I also have a copy of Julia Adams and Joe Colmer's marriage lic. that proves what you say about her age. In answer to your questions: 1. I haven't found Raffele Adams gravesite. I have been looking in as many cemeteries as possible in Lafayette Co. to no avail. I do have info that Raffele & Venus were living in Hadley, Lafayette Co., Arkansas in a 1910 Census and later I know Venus was pregnant with Addie Adams (when Raffele was killed), who was born in 1912, supposedly in Bradley Ar., so I searched cemeteries there also. 2. Yes Julia is buried next to Joe Colmer in Memorial Gardens Cemetery. They are buried in the Garden of Devotion, Joe Colmer, 3a (I think must be the row #)and 3 (must be the plot #). Julia Colmer, Garden of Devotion, 3a, plot 4. A daughter was going to put her in a nursing home, so another daughter, Audie Skinner took her in and she died on 26 Feb. 1984 at Audie's home in Texarkana, Ar. Julia was born on 6 Oct. 1902 in Arkansas. Joe Colmer was born about 1897, and died either 9 Sept. 1957 in Texarkana, Ar., or 11 Sept. 1957. I have a date I found online and a date that was listed in an obit which I have a copy. I did find photos for Joe, Julia Colmer, and a son, Ollie Colmer's gravestones. I am assuming I can post a pic by attach a file just like any email?? 3. I have not been able to check on the Joe Colmer buried in La. in 1894, but my grandfather Joe Colmer left his reservation somewhere around 12 years of age, which would have made the year about 1909 so it would have had to be the 1894 Joe Colmer's children possibly. I will continue to search for Adams gravesite and will post if I find something. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
