I found where somebody put that Jesse Elam is buried in Pleasant Mound Cemetery and has a picture of some sort of marker with his name on it. The marker says "in honor of service in the war of 1812. Is Jesse actually buried here, or could this be a marker in memoriam of. I always heard Jesse and his wife and Isaac and his wife were buried in Elam Cemetery that no longer exists. Can anyone clarify what this is? Thank You Roberta

I am interested in finding out more about Draughon's Business College in Dallas. My mother graduated from high school in 1934 and entered the business college in Dallas in June, 1934. I don't know how long she was actually in school there. I don't know if they had rooms for their students or if she lived elsewhere. Would anyone have any information about that school? Maybe where it was located in Dallas? Thanks for any information. Jackie Morgan --------------------------------- Yahoo! FareChase - Search multiple travel sites in one click.
