Apr 1905 in Lufkin, Angelina County, TX, daughter of Samuel

-- FACT #2 -: Their (Abb, Lee & Laura
Johnson) Mother died during the epidemic of Yellow Fever and the
father could not care for the children alone ... so a daughter
named Laura was placed with relatives that wanted a girl to
raise; and Albert and Lee place with uncle and aunt John & Nancy
Smith. John & Nancy Smith had limited resources but wanted
the two boys, so another bachelor Uncle named Doc Williamson who
was financially prosperous furnished the money for their
expenses. The father married again and had another family.
The children had grown to love the homes they had been placed in
and did not want to leave.
Burial: Wesley Chapel Cemetery, Houston Co.,
TX
More About Ida Yates:
-- FACT #1 -: Ida Yates
married W. E. Bell when she was 16 years old. The family of
Wilson Bell moved to Houston County about 1877 from TN. It is
very possible the Bell and Yates families left TN to TX at the
same time. Ida Yates-Bell then married a Mr. Smith
with a daughter; Mr. Smith abandoned Ida and his daughter, as
well as their daughter (Della) after Della was born and
diagnosed with a heart defect (hole in the heart).
-- FACT #2 -: Ida (Yates) Bell-Smith was in
Galveston, TX at the time of the Sept. 1900 hurricane that
almost destroyed the island. She and her family left on the last
train to leave the Island. ... As the train was going
toward the mainland, Ida could look out the back of the train
and see the Gulf waters covering the tracks behind them. She
told me, (Billie) that they had no idea the storm would be so
bad. She was working at a sewing factory located in long metal
buildings on the main road to the beach in Galveston. They
worked until it became apparent that they must all leave the
Island. She went home, and they waded water sometimes waist deep
to her to get to the train.
-- FACT #3 -: Ida was a midwife like her
mother. When the daughters of midwives wanted to become one,
they went with and assisted their mothers until they were
trained in this field. Ida became more than a midwife, she was
an assistant to the local doctors. She told of the flu epidemic
in Houston County, TX that killed hundreds. She had nursed her
family through that time and when they were all out of danger
and the epidemic struck the Coal Mine settlement between
Crockett and Lovelady she went to help, remaining there several
weeks. At that time there were stores, company homes and a very
large settlement of people there. She said that there was almost
no household that was not ill.
