Louisiana Morris Truitt was born August 27, 1834
in in Marengo County, Alabama to Elijah Morris and
Sarah Pope. She arrived in Texas in 1838 with her fam-
ily and grew up in the area that is now Joaquin. Her
sisters were Elizabeth J. Morris Dorman, Sarah Lelia
Morris Kirkland, and Mary Morris Burns.
Her brothers were Benjamin Franklin (Frank),
James, John, Isaac and William.
East Texas was a typical wilderness when the Mor-
ris family arrived. The soil was rich and the tall virgin
timber seemed to reach almost to the sky. There was an
abundance of wildlife, and fish from the local streams
and the Sabine River contributed to their food supply.
After a few years of hard work and determination,
the family had good pioneer home, extra supplies of
food, cotton fields white for harvest and money on
hand. Timber was another source of income. River-
boats transported crops from Logan’s ferry to Orange,
Texas to sell.
Louisiana married Levi Marion Truitt, the son of
Sarah Hall and James Truitt sometime after the 1850
census was taken where she was listed as living with
her parents and sister at age 16.
Louisiana and Levi had thirteen children, twelve
lived into adulthood. Children listed for the household

Before his death in
2006 from complications
following a stroke, Aaron
Spelling could be seen
waving to busloads of
tourists from the driveway
of his 56,500-square-foot
California mansion. Sure,
it was ostentatious and
over the top, but it was a
way for the skinny inse-
cure kid from Fair Park to
prove to the world how far
he had come.

pond owner,” stated Lane Dunn,

The late afternoon program will
focus on topics that include stock-
ing rates, water quality for fish,

Journalism was his
major, but the drama
department took up most
of his free time as he
learned to act and to write
plays. And just for the fun
of it, he led cheers for the
SMU football team and
Heisman Trophy winner
Doak Walker.
The first thing Spelling
did after obtaining his
diploma in 1949 was to
depart Dallas for the
bright lights of Broadway.
But his high hopes of
making it as a wet-behind-
the-ears playwright were
quickly brought down to
earth.
Instead of diminishing
his ambition, the disap-
pointment only changed
his career plan. Confident
in his acting ability, he
headed for the opposite
coast hungry for any role
Hollywood casting direc-
tors would offer.
Lacking the looks of
the stereotypical leading
man, Spelling had to settle
for quirky and villainous
bit parts.
He found plenty of
work, appearing in 40 tele-
vision shows and a dozen
movies, but in 1953 decid-
ed his future was behind
the camera not in front
of it.
That was also the
year Spelling married
an actress from Amarillo
by the name of Carolyn
Jones. The beautiful

choose her parts, and the
one she accepted in “The
Bachelor Party” landed
her a 1957 Academy
Award nomination for
Best Supporting Actress.
Meanwhile, Spelling
was starting to get the
hang of script writing
thanks to his friend and
mentor Dick Powell, who
hired him to crank out
small-screen stories for
“Zane Grey Theater.”
This break blossomed
into an even bigger oppor-
tunity in 1959, when
Powell promoted him to
producer.
“Burke’s Law” starring
Gene Barry as a million-
aire crime-fighter was
Spelling’s ice-breaker in
1963, and he followed the
Golden Globe winner in
1965 with the equally pop-
ular “Honey West.”
The Spellings’ mar-
riage had ended in divorce
the previous year. Carolyn
went on to her most mem-
orable performance as
“Morticia” in the tv com-
edy “The Addams Family”
before dying from cancer
in 1983.
Following the death
of Dick Powell, Spelling
formed a production com-
pany with entertainer
Danny Thomas. The high-
light of their four-year col-
laboration was “The Mod
Squad” nominated six
years running for the top-
drama Emmy.

Louisiana inherited five hundred acres from her fa-
ther, Elijah Morris, in addition to the lands that she and
Levi had already acquired. They provided the land for
the Truitt School that served the children living in the
Pine Ridge area until consolidation with Joaquin School.
Louisiana was a devout Baptist and traveled to
church by horseback and wagon as long as her health
permitted. She died December 20,1898 and is buried in
Truitt Cemetery.
The Truitt Cemetery Homecoming will be held this
year on Saturday April 25, and annually on the fourth
Saturday in April.

Spelling hit his stride
in the Seventies with
“The Rookies,” “Starsky
and Hutch,” “SWAT.,”
“Charlie’s Angels,” “The
Love Boat,” “Fantasy
Island,” “Vega$” and
“Hart to Hart.”
Under exclusive con-
tract to ABC, the producer
with the magic touch was
responsible for a third of
the network’s prime-time
programming by the end
of the decade.
Speaking of detractors
that dismissed his suc-
cessful shows as “mind-
less candy,” Spelling once
said, “The knocks by the
critics bother you. But
you have a choice of prov-
ing yourself to 300 critics
or 30 million fans.”
Spelling’s after-dark
soap opera “Dynasty”
defined tv-watching in the
Eighties. At the end of its
nine-season run, the ABC
executives showed their
