Wallingford/Jarlov Family Trees

Summer, 1994 recorded by Joan Mickler - Corinne Ogg Wallingford Farrar and Marjorie Ogg Courtney, daughters of Henry Warren Ogg, Jr. and Sarah Elizabeth Campbell:

Henry and Sarah both grew up in the country - around Field Store, Waller, Magnolia. The probably met and married there. Henry was a cabinet maker.

Their first home in Houston was on Whitman or Wickman off of Washington. (523 Wickman on Corinne's birth certificate)

When Corinne was 2, the family moved to 619 West 26th Street in the Heights. Henry had built the house - two rooms upstairs and two down. He added on to it through the years whenever he had the time and money.

Grandmother Ogg (Emmaline) lived with the family. Her bed was in the living room.

Margie (called Sister by Corinne and her family) was born in October of 1925. Aunt Gladys Scroggins (Sarah Elizabeth's sister) told Joan that Sarah never really got well from childbirth. Sarah died in January of 1926. Ernie was 17, Drew was almost 15, Leo was 12, Corinne was 5, and Margie was 3 months old.

Henry's mother Emmaline died a few days or weeks later. Sister has heard from somewhere that she caught pneumonia at Sarah's funeral.

Corinne cannot remember her mother or grandmother at all. She does remember lying on a brown leather sofa in the dining room crying, and that they sang "In the Sweet Bye and Bye at the funeral." She says it really worried her that she couldn't remember her mother - that when she had children, she would think that if anything happened to her while they were young, they would not remember her.
