See obituary notices and letters. She, her parents, and her sister came to Texas from Mooringsport, La. to start a new life after they lost their husbands in the Civil War. Diademia is said in a letter from Minnie Lewis to Lenore Williams to have been 24 years old. Leonard Daniel is first found on the tax rolls for Limestone County later than that. However, when the Wm. G. Shanks estate was settled, she was in Panola Co., TX where Leonard Daniel gave her the money from the sale (civil suit file 913, file cabinets in back of the mezzanine level, Caddo Parish courthouse) in 1863. This would be the correct age. Minnie Lewis said that she heard that Diademia never married again because she believed that her husband would some day come back to her. Family tradition says that she always had a gold piece whenever there was a family crisis. She and her sister are said to have been heirs to their Grandfather Barrett's estate. Perhaps that was a source. Her account book indicates she may have loaned her money at 10% interest! I also found a record of her loaning her sister Catherine Jane Daniel Kerley and her husband money at 12% interest. According to family tradition, Kerley was a cousin who asked Diademia to marry him. She refused. (It is said that she always said that her husband would come back some day). Later he married her sister. My notes from Lenore Williams say that there was a 30-year age difference. In a letter from Minnie Lewis to Lenore Williams, Minnie Lewis said, "I also remember Aunt Dema what a beautiful- stately-dignified old lady she was. She was my darling grandmother's only sister and I've heard my mother say often that she felt more 'kin' to Cousin Betty than she did to any of her step-sisters and brothers or her half sisters and brothers." James Daniel provided the following census information: 1870 Census Dist. 48, PO Eutaw, Limestone Co Texas. Diademia and her 2 daughters were living with her father Leonard Daniel. 1880 Census, Enum. Dist. 97, Mexia Limestone Co Texas, Diademia was living with her father Leonard Daniel. Her 2 daughters have left home, Frances now 22 and Elizabeth now 18. Leonard has a new wife, Mary E. and three daughters besides Diademia (Mattie, Ruth, and Ellen). Diademia was a charter member of Shiloh Primitive Baptist Church when it was organized on the second Sunday in May, 1888 in the Shiloh Community, Limestone County, Texas. It later moved to Point Enterprise near Mexia, TX and changed its name to Point Enterprise Church. (Primitive Baptist Online, Copyright 2000-2001 Primitive Baptist Online, http://www.primitivebaptist.org/writers/newman5Fjs/history/regular.asp, accessed 9:11 AM, 23 Jul 2004) THE FOLLOWING IS A COPY OF A LETTER SENT FROM DIADEMIA ELIZABETH SHANKS TO HER DAUGHTER ELIZABETH DANIEL THE FOLLOWING LETTER WAS WRITTEN FROM DIADEMIA SHANKS TO ELIZABETH DANIEL. IT IS UNDATED, ALTHOUGH THE DATE OF 1891 WAS WRITTEN LATER IN PENCIL AFTER THE REFERENCE TO HER GRANDFATHER'S AGE IN AN ATTEMPT TO DATE IT AT A LATER TIME THE FOLLOWING NOTE IS UNDATED AND UNSIGNED BUT APPARENTLY WRITTEN BY DIADEMIA SHANKS THE FOLLOWING IS AN UNSIGNED LETTER APPARENTLY WRITTEN BY DIADEMIA SHANKS. IT MAY NEVER HAVE BEEN MAILED. IT WAS IN AN ENVELOPE THAT WAS DATED AT AN EARLIER DATE THAN THE LETTER Eld J. H. Purifoy, It is unknown where the following Obituary was printed. It was found in a scrap book belonging to Lottie Daniel Strong after her death. The following is another obituary for Diademia Shanks. Her death certificate says that she died of obstructed gall ducts. It states that there had been a partial obstruction perhaps for years. Her residence at the time was 1801 Summers St., Waco, Texas, and that was where she died. Her place of birth was Ala., and her father was Leonard Daniel wo was born in Ala. Her mother's maiden anme is shown as simply Barrett, born in Alabama. The grave is found in the family plot in Mexia Cemetery, Mexia, Texas. The following marker was a large monument. It had an open gate at the top. On the top of the marker there was something like a ruffled cloth, cape, or some such thing draping down the stone. The stone has the following inscription: Mrs. D. E. Shanks/Dec. 28, 1838/Dec. 22, 1915. The back has the following inscription: Mother. She is found in the following Waco City Directories (there may be more as well): Citation details: Mrs. Demia E.
