I feel sure we have communicated about your family and I may have spoken with your mom or someone else in the family at some point in the past. I don't know of any Native American connection to the Causby family, but anything is possible.

Hi
Eare Ovelia Causby is my great aunt. I am the granddaughter of Hattie Smith and the daughter of Judy Kay Causby Price. I am writing to see if maybe you have some information about my ancestors I am trying to look into my family background. I know there is Native American that runs in the family but I am trying to find out their names as well as some others. You may have talked with my mother on here before but I am not sure. If you can help me I would be grateful.

Pless, Edward Phifer

Edward Phifer Pless, 79, of Eastwood Avenue in Morganton passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, March 12, 2009, at Grace Hospital. He was born on April 1, 1929, in Morganton and was the son of the late Joseph Willard Pless and Annie Causby Pless. Phifer was a veteran of the US Army and was stationed in Korea during the Korean Conflict. He was an avid sports fan with the Atlanta Braves and Carolina Tar Heels being his favorite teams. Phifer also enjoyed East Burke football games with his friends. He grew up attending Calvary Baptist Church where he served as a deacon, usher and Sunday school teacher. Phifer moved his membership to Hopewell Baptist Church in 1997 and enjoyed working in their tape ministry, visiting and delivering tapes to shut-ins. He was a man of faith and loved the Lord. Phifer lived and worked in Burke County his entire life. He worked in the furniture industry at the "Old Morganton Plant," Henredon and Blackstone Wood Products. Through the years, he also had many part-time jobs at Hardee's, General Electric, Dana and Western Piedmont Community College. Eastwood Homes on Amherst Road was Phifer's residence for 45 years and he loved his neighborhood. He has even been called "Mr. Eastwood Homes," as he knew nearly everyone who lived there. One of Phifer's favorite activities was sitting on his front porch watching the neighborhood with his four-legged companion, Chipper Pless. He loved all of his neighbors, greatly appreciated their visits and cherished their friendships. Phifer Pless was a kind, gentle Christian man, respected by all who knew him. He loved to make others laugh and never met a stranger. He spoke often of memories of his parents and growing up with three brothers and two sisters. The highlight of his week was a sausage biscuit breakfast with his siblings and his wonderful caregiver, Barbara Williams, who was extremely important to him. Phifer's greatest pride was in his family - his daughters, grandchildren and great-grandchild. Phifer and his sweet personality will be greatly missed. He is survived by his daughters, Anne Pless Wright and husband, Martin, of Charlotte, Vickie Jean Pless of Murfreesboro, Tenn., and Piper Pless Poteat of North Wilkesboro; two brothers, William Pless and wife, Relda, of Morganton and Carl Pless and wife, Shirley, of Lenoir; two sisters, Mary Katherine Pless and Helen Pless Parris, both of Morganton; five grandchildren, Jeanna Poteat Foster and Nathan Poteat, both of North Wilkesboro, Heather Poteat Fisher and husband, Joseph, and Ben Johnson, all of Chapel Hill, and Matt Johnson of Valdese; and a great-granddaughter, Carrie Foster of North Wilkesboro. In addition to his parents, Phifer was preceded in death by his wife of 50 years, Jean Ledford Pless; and a brother, Robert Pless. Phifer's daughters would like to express their deepest, heartfelt appreciation to Barbara Williams, who has selflessly cared for their father in a way that enabled him to live his life in the comfort of his own home. The family would also like to express their gratitude to Phifer's physician, Dr. Edward Plyler and his staff for their care and friendship for many years. Phifer actually looked forward to his visits with Dr. Plyler. Funeral services will be at 4 p.m. today in the Colonial Chapel of Sossoman Funeral Home with the Rev. Homer Murdock officiating.
