The problem I have is: The death occurred in 1924, but death was not registered with state. Have checked everywhere I can think of at Sims Library, and the county clerks office at Wax. Nothing... Orr Hardware in Ferris, Texas handled the funeral and person is buried in Crisp. But, would like to find a death cert. They usually contain additional information. Somewhere, there is perhaps someone who knows something about the Orr Hardware/Funeral Home records. Maybe,,,,, Thanks Suzy

I think this is a website for geneology; this problem of the flag will be worked out someplace else. BUT, the flag, "good bad or indifferent" is a part of every southerners heritage and should remain so. We all have our own heritage and they are all important. The flag represents our history and our heritage and DOES NOT represent many of the things we all argue over. Now, back to roots and geneology. Does anyone have any ideas to offer as to where one could find a death certificate when there is not one with the state of Texas nor the county. And the funeral home, or in this case, the Hardware store, no longer exists and has not for 30 or 40 years. Thank you. Suzy

I too would like to know which flag is the Southern Cross. I have enjoyed the discussion about the flag. It was the proper place for it, as far as I'm concerned. What if the skin head and such groups used, the American flag, or the original 13 colonies flag, instead of the confederate one, would they be wanting all those flags torn down? The flag is a part of our history, they should leave it alone.

Sylvia and Mona, The "2nd Naval Jack," i.e., the second flag from the left in the second row of flags at the URL Sylvia gave below, is the flag that I associate with the Confederacy. I'm not sure whether or not it is the one that so offends those who want all flags, memorials, etc., removed, trampled and destroyed. I repeat that I am happy that I did not have to choose between loyalty to my country and loyalty to my state, nor did I have to decide whether to defend my family, home and property. That having been repeated, I am unwilling to begin the "slippery slide" which inevitably results from the desire to accommodate to every demand. Tom NB: My apologies to those who feel this discussion should not have taken place in this forum.

In response to your comment as to whether the Sons of Confederate veterans would allow a black person to join them if they could prove they had a Confederate ancester the answer is a resounding yes. The only requirement is that you be male, over 16, and have documentary proof of descent which we will help you with if you donot have the resources. We have a number of black members nationwide in addition to Hispanic and American Indians, especially here in Oklahoma. E.C. McDuffie

Have you looked in newspapers for cities involved for an obituary? I had a relative that I had a hard time "proving" and his obituary in the Waxahachie paper for 1908, for the day after death, gave more facts than I had been able to find in a search of every other possible source. The library in Waxahachie has old newspapers in their archives in basement. Maybe you have someone who would do a look-up for you. The obiturary gave the names of his children and some other survivors--also where he died (in home of a half-brother) and all that was news to me. Id you have date of death from cemetery this should give you a good clue of time frame to look in. Joyce Park Riggs

Mona, Please forgive my ignorance for I am not really a Civil War buff. What is the "Southern Cross?" The CSA flag that I see and recognize is the one that I have always called the "Stars and Bars," i.e., the flag with a solid field upon which is superimposed an "X" containing one star for each of the Confederate states. This is the one which is joined by five others at "Six Flags Over Texas." Incidentally, should that theme park also do away with the flags of [1] Spain, because of its horrible treatment of the [then] Indian population of New Spain, [2] France, whose Louisiana and Texas plantation owners owned slaves and [3] Mexico, whose Santa Anna murdered the defenders of the Alamo? I think not. Tom Mona Herrin wrote: > > > My ancestors fought for the Confederacy too.

"Southern Cross" has become a synonym for the Confederate Battle Flag in some areas for some reasons recently. I have seen it several times lately, but don't know where the term originated. I still think that the Confederate flag that flew over the Capitol of the South is more appropriate. I also believe that if we are asked to remove the symbols of our past, that turnabout is fair play-the Civil Right monuments and such. We need to search our hearts as to our motives in this, tho. Do we truly mean to offend no one? Would the Sons of Confederate Veterans permit a black person to become a member if he could prove that his ancestor fought for the South? I know of a few who could prove such was the case. I believe in truth and I believe that we have to search our hearts for the truth. I know that my ancestors fought to protect their home and family and that they fought to protect States Rights-not slavery. I too am a verteran and I feel strongly about the Stars and Stripes-I served in the USAF in the70s as a medic and I was raised in the south. I lived in Ill. for several years. I had the opportunity to stay home and watch some TV and I was appalled that there were people who really believed that we still had plantations and slaves. I was also appalled that my daughter was being taught that the War Between the States was about Slavery! I think that we need to see that history is taught correctly and that the issues are discussed freely and truthfully. I was even more appalled that some people believed that I was uneducated and ignorant because I was raised in the South! I don't want to be paintd with the same brush that the Neo-Nazis, the militia groups, and the KKK are. I don't want to give them the opportunity to use this for their gain! The bombing here in Birmingham of an abortion clinic set the Right to Life group back to square one, we can't let our tempers govern us in this and set the South back to square one. And George Wallace lied when he said that he did not raise the Battle Flag over the capitol in defiance. I was there and I also was at Maxwell AFB, Montgomery, Al. when Trammell was a Federal prisoner there. We discussed this as well as other issues. This was back in 1973. Are we being defiant in our wish to keep that flag flying? We can be proud of our history and still be considerate of others.

But I know for a fact that they did not own slaves, did not believe in slavery, nor did they believe in secession, but they fought anyway, and died as a result of protecting their homes. The War divided families and friends. Why do we have to have ot fly the "Southern Cross"? If we are not doing it to offend people, why can't we just fly the Confederate Flag? The Confederate Flag honors those who died for her, more so than the "Soutern Cross". Even Robert E. Lee did not believe in slavery, nor secession, but believed it was his duty to stand up for his state-I believe that he saw his duty to defend States Rights. We still, every one of us, Black or White, hate to be told by the Federal Gov't what to do. We have given the Federal Gov't the right to tell us what to do in order to recieve Federal money and grants, yet we hate it. So why offend a people that believe the same as those of us who call ourselves White, who are indeed our blood brothers and sisters? Why not fly the Confederate Flag to honor those who lived and died to preserve that Confederacy? Giving in on this issue does not lessen us as a people-it joins us in brotherhood to all southerners. It is time to stop fighting and to work together to preserve our heritage, to take the sting out of being a southerner. God will bless our efforts to be one, but nothing can come of division between Black and White. It is not God's will that we do things to hurt others-just look at the Jewish laws in the Bible-He wanted us to respect each of his creations. And if we are truly believers in Christ, we cannot continue to offend those of His creation who call themselves "People of Color". This is not God's way, nor is it the way of Christ. The message is to love one another as Christ loved all of us, our neighbor as ourself. And I truly believe that those who follow this teaching will be blest by it. I am sorry if I offend those who want to hold on to the "Southern Cross", but I WILL NOT be alligned with the Nazi, the KKK, nor any of their off shoots. If we believe that Human Life is sacred, we cannot. Mona ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

I agree with you Tom, and had I been a man, would have made the same decision. >From the research that I have done, my southern ancestors were just poor dirt farmers, trying to survive in a hard country and defend their homes. They had no slaves, and they just defened their family and property. I am against slavery of any kind, white/black/hispanic/indian/women/children. And although it still exists for alot of women and children, don't you think that we need to start there? Let's move forward and learn from our past. This is part of our heritage/history.

Although I have spent all my life, except for most of twenty two years of military service, in Texas, I would have some difficulty in fighting in the Army of the Confederacy. I like to think I would be one of those who would have remained loyal to the United States of America. Admittedly, this is a matter of "Monday Morning Quarterbacking" and I probably would have worn a gray uniform if I had been alive back then. That having been said, I am deeply offended by the attempts to denigrate every concept, i.e., flags, songs, memories, etc., that is associated in any way with the losing side of what some very perceptive people still refer to as the "War of Northern Aggression!" Attempts to equate the "Stars and Bars" with the Nazi swastika are obscene to say the least! If this trend continues and all, or most Confederate symbols are removed, what will be the next target? Will each emerging minority demand that its oppressive symbol, i.e., "Fort 'What Ever' " for the Native Americans, the Alamo and the San Jacinto Monument for Hispanics and even the various monumentsat Pearl Harbor for the Japanese?

TXELLIS LIST: As a person born in Texas and who spent his formative years there, I heartily endorse Tom Mote's message. While I feel unqualified to understand all of the political stresses of the war, I had about a dozen relatives including my g grandfather, Benjamin J. B. Dyess, injured when 17 years old and Lt. Charles Bonham Scott, my gg grandfather, killed in a train wreck at Cleveland, TN on 11/4/1862. I will never agree to anything that does away with memorials or plaques dedicated to these men who accepted their duty as they saw it. Clyde Deavers Lady Lake, FL
