Maurice Ross Paul was born March 1, 1900 the oldest child of Daniel Paul and
Ruth Wheeler Ross. Maurice was born in Monon, White County Indiana, while his
parents were living on the Paul family farm. Shortly thereafter, the family
moved to Pence Illinois (near to the Ross family farm) where the family farmed.
Maurice had two younger siblings, Pauline and Nelson
[475]
In 1907, Ruth Ross died. Aunt Edna Paul (age about 23) came to live with the
family for some time to care for the children. In June of 1908 Daniel Paul
married Francis Moschell who bore him two additional children, Chester
Orville, and Margaret Augusta. After the death of his father Daniel Paul from
typhus in 1911, the orphaned children was separated and Maurice went to live
with his brother's older sister, Harriet (Aunt Hattie) and her husband Charles
Cowger on the Paul family farm in White County, IN, near the town of Monon.
Hattie had bought the farm after the death of her father, Judson in 1906.
Pauline went to live with her mother's brother, Hayse Ross, and nelson went to
live with another part of the Ross family in Oklahoma.
[476]
In June of 1914, Charles Cowger was found hanging in the barn by young
Maurice, a suicide. Hattie sold the farm and she and Maurice moved to
Monticello where the boy attended high school. In 1918 he entered Purdue
University and studied Electrical Engineering. Hattie sold the house in
Monticello and moved to Lafayette to keep house for Maurice. The Lafayette
house was described as "a shack" by my grandmother LaVergne Paul. At this
time, Hattie decided that it was time to reunite the family, so for awhile
Pauline and Nelson also lived with Hattie and Maurice. Apparently the strain
of caring for three active teenagers was too much for Hattie whose health
failed her and she had heart problems for the rest of her long life.
[477]
Maurice did not graduate from Purdue, apparently due to persistent problems
with mathematics. In 1923 he left for California and lived in Oakland. For
many years he worked for AT&T as a lineman and repairman. For the last 20
years of his career with AT&T he was an engineer in the San Francisco office.
AT the time of his retirement, he was known as "Mr. San Francisco"
[478]
On March 19, 1927 he married Natalie Julliana Opdyke in Sacramento. They
had two children:
[479]
Daniel Opdyke / b. Oct 3, 1927
Dorothy May / b October 5, 1928
[480]
After he retired, Maurice and Natalie sold their home and bought a mobile home
in Bethel Island California, in the Sacramento River delta region. The also
bought a 10 foot cab-over camper and traveled throughout the states, Canada,
Central America, and Alaska. They visited relatives and collecting family
information (mostly Opdyke). Natalie had a religious vision and subsequently
joined the Mormons.
[481]
According to relatives, they were quite a pair: he tall and taciturn; she a
large woman and very loquacious. His grandchildren remember Maurice as very
formal and always impeccably dressed. He insisted, for example, on rigid
table manners even though it was often hard for small children to live up to
his standards. Natalie was a warm and loving grandmother. She was also known
for stretching the truth on occasion.
[482]
Maurice died in Bethel Island on October 29, 1973 from a cerebral hemmorage.
Natalie died on November 12, 1982 after being hit by a truck while changing a
tire by the side of the road.
