Yes, that is really nice. Unfortunately, I think they removed the funeral notice archives that list an entire month at a time. That is what we were using to populate our archives (with permission). I am checking on it. Joe D.

Aliases: Henry H. Smith, Homer H. Smith, H. H. Smith. Family members: Mattie A. Reddoch, Willie Hester Locke Smith, Wister Allen Smith, Ethel Mae Smith, Henry Homer Smith, Jr., Wilson Bankston Smith. They are listed incorrectly on 1920 census. He died of T.B. Feb. 11, 1920. A methodist minister, Mr. O. O. Moore, petitioned the court to help Mrs. H. H. Smith and children. Children were placed in Corsicana Orphans Home in 1922. Any newspaper articles on this family who were living in Bell County in 1920 would be appreciated. I will be happy to reimburse you or if you can tell me what newspaper or where you find the information and I will make copies when I visit the Temple Library. Thank you, Patricia Ruskauff

This is a wonderful website - I love it. Included in the Hillcrest Cemetery photos are tombstones of my great grandparents and some other family members - thank you so much! Although I now live in Idaho, I grew up in Temple and spend a lot of time researching family from that area. I would be glad to do look- ups from the following books: "History of Bell County" by George W. Tyler (1966), "The Way it Was", published by Retired Senior Volunteer Program of the Central Texas Council of Governments (1975), and "The Prairie Queen and Her Choo-Choo Train (It's about Temple, Texas, and then some)", by A. Bryant Messer (1976). A Happy New Year to you all, Waneva Hill Maymon
