St. John's Luthern Church is at the edge of town; Volo is up yonder a little bit north of us; Stockton Ceme. is over yonder a little bit west of town; some other little cemeteries, including one they just stumbled across out on Sullivan or Sunshine road...want I should get some of those for you? -----Original Message----- From: MaryAnn Bartlett <bartlett@vvm.com> To: TXBELL-L@rootsweb.com <TXBELL-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Tuesday, June 15, 1999 12:07 PM Subject: Re: [TXBELL-L] Bell County Historical Commission Page |Disclaimer at beginning of SOBCT: The present information is being |transcribed onto the site as published in 1988. Once the entire two volumes |of text are posted, we will begin, with help from any and all descendents, |to update the information. | |Cemeteries of Bell County: I have a copy of the elderly book, could I help |you transcribe some of them? I am trying to get 10 more biographies up |today so that we hit the 100 mark. I would like to see a note somewhere, in |big letters, telling people I am doing these biographies in an effort to |help build the sites for the celebration. I don't want anyone to think that |because my name is plastered up there so much that I am the only one that |can submit the biographies...and something to tell them where to send their |updates or, if they submit an update to the site, who to contact to get the |older one off. You guys know that if I had my way about it, I would put |Klem K. Kadiddlehopper as the person submitting. I just hope that someday, |descendents will find the biographies and update them replacing my posts |with theirs. | |You might also consider a note on biographies about not putting up |information about living people. | |Just asking: Would it be better if I didn't send you chapter material until |I have typed up the whole chapter....or is it okay to send it in pieces like |I have been doing. | |Let me know about the cemeteries......ohhhhhhh...could you please give |credit to Mr. and Mrs. Cowsert of Austin for doing the update of the |Bartlett Cemetery..and the Mayor, Bruce Swope, of Bartlett for giving |permission to use the list. Mr. Cowsert left me a message the other day |that he will be bringing an updated disk by for me to send you. I have |offered to give him your addy but he seems to want me to send it to you. | |I don't know anything about making webpages...but I do know I am more likely |to dive into the depths of a site if I can "go by links" rather than having |to go back to the beginning and reinvent the search. Could maybe you talk a |local server like VVM into donating someone that can do webpages to visit on |a regular basis and then contact you to help you? Just a thought...is |FrontPage the one from AOL??? |-----Original Message----- |From: Bill Bost <longwired@hotmail.com> |To: TXBELL-L@rootsweb.com <TXBELL-L@rootsweb.com> |Date: Tuesday, June 15, 1999 11:28 AM |Subject: [TXBELL-L] Bell County Historical Commission Page | | ||Howdy TXBELL Listers! ||I've been working on the BCHC pages recently, and would like to get some ||feedback from possible users. There are some links that don't work right ||(Live Oak Cemetery photo is in the wrong folder at the moment, and "Back to ||Top" isn't correct on some pages), and content for the Story of Bell County ||(SOBC) is going on pieces at a time (with lots of help from MaryAnn ||Barlett). || ||I'd like to know what you think might help with navigation, whether the ||navigation buttons help or not (some of them, like in Chapter XV of SOBC, ||are WAY too busy), if the photo album is a good idea, and so forth. If you ||find something not working, feel free to let me know now, or at some point ||in future. FrontPage98 is new to me, as is HTML, and there's LOTS of room ||for errors (me) and improvements (the page). A very basic idea is to make ||the pages as user-friendly as possible, somewhat logical in flow and |format, ||and USABLE. Some things are experimental, in that I'm not sure how to make ||them work, but over the long term, I think the BCHC page can become quite |an ||information source for researchers. || ||Please try the hyperlink to the County Archives, and see if the new search ||engine feature works for you. There are something like 33 cemeteries with ||lists there, although very dated, and more are coming. We'll try to update ||old lists in the very near future to be more current. || ||When looking at the SOBC pages, please remember the book's publication |date, ||1988, and remember that much information is probably not current. We hope |to ||add some sort of in-text update feature, to provide more-current info. || ||Thoughts? || ||Bill Bost ||Bell County Coordinator ||TXBELL Listowner ||BCHC webmaster ||WBGS webmaster ||Interim Museum webmaster || || ||_______________________________________________________________ ||Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
