I remember passing by a "poor farm" between Reno and Paris and seeing people out working in a field. This was in the early thirties. Everyone was always saying that they would have to go to the poor farm if such and such happened.

I am looking for marriage records for a John Smith Walker and a Mary Belle Hogland. They were married December 9, 1874, in DeKalb, Bowie Co., TX. Could someone in Bowie Co. confirm this marriage and the spelling of their names? I wonder if there is an original or copy of the marriage certificate? With much appreciation.

FYI: Glass Hill Cemetery, Bowie County ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/bowie/cemetery/glasshil.txt Forwarded Message from Jean Old <[email protected]> GLASS HILL CEMETERY This Cemetery was destroyed in the 1930's when a road was built through the center of it. Only one stone is left standing on a mound of dirt on the right side of County Road 4006 off of old Highway 8 South, behind the last brick house on the right as you get to the sand pit. There were several graves located on the left side of the road in a pasture, but the stones have fallen over and covered with sand and grass. Some of the graves were moved to Ringwood Cemetery but the majority are lost to us forever unless someone had a relative buried there and will come forward with their names so we may add to the existing list that Mr. Noah Moody has done as well as Mrs. Verda Mae Terral. If anyone has additional names of persons buried here, please contact the New Boston Genealogical Society.

The last of Texarkana's pioneer car dealers died Saturday. John Edwin Haltom, 94, last surviving partner of Boehmer-Haltom automobile agency, will be remembered for his business acumen as well as his contributions to Texarkana's education community. Haltom's sons, Mickey Haltom and James "Jim" Haltom, looked back on their father's legacy through family albums on Sunday. The albums, compiled by their mother, the late Annie Mae Haltom, chronicle Haltom's life. The Haltoms also have a daughter, Rebecca Robertson of Tyler, Texas. Haltom grew up in the Pleasant Grove community and, following his marriage, joined First Baptist Church in Pleasant Grove, where he was a deacon. He worked for the Direct Coffee Mill for 10 years and opened Haltom's Grocery at the intersection of West Fourth and Whittaker streets when he was 26 years old. Haltom operated the business from 1932 to 1941. As World War II broke out, Haltom could not serve in the military because of his age. However, he did serve the country in another way. Haltom received a certificate from the War Manpower Commission to go to work and help build Lone Star Army Ammunition Plant for B.F. Goodrich Co. A news clipping captioned "Hitler Doesn't Like These Men" accompanies a photograph of Haltom in a training seminar. He simultaneously operated Hillside Dairy in the Eylau community. It was in the Eylau community that Haltom began his work with schools. He was elected to the Eylau School Board. Haltom went to work for Creekmore Motor Company at its 300 block of Pine St. location and eventually bought into the business in 1947 with T.L. Boehmer and Lois Brantley to establish Boehmer-Haltom Motor Co. The firm sold Dodge and Plymouth cars and trucks. In the mid-1950s, they moved the business to New Boston Road where Haltom worked until his 1962 retirement. Haltom worked for about eight years for the Review Appraisal Board for the Bowie County Taxing Authorities. When his family moved to Rose Hill, he was elected to the Texarkana Independent School District Board of Trustees in 1950. Haltom served on the school board until 1962. That same year, Haltom was also elected to the Texarkana College Board of Trustees, serving until 1966. Mickey Haltom recalled that while his father was on the board, Beverly and Spring Lake Park schools were built. Jim Haltom recalled his father's support of the construction of Grim Stadium. But the Haltom son say one of their father's greatest contributions was his efforts to help move Texarkana College from one building at 15th and Pine streets to a 90-acre campus. Haltom was also active with area athletics and helped bring football to Texarkana College. A sportsman himself, Mickey Haltom recalls that his father liked any sport that ended in "ball." Haltom was a leading bowler in the area. Besides bowling, his other passion was building hot rods, Jim Haltom said. Haltom was a devoted member of Rose Hill Baptist Church and was a Sunday school teacher there for more than 55 years. He was chairman of the board of directors at the church for 22 years, working with seven different pastors. By LISA BOSE McDERMOTT of the Gazette

Can someone do a lookup on a Mr. Read who passed away in 1898 in Dalby Springs. I am trying to find out what his first name is. Also does anyone know the names of the cemeteries around there. Christine

How far is Myrtle Springs from Hooks Middle School????? I remember seeing a Myrtle Springs Rd (I think) near the school. ---------- From: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, June 04, 2000 3:35 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [TXBOWIE] Myrtle Springs Baptist Church Myrtle Springs Baptist Church County Road 2111 Hooks, Texas ***** "This is one of the most loving congregations you could walk into. I appreciate the friendliness of the congregation and the love they express for one another-and if that is on target, everything else falls into place."-the Rev. James Seigler ***** Member James Lumbley compiled a history of Myrtle Springs Baptist Church which shows the church was built in 1843. An old deed dated July 30, 1855, describes the first church's location as "a place just off Myrtle Springs Road just south and east of a line between Cecil Eaton and the property just east of him just northeast of where that line intersects with Arthur Lumbley." Lumbley reprinted an article from "The Battle Book" written by Josiah Fort Battle, who died in 1928. The Battles are Lumbley's ancestors. Orren Battle and his three sons and other family members came to the Myrtle Springs community from Mississippi and settled in Myrtle Springs in 1842. In 1839, Dr. Josiah Fort and his family moved near Myrtle Springs, and two of Dr. Fort's daughters married Battles. Another daughter married John Rochelle, and the history written by Josiah Battle says they settled in Myrtle Springs. "These forbears were all Missionary Baptists and this community was composed almost exclusively of people of that faith," Battle wrote. They built the first Missionary Baptist church in Bowie County, he said. The first church building was built of hewn pine logs. The next building was built around 1893 at the church's present site on land given by Collie Moore, a granddaughter of Warren Hooks for whom Hooks was named. In 1947, the building was torn down and some of the lumber was used to build a new church. The church burned in 1973. A new church was built and dedicated the following year. The church has grown continuously, adding acreage and buildings as well as remodeling and updating older structures. The Rev. Lewis Ward Davis was the church's second pastor. His son was Arkansas Gov. Jeff Davis. The third pastor, the Rev. Daniel Buckner, was the father of Robert Buckner who founded Buckner's Orphan Home in Dallas. The Rev. James Seigler, current pastor, came to the church in 1996. "It's the best church in the country," Seigler said. "I appreciate the friendliness of the congregation and the love they express one for another. If that is on target, everything else falls into place." Other staff members include youth minister Gary Early, music director Kenneth Hall, Bible study director Eddie Anderson and discipleship director David Redden. Charlene Foltz serves as secretary. Seigler said the church has been completely remodeled and also has a new education wing. "This is the only church I have ever pastored that has done everything necessary for growth," Seigler said. "The church is growing and we are thankful for that. If we keep our eyes on the Lord it will continue to grow." ***** Affiliation: Southern Baptist Convention ***** Members: 700 ***** Services 10:15 a.m., 7 p.m. Sundays and 7 p.m. Wednesdays For other activities, call 547-6256 ***** Pastor: the Rev.

Hi, will someone with information on the October Fest this Saturday in DeKalb mail in the information to the list, please? I have been looking for an ad in the Texarkana paper, and nothing so far. But there are several people interested in attending. We need the times, locations, events, activities, whatever we can get. Anna Brett, who is a member of the New Boston Gen Society did tell me that she and other members of the NBGS will be at the "Williams House". The NBGS will have a table set up there. So, be sure and stop by! Vicki
