George Curtis Kimbrell DOB Sept 4, 1891 DOD Nov 23, 1960, and Audrey Maxine Collins Kimbrell DOB Jun 3, 1901 DOD Jul 22 1987are buried in the Eastland City Cemetery. You should be able to get a death certificate from the County Clerk in Eastland that would have more information. There is a short reference to Audrey in the Eastland County History, she was a cousin to Stephen S. Brawner or his wife Laura L. Webb (it does not specify.) Hope this helps.

I checked the Eastland County History Book, (pub. 1986) and the listing of 53 Cemeteries of Eastland County and did not find these names. The closest I find is a George L. Russell, born Apr 12, 1877 died Sept 8, 1949 buried in the Eastland City Cemetery. The plot owner is "Reaves". hope this helps.

Dear List Members, I know this list will effect only a few of you, but thought I would let you know of it beginning. The Buffalo-Hunters Mailing list was approved yesterday and now is ready to subscribe to. If you have ancestors who were Buffalo Hunters and or are interested in their history, this list will be the place to learn about the Buffalo Hunters of the Old West. I had two great uncles who were hired by the U.S. Government as Buffalo Hunters. Living in 2002 I know what they did caused starvation to a group of people, waste and the near annihilation of a species. Of this I am not proud, but what they did is a part of the history of this country and I am proud of them for doing what they thought was right at that time. To join, send only the word SUBSCRIBE to BUFFALO-HUNTERS-L-REQUEST@ROOTSWEB.COM I look forward to the Buffalo-Hunters Mailing List becoming another tool for each of us to understand the world out ancestors lived in. Kathleen Burnett List Mom

Starting today (Monday, 6/10) and extending over several days, RootsWeb is going to be moving the list servers and other machines. No messages sent are expected to be lost, but the lists will be down for a while when it happens; during this time, please don't post "why am I not getting mail"....you will get your mail when the system comes back up, and you don't want half of it to be everyone on the list asking why aren't they getting mail. If you have trouble reaching other RW servers this week, it's probably for the same reason; try again in an hour or two or three..... Kathleen Burnett List Mom

Ann: If the Gorman paper or Eastland paper can't be found with Thomson obit you can try the Fort Worth Star Telegram library. At that time the Star Telegram did a pretty good job of carrying area obits.--Joe Bob

The online transcription for Gorman Cemetery lists the following: THOMSON, Hattie L. - 1882 Blk F THOMSON, Herbert B. - 1892 - 1946 Blk F I'd very much like to find an exact death date for Herbert THOMSON and an obituary for him. Does anyone know how to contact Gorman Cemetery and what newspaper would have carried an obituary for a resident of Gorman? Thanks, Ann -- Ann Avery Hunter Richmond, Virginia mailto:annh@erols.com

Dear List Members, This Roll Call is over. I want to thank each of your for making it the success it was. I know that Roll Calls cause lots of extra mail, and the way you handled this one is appreciated by myself and your fellow members of this list. If you missed the Roll Call, you are still welcome to post your information and your queries, but PLEASE do not place Roll Call in the subject line. I would also appreciate it if each of you would be careful in the next few days and watch your Subject lines to make sure that we are not passing on the words Roll Call. Again I thank you for your support. It is because of each of you that our list is a great place to share information about our ancestors and the areas they came from, migrated to and settled in.
