Just curious...how many people are going to try to make to Belton for any of the Sesquicentennial celebration events next year? I plan to at least make it for the "Bell County Day" on January 22. They are rededicating the newly renovated Bell County Courthouse in Belton. There will be a band, tours, and cake on hand. I believe this is the first of many events planned for the celebration all year long. I think it would be a great idea of a lot of our fellow list subscribers could gather on that day and meet each other in person!

I am looking for a John G. Thompson b. 1805. Don't know when he died. They lived around the town of Jena. I am unfamiliar with this place?? He was married to Eliza Toland. Was on the 1860-1880 census of Bell County. If you happen to see him listed in the cemeteries, I would appreciate knowing. Thank You Jane Dalby Ozona, TX
Peggy, That must be the Rock Hollow Cemetery. The folks you mention are on the inventory of that cemetery as: C.M. Hannon b. 1872 d. 1922 Elijah Hannon b. 1838 d. 1899 Mary McCoy Hannon b. 1835 d. 1915 Cemetery is about 3 miles south of Belton on Toll Bridge Road. These directions were provided by a Randy and Gena Traylor about 6 months ago Joe and Dorothy Button >From the Traylors Northbound IH 35 from Salado. Take the 289A Exit, then take the first right you come to, this should be Old US 81 (Toll Bridge Road). Stay on old US 81 and go through the intersection of 81(Toll Bridge Road) and Elmer King Road, you'll cross an old bridge made of wood at the Lampasas River. Go approximately 1/2 mile past the bridge until you come to a house ( on the right- east) approximately 15 yards off the roadway. There are two gates in front of the house. Go through the southern most gate (it runs beside the house) and follow the dirt road. There are two trailer houses about 100 yards down the dirt road, you'll have to drive around them to the right ( there really is no road to follow around them). The cemetery is about 50 yards past the trailer houses. It is fenced and pretty well kept up. - - - - - - - - - - Bill Bost wrote: > Forwarded from an inquirer... > > Bill Bost > > ----Original Message Follows---- > From: PThomp9719@aol.com > > I noticed you posted the cemetery list of Bell Co.

Hello folks, Following the current thread, I have a Lavinia BECK that died Oct. 1847 in Milam Co in an area that is now Bell Co., and also a Nancy WILLIAMS that died in 1851 in Bell Co. per probate/court records. I would very much appreciate knowing if anyone comes across their names in the cemetery records. Thanks, Teddy in CA
