Barbara, if no one else responds let me know and I can call my cousin Martha Winkler Weaver wno can give me the number for the person who chairs the Fairview Cemetery Association. I have many relatives buried in the Fairview Cemetery which is situated about 4-5 miles out of Ravenna and I'd guess about the same distance from Savoy. In the 1920 census I found 6 or 7 households of my collateral families, including my grandparents and a g-grandmother living on the road that cuts off the Ravenna to Denison highway and goes to Savoy. The Fairview Cemetery is situated just about 1/4 mile off the Ravenna to Denison highway on the road going towards Savoy.. There is a little controvery about who donated the land for the cemetery. Some members of the Napoleon Hanes family claim their ancestors donated it. I have read records where another family has been recognized has donating the land. Since the Napoleon Hanes married Lau! ra Cook, granddaughrer of A. P. Hall, someday I'll get around to collecting some land records to see why the Napoleon Hanes desc. think their family once owned the land.

My Burton great-grandparents may be buried there, possibly in an unmarked grave. Is anyone aware of a Fairview Cemetery Association? The cemetery d! iagram in the book shows a Fairview Church of Christ across the street from the cemetery. Would they have the cemetery records?I have Gid Lee mentioned in family notes and was wondering if anyone has more information on him. I don't know how he fits into my family.Lee, Gid W. 1 Feb 1892 -- 12 Oct 1959Lee, Lillie M. 14 Sep 1897 -- 2 Apr 1983[married 14 Nov 1920]Thanks in advance,Barbara==== TXFANNIN Mailing List ====Search List Archives by keywordhttp://searches2.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl ------------------------------------------------ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!
