Good Morning, I am in the area of TX that is experiencing the flooding. Thank goodness I do not live in Houston. I am just outside of Beaumont which is abt 80 miles NE from Hou. We are still getting alot of rain and some houses are flooding, mine NOT included! I had relatives that lived in Houston, AR. in abt 1920-1960. Their names were Lester(Chock) and Lula EMBREY. THeir children were Jack, Johnnie and Helen. I visited them many times in the early 50's. THey lived in a white house with a big front porch that sat facing the railroad tracks. My uncle worked for the railroad there. I also had family in Bigelow. My great grandparents were John HANNA and Blanche Elizabeth GARDNER. My grandmother and her siblings were born in Nimrod and Bigelow. If you ever knew any Hanna's, they are probably mine. My grandmother was Susie Elizabeth Hanna, she married B.L. Myers, from MS. He was working in the area there in 1920/1. I also had my ggrandfather in Perry Co from abt 1894. His name was Frank M GARDNER. He had a bunch of kids and they all lived there until ?. Frank died in 1911 and is buried in Hollis. We have never been able to find his grave. I am going to post another msg that has my relatives and who they married for the most part. Who knows, maybe some of you nice folks are my cousins! Thanks again, Marlene, and I would be very interested in the maps! Maybe that is something Cindy would be interested in posting to the Perry Co site, also.
