Hey Shelby, I looked online on the Enterprise Ledger and the Dothan Eagle newspapers and could not find it. I looked the week of Easter. Maybe someone local can find it. The Dothan Eagle is the largest paper around in that area, I think.. pat. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shelby Corcoran" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, April 15, 2005 6:22 AM Subject: [ALCOFFEE] Need obit for Vassie M.

I'm hoping someone local can send me a copy or transcribe to me an obituary for my Aunt Vassie. She lived in a nursing home in Elba and she died around Easter time this year. I was told the obit was in the Opp News but I called them and they could not find it, they suggested that it was in the Elba Clipper.

Can anyone help lady who wrote email below? Phyllis J. K.

My name is Lisa Rae Porter Tuck and I am trying to find information on my great grandparents. I have found them on the 1930's Alabama Census in Samson. George Frank and Leila V. Porter. He was a cobbler in the shoe shop. I remember meeting my Aunt Beatrice Jones, she lived in Enterprise, AL and had several sons,(I am not sure if she belonged to Grady or Gertrude, children of George Frank and Leila. ( James Alvin Porter, my grandfather was born 19 Sept 1909) and I believe my great grandmother lived with her after Frank died. My mother and my grandparents are all dead and I have done a lot from memory. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find my great grandmother's parents. I think her maiden name was" Wiggins" but I am not sure. I would love to know where she is buried. If you have any possible information. please e-mail me at [email protected] As I get older and have my own children I want to hand down as much of my family's heritage so they know who has come before and can tell their children. Thanks.

Do you live in Coffee County? Do you know if the Keyton Cemetery has had restoration. It was in a terrible shape when I saw it. My grandfather, John Robert Morgan, taught school in Keyton. Is there a school there now? Thank you so much for your help. Dorothy Pipkin

Dorothy: Hello. No, there are only the three MORGANs you mentioned buried in Keyton Cemetery as of 1968. Also, there is no Julian Stephens buried in the Enterprise City Cemetery. Sorry. Norman

Thank you. My great grandfather James Jackson Morgan, his wife, and daughter Rose are buried in Keyton. The cemetery was overgrown when I saw it a few years ago. I would like to kjnow if there are other Morgans buried there. Thanks for your help. Dorothy Pipkin Knoxville, Tn. Also, is there a record of Julian Stephens being buried in the Enterprise Cemetery?
