MRS. ARVEZENA NAUGLE
Biographical souvenir of the State of
Texas, @1889
Biographical Sketches, p 630
Mrs. Arvezena Naugle was born in
Tennessee September 1, 1831, but while yet an infant was taken by her parents to
Daviess county, Missouri, where she was reared. In 1851 the family came to
Texas, and consisted of Jesse Adamson, of Tennessee and his wife Priscilla
(Wilson) Adamson, of South Carolina, and their ten children, of which number
Arvezena is the seventh.
In 1853 Miss Arvezena Adamson was
married to Benjamin J. Naugle, a native of Indiana, who came to Texas with his
parents about 1846, and in 1846-47 served in the war with Mexico. On marrying,
he and wife secured a pre-emption right to 160 acres, he having previously
secured a head-right to 320 acres. On this land he continued farming and stock
raising until 1862, when he enlisted in the Confederate service and performed
duty in Texas, Arkansas and in the Indian Territory: was mostly on guard
service, and so continued until the close of the war; although in several
skirmishes he was neither wounded nor captured, but he contracted a chronic
diarrhea from which he never recovered, and which was partly the cause of his
sudden death, August 31, 1871.
Mrs. Naugle bore her husband five
children, namely -- William C., Jesse J., Leonidas L., Zora A. and Benjamin J.,
and all the sons have become prominent citizens of their county. With their aid
Mrs. Naugle has managed her large estate since her husband's death, and have now
a model farm--one of the most productive in the county. For over thirty years
Mrs. Naugle has been a devoted member of the Methodist Episcopal church South,
of which her husband was also a member of long standing; her children are all
members of the same denomination, and her son Leonidas is a minister of that
faith.
