Unfortunately, I have only skimpy information about Dan.
Seems my grandmother, Maureine (Polly) McAnally Williams/Conway was a teacher in Alexandria, La kept in touch with him, but never heard much.
Polly and Big Sister (called so because she was the eldest), were good friends throughout their lives and I visited Cameron in the late 40s and early 50s.Billy Bob and Earnest were there. Use to see Billy Day and his sister from Bellaire there.Abbey Reese (Harvey) and my mother called themselves "kissing cousins."Grandpa(RL) Batte used to take me in his long black Caddy around Milam County as he was checking on his ranches and cotton gins and mills.My sister snuck into his room to look at his glass eye :>)I was always treated well at The Sycamores, but there were so many people around and in and out that it was confusing.
My sister and I were in Cameron and looked up The Sycamores a couple of years ago.It had been burned down by vandals just a few years prior to our visit..
Another brother to Dan was Dwight (maybe the eldest). He was a Colonel in the Army and was stationed on Johnson Island (I think) in the Pacific. He lived in Dallas after WWII and I saw him occasionally during my young life. His son, Dwight Jr, lives in a suburb (maybe Corrales) of Alburquerque.I have emailed him, but have not been able to see him.I am 70. He must be about 80.
Polly, my grandmother, I believe told me that Dan was a Marine in WWII and won a Silver or Bronze Star.
I will try to remember to collect all my McAnally info and send it to you when I am together with my files.
Keep in touch
Ray
PS i am interested in your branch of the McAnallys.And as I said earlier in any of their antecedents.
PPS I will look at the McAnally posting and see if I know who the poster was. You did mean a posting on this website, right?
