Hey folks! Just wanted to let ya'all know that the cemetery site has been updated, just added a bunch of photos of the Union Cemetery in Joyner. Am currently working on getting more photos of the Estes and Wartburg Cemetery resized and online. I'd also like to say a BIG THANK YOU to Gerri for her donation on the Flat Fork Cemetery, that should be posted later today or tonight. Thanks to all who visit and donate. Check out the changes at www.geocities.com/morgancountycemeteries and let me know what you think! Veronica

Hi, Bev - Let me know if I can send you any Farr info. Vian's father was Rufus Farr, Jasper Newton Farr's oldest son. I have information back to JN's father William and would be happy to help you rebuild your files with it. It's my great-grandmother Vian's siblings I'm trying to find - I know where many of them are buried and a little about who they married but this last child of Rufus and Charlotte is a mystery. I'm also looking for information about James Miller who married Rufus and Charlotte's daughter Rosie - she died in 1933/4 but I can't find anything about her husband to help place when they married. Best regards - Deborah Arapa

Bev So sorry you lost all your hard work......Now this time put it on a CD or disk. Anytime I get info in a letter I print it out and just put in a note book pretaining to the name I'm working on.....To save on a disk you just right click your mouse and tell it to send to Floppy Milly WARD Piros List Rootsweb Administrator for Anderson Co Tn~Campbell Co Tn and Fentress Co Tn http://www.geocities.com/millyella/listofpages.html Genealogists live in the PAST Lane

Just a hint, most all of this area's Farr's go back to Jasper Newton Farr. I will see if I can find some paperwork on his line, do not let me forget okay? I lost all of my database when my last computer died a couple of months ago and am working in the dark right now trying to input what I can glean from everyone else.

I am curious about the Cross family and am wondering if you know of anyone who married a Farr. Lillie "Epsie" Cross was Lillie Farr, the daughter of Rufus and Charlotte Norris Farr. She was born in about 1908 and the only other mention I have found of her is in her brother Tobe Farr's obituary as one of his sisters. The other was my great-grandmother Vian Farr Overstreet. Vian lived in and around Oakdale and Harriman. I believe "Epsie" lived in Crossville. Thank you. Best regards - Deborah Arapa

I'm a bit confused, I have Wiley listed with death dates of 1890 - 1964, but I dont have Bessie listed because according to the tombstone she was born in 1897 but she doesnt have a death date listed.

I generally dont list anyone if I'm not sure if they are dead. If you find out the death date for her, please let me know and I'll add her to the list. Thanks for pointing this out to me Millie!!!

Wow ! Milly, And here I thought you were down in the 'Smokies'. We are almost neighbors - as we are just to the west of you in northern Indiana, where the wind is howling away, which isn't unusual; but the sky is bright with sunshine today, after nearly a week of gray days, which is pretty normal. Youngest son, Jamie, graduated from OSU last year and we love that place. It seems to be the best run university that any of our five offspring attended, and gigantic at that with 65,000 daytime enrollment. Have a great day. Susan Eppich P.S. for anyone's attention - Trying to find where my Ferdinand Heydemann is resting. He immigrated about 1847 and was murdered in June 1956. He married Ann White of the John C. White and Rachel Hall family and that brought in 2 separate lines of Native American through each of the wives of Joseph White and David Hall. I was very fortunate years ago to have Morgan contact me and send a large GEDCOM So I know that I have connections down there. Hope to visit next year. Warmest wishes to all of you from the frigid north for now and all through the year. Sincerely, Susan E. ----- Original Message ----- From: <MPiros1120@aol.com> To: <TNMORGAN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, December 01, 2003 12:12 PM Subject: [TNMORGAN] A question? > Hello List, > > Maybe someone can answer this question for me.
