Jackie - Yes, I have access to the 1900 and 1910 census through ancestry.com, however, I am not going to do your research for you. The 1880 lookup was a courtesy. Robert Lynn Taylor

Col. Langner is alive and well. I was just at his 1880 farm house in June and he is recovering very nicely from knee surgery. Rudene is looking and feeling great as well. Both of them wanted to take a trip with Cindy to the suspension bridge that's being made into a monument as the super highway bypasses it from Bonham to Sherman. I think they had set aside a day in the next week for he and Rudene to take their grandkids. No, the Col is in great shape and in especially great spirits. He is a neat person and lots of fun to be around. The job you had doesn't sound very exciting but very rewarding instead. Did you get many cemeteries cleaned out. What approach did you take and who did you get to do the work? I agree that the timing of the clean up is important. We were in the cemeter (Greenwood) the first week in June when it wasn't hot, and we got fairly far back and down the hill on the west side, but many of the stones appear to have been burned when the fire swept thru it in the 30's. There are many downed stones over on the west side and several Confederacy markers. That alone makes me more than anxious to get something done. It's time we make an issue of the veterans that are buried there. If we don't do it now, those that want to destroy anything with the confederate history will eventually do so. It's as much a part of history as WWII. Anyway, I'm ready to get started doing some of these and, if necessary, let's get a bunch of us in the North Texas area and active on this web site to find a way to get together with our own picks, shovels, etc. and start a cleanup group of our own. We could pick out a cemetery once a month and meet and go about it. Just a thought. Let's see what the others say.

Check the Fannin cemetery info in my pages on Coontown Cemetery I can add the same thing for any cemetery showing the work being done on it etc. I think Col. Langer died in this last year. I think I put his obit in my collection to add sometime. He had cancer when I met him a few years ago and is/or will be buried there. It was in better shape then as he and earlier his wife worked on it often. Until the first of July I was the Texas Tombstone Project Manager. The horrible part are the dozens of reports I got each day about such cemeteries. I found there are some 50'000 cemeteries supposed to be in Texas according to the historical commission guesses. We average about 250 of them in the Eastern half of the state counties. With 256 Texas counties. Some 70 % are not kept by anyone. In Fannin County of those I have on the list ( I have another list of some that are not proven or found in records yet.) there are 241 that I have something on , another 23 on my find or prove list)in Fannin Co. In Grayson Co. I have 145 found and recorded for Grayson and another 25 not found or records yet. The amounts are astounding. It takes descendants to do anything because there is no way for the state or even historical groups to handle the numbers of cemeteries in bad shape. I want to help if I can if anyone is doing anything with a cemetery . Let me know the web can help publicize the facts and show what is being done. The prisoners do get to go out and work on things but they are being used by towns alot to clear brush from creeks etc. The warden decides what gets done and some groups are turned down due to time etc. You also have to get a crew to feed them and provide what they need. They use a some of their own tools though. I've had the pleasure of watching them work on a cemetery , they do a good job but refuse to allow a tractor in. They get a little over zealous with it. Also you will have a good laugh when you realize you are in the woods with about 20 prisoners all armed with machetes and chain saws with two guards with a gun! :) (they don't send dangerous ones on the loose though) It is miserable work because of the poison ivy and snakes. They try to do that work later in the year because of that and the heat. I've helped in the past work on them but am not up to the clean up stage but I can help with the repair knowledge. I've attended workshops with the state historical commission and have info that might help on what to do with them. You will find the damaged stones on your mind all your days. There are some cemeteries where I have had to just leave all the parts I've tried to piece like a puzzle and found I had parts of twenty stones, each only a few letters of the names or dates. If you run on them don't worry they aren't from some weird cult or something , just a rescue effort! Greenwood at least is fenced fairly well. There was only one large (huge) stone down which had moved under its own weight down the hill and lodged against a tree that is the only thing holding it up. There is no way to get a tractor to that stone so jacks and maybe a come-a-long to a large tree might work. It was overgrown, bindweed and poision ivy very thick but in good shape otherwise. I dont' think it would take too much work to get it back into shape. Mostly raking/cutting /mowing. The stones are in pretty good shape. It would need to be done in winter or late fall at least. I was sent out there by the state to check the historical marker there. It was fine but needs the black background repainted. Susan tabearc@msn.com wrote: > > Susan: > > I totally agree with Pat.

We could very well be related. My great grandfather, James Virgil Thomas moved to Fannin County from Gibson County, Tennessee. He was married to Sarah Frances Cassell from Gibson County, Tennessee. He and his brothers arrived in Fannin County in about 1850. He is truly one of my brick walls. It looks as if the parents died on the way to Texas. I hope to hear from you.
