Obituary of Charles Cicero Rainwater, 1838-1902, Missouri

He was, for a third of a century a resprentative of the mercantile interests of St. Louis and also president of the Merchants Bridge Co. He passed from a life of activity Nov. 10, 1902. He was then in the prime of life, having but recently passed the 64th milestone on life's journey. He was born at Knoxville, Ray Co., MO, 6 Apr 1838, and came from pure southern lineage. His father, Moses F. Rainwater, was a native of NC, while his mother, Elizabeth Clay Oliver Rainwater, was a native of TN. The family was represented in the Revolutionary War by Henry Nuneley, his great grandfather, who served as a private in the Virginia line in 1781, and thus Charles C. Rainwater was entitled to membership with the Sons of the American Revolution, of which society he later became a member. He completed his education in Central College of Fayette, MO., with the class of June 1858, and in Sept. of that year was married to Miss Sarah H. Fowler of Benton Co., MO. Not long afterwards Mr. Rainwater engaged in merchandising in that county, where he continued until June 1861, when true to his loved southland, he joined the Confederate Army as a private and took part in every engagement of note that occurred west of the Mississippi river, from the beginning of hostilities until August 1864. In the meantime he had won rapid promotion in recognition of his valiant service and unfaltering fidelity and at the time of his discharge he was on the staff of Gen. Marmaduke as Major and chief of ordinance. He was honorably retired at Camden, AR in Dec. 1864 on account of a wound in the head, received in Jul. 1863 and a wound in the hip in July 1864.

About the time of the close ot the war, Mr. Rainwater removed to St. Louis and became a factor in its mercantile cricles, so continuing until 1898. He was prominent in club and fraternal circles, holding memberships with the Mercantile and Union Clubs, with the Business Men's League and the Masonic fraternity. He was interested in the organization of the Confedrate Veterans of MO and was Adjutant general of the eastern division when called to his final rest. It has been said the he was the most beloved ex-Confederate in the state of MO. He always had the deepest interest in his fellow comrades in arms, and added to this, appreciated the good in others, his life standing in exemplification of the Emersonian philosophy that "the way to win a friend is to be one". But while he was a prominent businessman, a leading citizen and a faithful friend, his best traits of character were reserved for is own home and fireside, which he regarded as the center of his universe.

Obituary of Ann Rainwater Wright, 1825-1899, Arkansas

Mrs. Wright, mother of W. T. Wright of this place, died Monday night at her home near Elm Springs. Funeral services were held at the residence Tuesday by Rev. E. L. Massey and the remains were taken to Bentonville for interment. [The Springdale News, 25 Aug 1899].

Mrs. Ann Wright, nee Rainwater, was born in North Carolina July 3d, 1825. She was married to B. H. Wright Oct 11th 1849. To this union was born eight children, one of whom passed on before her. Seven are still living, all grown. She died August 21st, 1899 at her home near Elm Springs in Benton county, Arkansas where she had lived for several years. For many years she was a member of the M.E. Church but for a number of years before her death she was connected with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. She loved her church dearly, her hand and heart were always open to the various interests of the cburch. She was a true Christian in every sense of the word. Sister Wright, after suffering some weeks, met the issue calmly and sweetly. In this sad bereavement the church has lost one of its oldest members, her loving husband a loving wife and her children a doting mother, but their loss is her everlasting gain.

Obituary of David T. Rainwater, 1845-1913, Texas

David T. Rainwater is Dead
Resident of Dallas for Nearly Fifty Years Passes Away - Funeral Wednesday Morning
David T. Rainwater for nearly fifty years a citizen of Dallas, died at 9 o'clock yesterday afternoon at his home, 1310 Wood Street. Death came after an illness of three days. He had seldom been ill in a long life of many activities and often said that the experiences as a Confederate soldier had inured him to hardships and had made him rugged in health. Like his two brothers who died many years ago, he seemed to have a premonition and when he went home from his business on Thursday afternoon, he said that he was sure he would soon be out of pain.

On Aug. 11, 1845, Mr. Rainwater was born in Roswell, Ga. not far from the battlefield of Chickamauga, Tennessee-Georgia. At the age of 16 years, he entered the Confederate Army as a member of the Twenty-Second Georgia Regiment, served throughout the war and was in line at the surrender of Lee's army at Appomattox. He was of those who left off fighting and hard feeling when the war was ended. He went to work for the rebuilding of the south. For more than a year he worked among his kindred and boyhood friends in North Georgia. Then, with many of the younger element and accompanied by his wife he had won on a visit to South Carolina he came overland through Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas to Texas. First he settled at a place in North Jasper County in 1866 and made one crop. In 1867 he removed to Dallas County and for five years was on a farm near Richardson. In 1872, he came to Dallas and ever since that time has been a business man and a resident here, interested in many ways in the things that have brought the city to the front. For a number of years he was a member of the firm Rainwater & Stearns, running a grain elevator at the southwest corner of Wood and Lamar Streets, one of the largest of its kind in Texas at the time. It burned a number of years ago. Three men lost their lives in that fire. Very soon afterward he started a retail grocery business on Commerce near the County Courthouse, and was engaged in that work to the time of his death.

In the war he was converted and joined the Baptist church of which denomination he has ever since been an active member. He was in this city a member of the First Baptist Church and the funeral service at the home at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning will be conducted by the pastor, Dr. George W. Truett.

In 1866, Mr. Rainwater was married to Miss Carrie Harper of Anderson, South Carolina, who survives him. When they came to Dallas, they erected a cottage at what is now 1309 Wood Street where they lived until about twenty years ago, when a two story residence was ready across the street, and into that they moved and have ever since lived.

Beside the wife, there survive Mr. Rainwater, his two sisters, Mrs. M. E. Webb, who lives in a home next to his and Mrs. Violet Bowen of this city, two nieces, Miss Ethel Webb and Mrs. John F. Knott, who was Miss Bowen, and four nephews, James Webb of Dallas, Charles Webb of Houston, Ollie Webb of New Orleans, and J. D. Bowen of Omaha.

Obituary of Annie Heads Rainwater, 1912-1992, Texas

Funeral today for Annie Heads Rainwater
Services for Annie Heads Rainwater, a lifelong Carrollton resident and civil rights proponent, will be at 1 p.m. Wednesday at First United Methodist Church in Carrollton.

Mrs. Rainwater, 80, died of a heart attack Friday at Humana Hospital Medical City Dallas.

In 1963, she challenged the segregation laws of Carrollton by suing the Carrollton-Farmers Branch school district for prohibiting her daughters Betty and Nancy, ages 11 and 16, from attending R.L. Turner High School.

Nancy Williams of Mesquite, now 46, remembers the bus stops. "The Carrollton bus dropped us off at the intersection of Marsh Lane and Keller Springs," Ms. Williams said, about a mile from the Rainwaters' home. "We were put out there until the Dallas bus came. It was just on the side of the road. There was no shelter or anything. My family owned property and paid taxes. We were not allowed to go to the high school." Ms. Williams and her older brothers first were bused to Booker T. Washington High School in Dallas, then to Fred Moore High School in Denton. Carrollton had a segregated school for African-Americans until high school.

"We were aware of what was going on, we were part of it. It took courage and strength," she said. Of her mother, Ms. Williams said: "She left her faith in God. She was always a strong and independent lady. It taught me to stand up for what I believe."

The suit was settled in spring 1964 when U.S. District Judge Sarah T. Hughes of Dallas ruled for the Rainwaters and another family involved. Ms. Williams and her sister graduated from R.L. Turner.

In addition to Ms. Williams, Mrs. Rainwater's survivors include sons Charles W. Rainwater and Willie Rainwater, both of Carrollton, and Ray Charles Rainwater of Dallas; daughters, Melvine Massingill of Dallas and Betty Kelly of Carrollton; 17 grandchildren; and 18 great-grandchildren.
