This message is for Keith Reed. Am enclosing a message I received answering an inquiry last July from [email protected] <[email protected]>.: "Sheila: In the book "Rural Cemetery Inscriptions Brown County Texas" by Hazel Ellis Wetzel In the Blanket Cemetery: Side by side! Williams, Jemima C. (Mot) b. 10 Aug 1859 - d. 17 Aug 1910 Williams. James M.(adison) (Fat) b. 14 Feb 1852 - d. 23 Oct 1931 Williams, Ernest O. b. 7 Jul 1889 - d. 11 Apr 1991 This is the way it is in the book! Hope that it helps! Bill" Keith, That James M(adison) Williams is really James MATTHEW Williams, and his wife, Kitty, is Jemima Catherine Williams. "Matthew" as my Daddy calls him, was my gggrandfather. Daddy was born in 1926, and he remembers going as a small boy to Blanket for Matthew's funeral. Matthew and Kitty also had the following children: Annie Pearl b. 14 Jan 1882, d. 11 Oct 1979, my great grandmother; Ollie, b. 1883; Frank, b. 1884; Clifford, b. 1885; Emmett, b. 1886; Ernest b. abt 1888, d. 11 Apr 1991 in Blanket; Mamie, abt 1892, buried in Brownwood; Richard b. abt 1896, bd. in Brownwood; Bryan, b. abt 1897, bd. in Abernathy, TX; Beulah, b. abt 1901; and Grady b. abt 1902, bd. in Brownwood. Daddy is not sure of the order of these children. Ig you str really hung up on Madison as a middle name, maybe we can dicker some!!! As I see it, it was something not on the tombstone but added by an editor. If we are talking about the same fella, I'd surely appreciate your documentation for his parents and anything else you have. I can send you a GEDCOM of all my Sides in Tejas. .
