Notes for Pleasant William Cave: Buried in Restland, Greenville Ave at Restland Rd., Space 1, Lot No. 22, Block C. Section Q. As a boy he lived in Memphis, Tenn, Henryetta, and Sapulpa, Okla.; Springfield, Ozark and Clever, Mo. He attended school in Ozark, Mo. His parents died when he was still a child and was raised by Aunts and a Grandmother. He joined the U.S.Army as soon as he could in Lawton, OK (Ft. Sill) later transferred to Ft. Bliss, Texas (82nd Field Artillery) in December 1939, where he met his wife Amma Alveeta Tyler. He worked for Southern Pacific RR as a fireman in El Paso, Texas, also Safeway Warehouse. He drove for the El Paso City Bus Lines. He told his daughter how once he was working on the top of a train and it started to move and he had to jump and in the process broke both his feet. He made coveralls for both his children from the pants he wore as a bus driver. The slacks were made from good gabardine, he only wore out the seat. He drove for Braswell Freight Lines in El Paso and often hauled explosives so that he could make more money to provide for his family. He was a very patient man and loved to tell jokes. In the summer of 1951 he and his family moved to Ozark, MO where they bought a place out in the country. We had two goats, some pigs, a cow, a strawberry patch a huge peach orchard and each had a horse. Daddy bought me a shetland pony on the way to Missouri, complete with a cowgirl outfit, boots, and hat and a Hop-A-Long Cassidy bridle and saddle. My parents divorced when I was about 11 years old, he later married Barbara Woolsey Moore and had two children. Concidentally, my half sister, Barbara and I both love to sew. He gave her the nickname of "Peaches". One day he was holding her and playing with her and turned to her mother and said "Isn't she a peach?" I remember at Christmas time he always made us a large container, gaily wrapped with cellophane, filled with nuts, tangerines, and ribbon candy.
October 30, 2000: spoke with Linda George, 106 E. Apache, Jenks, OK 74037, phone 918-299-5371, who taught school in the 1930's in Jenks, OK. She is retired and started teach at age 19, she recalled an incident with Jack, getting in trouble, tearing up paper and he wouldn't clean it up. She really didn't remember Daddy too much just remembered the Cave boys and thought they lived with their Grandmother, Mrs. Fray, she told me about the Hotel she owned and said that Debra Grubbs was the local post mistress and had a son David Grubbs and that Mary Agnes O'Brien owned a cafe there in town.
