There have been a few inquiries posted on the list lately, in regards to information on Cemeteries and Census Lookups. I wanted to take the time to remind people and to make the new people aware of Jim Porter's, TXGENWEB site, as well as our BOWIE COUNTY TEXAS GENEALOGY site. Both of these sites have many wonderful resources for the genealogist looking for information in Bowie County and surrounding areas. TXGENWEB http://www.rootsweb.com/~txbowie/ Bowie County Texas Genealogy http://www.usroots.com/~jmautrey/bowie/bowie.htm Please pull these up and either bookmark them or shortcut them to your desktop. Take the time to go into all the links that are available on both sites. Make yourself familiar with them, and visit often as information is added to these sites on a regular basis. Happy Hunting, Becky Cowen-Cornelius TXBOWIE List Administrator

I am looking for directions to Sand Hill Cemetery near New Boston in Bowie County. We are supposed to be related to most of the people buried there. Does anyone know where this cemetery is exactly ? thanks, Tammy Cox

Tammy, Sand Hill Cemetery is located beside the Sandhill Baptist Church (2nd oldest in the county) on FM 561, north of Simms. My sister and I walked this cemetery (along with 31 others while in NE Texas recently) Good Luck!

http://www.texarkana.org/body_todo.html Confederate Monument 5th and State Line Ave. The Confederate Memorial, 5th and State Line, commemorates soldiers of the Confederacy and their Mothers. This monument was the vision of Texarkana resident and C.S.A. veteran Capt. James T. Rosborough and was erected in 1918. The monument's figures were carved in Italy, with special government permission necessary to import them during World War I. The base and canopy were sculpted by Allen Monuments in Texarkana. Thanks, Lynda, [email protected], for the URL to this information. After visiting this site, there are plenty of places to visit in spite of having visited the area for 21 years, many of these places I never knew of.

The original Charles Moores Plantation, I believe, was round and about Mooresville. Probably the only feature of Mooresville left is Harrison Chapel Cemetery. I was recently shown the site of Sweet Springs, the Charles Moores homesite, which is a mile or so west of Harrison Chapel. Though Willis Whitaker is buried at Harrison Chapel, his plantation (Cedar Grove?) was well into present Cass County. Perhaps near Jefferson. I don't know exactly where. James Thomas Rosborough was brought to Texas as a baby by his mother and Willis. I believe that he started a plantation after the War of Northern Aggression in northern Bowie County on the river. I was recently shown the David (son of Charles) Moores farm house, just west of Hwy59 and south of the Sulfur (just barely in Cass County). It still stands and is quite good condition. If you include Rochelle in your list, this group of families, at one time or another, owned a large fraction of eastern Bowie County. Do you know the book by Mrs. Wright, ".. Descendants of Jean Brown and Isaac Ross.."? -- Onward! Through the Fog! Willie http://austinfarm.org/homegrown

I am searching for the grave of Addie Crawford - died 1936. Death certificate is signed by Dr. Crew in DeKalb. She may be buried anywhere from Wards Creek, College Hill, Hubbard, to DeKalb. I do not know which cemetery. Clyde Tidwell is listed as undertaker on her death certificate. I would like to talk with William Hubert Tidwell, son of Clyde Hubert Tidwell, on the chance that he can give a little information about where his father worked (name of a funeral home, cemetery, etc.) Can anyone tell me how to contact him. Or does anyone have any knowledge of a gravesite for Addie Crawford - 1866-1936. Thanks for any help anyone may have to offer. Winnie Tidwell

I have one group of ancestors and cousins that came to present Bowie County in the late 1830s and early 1840s from Fairfield District South Carolina. It seems that the desirable land was the Sulfur River bottom. Fevers must have run rampant there in the days before the mosquito relationship was understood; cemeteries are full of children and young people. Many families lost half their children. Or more. Another, apparently un-associated, group of ancestors and cousins went from Fairfield District to Troup County Georgia in the 1820s; from Troup County, some went to Claiborne Parrish between 1850 and 1855. I have noticed several other Troup-Claiborne connects in apparently unrelated families. I sure wish I knew how well these folks knew one another and how they influenced each other. My interests in Clairborne are McKemie/McKamie, Proctor, Smith, and no doubt others that I am not aware of. My interests in Bowie are Moores, Janes, Whitaker, McKemie/McKamie, Gaither, Watts, Rochelle, Rosborough, Godbold, Harrison, and a plethora of others. -- Onward! Through the Fog!

Just wondering if there are any of the Bowie Co. researchers out there who have found that their ancestors came from Lincoln Co. Tenn./Madison Co. Tenn./Jackson Co. Ala. It appears that many of the requests for information on both the Lincoln Co. Tenn. and Bowie Co. Tex. Web pages are for some of the same people. What was the "event" after the Civil War that attracted the residents of Western Alabama and the residents of Lincoln Co. Tenn. to come to Bowie Co. Texas? I am a native Texan because my ancestors "found the way"! But my question is why? They sure left a beautiful part of the U.S.

Bowie County Citizens Tribune/Dekalb News July 9, 2000, used with permission On June 10, the Avery High School graduation class of 1940 held their 60th year reunion. With 38 members graduation, this class still holds the prestigious honor of being Avery High's largest graduating class. The group met in the Avery Grammar School building with nine members and one former classmate attending. Those attending were: Arlton Brower of DeKalb; Carlton Brower of DeKalb; Mildred and Milvern Cude of Decatur; Edith and Darias Edrington of Annona; Jennie (Rainey) and James Kirkland of DeKalb; Fannie M. (Tucker) Thorp of Annona; Valarie (York) Presley of Avery; Martha Alice and R. T. Stone of Spring Branch; Dorothy (Rosser) Walker of DeKalb; and Royce Miller. Everyone enjoyed seeing and visiting with each other again. Those unable to attend were certainly missed. The seven girls and 10 boys of the group who are now deceased were remembered with a moment of silence and a prayer. This was the fourth reunion since graduation. The first one was held July 4, 1970 at Crystal Lake near Annona with 19 classmates attending. The second one was held May 29, 1982 at Cow Palace Cafe in DeKalb with 18 class members present. The third was held July 6, 1996 as guests of Maurice (Kelse) Hall with nine in attendance.

The children of Jess, Grace and Adeline Faulknor will hold their 12th annual reunion on Saturday, July 15, at Siloam Community Center (located at crossroads of FM 56 and 990) beginning at 10 a.m. with lunch being served at noon. Those planning to attend should bring enough food and drinks for their family, and a little extra for those who have a long way to travel. Family members are also encouraged to bring old family photos, games, and song books and musical instruments for a family singing. For more information, call 903-832-3884 or 903-667-2419.

HONEY OF A BUNNY: Landmark rabbit still enchants By GREG BISCHOF/Of the Gazette Staff Ione Wommack closed the doors to her pawn shop for the last time this spring, but she's not about to let the rabbit get out of the hat-or at least not out of the driveway. For more than half a century, her family's giant, roadside rabbit has attracted tourists traveling through Texarkana on West Seventh Street near the city's western limits. "Right now, I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the rabbit," Wommack said, staring gloomily out at the oversized Texas bunny in front of her now defunct Big Daddy Pawn Shop. "He's been like part of the family for at least 55 years." The king-sized Texas jackrabbit, topped with a horse saddle, still serves as a landmark, reference point and family photo opportunity as it has since 1945, she said. Wommack's father, L.E. Agan, bought the plaster and lambs' wool bunny for a whopping $3 at a local auction in about 1943, according to family records. Shortly after buying the high-rise hare, which stands at least 6 feet tall at its extended ear tips, Agan built and operated Stop-Agan filling station in 1945, where he placed his keepsake for passers-by to see and enjoy. There the rabbit stood even after Wommack and her late husband, Weldon Wommack, bought her father's property in 1968 and built Big Daddy's in place of the former filling station. There the couple operated the shop until April. But even with the change of scenery and proprietorship, the rabbit stood and managed to survive two cars crashes-one chipping off one of his front legs, the other chipping off his tail. Apart from the two auto accidents, the concrete hare has never been out of public sight, except on occasion during the early days when he was mounted on skid wheels and rolled under shelter to avoid inclement weather. Through the years local police dispatchers used the rabbit as a reference point to help officers find houses and streets in the area. To this day, Wommack, 78, still enjoys seeing youngsters pile on the bunny for family photo shoots. "I wish I had a nickel for every time someone took a picture of the rabbit because now I would be a millionaire," Wommack said. "Just this past weekend I had about 15 people come out here and take pictures of it." Wommack said she eventually plans to sell the property, but she can't decide on the bunny's fate. "Until I can do something with the property, the rabbit will be out there for a while," she said. "It might be the most photographed rabbit in Texas.' Although she as had several potential buyers make offers, Wommack said she can't imagine selling the rabbit. "Selling the rabbit would be like selling a member of the family and you don't sell your family," she said. "I guarantee people will miss the rabbit if I ever move it and I'll hate moving it. Dad had an eye for unusual things and this was just about the best unusual thing he ever bought."
