Is there anything those of us who "live out of area" can do? We visited before the tornado and I took many pictures - my gggrandfather, Thomas P. Moore (1843-1916), spent a short time occupying one of the cells in early 1890s. Luckily he was acquitted from his accused crime but it made the story especially real to me to actually see the jail. I even took photo's of some of the artifacts in the museum and one of the cells. Please let us know if there's something we can do.

The doctor told his wife to go on to safety, that he would stay with Thomas until he died. As they were leav ing she looked back and the house was burning so he must have died shortly after she left. His wife paid outlaws $50 to lead them to Texas. Some one told her that her gold would not be any good and that the should buy confederate money. They almost starved after they got to Texas. She settled in Grayson County near Bells. this is in north Texas near the Oklahoma border. Hope this helps you some.

Surnames: Brownlee Mays Carrico Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/YMB.2ACI/287.669 Message Board Post: Charles William's parents were John S.A. Brownlee and Theresa Mays. This family can be found together in the 1850 census for Cedar County. John apparently died in the next few years, as his widow Theresa married Alex W. Johnson on 14 Nov 1853. She also apparently died in next few years, as in the 1860 census, the four Brownlee children are found living with stepfather Alex Johnson, but with no trace of their mother. James D. Brownlee, mentioned in one of the other replies to the original message, is Charles William's brother. Cedar county records include the marriage of "William C. Brownlee" to Margaret Carrico - apparently Charles William also went by William Charles.

Your grandmother was in the same class as my aunt, Hazel L. Bell, (deceased) at the country school. My father, Alva E. Bell was the oldest in the family. A Kokak copy from a machine would be wonderful to have....our family has none. I know my clippings from the Cedar County Republican (1995) that a display on WW. II was placed by the Independence Club for the Walnut Festival in a store front window----and contained letters were written by Eugene. It would be wonderful a relative would write funny and sad stories about their lives....what they did after high school.....civilian or military during WW II. I know these were tough times for families getting an education, and rearing children, etc. Regards
