Notes

Verie was born to Cornelius W. (William) Ford (1857-1926) and his wife, Texana [Whitley] Ford (1861-1946). When the couple married in 1880, they lived in Bosque County, Texas, but by the time of the 1900 census, they had moved to the  Payne Gap area. Both Verie and her brother Michael were likely born in Payne Gap. Verie probably died at birth, while Michael lived a year and a half. By the 1910 census, the family had left Payne Gap and were living in Big Spring, Texas, where both Cornelius and Texana passed. The couple had a total of  eleven children.


The headstones of both Verie and her brother, Michael, were conserved by Sam Duncan and Jeffrey Lee on November 24, 2024. See attached photographs.
