Greetings Friends, I am new here and would like to see if I could get a little info from ya'll... I am looking for information on my Great Grandfather. I have a bit that I've gathered from my family, but am still looking for more (on my Great Grandmother, actually). John A. Blackwood was (as far as we know) not born in Texas. He might have been born in Arkansas. His DOB is Apr 12, 1895. Guessing based on what I know, he married between 1913 and 1935ish to Clara born about 1891. I don't know for sure, but her maiden name might be Moore. John had a brother, Joe who was a fireman in Stephenville. John and Clara had several children one of which is Clara Bell Blackwood (my paternal grandmother). John was a Mason and Clara belonged to the Order of Stars (I think that is what it was called, I might be wrong). John died in Nov 1969. Both are buried in Erath Garden of Memories Cemetery just west of Stephenville. I have been told John was a member of the Assembly of God then converted and attended a Methodist church on McCart in Stephenville. John was a barber and had a shop at 129 N Virginia St just east of the square (a block from Jake and Dorthey's Cafe). Clara Bell went on to marry Bruce Anderson (a serviceman stationed nearby during the Korean conflict). Speaking of which, can anybody help me on the name of that station? I've checked every site I can and none have reference to a base anywhere near Stephenville. As you can see, I do have a lot of info. But there are still hole. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
