Vanessa, My name is Cassie and I'm african american. I have family in Bastrop cnty(Slider,Hyder,Blaylock,& White) Mostly in Hills Prairie and Shiloh. I'm writing because I recognise some of your names. We are related to the Clemons and the Veals from Hills Prairie. Also there is a funeral home in Smithville that has been around for quite some time. It is Pendergrass Peoples Mortuary. The owner is Mrs. Clinton Wright, a very nice lady. Her assistant is Eulene and she is very helpful but there was no real filing system until she started there . She has offered to search for some funeral programs for me. This could take a while because they are not on the computer. Cassie ccassiegal@aol.com
