I was born in Houston and lived there until I was about 30. Lidstone Hotel. My family is still in Houston. I am older now but remember so much from the Houston of the 1946-1970 era before it became a huge city that I can't even stand to drive in anymore. I attended Fannin Elementary as a child. My first school. We lived in a giant old house developed into apts. and our address was 1819 Brazos. The Lidstones gave Lillian Grainger and her husband a bible when they were married in Ennis, Ellis County Tex. I have a picture of Charles Jr. as a child and other pictures that I can't identify. I have letters found in the attic of this house dating back to 1873. The 1870 census (I think) has Eliza, Charles Jr. Lillian, Georgiana, Sudie...all of them. I have been researching the family since we bought this house in 2000. My email is barbinpalestine@hotmail.com. I don't know if we are related but we share an interest in the Grainger thru Houston and this house. I will be happy to share my info with you. I suspect Charles Grainger and Charles Jr. may also be buried at Glenwood. I know that Georgiana is buried in Palestine and several other Grainger in the plot at our cemetary. I have visited Lillian's grave many times. Barb Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
