born on ranch SE of Roswell NM, got mail at Lovington.  "Aunt Lou" told Jim C. Devenport thes
2 CONC e stories on herself...
2 CONT As a young girl she lived on a ranch near Fort Sumner NM.  She and a friend, Helen Hunter, ra
2 CONC n away from home once, perhaps in Helen's car... or maybe they hitchhiked.  They were tryin
2 CONC g to "run away" to Amarillo TX.  They found they were being pursued by a carload of boys an
2 CONC d stopped in a small town along the way to spend the night.  "Papa" (Sid Pitt) sent Clarenc
2 CONC e Devenport, one of his cowboys, to bring the girls back home.  When the 2 girls got up the n
2 CONC ext morning, the first thing they saw was Clarence, outside waiting to take them home.  Lou "
2 CONC Loved Clarence", smitten with him, but refused to speak to him all the way home to the ranch.
2 CONT Lou & Nod & Nina (Haas?) used to take the family laundry to Ft. Sumner.  One day they were zo
2 CONC oming into town in their Franklin automobile and hit a very deep dip in the road and the ca
2 CONC r turned over and over again, pinning at least one of the girls inside the car as it came t
2 CONC o rest upside down.  Nod got out and used a fence post to try to pry the car off the girl.  N
2 CONC od died not too long after this incident;  Lou always wondered if this accident didn't do he
2 CONC r a lot of damage.
2 CONT Clarence Devenport was Lou's hero and he would always bring candy for her and her sisters whe
2 CONC n he came back to the ranch from town.  Lou refused to speak to Clarence for some time afte
2 CONC r he married her older sister Etta.

1 NOTE Pearl fell and broke her hip from getting caught in the revolving door at the Mesa Arizona Te
2 CONC mple.
2 CONT She suffered lameness and limited walking ability for many months afterward, and at one poin
2 CONC t was so crippled up that the doctors insisted she would have to have replacement hip surger
2 CONC y to regain mobility.  She decided to try exercising more, and almost immediately began incre
2 CONC asing her mobility by walking without her walker or cane much of the time.
2 CONT In December of 2000, she fell again while staying with Neena in Utah.  After a trip to a loca
2 CONC l concert, she tried to walk up a stairway without waiting for Neena to park the car and com
2 CONC e assist her, and fell down the steps, clonking her head in the process, and breaking her OTH
2 CONC ER hip.  This began a downward spiral in well being that culminated in her death on 22 Februa
2 CONC ry 2001 at the hospital.
2 CONT She was taken to the emergency room after her fall, where the medical people insisted there w
2 CONC as nothing seriously wrong with her and that she just needed to walk and exercise to regain s
2 CONC trength in her hip and leg.
2 CONT She suffered increasing pain and agony, until at Neena's insistence the Doctor reexamined he
2 CONC r and discovered she had broken her hip.  She was hospitalized, and varied in strength, but g
2 CONC radually weakening until she had difficulty breathing and expired peacefully after Neena insi
2 CONC sted they stop trying to keep her alive forcibly.  The respirator and other machines and tubi
2 CONC ng she had just before she died were attempts to keep her from having seizures and convulsing
2 CONC , all of which ceased when the heroic efforts were halted.  She hung on for only a short fe
2 CONC w moments afterward, and died peacefully with Neena present at her side.
