Hello Barb: My name is: James Douglas Crabtree 719 Joan Street Chandler, Texas 75758 903--849-2993 dcpossuman@embarqmail.com Chandler isn't in Smith county, but another member of the East Texas Genealogical Association (located in Tyler, Texas Smith County) that also lives here in Chandler has been working with me on the Chandler Cemetery since December 1st of last year. We are taking pictures of all of the tombstone so we can get that information out on the internet. Too bad you don't need Chandler instead of Lindale. Since we had our lots, but not our marker, I told my wife, "let's go ahead and purchase our head stone so Frances and I could include our marker with the Chandler Cemetery information. The head stone manufacturer set our stone this past week. While I was in the cemetery I noticed Frances and I had missed a few head stones so we have to go back and get those. Maybe some one will answer you from the East Texas Genealogical Association that is working on the cemeteries around Lindale. Good luck, Doug Crabtree -----Original Message----- From: tx-etgs-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:tx-etgs-bounces@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of bbhunt10@juno.com Sent: Friday, March 28, 2008 10:24 AM To: TX-ETGS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [TX-ETGS] Lindale Does anyone have information about the town of LINDALE in Smith Co ?

Spirits Of Oakwood Tours Of Tyler's Oldest Cemetery Feature 'Ghostly' Volunteers - Staff Photo By Tom Turner OAKWOOD SPIRITS: Jimmie Horton portrays Col. Thomas R. Bonner, a colonel in the Confederate Army and later a member of the Texas Legislature. By JACQUE HILBURN Feature Writer Stories of the dead will be brought to life Saturday during special "spirit" tours of Tyler's oldest graveyard, Oakwood Cemetery. Guided by ghostly volunteers dressed in period costumes, "Spirits of Oakwood" tours are scheduled March 29, 2008 from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. for a cost of $5 per person. The last tour begins at 4:30 p.m. Proceeds from the event will be used to fund the repair of broken monuments, said Maxine Herbst, who chairs Oakwood's restoration committee. "There will be all new spirits this year and all new stories," she said. "We had such a crowd last year, this year we decided to extend the hours." - Staff Photo By Tom Turner Sheryl Chester portrays one of the more than 100 black citizens buried in the cemetery. This is the fourth year for the tours, which coincide with the Azalea and Spring Flower Trail. Oakwood Cemetery is filled with people who helped build the city's early foundation, as well as the unidentified, forgotten and downtrodden. The 19.5-acre site, located off Palace and Oakwood streets, includes more than 2,000 markers, but far more graves are actually located there. A complete accounting of all of Oakwood's dead has been lost to time and progress, but many live on in stories and legends shared by the living. - Staff Photo By Tom Turner Josh Herbst portrays one of the 231 unknown Confederate soldiers buried in the Soldiers' Plot at Oakwood Cemetery. Many of the soldiers, originating from many areas of the South, were stationed at Camp Hubbard for training during the Civil War. There's the story of Katie Bannon, 18, who committed suicide on the eve of her wedding to avoid marrying a man she didn't love. Far less information has been unearthed about the oldest grave site, which belongs to little P.M. Scott, 4, who died Sept. 2, 1852. TOUR HIGHLIGHTS Spirits highlighted during Saturday's tour are expected to include: Jimmie Horton is expected to portray Col. Thomas Reuben Bonner, an attorney and businessman later elected to the Texas Legislature. Joshua Herbst is expected to portray the 231 unknown Confederate soldiers, whose bodies were buried during the Civil War in a 300 by 300-foot plot in the middle of the cemetery. Sheryl Chester volunteered to represent the souls of the city's early black citizens, many of whom were former slaves. "There appear to be about 100 people buried in that section," said Mrs. Herbst. "The markers were removed in the 1930s. Only three markers remain in that section. A lady got a WPA grant, and she had that section cleared and leveled." Established in 1849, Oakwood Cemetery is part of an original 640-acre tract acquired for a public square. The land was divided and a portion was deeded to the city for a cemetery. The graveyard includes the resting places of early settlers, business executives, politicians, war veterans and others. Even though the site is owned and maintained by the city of Tyler, the municipality is barred from spending public money on private grave markers. The Oakwood Cemetery Restoration Committee, which includes members of the Mollie Moore Davis Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, was formed in 1997 to help the city care for the site. "In trying to develop a fundraiser for it, we tried to think of something interesting," Mrs. Herbst said. "This is a way we can educate people about the history of Tyler and help raise money too." Each tour is expected to last about an hour and 30 minutes. Parking is allowed at True Vine Baptist Church. Directional signs are located throughout the city to guide visitors to the location. For more information on tours or support of the cemetery, call 903-593-4642. Donations to help with the project are welcome. Checks made payable to Oakwood Cemetery Restoration Committee can be mailed to Mrs. Herbst, 2509 Bateman Ave., Tyler 75701. For information, call 903-593-4642 or e-mail mhautumn@aol.com.

The East Texas Genealogical Society will hold its regular monthly meeting on Saturday, March 8, 2008, at 2:00 p.m. at the Tyler Public Library in the Taylor Auditorium. The featured speaker will be Debbie Parker Wayne. Ms. Wayne, a professional genealogist, will present a program titled “Using the U.S. BLM-GLO Web Site to Find Land Records.” The Bureau of Land Management – General Land Office has the records of the initial transfer of land from the government to individuals for the public land states. These records date from about 1820 to 1908 and are for most of the eastern public land states. Ms. Wayne’s program will include instructions on how you can search for land records of your ancestors, save a copy of the land patent, and even order a certified original copy of the patent. From these records you can find the information you need to order the land file from the National Archives where additional family information may be found. It was the desire to own land that brought many of our ancestors across the North American continent, and these original records often give us new information about our families that was not available elsewhere. Debbie Parker Wayne completed a successful career in the computer industry spanning over twenty-five years before moving to East Texas in 2000. In 1990, as the technical explosion in genealogy was beginning, her interest and experience with computers provided a perfect complement to her new-found interest in genealogy and family history research. Since moving to East Texas Ms. Wayne has worked full time on genealogical research and has taught many classes for genealogical societies in East Texas. She is a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists, an officer in the Lone Star Chapter APG, and has attended Samford’s Institute of Genealogy and Historical Research. Approximately thirty minutes following the conclusion of the regular program and refreshments, the Computer Interest Group of the East Texas Genealogical Society will meet with Sharon Brogden who will present a program on “Pocket Genealogy.” ETGS meetings are free and open to the public. For more information about ETGS go to our web-site: www.rootsweb.com/~txetgs or contact June Everheart, Publicity Director at Everheart@suddenlink.net or (903)877-4501.
