Dear friends---I am looking for some information about Annie Baker. She died in Marion, La., May 2, 1928 while she was visiting her sister Jane Hodge. She is buried in Concord Cemetery in Marion beside her sister (Jane died July 12, 1928) and brother-in-law. There is no death certificate for her in the Louisiana Archives. Would there be a record in the courthouse in Farmerville? Or does anyone know how I can contact the library in either Marion or Farmerville to see if they have a newspaper? Thank you for any help you can give in this regard. R. Taylor

Does anyone have a Lucy Della WEBB in their line? I am trying to figure out her parents. She was born 25 Sep 1866 in either Arkansas or Louisiana depending on the census. She died 30 April 1958 in Union Parish and is buried in Laran Cemetery next to her first husband. Her first husband was John Ellis Henderson. I found no children for them so far. They married 28 Dec 1884. Her second husband was Dr. Henry Newton JONES. Married probably between 1887 and 1893. His first wife was Martha McCormick is buried next to him in Laran Cemetery with no dates on the tombstone. They had Sarah b. 1880, Henry 1882, Charles 1886 and Lola 1887. Henry Jones and Lucy Della WEBB had Luther 1894 Glovis? 1897 I can't make out the name on the census? Eva 1899 Luther Jones is married to Winnie ? on the 1920 and 1930 Union Parish Census. Children listed are Earnest born 1915, Alfred born 1917, Lorine 1920 and Elian 1927. Debi Burgess
