His full name was Charles Franklin Bost. He was my step g grandfather. He was born in 1869 and died in 1951. I barely remember him as I was 4 yrs old at his death. He was married to Mattie Isom (b-1866, d-1934). They are buried in the Staples, Guadalupe Co, TX Cemetery as is Jonathon Harvey Bost's wife, Cynthia R Finger Bost. Cynthia was born 12 Jan, 1834 and died 18 May, 1904 according to her tombstone. A half sister to Charles Franklin Bost named Julia Michaels Drumm is also buried at the Staples Cemetery. Julia was a daughter of Cynthia Finger and Cynthia's first husband Ambrose Michaels. McDuffie Hunsucker (brother in law of Charles Franklin Bost) is also buried in Staples. I am unsure if Cora Bost Hunsucker is buried in Staples. Jonathon Harvey Bost is living with the Hunsucker family in Staples at the time of the 1900 census and living with son Charles Franklin Bost family in Staples in 1910. Staples is in Guadalupe Co. I recall my grandmother telling me that her grandfather (Jonathon Harvey Bost) was a Confederate Soldier and following the war a one armed carpenter. He lost his arm in battle.
