1053 Hiram was born on his father's father in Shelbyville, Bedford County, Tennessee. He came to Morton, Ray County, Missouri in the summer of 1850 with his family. He was raised on his father's farm northeast of Morton. His father, Thomas, died in 1855, when Hiram was 9. Hiram and his siblings all received a portion of the Lentz farm. His oldest brother, Nathan, became the father figure for the family, as everyone continued to work the land.

During the Civil War, Hiram's two older brothers, Nathan & Thomas, left and fought for the Confederacy, leaving Hiram and his older brother, Josephus, as the men of the house and protecting the land, as the Battle of Shaw's Shop occurred nearby.

Hiram continued to live and work on his father's land until 1875, when he and siblings all sold their interest in the Lentz farm to their brother Nathan. Hiram then rented a nearby farm in Morton. On October 3, 1876, he married Ivanetta Metts, in Hardin.

In 1882, Hiram purchased a large farm next to his father-in-law, Isaiah Metts, just west of Hardin, stretching all the way South to the Crooked River. It was there that he died the next year, while fishing, at the age of 37. As of 2021, this farm is still operated by Hiram's descendants.

He was preceded in death by his father; an infant daughter, Jesse May; and a brother, Thomas.

He was survived by his wife, Ivanetta, and sons, Virgil & Olan, of the home in Hardin; his mother, Lucinda, of Morton; brothers, Nathan, Josephus, Alfred, & Andrew of Morton, Jim of Hardin, and Phillip of Nevada; sisters, Ann Letholt and Amy Bush of Russellville, and Margaret Brown of Rockingham; uncles, John & Nathan Schooler of Millville, and James Schooler of Altoona, Kansas; and aunts, Nancy Winsett of Lemoore, California, Mary Albertson of Knoxville, Martha Graham of Georgeville, and Jane Haynes & Amanda Davis of Richmond.

He was preceded in death by his father Thomas Lents and one daughter Jesse May Lentz.

Katherine was among the very first Athabascans to marry an Ammerican, and as the wife of the senior trader, she played an important role in integrating the white and Native cultures. Many of the Native women who married white men were scorned as were some of the white men they married. These men were called "squaw men," a rude term which has persisted into the 1990's.

1099 IN MEMORY ELNORA MCQUISTON

Elnora Eugenia Preuss McQuiston flew away into the arms of our Heavenly Father on Christmas Day, 2021 at the age of 96, just 3 weeks short of her birthday on January 12th. She was a native Texan, born in Structure, Texas, a little town 10 miles southeast of Taylor and founded in the early 1920’s. Born in 1925, she must have been one the first newborns in the new town, as the population was 10 in 1933, of which three were her and her parents, Emma and Charley Preuss. Elnora’s graduation class from Thrall High School in 1942 totaled 34. She attended her last class reunion in 2017 with the only other surviving classmate, Roy Krieg.

In 1964, the family moved back from D.C. to Austin and found a home in Rollingwood, where she lived until April of 2021, when she moved to Weatherford, Texas to live with her son, Dennis, and daughter-in-law Sherrie’. She was famous for her chocolate pies (requested for every family occasion) and her turkey dressing at Thanksgiving. She had to make extra dressing for all the grandkids to take home. She enjoyed reading, playing with her white Bichon Frise’ Lily, visiting with friends and family and eating breakfast at IHOP, Dan’s or McDonalds with special friends. You might have seen her at these places in her 1989 red Cadillac, a surprise Valentine’s Day present from her loving husband.

Elnora was predeceased by her parents and her husband George, with whom she had a wonderful Christian marriage for 65 years, providing a perfect model for her family. They met at the SPJST dance hall in Taylor, Texas while he was serving in the Navy, and they married in 1944.

She is survived by her two sons Dennis (Sherrie’) and Bobby (Margaret), and grandchildren Michael (Cara) McQuiston, Michelle (Aaron) Erickson, Russel McQuiston, Nathan McQuiston, Ryan McQuiston, Melody Ellis and Heather Phillips. She is also survived by eight loving great-grandchildren.

Elnora and George were members of First Southern Presbyterian (renamed Central Presbyterian) for 35-40 years, then enjoyed Covenant Presbyterian. In 2013, she joined Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church, but only once Pastor Tom arrived, as she (and all of us!) loved his enthusiasm, passion and vision. Almost immediately she began volunteering to work on the church bulletins every week, where she soon was called the “Queen of the Team.”

Elnora was a true sweetheart who will be remembered as a kind, loving, gentle, gracious and elegant lady who cared for all people and made everyone feel loved, especially her family and her Shepherd of the Hills church family.

She will be greatly missed.

A memorial service will be at noon on Thursday, December 30 at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church in West Lake Hills, 3325 Bee Cave Road.

Gifts in memory of Elnora may be given to the Shepherd of the Hills Endowment Fund (by check mailed to 3525 Bee Caves Rd., Austin TX 78746, or online at onrealm.org/shephills/give/McQuiston, or a charity of your choice.https://
