I need a copy of a obituary the State Archives does not have this on microfilm. So I am hoping someone on the list can Xerox a copy for me. I think the name of the paper was the Dothan Herald. Whatever the name the paper went out of circulation in 1914. The Date of this particular edition is 16 April 1913. It was probably a Monday paper. Because the death took place 13 April 1913, which was on a Saturday. The person in question was Dr. Wyatt Stephen Oates. Thank you Le

Sarah Jane Shiver b abt 1850 AL d 4-7-1935 in Pike Co AL was my great grandmother. She married McBride Collins 10-3-1869 in Pike Co AL. The only Jane Shiver (Sarah/Sallie) in the time frame I have been able to find is the Jane Shiver age 1 listed in Alfred & Sarah Shiver household in the 1850 Dale Co AL census. In the 1860 Pike Co AL Milo census I find: Sarah J Shiver age 10 female AL listed in Malcom & Mary Frazier household. I believe that is my Sarah Jane Shiver. McBride Collins parents lived a few houses away from the Fraziers in 1860 Pike Co AL. I do have the death certificate for my Sarah Jane Shiver Collins. Her fathers first name is very hard to read but it starts with A Shiver mothers name is listed as unknown. I do remember my grandmother talking about aunt Mandy, aunt Mary & uncle Asa (Acie) Shiver that lived around Taylor & I think they are buried at Clark Cemetery. Any help on my Sarah Jane Shiver would be greatly appreciated. Thanks....maggie

Just to keep you all posted. I have been notified from the consultant that our Houston County, Alabama Heritage Book is going to the printers in about two weeks. I am so excited! The book is going to be a good one! We, the volunteer committee, are as anxious as you are to see our book in print. If you paid for the book to be shipped ($59) to you, it will be sent directly from the printers--I think. If you paid $54 with the understanding that you would pick up your book, you will get a letter telling you exactly when and where in Dothan you can pick up your book. It will most likely be at the Houston-Love Memorial Library and will probably have a pickup period of about 2 1/2 days. Just sharing the good news with you! Mrs. Ceya Minder Chairman/Family Editor Reminder@comcast.net 1-334-794-7480 Only a limited number of books will be printed over the pre-orders so I hope everyone gets one who wants one; but, there are no guarantees.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Wadford, Watford, Hubbard, Haven, Havin Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ZS.2ADI/423 Message Board Post: I am desperately looking for information regarding my great grandfather, William Henry W(h)adford. My g-grandfather was supposedly born in Alabama on September 15th during the Civil War years and the tale told is that his family may have originally come from the Carolinas to perhaps Newton, Dale County, Alabama, where he may have been born. He was orphaned at a young age when his family may have died in a "plague" possibly on a river(house)boat and the story has it he was discovered alone after a couple of days. He possibly was sent to live with an uncle in Florida, but ran away with cousins when he was a young boy and they ended in Texas with another supposed uncle. I am able to trace him from 1885, Rains County, Texas to Delta County, Colorado where he is buried. The cousins may have been his mothers' family. The first record I can find of him is his marriage to Mary E. Havens on October 25, 1885 in Rains County, Texas where he had worked building Sulpher Springs Road. They had a son, William Henry Whadford Jr. born Oct. 15, 1886 in Sulpher Springs, Hopkins County, Texas and Mary soon died afterwards. My g-grandfather then married Sminthie Ellen Matlock (b. Sept. 4, 1874 Marlin, Falls County, Texas) on Jan. 14, 1889 at Cureo, Dewitt County, Texas. They had six children: Leona Josephine (f) b. Mar. 20, 1890 at Cuero, Dewitt County Bonnie Monroe (m) b. Jan. 15, 1892 at Edna, Jackson County Jessie Winnie (f) b. Sept. 26, 1893 at Edna, Jackson County Maude Belle (f) b. Jun. 26, 1895 at Edna, Jackson County Lillie Mae (f) b. Mar. 5, 1898 at Edna, Jackson County Charles Henry Claude (m) b. Jan. 9, 1902 at Paonia, Delta County, Colorado The found censuses of him are: The 1900 census of Montgomery County, Texas lists: William Henry Whadford, w, m, born-Sept, year-1865 age last birthday is 30 or 39 and he is a logger (possibly in the San Jacinto Range) and his unknown parents were born in Alabama. The census date is June 4th, 1900. The 1910 Delta County, Colorado census lists: William H. Whadford, m, w, age 47 (birthyear? 1863?) and as a survivor (dependent?) of the Civil War and that his father was born in Alabama and his mother was born in Florida. The census date is April 18th, 1910. The 1920 Delta County, Colorado census lists: William H. Whadford, m, w, age 56 (birthyear? 1864) and both his parents were born in North Carolina. The census date is Jan. 24th, 1920. The 1930 Delta County, Colorado census lists: William H. Wadford, m, w, age 66 (birthyear? 1864) and his father was born in South Carolina and his mother was born in Alabama. The census date is April 10th, 1930. Recently, I finally found a census listing a Willie Wadford approximately the same age as my g-grandfather would have been and I'm hoping someone may be able to provide the crack in my brick wall. It is the 1870 census of Shelby County, Hillsboro, P.O., Alabama, page 423. I cannot clearly make out Ms. Wadford's first name and I'm hoping it is recognized. The listings is: Hubbard, James D. age 24, M, W, Farmer b. Alabama. Mollie, age 20, F, W, Keeping house, b. Alabama. Walter R. or B., age 1 , M, W, At Home, b. Alabama. Wadford, ? (possibly Annie or (N)Annie), age 25, F, W, At Home, b. Alabama. Wadford, Willie, age 4, M, W, At Home, b. Alabama. I'm assuming Ms. Wadford is a sister to either James D. or Mollie, but I have found no proof. If you have any information regarding the Wad-Watfords, Havens-ins, Hubbards or recognize this story, please let me know. I would also appreciate any ideas or other contacts. Thank you! Nancy L.
