    1. Re: [TXBASTRO] Eddie Chambers, how to find info on 1930s Bastrop orTravis Co ...
    2. Here are some Chambers burials for African Americans and it looks like your Eddie: Chambers, Eddie M B Unkn 8/21/1939 Son of Washington Chambers and May Franklin, died of Tuberculosis and buried at Union Hill by King Funeral Home in Austin, TX was 34 years old and divorced. There may not be a record of this at the courthouses. Chambers, Francis F B unkn none dau of Lee Chambers and Leola Rollings. Chambers, Green M B unkn 02/27/1925 Fairview (Black section)(City of Bastrop Hwy 95) Chambers, Jessie B 10/31/1884 9/10/1963 Pleasant Hill (Sayersville 179) Chambers, Joe M B unkn 12/03/1919 son of Green and Martha Chambers Fairview (Black section)(City of Bastrop Hwy 95) Chambers, Lee M B Unkn 12/16/34 Son of Green and Martha Wilbarger Chambers. 36y 3m 6d Bastrop Chambers, May F  B Unkn 11/22/30 Dau of Nelson Overtell New Hope (Black) (Camp Swift) Chambers, Rufus M B unkn 04/16/1919 son of Alex and Shivlet Chambers Olive Chambers, W. H. M B Unkn 3/20/35 Son of Will and Sarah Chambers. 67y 1m New Hope If Eddie was killed in Webberville, I'm not sure you will find this in any newspapers unless there was a trial. It is kind of out there by itself, once a thriving town. In a previous message you mentioned their neighbors of Hodge? There is a Linnie Hodge 52yrs old, Daughter of Houston Hodge and Caroline, Af Amer, died 1/1939 in Union Hill and also buried by King Funeral Home in Austin. Hey looks like we're on the right track. Jim Howard and May Townsend had son John Howard who died at age 16, buried at Magnolia Cemetery by King Funeral Home in Austin. There is a King Tears Mortuary Inc in Austin at 512-476-9128. Not sure if this is them, but they may help. If you call them, ask if they know where New Hope at Camp Swift is or Union Hill. I don't have it on my map but I know there are some off of 95 near Camp Swift, in pastures.
