Rushing Archie E. [Male] b. 28 MAY 1880 Pike County, Ms. - d. 2 NOV 1951 Foxworth, Ms.

Source
Title: Descendants of Matthew Malachi Rushing 070804.FTW

Archie Sr. was the youngest son of Levi Rushing by his third wife. He appears on the 1880 Pike County Ms. census record at 2 months old. In the 1900 Pike County census he was 20 years old living with his mother, Nancy. Twenty years later he is listed in the Walthal County census at 39 years, married to Mandy. Children listed at home were: Maxie L. (step dau), Claude, Tine, Ettress and A. Lurlene.

Archie's first marriage was to Myrtis Boyd, sister of Sarah Elmora Boyd who had married his brother, Samuel Tilton Rushing. Mary Magdaline, daughter of Samuel and Sarah writes it this way: "Daddy found a place...on Pearl River - forty or eighty acres... Daddy's baby brother Archie came down there and bought him a place joining ours, my mothers sister Myrtis came to see us, and Uncle Archie and Aunt Myrtis got married. It wasn't too long she took the Typhoid fever and died." (Material dated Dec. 2, 1988) His second marriage was December 16, 1904 to Mittie Jones, third to Ella Kemp March 3, 1908. These marriages were found in Pike County records. His fourth marriage was to a woman named Sadie according to court records of a divorce in Lamar County, Ms. (See copy below.) His fifth and final marriage was to Amanda Jane Cagle. (See record copy below.)
===============================================================
Obit Clarion-Ledger newspaper, Jackson, Ms.

Funeral services for Archie E. Rushing Sr., 71, were held at ten o'clock Saturday morning November 3, from the family home at Foxworth.
The Rev. G.K. Allen, pastor of the Foxworth Methodist Church and the Rev. John Oakes, pastor of the Foxworth Baptist Church, took part in the rites.
Interment was in the Foxworth cemetery under direction of Colonial Funeral Home of Columbia, with nephews of the deceased as pallbearers.
Mr. Rushing was born at Tylertown May 28, 1880, however had resided for the past twenty-five years at Foxworth. He was a brick mason in his more active years. He passed away Friday, November 2, (1951) at an early hour at his home after an illness of about a year.
Survivors are his widow, Mrs. Amanda Cagle Rushing; five children, Mrs. S.C. Johnson, Route 2, Columbia, Claude Rushing, Mobile, Ala., Mrs Ettress Taylor, New Orleans, La., Mrs Sennett Singley, Route 2, Sumrall, and Archie Rushing Jr., Picayune; fourteen grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
===============================================================
The E in Archie Rushing Sr.'s name came about in this manner. When he and his brothers were teenagers they would write to their girl friends and the practice was to use initials instead of spelling out their names. He would sign his letters "A. Rushing." And his brother, Andrew, would also sign his letters "A. Rushing." In order to be able to identify his mail Archie started using the E in Archie as a middle initial, therefore "A.E. Rushing" was established. He told his son Junior Rushing this story. (See Notes for Archie Rushing Jr. as to why Junior didn't use the E.)
===============================================================

After their marriage Archie and Amanda lived in several places such as Walthall County, Hattiesburg and Columbia. In 1922 when Avery Lurlene died, the family was living on Unetta Street in Hattiesburg. They moved to Riverside Drive there and Bernice was born in 1923. Their next move was to Columbia where Archie Jr. was born January 10, 1925. From there they moved next to the Foxworth school and lived there until they moved into the house they had bought October 1926 when they signed the deed to an unfinished bungalow on property located on the Foxworth-Columbia road near Pearl River. This was the family home where he died in November 1951. Amanda lived there alone until she was physically unable to stay. She then sold the property and moved to Mobile, and lived with children. After the children's jobs transferred to other states, she moved to Beasley's nursing home in Fairhope, where she stayed until her death April 14, 1967.
