'IKE' Built a home on what now is known as the `Old Ike Yoakum' place near Clara. Five of the children are buried in the Wolford cemetary at Clara. The community of White Rock took it's name from the massive white rock bluff on this property. Standing nearly 80 feet tall and some 1300 feet in length, visitors today can still see the ancient Indian inscriptions high on the bluff which tell of a hunting experience long ago. Shryock family members live on the property today. (Texas CO Gen Soc)
"Ike was a blacksmith and skilled carpenter and built, or rebuilt, every structure on his farm. He also helped construct a simple log cabin for use as the first White Rock school. Ike's father, Isaac I, taught penmanship in the little White Rock School. "
Four years prior to the death of Isaac Sr., his youngest son Ike married Martha Ann McKinney on Sunday, May 12, 1878. Her parents, David and Mary J. Murray McKinney, had moved their family down into Texas County from the vicinity of Jefferson CO, Missouri. Ike and Martha Ann were married 43 years until her death in 1921 and they had 9 children. Except for the last child, Ada Pearl, who died in infancy, all the children were raised on Ike Yoakum's farm, high atop the hill above the great White Rock."
Around 1886 the Oak Hill Christian Church built a new church and Ike Yoakum is listed as head carpenter.
