Nancy married Welton Cook ca 1864 in
Missouri at the age of 21.
After Mr. Cook's death in 1890, she
married Tom Hash in November 29, 1891 at
Laclede, Missouri.
After
Sarah Jane Hash Myers' husband died in
1890, she traveled to Texas with her
five children and her brothers in
a covered wagon. Along the way,
Sarah came down sick with a fever.
There was no doctor nearby.
The family camped at the edge of
an Indian village since the Indians
would only allow Tom to bring Sarah
into the village for treatment.
They stayed in the village until
Sarah recovered enough to travel.
The Hash and Myers families
settled in the Pottsboro area of
Grayson County.

"Aunt Jane" as the
whole community knew her, came
to live with "Uncle Tom" after
her husband died in 1898 in
Indiana, leaving her with
several children.
Aunt Jane was loved by all the
local young people because she
was so much fun to be with;
she would walk with them to
church or to community dances
and even act as chaperone on
their dates.

Note from
Natalie Bauman
"Tom Hash
died about a month before
his sister Sarah Jane Hash
Myers did, Saturday December
4, 1943 at his home after a
three month illness.
He is buried at Locust
Cemetery, close to
Pottsboro. His wife
Ellie Avaline is buried next
to him. There is no
marked tombstone, only a
rock."
Tom was born
26 May 1862 in Indiana
and died 4
December 1943 in Pottsboro.
Nancy Avaline Cook Hash was
born in 1846 in Missouri and
died in 1918 in
Pottsboro.
I am not sure exactly where
they are, but there is a
place where Gertie Clountz
Smith is buried in
Locust Cemetery; Tom Hash
was her great uncle, so he
and his wife may be next to
Gertie in a family
plot.
Another Clountz, Gertie's
twin brother, Bertie, is
buried just across from
Gertie, so the Hash burial
is probably very near or
next to them. Some
rock markers are right next
to Gertie Clountz Smith's
grave that could be theirs.
Tom was a
member of the Locust Church
of Christ, which then moved
their building in his
lifetime to the Willow
Springs area, a few miles
away, on land donated by the
Driggers family and across
the road from the Clountz
place.
