• Notes

  Lemuel Hogue resided in Birmingham, Alabama, where he was an iron ore miner before relocating to Messer, Choctaw County, oklahoma. He worked as a sawmill laborer, song teacher, farmer, and constable and was of the Church of Christ faith. Lemuel Hogue bought 20 acres of land from Kizzie Anderson on March 11, 1914. This land was sold back to her on March 13, 1916. The following article appeared in The Sunday Daily on February 10, 1916: Lem Hogue got seriously hurt one day last week. He was cutting down some trees and one lodged against another and he cut that one down. The one that lodged did not fall the way he expected it would, but came down on him breaking his back and crushing him so badly that he is not expected to recover. Lemuel Hogue became paralyzed from his waist down when a falling tree broke his back while he was sawing wood for the winter. He was a patient at the State Hospital in Oklahoma City on account of this accident. His wife Jenny miscarried her baby girl and died from pulmonary embolism of septic origin (infection). The following article appeared in The Choctaw Herald on March 30, 1916: Mrs. J. L. Hogue died at her home on the west side Friday p.m. at 4 o'clock. Mrs. Hogue was sick only a few days and her death was very sudden. She leaves a husband and four or five children. She is the wife of Mr. Hogue who was so severely injured by a falling tree near Messer some time ago and who is now in a very critical condition, being paralyzed from the hips down and not able to sit up. The family moved to the city some time ago so Mr. Hogue would be nearer to a physician. Lemuel Hogue wrote the following letter from D. D. Palmer Memorial Hospital in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, to Francis Marion Hogue on January 18, 1917: My Dear Bro, I received [your] most welcome letter yesterday. [I] was glad to learn you was all well. I am in better health than I was when I come here. My swim is clearing up and [I] feel lots better, but my legs and feet hurt me awful bad. [I] don't know whether I am ever going to get over the paralysis or not. Sometimes I think I will. They have not let me sit up any since I come here. I have been here six weeks last Sunday and I am getting awful tired of the bed. We are having some bad weather out here. We have had three snows since I come here. Marion, I think you made a mistake when you went back to that country. If you had been out here last you could have made a good crop. If you was here now you could be making $1.50 or $2.00 a day and you are only getting 75 cents where you are. I don't see how you can make a living working at 75 cents a day. If I had not got hurt I would have fifteen bales of cotton year and corn feed stuff to do me this year, but it is all off with me now. I don't guess I will ever be able to do anything that's worth much. I want to see you all mighty bad. I would like to see papa (Joseph Mahoney Hogue) and his wife and children. I am glad he has got a home and is satisifed in his old days. I wish he rest, but I don't guess they want to hear from me bad enough to write. I have answered their letters just as promptly as I do yours. Is papa living a Christian? What is [his] religious belief now? Write me all you know about all the folks and send me John's address. I will write him again. I will close for this time. I can't write good lying in bed. Give my love to all. As Ever, Lem Lemuel Hogue lived about 18 months following Jenny's death. Lemuel's brother Jesse Fields Hogue moved Lemuel and his sons into the town of Hugo. From his wheelchair, Lemuel Hogue ran a popcorn machine on Main Street each Saturday. he and his wife are buried in unmarked graves at Springs Chapel Cemetery near Hugo, Choctaw County, Oklahoma James Earl Ray
