HISTORY OF ALABAMA AND HER PEOPLE, The American Historical Society Inc., Chicago & New York, 1927. Vol II p129

Eli was Confederate soldier serving with Hoods' Texas troops in Texas and VA. He was wounded at the battle of Chickamauga while holding his gun in front of breast reloading, and a ball from enemy's gun struck his weapon, deflecting the bullet so that his leg was struck instead of his body. Later he was captured and held a prisoner. Following the war he was very successfully engaged in farming and he died in 1908, when he was 73 years old. His wife passed away in 1899, when she was 44 years old.

In addition to his farming interests Eli Yow operated a cotton gin and grist mill about 2 miles south of Pine Hill and a cotton gin, grist mill and saw mill in partnership with O. P. Kelly at Pine Hill, and he was one of a Committee to select a name for the town that is now called Pine Hill. A well educated man he kept himself posted on current events. Always a liberal supporter of schools and churches, and he united with the Baptist Church when he was 64 years of age. His partner, Mr. Kelly, gave a large portion of the lumber that went into the church and school buildings at Pine Hill.

Eli Yow was twice married, first to Adelia Pruitt who died in about 2 years leaving an infant girl whom they named Lula Adelia and who married N. M. Baggett and now lives in Mobile, Alabama. His second wife was Elizabeth Crisswell and to this union was born 9 children: 5 survive, namely: Jennie, wife of Dr. J. Lee Woodcock of Phil. PA; Hassie, wife of John A. Hussey of Toledo, Ohio; Ausie Esten; Ella L., wife of E. H. Cowart of Evergreen, AL; and Clara L., wife of Dr. C. M. Pearce of Calumet, OK. 2 sons Eli B. and Grover C. both of whom died at 21 years of age. Minerva died at 7 years and Robert died in infancy.

HISTORY OF ALABAMA AND HER PEOPLE, The American Historical Society Inc., Chicago & New York, 1927. Vol II p129

Ausie Esten Yow, President of the Planters State Bank of Pine Hill, is one of the experienced financiers of Wilcox County and a man (whose) astuteness and Conservative policies are generally recognized. He was born on a fam two miles south of Pine Hill 3-6-1888 a son of Eli and Elizabeth (Crisswell) Yow and a grandson of Bradley Yow who came from South Carolina to Wilcox Co. Ala many years ago, and was a founder of the family in this region.

Ausie Esten Yow attended the public schools at Pine Hill and received a high school diploma and 2 summer schools at Thomasville, Alabama for teachers after which he taught school at Aimwell, Alabama. At the close of this school at Aimwell, he was given the position as bookkeeper by Mr. Clay Sheffield, banker of Pine Hill and was later promoted to cashier of this institution. he remained in this position until 1913 when he organized a stock company and erected a bank at Sweet Water. This new banking institution grew rapidly under his management until 1922, when he sold his interest in Sweet Water State Bank to purchase the controlling interest and assume the Presidency of Planters State Bank of Pine Hill, thereby moving back to the town of his boyhood days. Mr. Yow still maintains his legal residence at Sweet Water and is a member of the County Board of Education of Marengo County. During the years he resided at Sweet Water he was a leader in the civic affairs of the town and was to a large degree instrumental in the organization and erection of a Baptist Church and a new $20,000 consolidated school building, he being the largest contributor in land and money.

In 1911 Mr. Yow was married to Catherine Grantham, of Aimwell, Ala. a daughter of John C. Grantham. She was educated at Aimwell, Pine Hill and Livingston. The following children have been born to Mr. & Mrs. Yow: Esten Eli, Elsie, Elizabeth, Elvin, Emerson and Eleanor. As will be seen all of their names begin with E. He and his wife are members of the Baptist Church, he has been a Deacon since 1916 and is now Supt. of Sunday School. It was through the instrumentality of Mr. Yow that the new Baptist Church was erected there in 1924, his friend, Mr. Clay Sheffield, upon his return to Pine Hill, entered into an agreement with him to donate $12,500 on a new brick church provided Mr. Yow would see that the other members raised $20,000 and a church was erected costing $32,500.

Fraternally he belongs to the Knights of Pythias, the Dramatic Order Knights of Thorassan and the Woodman of the World. His progress has been steady and healthy and while he has been rising he has earned and retains the confidence of his fellow citizens who appreciate his many excellent traits of character.

Estelle Kirk New Travelers Aid Director
Spartanburg USO Worker Succeeds Mable Thomas At Center Here

Miss Estelle Kirk, formerly director of the USD-Travelers' Aid at Spartanburg, S. C., has assumed the directorship of the local USD-Travelers Aid here. R. Clarence Williams, chairman of the operating committee of the Travelers' Aid Board, announced yesterday.

Miss Kirk succeeds Miss Mable Thomas, director here for the past two and one-half years, who left this week to accept employment with the International Business Machine Company. A fellow worker with Miss Thomas in Montgomery several years ago, Miss Kirk has been with Travelers' Aid since early in 1942. As a graduate of Birmingham-Southern she began her welfare work in Birmingham where she served three years with the Jefferson County Child Welfare Department and three years with social welfare work. Miss Kirk was a case worker In Montgomery when Miss Thomas entered the organization as a volunteer.

The new director, whose home is in Birmingham, is a graduate of Tulane School of Social Work, a member of the Methodist Church, and a member of Alpha Omega Pi sorority. She is also a member of the American Association of Social Workers.

Serving as director of the Aid office in Spartanburg since October, 1945, Miss Kirk says she already likes Anniston, and "especially the fine organization of my new office." Miss Kirk will be assisted here by Miss Ann Rhoades and Miss Ann Hewett, case workers, and Grace Hawkins, Negro case worker. Although the peak of the Aid work here has been passed, Miss Kirk expects a real need for continued service to exist for some time to come, and the office here will be maintained as long as there is need, she said. The workers provide aid, financial or just room-hunting, aside from travel services, in helping to meet the transients' problems, Miss Kirk said.

DEATH

Julius was killed in the worst industrial accident in U.S. history, the Texas City Disaster. April 16, 1947 the French ship Grandcamp, containing ammonium nitrate fertilizer exploded,igniting fertilizer manufactured in Nebraska and Iowa that was already overheating when stored at the Texas City docks. The blast devastated the Monsanto plant and offices, where Julius was working, which were immediately across the slip from the Grandcamp, blew away the warehouses, showered shrapnel from the ship in all directions, and ignited a second ship, the S.S.High Flyer. Released from its mooring by the blast, the High Flyer rammed a third ship, S. S. Wilson B. Keene. Both ships also carried ammonium nitrate fertilizer and were ablaze. They, too, exploded. Surrounding chemical and oil tanks and refineries were ignited by the blast.

The fire had attracted a crowd of spectators along the shoreline, who believed they were a safe distance away. Spectators also noted that the water around the docked ship was already boiling from the heat, and the splashing water touching the hull of the ship was vaporized into steam.

The blast leveled nearly 1,000 buildings on land and sent a 15-foot wave that was detectable nearly 100 miles off the Texas shoreline. People in Galveston 14 miles away were knocked to their knees and windows were shattered in Houston, Texas, 40 miles away.

The initial blast and subsequent chain-reaction of further fires and explosions in other ships and nearby oil-storage facilities killing at least 581 people, including all but one member of the Texas City volunteer fire department and injured over 5,000. Of the dead, 405 were identified and 63 have never been identified. The victims' bodies quickly filled the local morgue, and several bodies were laid out in the local high school's gymnasium for identification by loved ones.
