RECOLLECTIONS OF MOTHER AND DADDY, by their children.

Daddy was born August 3, 1880, in Walkerton, Virginia, and went to school at Mr. Watson Walker's, about a mile or mile and a half from town, there being no school at Walkerton at that time. His father, James Robert Ryland, died at age 43 in 1891, leaving seven children, four boys and three girls, the youngest, Hugh, seven months old. Daddy was 11, named for his father, and called Robert.

He went to work at 13 at a sawmill owned by Mr. Walker and his brother. Then he and Gordon Walker got a contract to hack barrel staves, trucking them out on a large wheelbarrow. According to him, the only time in his life he ever slighted a job was when they put him to taking the hot staves, just steamed, from the chopper, and he'd find numerous excuses to go for water, or whatever; so they moved him to another spot.

In 1896 he stayed with cousin Willie Gwathmey at 'Canterbury' and made the corn crop, tended stock, and so forth. When he decided to come to Arkansas in 1897, she kissed him goodbye with tears in her eyes, saying "You're going to that swamp country and I'll never see you again."

At age 17 he came to Pine Bluff to work for Fox Brothers Hardware, started about 1882 by Hugh Fox, a cousin from Virginia. Hugh later persuaded his brother Fred, then two other brothers, J. William and Lee, to join him.

In 1902 he went into business for himself with Fred Fox, J. E. Boyce, and Will Fox, calling it Ryland Queensware, handling all kinds of china, pottery, cut glass, toys, etc., but it did not prove profitable. So he went back to Fox Brothers as a salesman, travelling over on the prairie for many years when we were growing up. He later became Vice President, and reluctantly retired at age 77. Many good friends around the territory often kept him overnight and took him hunting or fishing.

In June 1988, at the wedding reception for Elizabeth and Page Walt, Bill Place of the Altzheimer area told Marion that he remembered Daddy's taking him to ball games and one time bringing him a football, when he was a small boy. He was the handicapped son of Ralph Place, a good friend who later took Daddy to University of Arkansas football games in Little Rock when he no longer drove his car.

He was the second child of J. Robert and Nannie Porter Ryland. When circumstances permitted in Pine Bluff, he sent for his mother, her mother, and the other children.

Grandma Porter was the widow of Algernon Chastain Porter, wounded at the battle of Gettysburg, who died three days later in 1863. She gave him her wedding ring, a plain gold band said to have been made from a $50 gold piece, and with it he married Virginia Hudson. In the ring the inscriptions can still be read: "Gernie to Sallie 4-20-54" and "Robert to Virginia 4-6-10." Pictures taken as they left on the train for their honeymoon in Chicago show them to be a handsome couple.

Mother was born in 1884 (one Bible says 1885) in Star City, Arkansas, her mother's home. About 1888 Granddaddy Hudson's father, James Asbury Hudson, asked him to take over the Locust Cottage place to he could move to Florida and retire. So Mother grew up at Locust Cottage. Many tales have been told of the good times had there, the many visitors; how she never liked swimming, from her younger days of being "ducked" in the pond by her brothers and their friends; how she stayed in Pine Bluff with Aunt Mattie and Uncle Crawford while attending Miss Callie Jones's school (as did ten other nieces and nephews); how Crawford had polio as a child but still played football in high school, with the nickname "Crip" on the back of his uniform; and about Bessie's sad death at thirteen, probably of a ruptured appendix.

Daddy loved to hunt, and there were always bird dogs around when we were small. I remember a beautiful Irish setter named Major who loved to ride in the car so much he'd almost run over anyone starting in that direction.

When in the house he could recognized the sound of Daddy's car coming around the corner of 18th and Main and his tail would start wagging. "Too much pet," Daddy said, "No good for hunting."

Once I remember his bringing home a beautifully colored wild turkey -- another time, his leading a small billy goat for Robert down the back hall from the back door, and the look on Mother's face! Later he got a little wagon for the goat to pull, with Robert in the driver's seat. The goat did not remain with us long, as he was a bit hard on clothes on the line, and everything else within reach. Mother and Daddy both liked to garden.

He always had a vegetable garden, and she, flowers of all kinds. Sharing these with friends and neighbors was one of their chief pleasures; well I remember the delicious tomatoes, corn on the cob, okra, beans, lettuce, etc., he brought us after we moved back to Pine Bluff in 1946.

Robert recalls it being his job to change oil in the car, probably an A-model Ford touring car, one Saturday and grease it the next, and how patiently Daddy put up with him, teaching him to do a good job; also, a story of Daddy's travelling on the train early in his salesman days, riding in the engine and carrying a .22 rifle to shoot bullfrogs. When he hit one, the engineer would slow down enough for him to get off, pick it up, and get back on the last car.

Martha remembers how she sometimes went with Mother to Sadler's Grocery at 17th and Main, and now and then was sent there for a loaf of bread or something, always charging it. So one time she bought a toy without permission, and was terribly embarrassed when Mother sent her back to return it.

Daddy taught her to drive out in Graceland Cemetery, and for practice, let her drive him on his rounds one day making calls in the country. After school once she walked in on Nancy trying on an evening coat Mother was making for her Christmas present. That was no secret anymore, so Daddy, knowing how much she wanted a radio of her own, surprised her with one on the big day.

When Martha's son Jim Jarvis was 12, the family came to Pine Bluff for Christmas, being told there would not likely be snow. But a Major Beery seeded the clouds to bring a white Christmas to "all the boys and girls," so Pine Bluff was snowy while Logan, Utah, was not. Martha's husband, Jimmie Jarvis, remembers Mother as "such a lady," and how beautifully Daddy carved the meat or fowl at meals.

Most summers Mother and Daddy drove to Logan to visit the Jarvis', at different times bringing with them Virginia Love and once Martha Williamson.

In 1956 Mother had flown out for the expected arrival of Ben Jarvis, and Daddy brought Nancy and daughters Anne and Martha out, by way of the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone Park, the Painted Desert, and other sights. Mother always liked the Bing cherries and would laughingly say she had thrown their seeds from the car window all the way from Utah to Pine Bluff.

They were there when the big earthquake occurred. Electricity went off, so the Coleman was found and Daddy figured out how to work it so they could make coffee. During the next week of aftershocks, Mother would read about it in the paper and say, "Mr. Ryland, Mr. Ryland, we'd better go home."

When Mother would catch Daddy snoring while resting and listening to a baseball game on the radio, she would turn it off, and he would rouse and insist that he was listening. Sure enough, he could tell you about it, inning by inning.

At home, Mother was often out before breakfast in an old suede jacket and one of Daddy's hats, feeding the birds her Magic Mix -- or in summertime, nightie tucked up, cutting flowers and putting them in water in the aluminum quart measure on the back steps "before it got hot." She always had pretty arrangements in the house.

When the Jarvis' had just moved into the house they built in Logan, with no grass or flowers yet, on her regular walks Mother would chat with Miss Caldwell acorss the street and admire her beautiful garden. Mother could not understand not being offered some of the flowers. She used whatever was available to fix pretty bowls for the house, sometimes the chicory that grew in the field behind their house.

Another family story: When hearing that Robert did not want to go to a party at the big house across from Virginia Johnson's, whom he dated, because he feared being out of place, Mother pepped up his sense of pride and family heritage by telling him he was just as good as anyone who would be there, and probably had a better family background than most.

All remember how Mother could always stretch a meal if unexpected family or friends dropped in, insisting they stay. She could always go to her pantry and fix a beautiful fruit plate to take to someone, or for feeding the extras. And so many told us, "You girls are getting better looking as you grow up, but you'll never be as pretty as your mother."

How thankful we children are to have grown up in such a wonderful, loving, Christian home. From the time he came to Pine Bluff, Daddy was an active member, later a long-time deacon, of First Baptist Church, where his uncle Edwin Ryland (Uncle Ned, as we all knew him) was already a member. His grandfather, Josiah Ryland, had been one of the founding members and a 46-year deacon in Bruington Baptist Church of Walkerton, Virgina. Mother was an interested and active member of First Presbyterian Church and took us children to Sunday School and membership there. We owe much to the nurture
of our parents and the Christian home they made for us.
