My great grandparents lived in DeKalb but left there in l892. They must have lived not too far from the old cem. Shadrack Franklin Stewart was a founding member of the Meth Church.and started paying taxes in l848. Several members of his family and of his first wife's family must be buried in the old cem. I have no proof, just an educated guess. He either owned a hotel or ran a hotel before he left for central Tex. HEre are the ones I think could possibly be buried in the old cem: Sarah H Shuffield Stewart (died ca l864 I think from Measles (first wife of Shadrack F Stewart) Below are some of his ch: Cordelia Stewart (l858-and prob died in l864 ) Almeda Stewart (l864 and not on the l880 census and I've never located her--of course she could have married but my grandmother never mentioned her so perhaps she died early Willy Stewart l874-l892 stabbed to death when he came upon a fight and got in the way A. (female listed as age 2 on the l880 census and never memtioned by my grandmother Newel Stewart l887-l890 All the above are children of Shad Stewart l826-l897 Does anyone have a list of schools and school children in DeKalb about l890?? MY grandmother (next to the last child of Shadrack and Lucy Ann ) was born in l884 and would have attended school for awhile before leaving for central Tx in l892. I would enjoy hearing from you and your thoughts on the above people possibly being buried in the old cem. Sincerely, Lajuan
