Last week, txfannin.org passed a couple of major milestones. Willow Wild Cemetery (9453 burials...up to date through yesterday) now has a photo of EVERY tombstone posted on the site! The cemetery was photographed by Mike Tankersley and photos were linked by Carolyn Lawrence and Lonny Porter. Becky Taylor has researched Leonard Cemetery name by name and has posted death certificate information on each person she could find. That project completed she has moved on to posting hundreds obits supplied by the Leonard Library. The obit project will be ongoing so check back often. Don Rubarts is killing us with kindness. (You are both a blessing and a curse, Don.) Not content with doing "only" Sunnyside for us, Don has photographed, Fairview, Gober, Indian Creek, and Philadelphia cemeteries so we are buried in photos.. (but always wishing for more). Fairview should be posted soon with about 600 burials not previously listed as the earlier inventory was incomplete. We have finally passed the "40,000 interments online" milestone with more still coming. Don't forget, you can create your own "everyname index" of Fannin County cemeteries by using the "Site Search" button or going directly to http://www.txfannin.org/sitesearch.php and searching Interments ONLY and entering the Surname ONLY. (Of course, cemeteries not yet online won't be there yet.) Suzie

Chas. Moore with wife, Willie, are buried at Oakwood, so I'd bet "M. M." is close by... at least we now it's her initials and not her husband's...

In 1900, she was Melissa, wife of Green A. Duke. She was born in Tennessee Dec 1856. In the 1910 census, it did say she had 9 children with 7 living. I didn't find her in the TX death index. Don

I forgot the rest. In 1920 she was widowed and living with Chas. A. Moore and his wife Willie in Honey Grove. I will keep looking for more info. Don

Suzie, on the 1910 cesus for JP8 Fannin County, Mrs. M.M. Duke age 55 was the wife of A.G. Duke. Both were from Tennessee. Don

Have an unmarked grave at Oakwood in Honey Grove. I would like to add her to the cemetery list under her own name and not her husband's name.... can someone help find her for me? I have an undated obit for Mrs. M. M. Duke who died at the home of her son-in-law, Charles Moore, in Honey Grove. She is listed in the interment records for Oakwood Cemetery in Honey Grove as interred 6 Feb 1923. I did NOT find a tombstone for her when I walked and recorded the cemetery. She was a 67 year old native of Tennessee; had formerly lived in the Spring Hill Community having come with her husband to Texas "31 years ago". She was survived by 7 children not named in the obit (who did not buy her a tombstone). No mention is made of when her husband, M. M., passed away or where he might be buried. She is the only DUKE in the (incomplete) interment records for Oakwood. There is not a single marked DUKE burial in the cemetery. Help! Suzie

Suzie, years ago I took a contract law course. Infancy was defined as anyone (not mentally incapacitated) who could not make or sign a contract, without consent of parent or guardian adlitem. I'm so ancient that, at that time, legal age in most states was 21. In today's world it is probably 18. In a genealogy course I took, infancy was LOOSELY defined as someone under age of two or walking age. I seem to recall the course instructor inferring that two was the ascribed age generally used by mortuary personnel. Not sure this information totally resolves issue. Maybe I can find my old early 1990's genealogy course books. Ruth

It's good enough for me. I'm only quoting the tombstone that indicates dates 8 years apart and "died in infancy" . I don't have to justify why it says that, I only type what I see... I was just curious. Suzie On Sun, Aug 15, 2010 at 10:59 AM, Ruth Hasten Walsh <delins1@verizon.net>wrote: > Suzie, years ago I took a contract law course.
