I wish I could help but distance is a problem . I am supposed to have a great grandfather Joseph S. King buried there, I have not seen his name on the index of the cemetery though, I would sure appreciate it if someone would keep an eye out for that name .Pat Hadley

Ever time I turn the tv on and see men running around wacking, kicking and tossing a ball I haven't got a clue as to why! and I can only crochet a long chain stich without understanding the pictures as to how to turn it around and join with the part I did. It makes pretty Christmas ribbon though! Susan JRSudderth@aol.com wrote: > > Susan - > Would you please post a list of what you DON'T know! :>) I remain impressed! > Jerri Eoff Sudderth >

I'm leaving on a trip and can't be there but I love that cemetery. I would love to live on the lane its on. It is what is left of a road that went past the cemetery at one time but the flooding cut the cemetery up. I have not gotten out in the field over the little creek to see if graves are on that side marked or not so I have no reference as to how big it might have been at one time. A road crossed in front of it, bypassed completely by roads, the only road left is the L shaped one that went to the chapel years after the roads were not in use any more. Lots of little footstones and broken bits of stones are in the cemetery when I saw it last. Be sure to bring something to handle snakes with. Copperheads ,and with the creek so close, cottonmouths will be there so you need something handy to remove them if they are too close for comfort. This time of year they are sluggish and more dangerous. Skunks are on the roam right now also. I make up a sprayer of water mixed with orange oil and it makes them abandon the area. There were at least two skunk burrows there. They will leave if that is sprayed around, or stay hidden. Dawn Soap & water in a sprayer , used on an ant hill is a trick I learned from funeral directors and tombstone folks. They spritz the area with it before a funeral , it dries and the soap keeps the ants away for a day or so. That way they can continue the work in the cemetery without bug spray and other troubles for the people at a funeral. When I was webmaster for the Historic Texas Cemeteries website I collected some good ones. The best website I saw for clearing/cleaning/restoring a cemetery is this website. Maybe it will help. http://www.rootsweb.com/~inpcrp/repairtoolbox.html

The Tractor is to mow roadside and to fix the washed out places on the road. Patsy

That was my idea also. Just wanted to let you know about the conern.

You may have heard already the news today. I just returned from an annoucment gathering. The Church of Latter-Day-Saints have put the entire, 1880 US, 1881 Canadian and the 1881 British Census online at www.familysearch.org I know it may get swamped a bit in the next few days so don't dismay if you are having trouble due to the high traffic It is a great tool and you can even move and see the neighbors either side of them and so on. Be sure to choose the whole record. It will give occupations etc. Have fun ! Susan in Texas

I think you are right, I will forward your message on the the Finley's that said they would bring their tractor.

I don't think a tractor can get in there. The graves are pretty close together. Some have already been knocked over and I would hate to have any more damage done.

A project to clean up Porter Cemetery is taking place Saturday, November 9. I have been in contact with several subscribers to Fannin-L, some volunteers have come forward. As I understand it some tractors and other pieces of equipment will be at the cemetery, that's great, and will be very helpful. I have one concern though, and that is damage. I am asking if subscribers can and will share their cleanup experiences with us. If you have maybe you could share your "lessons learned" while working on your project.

David and Mike, There was an Edward Monroe Cates that married a Harriet A. Williams who was born abt. 1874 and died 1948. I think Edward was a second husband. The Williams family lived in Hunt County, Sulphur Springs, Hopkins County and Clyde, Texas. I have no other information on Mr. Cates.
