Stories
Logan Mize, the son of Isaac and Malvia Mise, was born during April l864 in Rockcastle County, Kentucky. Logan married Rebecca Meece on 24 May 1883 in Rockcastle County. They were Married in the presence of Isaac and Marinda Mize in their farmhouse. Rebecca was born during May 1861. Logan was listed on the 1900 and 1910 Kentucky Census of Pulaski County, Kentucky was residing in Somerset. His last name of Mize was misspelled as “Mizo.” Paul Mize, the son of Andrew Carl Mize, told me that Logan looked a lot like his brother Andrew Jackson “Jack” but Logan’s posture was a lot straighter. “I can’t remember but I remember that he was born at Grandmother’s old home (possibly in Rockcastle County.) “Jack’s” wife Martha got a pass from Andrew Carl, Paul A. Mize’s father. Paul child Bob around the year 1941. They stayed there two weeks because of Paul not finding a job. Paul joined the Marine Corps.” This story was told to me by Paul Andrew Mize, the son of Andrew Carl Mize. Logan is listed as being 61 years old and Rebecca is listed as being 56 years old living in Houston on the 1920 Texas census.
“Bob’s occupation was being a fireman in Houston. He was physically a big man. He worked his way up the ladder in the Houston Fire Department until he became District Fire Chief. He was 51 years old when he died of a heart attack. His wife later remarried and moved to Porter, Texas.” (Paul Mize 1983)
