Surnames: Anderson, Benthall, Duff, Dunsmore, McCauley, Rhodes Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/mkB.2ACI/334.1.2.1 Message Board Post: Hello again, A few years ago I sent you some information on William and Rosetta Anderson. There were a few pictures and letters from Elsie Wilson that was sent to my grandmother, Ada Reeder Vaughan. I have pictures of the Benthall headstones that are in Schulenburg. That is also where William and Rosetta build their house and it has a Historical marker in front of it. Below is the obit that I have on Rosetta and it came from Carolyn Parnell Stanley who is the g-g-granddaughter of Virginia Elizabeth Anderson Dunsmore. Several relatives that were kids of William and Rosetta's had a nice visit at Carolyn's parent's house and exchanged information. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ANDERSON --- Mrs. Rosetta Anderson died at her home near Naruna, Burnet county, Texas Nov 27th 1893. Sister Anderson nee Benthall, was born June 15, 1818, married W. B. Anderson Nov 5th, 1835. She with her husband settled in Farmigton (sic) Miss. where he engaged in the mercantile business after residing there four years they moved to Galveston, Texas where they lived one year. From there they moved to Smithfield and in 1841 they moved to Colorado county. In 1847 they moved to Shulenburg (sic) Fayette county; Shulenburg was then known as Lions. From Shulenburg they moved ot Flatonia in 1867, where they resided until the fall of 1892 then they moved to Naruna Burnet county, Texas. Sister Anderson was the mother of eleven children all of whom lived to be grown, eight sons and three daughters. She also raised an adopted son, a nephew, Rolins Stewart. Sister Anderson was a member of the Primitive Baptist Church in 1849, at the time of her death she had a letter of dismis! sion from the Salem Church in Gonzales county. Her aged husband who is an invalid still ingars upon this side of the tomb. It must be sad indeed to lose a bosom companion with whom one has been associated for a period of fifty-eight years. May God comfort this aged father and husband in these saddest hours of his life. Surrounded by weeping children, grandchildren, and a host of sympathizing friends, she was laid to rest in the Naruna cemetery Nov 29th, there to quietly rest awaiting the resurrection morn. The funeral was conducted by the writer. J. F. Elder * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * I had sent Ed Anderson a picture of Wiliam and Rosetta's headstones and he has posted a picture of the house in Schulenburg. If you are interested Ed has also posted family pictures of his Andersons. There is also the McCauley picture. I would have to look again, but I think between the few pictures I have and that Ed, Phil, Ruby and Carolyn have we might have pictures of all their kids. http://www.webshots.com/search?new=1&source=mdocsheader&words=edwin+anderson I have not found out any more information on the Benthal line, but hope to start looking before long. Hope this helps, Cheryl

Grace, this is a long shot. I've been looking for a Caroline Hearst Brueckner, for the past 25 years and had never seen the name mentioned before. Would you by chance have any record of her? I have no idea when or where she was born, just have the name. Thanks for your time. My grandmother, by the way, was Bettie Breeding, born in Fayette Co. Maydelle Meier Albuquerque, NM

Hello, List! I have a copy from microfilm of a passenger list for the SS Frankfort showing a John POKLUDA, 26, iron founder, Moravian, Austria, last residence a town that looks like "Boshska." This record further states his passage was paid by an "uncle" and that he is going to Holman, TX to visit an uncle, John POKLUDA. The port is Galveston, TX and the date is September 26, 1904. Does anyone recognize this young John POKLUDA? Or the uncle John POKLUDA? Possibly Uncle John is the John POKLUDA who married Frantiska/Frances VASI CEK. Frances was first married to a NAISER. John POKLUDA and Frances, along with John's stepchildren, are found in the 1900 Fayette Co. census. Any help appreciated. Sue Ann Hayley

This year's Spring Cleanup at Pin Oak Cemetery will be on Saturday, April 16, 2005. Last October's cleanup was one of the best ever gatherings when the Cemetery Historical Marker and Marker for the Unknown was dedicated by Judge Ed JANECKA. I personally met a lot of new "cousins," some with whom I had already corresponded via email, and others who were totally new revelations to me. We had a great time showing people around the cemetery and showing our new cousins where their own ancestors were buried. Please try to come and join in the fun and camaraderie, if possible. And please bring one of your favorite covered dishes to share for a Potluck Lunch which follows the cleanup and precedes the business meeting. Here is the link for the website which lists those who are buried in this historic cemetery: http://www.rootsweb.com/~txfayett/pin_oak_cemetery.htm Lana Sawey LeCROY Researching surnames: SAWEY, TURNER, MUDD, HAGAN, WINFIELD, TUCKER, HAYDEN, DRURY, McCORD (Paternal); LANGSTON, HALE, BROWN, MILLIGAN, ARCHER, CABANISS, CRISWELL, FITZGERALD, McCOMIC, McCLURE (Maternal); LeCROY, STRIBLING, MARTIN, FULLER, BLANKINSHIP, TARTT, (Husband's Paternal/Maternal).
