Notes:
Name has been spelled many different ways. Pruett, Pruitt, Prewitt, Prewett
She was born in Arkansas and moved to Brown Co., Tx. and was 8 on the 1880
census. She moved to Durango, Colorado to live with her sister, Eliza Preuett
Brabbin. She met and married Frank Lemuel Hildreth and they had their son
Ernest while living there. Frank was injured when he was kicked in the head by
a horse and she took her family back to Tx. to be near her family. We have no
idea why she stopped in Belle Plains, Callahan Co. rather than going on to
Brown Co., but she did. This is where Daisy was born in 1894.

Daisy was born in Belle Plain, Callahan, Texas. Her father has been seriously
injured and her mother traveled from Montrose, Colorado with her invalid
husband and young son to Texas. She hoped to gain help from her family in her
time of need. Daisy was born here, but we had no idea where her Arkansas
family came into the Texas picture. After many hours of research we found her
mother's family living in nearby Brown Co., Tx. in 1880 and 1890. We hope to
fine a record of the family in 1900 in Texas, although this has not yet
happened. We know that Daisy moved at one year or so to Wynnewood,Ok. We find
records in Ok. very difficult to track and hope that something will come forth.
At this time we have searched for her mother's family in Ok. and Ark. in 1900.
We have searched in Tx. and feel that perhaps they relocated and we missed them
in our Tx. search and will look again. Daisy's aunt Ardovie lived with her
family in Wynnewood during 1900, (letters addressed to her father at this
address dated in 1900 provide this information). Daisy said that they moved to
Perry so her aunt could attend high school and that after Ardovie graduated and
married they moved to Durango, Co. where her mother died of TB in 1902.
Daisy moved to Michigan and then to Fremont, Neb. with her father, after her
mother died, and her father had remarried. She met and married her first
husband (age 16) while living here. She had just had her second daughter and
was living in San Diego, California when he husband Walter died suddenly of
TB.
Several years later she met and married Milton Lester Kinkler. Much
information is on file concerning this union. The information is written by
Daisy and in possession of Janet L. Conlin
