I'm continuing the survey of the Oak Hill Cemetery in Smithville. Instead of sending emails with the survey, I've set up a file (no links to it, so save this address if you're interested). The address is: http://www.rootsweb.com/~txbastro/cemetery/oakhillsmithville.html When I'm done, I'll sent it to the cemetery project page. For the person interested in Milton Joseph Bishop, he was in the first section (from the front gate go all the way to the back far left side, and in that section, come back 3 rows. There was one other grave. There is a small infant's grave of his child, b. 1910, with a small headstone and cement curbing in a small rectangle to show it's an infant. At the foot of this curbing is the large headstone for Milton, facing the same direction as the infant's, with cement curbing in a large rectangle showing it's an adult size grave. There are no other headstones close enough to indicate other family members. Most of the family sections have cement curbing to show each family section, with most having the last name spelled out in tile. As I complete the survey I will start dividing the sections and adding the family name so you can figure out who goes with whom. I can only do this one on weekends so it will be a while before I'm done. I went yesterday and today and am still typing up what I got so you might look again later. I take a tape recorder with me and say the information into it, then come home and type it up at night. Just a hint for those that want to try surveying a cemetery. I spell names out that are spelled different ways and make sure I spell last names that are not common. Most are old headstones and difficult to read and many have inscriptions that I can't read. Also, there is a mold or fungus that grows on some kinds of headstones, looks like moss and some looks like rust. That also makes it hard to read.

Ran across a small cemetery today while looking for another. It's on Upper Cedar Creek Road (Cnty 108) about 4 miles south of Bastrop off of FM 304 (about 1 mile off of 304). Its well kept with a chain link fence around it. 108 is across from the old Trigg Place and before Hills Prairie.

There was a Blue County in Oklahoma before statehood. It was part of the Choctaw Nation, IT. Most of the counties and Bryan and Atoka were formed from it in 1907.

If anyone is interested, I have drawn up the layout of the Oak Hill Cemetery in Smithville. I can probably convert it to about any format necessary. I was able to take photos of the drawings created by the company that refurbished and added to the cemetery.

I went by the Oak Hill Cemetery today in Smithville, knowing I wouldn't just happen upon your Milton Bishop with the first try. So I just started surveying it, hoping to get a small section at a time. This is a very large cemetery. Several familiar names were in this section, such as Moore, Hill, Bishop, Townsend, Haynie, Baylor, Litton and others. Anyone know the language and translation for the Tomanio's listed below? Here's the ones I got, in the order found, starting in the back, far left section, last two rows. Lowrey, Ida Mae 10/7/1869 5/25/53 Lowrey, J.

Have to split up this email as the list was too long. I went by the Oak Hill Cemetery today in Smithville, knowing I wouldn't just happen upon your Milton Bishop with the first try. So I just started surveying it, hoping to get a small section at a time. This is a very large cemetery. Several familiar names were in this section, such as Moore, Hill, Bishop, Townsend, Haynie, Baylor, Litton and others. Anyone know the language and translation for the Tomanio's listed below?

OK, forgot that I changed the website to try and get rid of some of the layers of links. The cemetery inscriptions alpha links are on the main page. Duh.

I just added new links to the bastrop county page for deaths/births/divorces/marriages. These records are housed on rootsweb and are for later years. Also, since it's been a long time, I updated the cemetery inscriptions that are by alpha. On main page, click on cemeterys and then click on the letter you wish to see. If you find a person that belongs to you, I would be glad to add more info on them, such as parents names or spouse name. I didn't bother reformatting the files to look neat and in columns as I hope to update often, overwritting old files, and the main objective is to get it out there for you. I see that someone has volunteered to survey the cemeteries in the Rockne area. Cemetery surveys are housed on the genweb project page for cemeteries. Link is on bastrop page also. Was contacted by a volunteer who is willing to do others so one day, hopefully, they will all be online. Still trying to scan and upload the confederate civil war military cards I copied.

Does anyone have the email for the Bastrop Library also looking to see if anyone has this book Roadside History of Texas by Leon C. Metz thanks Lisa

Guess who got the Serbin book. LOL Thanks for the tip. Haven't been there before but have seen lots of reference on other county lists I'm on and was amazed at some of the treasures that were being sold. It was easy to use. There is a bible on there for sale right now, florida family. Oh to be so lucky as to find something like that on our Bastrop County families. Anyway, the Serbin book will be great to own. Saw a book today at the library referencing Serbin and the Reverand of that church, with it's history. There are some postcards available now also on ebay. One of the old Smithville bridge and the old Bastrop Train Depot.

Hello, I am wondering the following and hopefully someone can help. I would like to know where I could find a list of sheriffs, deputy sheriffs who were in Bastrop in 1883. Thanks Lisa I know there was a Deputy Sheriff Syd Jenkins but have been unable to find any information on him.

This Davis family isn't in the Gill, Davis, Thompson line. Sorry I can't help you on your Davis Family.
