Birdwell
In 1886, Eli Birdwell came from Johnson County and bought a section of land south of what is now Novice, and built a small house for his family. Shortly afterward, his wife, Sallie Ellen arrived in Coleman City by train with their four small children. The Birdwells soon built another home- a long, rambling house surrounded by porches or "galleries"- and used the first house as a kitchen and a bunk house for hired hands. Eli and Sallie had four more children. All the children went to school at Rough Creek, one of these children was "Kit" Birdwell. (One of Eli sisters was Malinda Anna Birdwell White, who was my Great, Grand- Mother, BW) Kit Birdwell stayed in Novice, married Mattie Beatrice Pringle and they lived briefly in Dallas and Kennedale. They were living in Kennedale when Kit was notified by telephone that his brother was critically ill. He understood that it was his mother. Unable to get a jitney, he set out walking, then got a ride to Ft Worth and took the train to Novice. His brother later died. Kit and Mattie moved back to Novice to be near his mother, they farmed and later had a store.
