Correspondence:
I found this correspondence in the Weatherford Library and thought it
might be of interest.
From correspondence with Florine Westerhover to Mrs. Jewel Lack.
"I need to add more information because I have just talked with Mrs.
Jewel Lack, 410 Pine Street, Millsap, Texas 76066. After seeing the
name Lack as a married daughter's name of Levi M. Current, I decided to call
Mrs.. Lack who I know by reputation as she writes an article "Millsap
Mumbles" for the Weatherford Democrat regularly. Millsap is a small
town near Weatherford.
Mrs. Lack is a daughter-in-law of "Mattie" Lack who was listed as a
daughter of Levi M. Current in his obituary. Mrs. Lack said Mattie's
name was Martha Ann and that she actually was a step-daughter of Levi M.
Current, but never knew her father and was raised as his daughter. It
seems that Cecil Andrews and Levi were buddies in the Civil War and Mr.
Andrews died during the war; but before he died, he gave a few personal
items to Levi and asked him to give them to her wife, Emaline, if he ever
met her when he got home. Levi did look Emaline Andrews up (she had 4
daughters - the youngest of whom was Martha Ann (Mattie) - and a year or so
later Emaline and Levi M. Current were married. Jewel Lack believes
that this was Levi M.'s only marriage, and that he and Emaline had 5
children after they were married.

Levi Current was in Palo Pinto County, Texas in 1860 with wife and
children. In 1870 he is in Stephens County, Texas with 3 more
children, one named George Washington Current.
