Notes for Samuel Henry STINNETTPortales Valley News: "S. H. (Uncle Henry) Stinnett died at the family home in West Portales January 6th, at 11 p.m. internment was in the Portales cemetery at 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, January 8. Mr. Stinnett had been ill for the past month or six weeks and up until last Friday was thought to be on the road to recovery, when the change for the worse came, and complications set up from the flu. ... Deceased leaves a wife, five sons, seven daughters, seventeen grandchildren, seven great grandchildren. "Uncle Henry" as he was familiarly called, was a typical pioneer, having lived on the frontier of West Texas and New Mexico all his life. His parents moved from Tennessee to Hopkins county, Texas in 1852, where Uncle Henry was born January 29, 1854. His parents soon moved to Parker county, Texas, being among the first settlers of Parker county. This part of Texas at that time was thinly settled and human life was in danger on account of Indian depredations, and many people were massacred. Schools were unknown. In early life his father died in the Civil War. At the age of seventeen, Uncle Henry volunteered his services in the Texas Rangers, where he experienced many hardships fighting the red man back and protecting his state, which made it possible for us to have the peaceful and prosperous country which we enjoy today. He helped to organize Parker county, and resided there continuously for forty years. At the age of twenty five, Mr. Stinnett was united in marriage to Miss Almedia Hancock of Weatherford, Texas. To this union were born seven children. Three died in youth. Those surviving are Sam J. Stinnett of Portales, Charles H. Stinnett of Portales, Mrs. E. J. Bilberry of Spur, Texas; Mrs. L. S. Bilberry of Dickens, Texas. His first wife died January 7, 1894. He was married again to Mrs. Mary Jane Woodburn of Strawn, Texas, September 1897. To this union were born four daughters and two sons, whose names are as follows: Marion M. Stinnett of Portales, Mrs. W. A. Watson of Medicine Lodge, Kansas; Mrs. John W. Henderson of Abilene, Texas; Rufus M. Stinnett of Portales; Miss Lucy Stinnett of Ft. Sumner, New Mexico; and Mrs. Newton Watson of Abilene, Texas. He also leaves two step-children, Arthur C. Woodburn of Portales and Mrs. R. A. Bilberry of Jacksboro, Texas. All were present at the funeral except two daughters who were prevented by illness. Uncle Henry moved with his family from Dickens county, Texas to New Mexico, August 18, 1902, locating on a homestead seven miles northwest of Portales, where he engaged in stock farming for many years. In 1920 he moved to Portales, where he has resided since. He was a member of the Primitive Baptist church, became converted in early manhood and lived a conscientious Christian the remainder of his life. He always took an active part in all county, state and national affairs, and used his influence for the upbuilding of the community in which he lived. He was well and favorably known all over West Texas and Eastern New Mexico. Thus, it can truly be said of this pioneer that in his passing the family has lost a devoted husband and a loving father and the community a valued citizen."
His unit fought in the "Indian Wars" in "defense against Indian depredations." There is a letter from the U.S. Senator from New Mexico encouraging an investigation of the pension. S. H. Stinnett wrote using Roosevelt County (NM) stationary.
This book describes the Texas Ranger history on the frontier. The problem is summed up on pae 25: "Under Jones the rangers, acting in co-ordination with federal troopers, finally crushed the Comanches. The struggle had been costly: in each year between 1836 and 1860 Indians killed some 200 men, women and children on the Texas frontier; between 1860 and 1875 at least 100 a year were killed or kidnapped. The advance through the expanse of Central Texas had extracted 17 white lives per mile."
since leaving military service he resides at Carterville, Texas; Vineyard City, Texas; Markley, Texas; Dickens City, Texas; and Portales, New Mexico.
