This was the company that handled the death of Annie E. Hardin in November of 1926 according to her obituary. Annie's second husband was William C. Hardin, a mayor of Texarkana near the turn of the century. Annie was brought to Monroe, LA for burial. I do not know where William is buried. I have been researching Annie for a while now, as she is a most colorful (and mysterious) character of my community of Monroe, LA. Thanks for any help and information you can give!
I am researching the family of Elijah F. Franks. It appears Elijah was married two times and lived in Alabama, Arkansas and Texas. These are the children I have and it may be incomplete: James Robert b. 1876, m. Mary Elizabeth Bloxham; William Porter b. 1890, m. Lisa Moran; Etta b. 1890 (W. P. and Etta appear to be twins), m. George Flannery; Dillie b. 1894, m. John Harden; Lizzie b. 1900, Noble b. 1902, and Lennard b. 1906. I am in hopes someone in this family still lives in the area and can help me with this family. I would like to know where the family was living in 1900 poss. in Arkansas? Any help with this family will be appreciated and I am willing share other information I have on this family.

I found Samuel & Millie Ramsey Kennington in Precinct 3, 5 & 8, Clay Co, TX page 490D in 1880 with their daughter Lula M aged 9 mos. (at the LDS 1880 census site). They're living next door to her sister, Martha Jane Ramsey Hicks, and her husband, William F Hicks, with daughter R aged 3 and son John 8 mos. Hoping to find Elizabeth Ramsey on the 1880 census. Thanks so very much for your help. Now I'm definitely getting confirmation of the information my daughter provided. After all, without confirmation, it's just another pretty story!

I did try using just the Iva/Ivy first name trying to match up with the Burton woman but nothing looked significant. Interestingly there is a Burton man (and family) just prior to the 1920 census you cite for Archie and Maud Easley. I have not identified him. I had used the Bowie USGenWeb page but did not check thoroughly enough now I see. I could not see a search engine for the whole county page so you must have stepped through all the categories?? I do thank you. Just an aside, but I am very steeped in Bowie Co. My GGGrandparents were there before 1840, John Nunn Stewart and Isabella Jane Hoskins (probably sister to Alfred Gatewood Hoskins of Bowie Co.) You will note I have submitted the Stewart Bible record to the Bowie page. Thank you very much. Shirley BOGART Harper
