Jarnagin Family Genealogy Information and Photographs:
Introduction by Ann Jarnagin Pendroy:
January 2011
In 1972 my sister, Nancy thankfully
sat down with our grandfather, Philip Carl Jarnagin (called Carl) and went
through all his family pictures. They spent much time documenting who is in
each one. My grandfather asked my sister to please set aside time to do this as
he never wanted to think about these wonderful pictures ending up in an antique
shop somewhere, or possibly lost or destroyed upon his death. Grandpa Carl then
had Nancy preserve them in a beautiful very large wall-frame in her home to
enjoy.
Over the years, the pictures were moved to a trunk. I recently asked my sister
for these pictures so I could share them with interested relatives and preserve
them forever on the internet. She was very glad to do this, and this website is
the result. All are the pictures from Nancy's collection with the exception of
the last one of the twins, which was given to me back in the 80's by my father,
Clyde Wesley Jarnagin. Miscellaneous other snapshots are also from my photo
collection.
Please
know it is possible to "Right Click" on the LARGEST or FULL-SIZE
picture and "SAVE PICTURE AS" into your own computer. This allows you to make it into an
actual photograph to frame or place in your own photo albums.
(In most cases the smaller and
initially displayed image is too small to have made into a photograph.)
You will also see pictures of several
beautiful keepsakes that were given to me by my Grandfather Philip
"Carl" and my father, Clyde Wesley Jarnagin.
Thank you, Nanc for all your efforts and to my
husband Don for all the webmaster work. And rest assured, Grandpa Isaac,
Grandpa Henry, Grandpa Carl and my father Clyde, these treasures will now last
for all time!!!!

Grace Catherine Jarnagin Evans and husband Sam Evans. Grace is the sister of
Philip "Carl" Jarnagin and the daughter of Henry Laten
Jarnagin and Susan Florance Maines
Jarnagin. What follows below this picture is an excerpt from one of Uncle Sam's
journals.
Narrative transcribed by Ann Jarnagin Pendroy:
My great uncle, Sam Evans, wrote a journal circa 1912 about his, and the Jarnagin's, move to Stenen,
Canada. I will follow this narrative with:
1. How Uncle Sam fits into the our Jarnagin family.
2. Excerpts from his journal, which were given to me by my sister Nancy.
First, however, I want to share my memories of Uncle Sam. When I was a small
child-very young, my Great Uncle Sam would visit from California. My
grandfather Philip "Carl" Jarnagin would always look forward to his
visits. Sam was his brother-in-law, having married my Grandfather Carl's
sister, Grace. My Aunt Grace died in January 1953, just prior to my birth. My
grandfather Carl loved her so, and spoke about her often. Grandpa Carl also
loved her husband and his brother-in-law, Sam Evans, who Grandpa often said was
just like a blood brother, he was so close to the family. Uncle Sam was a
beautiful man, and I would always know he would greet me with a candy bar so he
was extra special!
I was so happy to find this journal excerpt in with the pictures Nancy had in
her trunk.
Uncle Sam's Journal:
Sam Evans wrote the following excerpt in 1912 when he went to homestead in Stenen, Canada with several members of the Jarnagin family,
who will be diagramed further within the text excerpt.
1. Sam Evans was the husband of Grace Jarnagin.
2. Grace Jarnagin was the daughter of Henry Laten
Jarnagin and Susan Florance Jarnagin.
3. Grace Jarnagin was the sister of Philip "Carl" Jarnagin.
4. Philip "Carl" Jarnagin was the father of Clyde Wesley Jarnagin.
5. Clyde Wesley Jarnagin was the father of Janet, Nancy and Ann.
….."I stayed on that place (1.5 miles north of Prairie City) until
the first of March 1912 and had an auction sale and moved to Stenen, Saskatchewan, Canada.
When my wife, Grace, and I decided to go to Canada to farm, several of our
relatives decided to go as well. Those people were as follows:
1. Henry Laten Jarnagin and Susan Florance
Maines Jarnagin, my wife Grace's parents.
2. My wife's two brothers and one sister-in-law: Philip "Carl"
Jarnagin, his wife Mamie, and Grace's youngest brother, Earl.
3. My brother, Dave, his wife Bertha, who was Grace's sister, and their two
little girls.
4. My brother, Bill.
We chartered 3 large box cars and a combination sleeping car with a cook stove
in one end. In the three boxcars we put eleven horses, two cows, and the most
important household goods from the three families: stoves, beds, bedding, a few
chairs, and several barrels of canned fruit and vegetables and wagon, top
buggies, and harness. Most of our Iowa machinery was too small for Canada
farming, but we had our cars quite full. In fact, they were so full that when
we got to Minnesota they told us we were overloaded and made us pay about
$30.00 for each car. I didn't think we were too full and I think it was a
racket those train men had. There were 10 adults and 3 kids-Phyllis, Gladys and
Philip Evans and it took 7 days to get to Stenen,
Saskatchewan, our destination.
We were stopped on a sidetrack nearly as much as we were traveling. The law
says one cannot keep livestock in a car on a train only so many hours, so they
shunted us on a sidetrack where there was a stockyard, and unloaded the stock
and let them rest for three or four hours, and we did that two times on the
trip.
Another stunt they pulled on us twice after we arrived across the Canadian
border and after we left the Canadian main line and pulled into a small town,
Swan River, was one-the agent came out and told us there was some charges on
the cars we would have to pay before they would take us on. One time it was
$20.00 and one time $15.00 dollars for each car, and
then we would pull out our contract and show them we were prepaid to Stenen, Sask., Canada. When I asked him what it was for, he
said he didn't know, but I would have to pay it if I wanted to go on. I said
okay, "Write us a receipt and I will pay you." My father-in-law,
Henry paid too, and after we got settled in Stenen I
wrote Mr. W. H. Brown of M. and Saint L. Railroad of Des Moines, Iowa, who we
paid in full before leaving Colfax, and he said we were both paid in full and
if I would send him our receipts he would see that we would get our money
refunded, and we did.
But where we made our mistake-we left Iowa about the first part of March and
the farther north we went, the colder it got and the deeper the snow. When we
finally arrived in Stenen, the weather was below zero
and it didn't look like spring at all-about three feet of snow on the level.
The conductor of the train told us about an hour before we arrived in Stenen to get our bedding and cooking utensils packed up as
he was taking the coach on with him. When we told him we had taken that up with
Mr. Brown of the M. and Saint L. Railroad he sent a telegram to the Great
Northern Railroad in Winnipeg and told them the situation, and if they would
leave the coach on the siding for three days, and we supposed it was arranged.
The conductor said: "Sorry, I can give you three days on the boxcars, but
my orders are to bring the coach back." I'm sure you can't imagine the
feeling that came over us when we were told to vacate the coach within twenty
minutes after we arrived at our destination about the middle of March in 1912,
and 10 degrees below, and no hotel, where we had intended to stay until we got
settled!
We all began to wonder who's bright idea it was that talked
us into coming to this cold country anyway. But the people in Stenen were very gracious and good to us. A man named
Morton had just built a new house and he let us move into it for awhile.
In Stenen there was a depot, two general stores, a
post office, hardware store, band, three farm machinery stores, and a
lumberyard. All had living quarters over their stores and offices, even the
livery barn, which was a very important business back then. The town of Stenen was only about five years old.
I had written to a man in Stenen during the winter of
1911 about finding me a house to live in when I came, and he found one on a
farm that joined mine. But when I went out to see the house that the man, Mr.
Thompson, had rented for me -he was with me-we found it full of oats, which had
been grown on the farm the year before. Henry, my wife's father, had a house on
his farm too, and it was also full of grain. It took us about a week to get the
grain out of our houses, then we moved in. We had to
unload our boxcars within three days or pay demurrage for each day after that.
All of this was done in 10 below weather. I can't understand why somebody
didn't tell us that a month later would be soon enough to come, as we did all
our planting in May and all of our harvest happened in September.
The first job after we got moved and settled was getting a lot of wood.
Everybody burned wood, and it took a lot of it. I had three stoves
going-kitchen-dining-living room, and the living room stove going 24 hours a
day. The first year was the hardest in regards to the wood situation, after
that we built us a wood rack and after the first good snow in the winter we
would go up north. We would travel 10-15 miles up north with our wood rack on
the sled and get all the wood we wanted just for cutting it down. Usually 2
neighbors would go together and help each other load and be home before dark
with a load 6 feet wide and 5 feet high and some of it 30 feet long. When we
would get about eight or ten of the loads home, we would hire a man with a
power saw to come in and saw it up, and we would have enough wood to last a
year. Then we'd do the same thing the next winter.
The town of Stenen in 1912 had a population of about
60 or 70 and was on a branch of the Canadian National Railway that came west
from Swan River, Manitoba, for about 100 miles, and the end of the line was
about 20 miles west of Stenen. The train came up from
Swan River one day to the end of the line and back the next day. But as
homesteaders and buyers came in and took up the land, the town soon boomed to
about 400. I bought 3 quarter sections or 480 acres of land. I found it was
much easier farming in Canada than in Iowa."
Notes by Ann Jarnagin Pendroy:
My Grandfather Philip "Carl" and Grandmother, Mamie returned to Iowa
circa 1914 and had their first born child, Hugh Laten
Jarnagin.
Henry and Susan Jarnagin returned to California circa 1923 and stayed about a
year. They then returned to Prairie City, Iowa where they lived the rest of
their lives. -end-

Those were the days when I called grandpa "Grand Daddy Long Legs" and he called me "Little Short Legs."
