Contact a near by Funeral Home to ask who has the burial records on a certain cemetery. They usually know. They may also have the name of a grave digger who is another source of information. Sometimes they can take you straight to a grave. donna http://users.htcomp.net/donnasdigs Donna's Digs ----- Original Message ----- From: <Jrrasco@aol.com> To: <TXBOSQUE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, November 30, 2002 3:04 PM Subject: [TXBOSQUE] Looking for graves It is nice when graves have readable headstones but that is not always the case. Don't give up just because there is no marked. First try and determine which cemetery the grave is located in. This can sometimes be done by information provided by a descendant or close family relative. Another source would be a death certificate or obituary which would give the name of the cemetery and/or the funeral home which handled the burial. Most funeral homes that handled the burial maintain records, maps, and section, lot, and grave number. Most public cemeteries normally has someone who must be contacted before a burial can be made in the cemetery. This person normally has records and maps to show who own or purchased the lot or grave and can show you where that lot of grave is located. This is certainly true for most modern burials. Once you have located an unmarked grave of your relative or ancestor be sure to place a headstone on the grave for future generations. Those who register cemeteries or make list of burials should not only list the tombstones but seek out the actual burial record keeper to record all burial in the cemetery. If the cemetery is divided up into sections, rolls, lots, and plot numbers, these locations should also be included with the tombstone or unmarked burial site. Does any one know who has the burial records and lot ownership records for the Brazos Point Cemetery???? James R.

I have been trying to find my Father's grave in Bosque County for several years. I have been told that he is buried in what is referred to as the "Clifton Cemetery" but when I ask people in Clifton where it is located, no one is really sure. His name is Edgar R. Stanford and I believe the burial date or date of death was Aug. 1, 1971. This is possibly a grave site without a stone and I would like very much to locate the site and provide a headstone. I have made several trips to Clifton trying to locate the correct cemetery without success. I know for sure it is not the Lutheran Cemetery located on Hwy. 6 just East of town. I would really appreciate any help if anyone has a source for this information.

The Clifton Cemetery is next door to the Lutheran Cemetery. They are enclosed in the same block wall, but each has its own entrance. I was just there last month looking for Greenwades and discovered this. The entrance closest to the town is the Lutheran Cem. The other entrance is Clifton Cemetery. The graves in the center, between the two entrances, I thought of an imaginary line separating it in two parts. This is what the Clerk at the Courthouse suggested that I do.

I don't have time to post all my ancestors and cemeteries from Bosque County until later in 2003, because we're trying to pack to move back to Texas (Montgomery County) in early January. However, if anybody runs across the name JOHN WILSON MCKISICK or J. W. MCKISSICK in one of their cemeteries, please let me know. He's supposed to be buried in Ft. Graham Cemetery, but if he is, there's no marker. I just keep thinking I'll find him somewhere. His daughter Sarah Anne Claybrook is buried in Ft. Graham along with her daughter and in-laws. Luv, Brownie (Bosque County is the BEST list)

I have done several cemeteries here in Hill County, but I haven't gotten them all up n there as of yet, plus I have put up a bunch of family also.

One of my favorites is Find A Grave. Lots of the cemeteries aren't complete but they are growing all the time. The one draw back for some is you have to have a user name and password but there is no cost. You can also add your cemetery or relatives and friends and can add pictures, leave flowers, notes, bios. Even look up famous people. So far I have entered 36 names and what pictures I had. I've also found relatives by doing a surname search with and without state. The URL is: http://www.findagrave.com Hope you enjoy it and will list your relatives and friends to the cemetery of choice. Linda

Hi all, I hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with plenty of Alka Seltzer on hand? Since Linda brought up a cemetery URL, I thought we'd start a cemetery roll call. Here's what we'll do: 1) If you have a cemetery URL that you'd like to share, please do. 2) List cemeteries by towns in, or within 10-15 miles of, Bosque County. Example: If a person was going to visit Valley Mills, what are all the cemeteries that are in & near Valley Mills. I'll list these in our new "Cemeteries by Towns" section of our web site. 3) Tell us your Bosque County burials. What Cemetery are they in, dates, etc.? 4) Have fun Bettie <><

There are some Texas cemeteries listed at: http://teafor2.com They may be helpful to someone. Linda

Hello list, I got this on another list and thought it interestering enough to share. Hope you enjoy it. Linda FUNERAL ETIQUETTE 1885 We will imagine that I have a funeral to conduct at the horse of the deceased; time. 2 o'clock P. M. About to o'clock A. M. of the same day will find me at the house, placing chairs, arranging flowers, and doing such other work as my hands find to do. When taking the casket into the house is the time I map my way out with it. This avoids delay and gives the bearers a good impression of your ability. Previous to retiring I ascertain where and for whom carriages are tied call, and also request them to have a carriage list in readiness for me, on my arrival at the house at 1:30 P. M. I usually have a hack call at my office to convey me to the house. I always make it a point to be on time. I supply myself with one of my printed carriage lists. and always have a small brush broom in my pocket to brush the dirt off the casket after removing the flowers. Arriving at the house, my first duty is to copy my carriage list, making sure to have it as accurate as possible; then finish arranging flowers and placing chairs. After ascertaining where the mourners are to be seated, I take my station at the door, prepared to receive the guests and conduct them to their seats, opening and closing the door as quietly as possible. I assign to the minister and singers their respective stations, and at the appointed time quietly announce to the minister that we are in readiness to proceed, and resume my station at the door, to admit "straggling guests." Why they persist in coming late, knowing the time set for the funeral, is a mystery that no funeral director is able to solve, but it is one of the crosses we have to bear. Immediately after the service I conduct the minister and singers to carriages, instructing the driver to convey them to their homes and return as soon as possible. Returning, I arrange everything about the casket to my taste and announce to the guests in the various apartments, one apartment at a time, that all opportunity will be given them to take leave of their friend, always having a care to select the different apartments, so as to avoid confusion. I have omitted to say that, if an organization were in attendance, and the apartment wherein reposed the casket were not occupied by the mourners that apartment world be delegated to them. After they have performed their service, I request them to resume their seats, and they are the last to retire. If the weather is such that they can not remain out of doors with comfort, they retire to a remote apartment and remain in it until summoned. In announcing the carriages in readiness, I announce the last one in the procession first, and after escorting them to the carriage and assisting them in, I order the hack moved on two carriage lengths, and each carriage in succession passes by and takes position in front of the former one. This method allows the immediate mourners a short time alone with their dead, which I have invariably found appreciated. If the body has not started decomposing, viewing is allowed. After the carriages are formed in line, I immediately prepare my casket for the bearers, instructing them how to remove it, and, preceding the casket myself, see it safely deposited in the hearse. Returning, I remove the crape from the door, and place the pedestals and rug out of sight. The bearers enter their carriage, and if an organization is present, they file out in front of that carriage, the hearse in rear of the hearers, and when past the procession, the hack on the right follows in rear of the hearse, and we proceed to the cemetery. Previous to the funeral the outside box has been delivered at the cemetery and deposited in the grave, the mound of dirt nicely covered with a grass-green cloth, the grave lined with white cloth, fastened around the edge with common wire nails, and allowed to hang loose inside, and sticks placed over the grave to support the casket, and have straps convenient to lower it. On arrival at the cemetery, if attended by an organization, they have previously been instructed tied open ranks at the gate, allowing the procession to pass through. Arriving at the grave, I immediately remove all flowers from the hearse, instructing the bearers to spread them over the green cloth on the mound. The casket is removed, brushed off, and placed over the grave; then the hearse is driven away and I repair to the carriages tied ascertain if the occupants wish to alight; if so, I assist them and conduct them to the grave. If there is service at the grave, at the proper time the body is lowered, after which the mourners are reconducted to their carriages, the bearers take positions on either side of the drive, the organization pens ranks on either side the gate, and the procession passes through and away. I remain and arrange the flowers as I wish them laid on the grave. Having given you my method of conducting a home funeral, as concise and plain as possible, I will now ask your indulgence for a moment while I write a word in reference to church funerals. Previous to the time of the funeral I have ordered all flowers, except those destined to repose on the casket, to be taken to the church, where I repair with my church truck, for which I have a black and a white drape, and after placing it in the most convenient place in the vestibule, to receive the casket, I arrange the flowers around the platform as (rest I can. I have ascertained how many seats will be occupied by the mourners, and draw a white ribbon to designate them. I usually reserve the front seats on the right of the centre aisle for them and opposite seats for organizations. The procession leaves the home in the same way as described in the home funeral. Arriving at the church, the hearse is drawn to one side, and I immediately assist the mourners out of the hacks. instructing them tied form procession in the vestibule and await my coming.When all have been assisted out, I repair to right of procession and conduct them slowly to their seats, removing the ribbon as I pass down, and seating them as nearly as possible as they were seated in the carriages. I then retire, remove the casket from the hearse and place it on the bier, arranging the flowers on the casket. If organizations are in attendance, they now file in to their seats, remaining standing until the casket is in position. The bearers precede the casket down the aisle and open ranks, allowing me to pass through. I place the casket, remove the lid unless the body is decomposed, putrefied or emits a foul odor, the bearers file to their seats, and giving a nod to the minister, the service proceeds. At its close I arrange everything about the casket, and announce in a quiet way that those present desiring to take leave of their friend will now have an opportunity, passing down one outside aisle and out by way of the other. I lead them to the casket, the procession always passing from foot to head, and take my position near the mourners, remaining standing until all have passed out, the organizations being the last in the procession. I then announce to the mourners that they will take leave of their friend and resume their seats, always giving them ample time. I retire, have the carriages drawn up, same as at the home funeral, reconduct the mourners out, assist them into their respective carriages and proceed to the cemetery as from the home.

I am looking for information on the ancestry of Mary Otterson (or Auterson or Etterson) who married Roy Raymond May on 20 Jun 1914 in Bosque Co, TX. Mary was born in (or around) 1883, and died in 1945. She is buried in Clifton Cemetery, Clifton, Bosque Co, TX. Roy and Mary had five children: Walter Emerald May (1915-1986) Lida and Ida May (twins) Anna Marie May (d. 1998) Amy Nell May (b. 1921) -- Buz Gerald Busby (aka Buz, aka The Buzzard) Dallas TX Visit me at my web sites. The Lobby entrance is at http://www.buzzard.cjb.net You are welcome at any time. I am researching the families of Busby, Perritte, Shannon, May, Duke, Weehunt, Lechler, Drahn and others, and the migrations of these families into Texas.
