Cora Anna Bowles was born in\u00a0Savoy,\u00a0Texas\u00a0in 1904. They were married in 1922 in\u00a0Lubbock\u00a0where Marvin was a part-time farmer and part-time brick-layer, helping to build\u00a0Texas\u00a0Tech\u00a0University. In 1925, they left the parched lands of West Texas for the new oil field of\u00a0South Texas\u00a0and a job with Magnolia Oil Company. Between 1925 and 1937, they moved over much of\u00a0Texas\u00a0as each new field was &#8220;brought in&#8221;. By early 1938 Humble Oil and Refining Company was drilling west of Grapeland, the Hams were here with the Federal Tank Company. Here they remained for much of the remainder of their lives. Many men can remember as young teenagers being given their first job by &#8220;Ham&#8221;. He always had a soft spot in his heart for the young boys trying to make a little money during the depression and war years. Marvin and Cora were active members of the\u00a0First\u00a0Baptist\u00a0Church, Grapeland and its people held a special place in their hearts. Marvin died in 1956 and Cora died in 1975. They had three children: Helen (Mrs. Vinson Streetman) of Grapeland, Eddie Joe of\u00a0Dallas, Bobbie Lea, or Pokey, (Mrs. Herman Meyer) of Katy. Helen and Vinson had one son, Randy, of\u00a0San Antonio. Randy and Adriana have one son, Vins Streetman. Eddie Joe and Barbara have two sons, David and Tim of Dallas, David and Robin have two children, Kristin Ham and Derrick Ham. Pokey and Herman have one daughter, Trish (Mrs. Charlie Bradley)of Katy.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-159\" src=\"https:\/\/grapeland.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/darseys-300x155.png\" alt=\"advertiser Darseys Furniture and Mattress Grapeland Texas\" width=\"300\" height=\"155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/grapeland.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/darseys-300x155.png 300w, https:\/\/grapeland.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/darseys-1024x528.png 1024w, https:\/\/grapeland.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/darseys-768x396.png 768w, https:\/\/grapeland.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/darseys-1536x792.png 1536w, https:\/\/grapeland.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/darseys-2048x1056.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marvin E. &#038; Cora Ham Family History Marvin Eddie Ham was born in\u00a0Arkansas\u00a0in 1900 and moved to\u00a0Texas\u00a0with his family as a youngster.
