Hi, can't place this one. I remember Homer Stephen who published book FRONTIER POSTMASTERS and philosophy columns in Stephenville newspapers which always ended in NUF SED> He furnished headstones for unmarked pioneer graves free. His mom was in her 90's I think she was a CASE . She was rocking and knitting, almost blind, but she kept her handa busy and rocked. Was the one you named his brother or first cousin?

Hi, I have also been down for almost a week. If you ever run Juno and CWIX (MCI) intyernet you have 2 problems. Cwix doesn't warn you, but Juno help does, that Juno and CWIX will not run on the same computer until you supplement 2 lines of code. Also, I found out you cannot remove all CWIX connections without loosing windows 95. It's like pulling big weeds out of a tomato patch- the roots will sometimes get a tomato plant along with the weed. I plan to load the Netzero internet from another system and run it. It is free and my son says it is faster and cleaner than some he has run. I sent info on Keith, Head, Gristy, and connected families I knew. Did you get it?

Hi, Will send this to Mattie Nell Carr- she and my double first cousin Grace Wyly Tarpley run a greenhouse together at Lipan, Texas. Theh grew up in church and school together. her dad, i think, was Luther Carr of Selden, Texas, and I think he is one of the Carrs buried in Selden (Hatchett) cemetery. I knew C.E. Carr, & others. Some Carrs were connected to the Webb family and George Wyly married Effie Webb. She lived Friona, Texas & moved with son to Virginia, where she lived past 100. Give me time. I had 41 notes on here today - computer was down a week. Guess you know a Mr. Porter of Stephenville developped the famous Porter and Porter improved tomatoes. His family sold out a few years ago after he did with cancer complications. Take care. On Wed, 7 Apr 1999 14:04:35 EDT Arkivemom@aol.com writes: >I need a huge favour.

I need a huge favour. I am presently living in Ireland and need two lookup in the TX death index.

Does anyone have these people in their data? Karen PORTER, Louisa Burton d. Bet. 1896 - 1899 m. HUGHES, Samuel Smith The 1910 Pott Co., OK Census says TX died before 1900's, husband (Sam) remarried in Nov. 1899

Charles Wyly, On the STEPHEN family in Erath County - Did you know James Miller STEPHEN? He was born in 1846 and died in 1920. He is buried in West End Cemetery. He had two daughters and a son. Son was James J. STEPHEN born 1903. Lola

Hi, Nancy, some records may confuse STEPHEN, STEPHENS, AND STEVENS. sTEPHENVILLE WAS NAMED FOR THE STEPHEN FAMILY, NOT THE STEPHENS FAMILY. I am descended from REV. B.T.STEVENS of Shipley (Pine Mountain- Calloway Gardens, Ga. ) He and wife and 2 daughters and son in law, Great Great Grandad Dr. William Pinckney Hatchett are buried in the Selden (Hatchett) cemetery on the Wyly dairy on the Duffau Creek, Erath County, Texas Marilyn Giesike Mills in her Three Way PTA project, 1995, quotes from the Feb. 1970 Texas Parade- article - RETURN TO PANTHER CAVE, a Chalk Mountain cave where CLIFF AND CAVE, STEPHEN TWINS, were born, 1872, in the cave overhang their dad had found in a blinding blizzard. The lead Ox jerked back and kept him from falling over the cliff into the cave. under the cliff they survived the storm He took the ox team downstream on Hill creek and led them under the cliff .. He had a Government freight contract for Freight to Fort Graham and Fort Belknap. His dad, , Madison Stephen joined Stephen F Austin colony in 1829. at San Felipe De Austin. Madison Stephen had 2 brothers- one boutht 2000 acres for $150.00 and one once owned land in downtown Waco area. They settled in Stephenville about 1850. Homer Stephen, local philosopher, trader, an d writer, was the son of one. Cave Stephen visited Panther Cave at age 93 with his family and Emerson Rhodes met them there. The story of the bulldog and Mrs. Stephen's muzzle loader saving the twins from a panther is hair curling & too long for here. . He said once, as a boy, they went to Stephenville to see his first cousin but they weren't home. The cave was the sight of all night dances and festivals on holidays. One man even set up a horse drawn merry go round. Records of this period wpuld be in SanFelepe De Austin, Cameron, Waco, and later, Meridian and Stephenville or in the Austin Texas State library. . GAIL STEPHENS LIVED ACROSS THE PASTURE FROM THE HISTORIC TOM ARENDELLcabin and grave. He and his wife M.E. Johnson lived near my dad all his life. He was a Primitive Baptist lay minister. I attended school with several of their sons. Willie Gail , the oldest , had worked i Fort Worth and I used to see him at State VICA and ICT teacher's summer State workshops- he from Stephenville High and I from West and Midway High Schools. STEPHENVILLE, SOMETIMES MISSPELLED AS sTEPHENSVILLE, WAS NOT NAMED FOR A sTEPHENS FAMILY, BUT one or more of the Spanish Colonists with Stephen Austin named STEPHEN, NOT STEPHENS. PRESTON was a respected name is Selden and Indian Creek. As a kid I knew them when they looked 50 or more to me. Their neighbors in Erath County were Ogan, Fleming, & Moxley (My ancestors) who came from Missouri in coverred wagons to escape the punishment the Yankee carpetbaggers tried to hand out. To my knowledge they did not come via Mexico as some from Chalk Mountain and Pony Creek who had ridden with Quantrill or Jesse James or the Youngers. Selden Baptist Centenial book and church minutes has some on Prestons- Indian Creek was a forerunner of Pleasand Hill Methodist and Selden Baptist, as was the Crockett School.Mrs. Ruby Eades Kay, past 90, could tell you a lot if she feels up to it. She was church clerk and cemetery association treasurer for 2 or 3 generations. Tell me which name you want more info on.

It is my understanding that my great-grandmother, Nancy Jane Roberts Thompson (Mrs. William Holloway Thompson), died at X-Ray sometime in 1909. If there is someone who has a book of cemetery listings, I'd appreciate a lookup. Nancy Harwood Houston, TX

Hello List... I want to thank Charles Wyly, Kathy in Stephenville and Phyllis in Virginia Beach, VA. for responding to my Rocky Point query. Charles provided directions to the area. Phyllis has a book of Cemeteries - and did not find a Rocky Point Cemetery - but I, also, had her look at Allard Cemetery - but did not find my Silas & Lucretia Jackson listed there. Process of elimination helps also. Kathy provided me with a web site for the Rocky Point Church and I have sent an email to them asking if there is an old cemetery there. So, I'm on the right trail. This list is just great!!!! Thanx to all!! Shirley Gig Harbor, WA
