I would like to remind all of you that even transcription records 'may' be incomplete or lacking. Consulting the current cemetery books at the Eastland Centennial Library, you will not find my father listed in the Colony Cemetery. Neither will you find his obit in the records. My understanding is that the obits were compiled from someone using the Cisco paper and a death in Ranger was not printed in the Cisco paper, therefore not available. His name is not listed in the cemetery listing, either. Evidently, his small funeral home marker was not visible to those who surveyed the cemetery and he was missed. I know he needs a 'real' marker, but until my mother decides to have one erected, the kids just have to abide by her wishes. My reason for telling you all this is that sometimes the obit and the grave go 'unnoticed' for differing reasons. Now, for the Wash name...do you have any idea where in Eastland Co. the family resided? That may help pinpoint the cemetery and maybe someone could do a walkthrough. I would be interested in helping in you have more info to go on.
