Notes:
Georgia Anna Haile was born February 2, 1871. She lived with her Mother and her grandparents in Missouri (town unknown). Her grandfather had a drugstore and lived above it. Georgia and her mother went to Texas by train when Georgia was about 6 or 7 years of age. Her mother died after arriving in Central Texas and her grandparents did not want her back. She lived temporarily with a "bachelor uncle" in Burnet by the name of Swift Ogle. Ogle was the Burnet County Treasurer. While on a routine trip to Austin to delivery money, Ogle disappeared, never to be heard from again. The woman who ran the hotel that Ogle and Georgia lived in reported the situation to the County Judge. Judge J. Alvin Crews and his wife Lora Mabry adopted Georgia Anna and raised her there in Burnet. There is a little confusion as to whether she was formally adopted or raised as their foster child.

He joined the Northwest Texas Methodist Conference and preached in the Burnet area before moving to Old Margaret, Texas, which is now Greer County, Oklahoma.

He gave that land to his descendants, who eventually sold it off prior to the boom that made Lubbock a city following World War II.
