Christopher served as treasurer of Andrew Jackson Masonic Lodge # 249 Dialville, Cherokee County, Texas which is now demised. He was also a member of Euclid Masonic Lodge # 45 in Rusk, Texas and a charter member of Cross Plains Masonic Lodge # 627 in Cross Plains, Texas.
Story about Christopher and Martha's daughter Columbus Ann at FamilySearch: the father of Columbus raised race horses. Her favorite was a horse named Black Beauty. He gave her the horse. Upon the death of Columbus, her husband sold the horse and received $800 to help care for his family. He chose to keep the children together with him as a family, instead of choosing to give them to others to raise. There is a registry for race horses in the Texas State Library in Austin. The aid at the library mentioned that the name Black Beauty was a common name for race horses.
