Hi Roy Thanks for your information about Willis Austin(s). There has been some traffic on this subject lately. One interested person is Nanna855@aol.com. She reports that she is a descendant and has seen the graves of Willis and Millie in Bowie County TX, where she lives. I am attaching that message to this. In regard to a Willis Austin applying for a pension in OK, that may be right or wrong , I dont know, but I once did some research in Ok and seem to recall that state was formed in 1908, at which time this Willis would have been over ninety years old. I did look at OK online stuff and did not find a record. Nor could I find one in Texas, although the spouse in either state could have made the application, as was true of Marion Henderson in Texas. I believe that Tim Hudson, who is a contributor to the Union website, is looking for info on this matter, and I will copy him on this. Merry Christmas to All, Doc Henderson
