Hi Folks, It has just occurred to me, after all this time, to post a quest I've had for the last 15 years. I am looking for descendants of LOUIE WILLIAMS/WILBURN JACOBS and FRED JACOBS who lived in Houston, TX until their deaths. Louie died August 11, 1950 and Fred died September 6, 1922. Both are buried in Waco, TX Louie was my paternal ggmtr. and Fred was her second husband. My gfa whose name was CHESTER ARTHUR WILBURN died in 1927, when my father was very young so he never learned anything about his father's family. Arthur went by the name of his step-father although he did not know Fred was his step-father until he applied for a marriage license and had to present proof of his birth. He had gone by Jacobs for so long (since he was 5 yrs. old) that he continued to use the name Jacobs, and was, in fact, buried in Waco, TX with a headstone that listed his name as Arthur Jacobs. My grandmother had the headstone changed to Wilburn. Since her mother-in-law lived in Houston and she lived in Waco, there was very little communication between my grandmother and my great grandmother. I have never met any of my grandfather's family. Louie and Fred's children, who probably are all deceased, were: CHESTER ARTHUR WILBURN JACOBS RUTH C. JACOBS md. DENNIS Y. CRADDOCK HELEN J. JACOBS md. JOHN O. HOPKINS GERTRUDE JACOBS md. HARRY LEMUEL HENRY IDA JACOBS L. M. JACOBS (listed on census as a son) LOURICE JACOBS (listed on census as a son) ALBERT JACOBS dob: 1895 dod: 1914 ETHEL JACOBS DENNECAMP dob: 1901 dod: 1923---Ethel was murdered and the man who killed her was the last man publicly hung in the state of TX If you have any information of these people, please contact me. This is a long shot, but I thought I'd give it a try. I have advertised in the Houston paper, but got no response. Thanks, LCranston
