Students map graves in Nacogdoches cemetery By AP Tuesday, December 2, 2008 NACOGDOCHES, Texas (AP) - Faculty from the Stephen F. Austin geology department and archaeology department, as well as students representing the geography club, sociology club and anthropology club, have spent the last month and a half locating unmarked graves in a 100-year old cemetery near downtown. The Zion Hill Cemetery, associated with the Zion Hill Baptist Church, was first established in the late 19th century. The cemetery was vandalized and began to fall into disrepair following World War II, according to Jeff Roth, an SFA professor of geology who is working on the project. The city assumed custodianship of the cemetery a few decades later, but it continued to be neglected. "The city came through in the late 60s or early 70s and channelized the creek and cut (Park Street) through the cemetery," Roth said. "So a 2-acre cemetery was whittled down into the little postage stamp it is today. Now it's just a little bit less than a half acre." Roth said the Zion Hill Cemetery is in an area that was once a segregated neighborhood in Nacogdoches. He said he hopes the research and restoration will keep a part of Nacogdoches history from fading away. "We're losing the historical context of the cemetery, and we're trying to bring that into the current memory. We're trying to show that there was a significant African American presence here," Roth said. "All of those memories are starting to slip away." Roth said a generational shift has made it difficult for young people to imagine life in segregated America. "Even landscapes of the dead were segregated. Funeral homes were segregated. I think that opens up some minds and shows what segregation was all about." he said. "Even in death, we segregated ourselves." Roth said he will make a presentation about the project at an academic anthropology conference in the spring. Part of the presentation will discuss how to involve college students with service projects. SFA student volunteers said the research into the cemetery helped them better understand a part of Nacogdoches history that is rarely discussed. "The cemetery's history is something that has kind of been covered up. Nobody really talks about it," Jenna Smith, a junior history major, said. "I couldn't believe the city of Nacogdoches did something like this. I could never imagine just plowing through peoples' graves." Roth and Dr. Leslie Cecil, an SFA professor of anthropology, estimate that there are around 40 unmarked graves in addition to the 30 or so marked graves in the cemetery. Roth speculated that there could be unmarked graves directly beneath Park Street, which currently runs through the original land owned by the Zion Hill Baptist Church. Cecil is in charge of the technology used in locating the unmarked plots. She and her student volunteers used an electromagnetic ground-penetrating radar that reads varying soil densities as deep as 9 meters underground. The earliest marked headstone in the cemetery dates back to Feb. 8, 1897, and the most recent remaining headstone belongs to Charley Blakey, who died in 1945. According to the historical marker in front of the cemetery, the cemetery is the final resting place for John B. Liggins, Amiel Rivers and Jim Smith, three Nacogdoches men who served in World War I. "The burial ground remains a chronicle of the African American pioneers of Nacogdoches," the historical marker reads. C 2008 The E.W. Scripps Co.

One more thing. I upgraded my Family Tree program to 2009 version (boy, is it different) and I got Ancestry.com for 14 days free. I really am finding more information with this, so think I will keep it for at least one year. I found Nancy Clarissa Whiteside Roden on the 1900 Texas census (she died in 1907) and she is living with her son Jim Roden (James Armstrong Roden) at Petty, TX. Also, tracking other people's Roden line on Ancestry, I found that the name may have been spelled Wrouten (or something like that --I always knew that name had been changed, but I thought it probably started out with Rho...). ----- Original Message ----- From: James Williams DDS To: Pat Galloway Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2008 11:22 PM Subject: Re: DAR application Hey Pat I hope this email finds you well. That is great that you have sent in for your DAR. I dont know all that the process involves but I know that it is quite extensive. Could you send me a copy of Grandmother Issac's Obit. with the Marriage dates that is really a great find. Again congradulations on at least your application for DAR. I'm so glade you are still finding more Info.. Sincerely Jim P.S. looking for the 1930 census right now.

I think Mary is doing really well for such a major surgery. She said she was beginning to have more energy. I told her about my DAR application and the problems I had with it. If it is approved, I will be a member of the Mary Tyler chapter in Tyler. And I will send you copies of the proofs I sent in just in case you ever want to join the Sons of the American Revolution. One reason I wanted to do this, is now I can use their records to help me do some more research. I know several men in my genealogy group are members of the SAR. I sent 30+ pages and I could not locate Grandmother Isaacs marriage to John Hardin Isaacs (I sent letters & emails to 18 counties), but I used the 1930 census that listed her as his wife and my mother as his stepdaughter. After the applic had been mailed, Mom located grandmother's obituary which listed both husbands - and I could have used that. It gave a specific date for the second marriage, Feb. 17, 1930. I couldn't believe it. I think whoever married them - supposedly in Borden County, TX forgot to turn the license in to the County Clerk. Hello to Tap. Love, Pat

Ok, will do. Thanks.

The East Texas Genealogical Society will hold its regular monthly meeting on Saturday, November 8, 2008, at 2:00 p.m. at the Tyler Public Library in the Taylor Auditorium. The featured speaker will be Elizabeth “Liz” Nitschke Hicks, a fourth generation Texan. Ms. Hicks descends from early German settlers of Comal, Travis, and Austin Counties and is the genealogy editor for the German-Texas Heritage Society and Angel Chair for the Clayton Library Friends. The title of her program will be “All I Know Is Great Grandpa Came From Germany.” Ms. Hick’s presentation will instruct the researcher in how to get started on his German or European ancestor and will include a discussion of various records and where to find them. The goal will be to determine the ancestor’s place of origin in Germany. Attendees will be given a handout with helpful websites to use in their search. The information will be valuable to anyone starting their genealogical research. Approximately thirty minutes following the conclusion of the regular program and refreshments, the Computer Interest Group of East Texas Genealogical Society will meet and Joe Guzzetta will present a program titled “How to Find a Grave.” ETGS meetings are free and open to the public. For more information about ETGS go to our web-site: www.etgs.org or contact June Everheart, Publicity Director at 1stvp@etgs.org or (903)877-4501.
