MISENER, MAMIE STUART (TUCKER)
Hamilton Herald February 1937
Last Rites for Mrs. Mamie Misener Here
Mrs. Mamie Stuart Misener, widow of the late Richard
Oliver Misener, of Hamilton, quietly fell into the last long sleep in the
twilight hours of Monday evening, February 1. Mrs. Misener was making her
home with her nephew, Henry Sartwelle and family, in Houston, and it was
there in her room that the end came.
The body of Mrs. Misener, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Sartwelle and James Sartwelle, of Houston; George Sartwelle, of Del
Rio, Texas; Paschal Sartwelle, of Lake Charles, Louisiana, and Mrs. Carter
Brockenbrough, of Waco, was received by a group of friends in Hamilton on
Wednesday afternoon at one o'clock, and conveyed to St. Mary's Episcopal
church. The remains
lay in state until 2:30 o'clock, when the memorial
services were conducted by Rev. Wentworth A. Riemann, rector of St. Mary's
Episcopal church at Lampasas.
Burial was made in the family plot in the Graves-Gentry
Cemetery, where her beloved husband was laid to rest in October 1902.
Pallbearers were J. Edgar Moore, Cecil B. James, Malcom
James, John R. Eidson, Cecil D. Tate, and Robert C. Williams.
Mrs. Misener, familiar to many Hamilton friends as
"Miss Mamie", was for quite a good many years a resident of
Hamilton, and a brief review of her interesting life will be read with
appreciation. Mamie Stuart Tucker was the eldest of four children born to
Dr. George W. Tucker and Mrs. Margaret Stuart Glover Tucker, Thibodaux,
Louisiana, was the birthplace of Mrs. Misener, who at the time of her
death was 83 years five months and 20 days old. Her mother died in
Louisiana, and in 1875, she came out to Texas with her father, sister and
brother, and the family settled at Comanche, where Dr. Tucker practiced
his profession as a physician, and surgeon. The subject of this sketch
came to Hamilton to make her home after her marriage
to Richard Oliver Misener in Hamilton, in July 1895. He
died in October 1902. Mrs. Misener went to Palacios, Texas, soon after the
death of Mr. Misener in October 1902, to make her home on a ranch with
relatives, though for a number of years she retained property interests in
Hamilton, and until the past decade visited friends in Hamilton
occasionally.
Survivors of Mrs. Misener are a sister and brother, Mrs.
W. D. Sartwelle of Palacios, Texas; and George G. Tucker of Los Angeles,
California and twelve nephews and nieces and a number of great nieces and
nephews.
