Posted on: Bowie County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/Bowie/532 Surname: Lassiter, Collins ------------------------- I am looking for an obituary for Susie Janette (Lassiter) Collins. She is buried in Northwood Cemetery(Moores Chapel)located north of Texarkana in Bowie Co.,Texas. I believe her husband was Murray Collins (1911-1953). She died on October 24, 1985 in Bowie Co.,Texas. I am interested to know if the Henry Oliver Lassiter(1887-October 21,1972 Dallas Co.,Texas)buried in the same cemetery is by chance her father. Any help on the Lassiter family would be appreciated.

Posted on: Bowie County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/Bowie/530 Surname: Maxey, Custerd ------------------------- Looking for burial or any information on the Robert Lee MAXEY family (white). His Social Security Death Index lists his last residence as being New Boston, Bowie County and death listed as October 15, 1970. He was born around 1887 in Texas and married Minnie CUSTERD. She was born around 1886 and died in 1981. They had three children: James born around 1909 maybe in Missouri, but not sure, Florine born around 1913 in Texas, and Jessie Lee born in 1919 in Red River County. Jessie was later killed while fighting in WWII. The 1920 Census shows the family living in Liberty County, Texas, near Houston, and next door lives B.M. MAXEY and his wife, Dal Chaddie. I'm looking to see if there are any cemetery census listings with the MAXEY name or if anyone knew this family. Thank you kindly.

----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: Gloria B. Mayfield Sent: Monday, February 19, 2001 6:03 AM Subject: Re: Spring Hill Cemetry Springhill Cemetery, Bowie County, TX. My GG grandfather, James (Jimmy) Strain, is buried there alongside his grandson, Clarence Lee Strain. They have no marker. James Strain died in 1895. Clarence died 3/29/1895. I wonder if there are any records that would give the location of their grave. My Uncle James Wesley Strain told my brother before he died that he remembered a wooden fence being around the graves but it has long been removed. Would anyone have a record of old grave locations?

If they exist, anyone know where I might be able to obtain copy of: 1. photo of old Moores home place, that I understand was torn down? This would have been near the Harrison Chapel Cemetery. 2. photo of old Harrison Chapel, that was located at the Harrison Chapel Cemetery, that I understand burned - year unknown? 3. copy of the letters of David & Rachel Godbold Moores, who lived in Cass Co., TX, near the Moores Landing? I understand that the Lone Star DAR Regent M. Kittrell, copied all of their letters and a Diary which gives valuable area history. These were Civil War letters of David Moores. Thanks, Sallie
Anyone have any info on the Robert Jones, who married in Bowie Co., TX? My info shows marriages -- ROBERT JONES & TADIE FORT, mar. 21 Feb 1889, and ROBERT JONES & HATTIE WHITTEN, mar. 15 Feb 1898. My ancestors, WILIAM HENRY HAYWOOD, b. 1810 & his wife, ELIZA JONES, b. 1810 AL, had son ROBERT JONES HAYWOOD, who lived at one time in Bowie Co., TX, and I wondered if the Robert Jones in 1889 & 1898 marriage records, might be related to Eliza Jones.
