Curtis William Stockton, Sr., 91, passed away in the Menard Nursing Home Thursday, March 18, 2004. Graveside services were held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 21, at the Fort McKavett Cemetery.
Curtis was born and raised at Fort McKavett. He grew up fishing and hunting on the headwaters of the San Saba River. He did everything from shearing sheep for pennies a head, to drilling water wells. He saw times change from running barefoot or riding horseback to Model A’s, to his old blue Dodge pickup.
In 1948 he married Mary Helen Jackson. They moved to Schleicher County to begin farming and ranching. Curtis loved the birth of animals, the growth of crops, and a good garden. And if there was a good rain and flood, he “rode” his boat on the San Saba River from Fort McKavett to Menard.
Curtis recently received his 50 year pin with the Masonic Lodge.
Survivors include two sons, Curtis and wife, Jeannie, of Houston and Curt of Menard; one daughter, Maggie Lew Middleton and husband, Ronnie, of Eldorado; grandchildren, Trey Stockton and wife, Lisa, of Houston, Shy Lowe, Shianne, and Lonnie Middleton of Eldorado and great-grandchildren, Will Stockton, Brees and Bray Guevara.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Mary Helen; three brothers, Bill, Jim and Poochie; a sister, Flora and a daughter, Patsy Jo Bradley.
Honorary pallbearers were his grandsons and nephew, Sam Stockton.
Arrangements were by Gentry-Fife Funeral Home. Condolences may be sent to the family at www.gentryfifefuneralhome.com.
