Researching the Shine & Austin families of Pendleton & Belton. My great-grandparents were FREDERICK ARTHUR SHINE, b. March 1893 in Pendleton and HARRIET FRANCES AUSTIN, b. December 1891 in Belton. They married ca. 1912, remaining in Belton for 7 or 8 years before moving to Dallas. Their first child, FREDERICK ARTHUR SHINE, JR was born in Belton in April 1916. Their daughter MARY FRANCES was born in Dallas in 1920. Fred, Sr. died in 1974 in Dallas. Harriet died in 1976, also in Dallas. Fred, Jr. died May 1967 in Atlanta, GA. Harriet was the daughter of George Norman Austin. I have a copy of the Austin geneology, though it incorrectly lists Harriet's given name as Hattie and her husband as "Mr. Skine." I haven't been able to find anything on the Shine family. My father recalls Fred, Sr. had siblings named RAYMOND, WILL, and LOSSIE, among others, and that the mother's name may have been LAURA STINGLEY. He also recalls a HUGH, though he doesn't know if this was a brother of Fred, Sr., a nephew or cousin. I have pictures of Fred Sr. and Jr. with two people noted on the backs in Fred Sr's handwriting as "Paw & Grandma". One photo, taken ca. 1920, lists "Paw" as 54 or 64 years old (the writing is obscured there). Can anyone help? Thanks in advance. Lisa Shine Burford LBurf73801@aol.com
