History of Southeast Missouri copyright 1908
pp 860-861

Isaac J. Pirtle. Southeast Missouri is one of the greatest producers of lead in the world, and no man in the region is better known than Isaac J. Pirtle, state mine inspector. His residence is at Fredericktown, Missouri, and his headquarters are at the Bureau of Mines and Mine Inspection, Jefferson City, Missouri, and he and sons are particularly identified with the development of the famous Mine LaMotte, a few miles to the northeast of Fredreicktown, but various members of the Pirtle family for several generations have been strong agents in the general progress of St. Francois county as well.

State Inspector Pirtle was born in St. Francois county, February 2, 1853, and is a son of Isaac N. and Susannah (Wilson) Pirtle. In 1845, when thirty-six years of age, his father came from Indiana to Missouri and located on Castor river, that county, where he continued until his death, in the early nineties, to farm and to work as a blacksmith. He was a firm Republican and an industrious, good-hearted man, and was a most earnest believer in Universalism, which, in his younger days, was subject to much undeserved ridicule. But Isaac N. Pirtle was a man of convictions which could not be shaken by such means, and held to his faith in the midst of all the wickedness of the world, dying in peace and with the confidence that all would be well in the great everlasting future.

A brother Abner Pirtle, also came to St. Francois county at a somewhat later date than Isaac N., prior to the Civil War, and engaged there in farming.

Susannah Wilson (as Mrs. Isaac N. Pirtle was known before her marriage) was born in Kentucky in 1807, and not only proudly claimed the state of Daniel Boone as her own, but also relationship with the great western pioneer, woodsman and hero. Her mother, who died in the eighties, at the of one hundred and two, was a second cousin of Mr, Boone, the family name being the same. Mrs. Susannah Pirtle had two brothers, John and Allen Wilson, who were well known as substantial farmers, solid Republicans and earnest Masons.

Isaac J. Pirtle is the youngest of four sons and six daughters born to his parents, of whom one brother and five sisters are living. It is remarkable that all of the family reaching maturity should have lived to be over sixty years of age, except Isaac J., of this biography, who bids fair to far exceed that span of life. The following facts are adduced as links in the family record, relating to the ten children of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac N. Pirtle: Jane is a widow of a Mr. Cox of Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Mary Ann (Hale) of Southeast Missouri, is also a widow, with several mature children; Cynthia A. (Warren), whose husband is likewise deceased, resides in Joplin, Missouri; Ellen, who has been twice marrried, is a widow living in Indiana; Hannah T. Gatewood, also a widow, resides in joplin, Missouri; Rebecca died young; Thomas Jefferson, a Union soldier in the Civil War, was killed by guerrillas, and left a wife and four children in St. Francois county; William Henry, a retired farmer of that county, has been thrice married and is now a widower with several children; James M. went to Washington county, Illinois, in 1861, and engaged in farming, married and reared a large family and died at the age of sixty-eight years;

Abner Terril WOMACK and Mary Ann (Polly) PIRTLE had the following children:

i. Susanna Rosella WOMACK, born on November 25, 1865, Missouri; married Lafayette MORRIS, on June 17, 1880, Madison County, MO[4],[5]; died on April 23, 1937, Beulah, Madison County, MO.
ii. Jasper Marion WOMACK, born on May 13, 1867, Illinois; married Florence Eliza Jane MURPHY, on June 10, 1888, Iron County, MO; married Ella Alma HOUSE, on July 31, 1898, Carter County, MO; died on July 8, 1957, Van Buren, Carter County, MO.
iii. Thomas WOMACK was born between 1867 and 1870.

Abner Terril WOMACK and Mary JOHNSON were married about 1872. Mary JOHNSON[6] (daughter of William JOHNSON and Margaret COFFEL) was born on May 14, 1838 in Tennessee. She died on September 10, 1912 in St. Francois County, MO. Mary's surname is listed as White in Lelia's Obituary.

Lelia Ellen Womack, daughter of Abner and Mary White Womack, was born in St. Francois County, Missouri on December 8, 1878. She was united in marriage on February 25, 1902, to George Wilburn Hughes, who with their five children, survive.
