Hello all, I still wish I could find out where my great grandmother is buried (maiden name was Isabella Jane McDowell)! Her first husband was my g.g.grandfather John Warren White who was killed in 1864 in the Civil War. After migrating to Cooke County in 1866 with her new husband, James Henry Calvert, they settled in Gainesville. She died in their home there in 1874 and according to her son from that first marriage, my great grandfather, Rev. Wm. Henry White, she was buried in Mount Hope Cemetery. But there seems to be no trace of it. If anyone comes across it I would be most appreciative.
