Roscoe..."Fatty" Arbuckle....i have a book that tells multiple stories about him. Not all that innocent. If you would like references...let me know.
Fatty Arbuckle was a well known comedic actor whose career was highjacked by a politically ambitious San Francisco district attorney. He was tried in the death of an "actress" who likely died of a botched abortion performed some days before she allegedly attended a party given by Arbuckle. She apparently collapsed in the hotel where the party was held and died shortly there after. Arbuckle was arrested and charged with rape and manslaughter. It took the jury about 5 minutes to find him not guilty and the foreman of the jury apologized to him. Still, he had been "tried and convicted" in the newspapers and was considered box office poison by producers. There are several books that expose this tragedy. If related to him, you should not consider him a "black sheep." He was widely considered the equal and perhaps better then the likes of Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Laurel and Hardy and Harold Lloyd. Stan
That was Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle & I'm sure we're related somewhere back in time but I hope it's not too close!

Death certificates weren't required until 1903 and that wasn't enforced until about 1907. You might be able to find a church death record or obituary.

Looking for info on a Wm Arbuckle (1854-1897) shown as buried in an old Flatonia Cemetery. I have found a Wm E. Arbuckle in Bastrop Co but that seems to be a different person. Mine is from Mercer Co, MO & left home due to a family squabble, never to be heard from again. He had a brother, Oscar Edward, & I found where an O. E. Arbuckle was listed as a barber in Elgin. I have found Ed in later census in MO & IL but am trying to find out if these 2 fellows are the brother to my gr grandmother. Any Arbuckle info in that area would be appreciated. Are death certificates available for that time period? Thank you very much, Diane Ethridge Conroe, TX
It's been brought to my attention that the Texas Czech Genealogical Society is gathering Czech family stories to be published in 2005 in a hardbacked, indexed book. You don't have to be a member of their organization to submit an article, but there is a fee if you are not. You can find more information at http://www.txczgs.org/bookguides.html Rox Ann Johnson

I should add that the "we" in the message regarding the Fayette Archives was copied from the information on the web page. I don't want to give you the impression that I work or volunteer in the archives, although I'm envious of those who do. In fact, although I grew up in La Grange and visit frequently, I actually live in Austin. Rox Ann

A drawing and some of this info is online at http://www.rootsweb.com/~fayett/fayarch.html, but it doesn't hurt to remind everyone. The library does have a temporary location at 255 N. Franklin Street (the Senior Citizens Activity Center building) until the renovation is completed! Only a portion of the collection will be available. We will have cemetery records and maps, marriage indexes, census indexes, one microfilm reader/printer and all our film, all local history books, school record books; historical marker binder and downtown La Grange building history binders. We will continue to do quick lookups using those sources. Everything else will be in off-site security storage until January 2005 when they hope to reopen. The renovation came from a combination of public and private funds. FIRST FLOOR of the Fayette Public Library & Fayette Heritage Museum and Archives currently contains 5,966 square feet. The new wing will add 2,328 feet. Renovation will include a redesigned vestibule with north entry, a new handicapped elevator, new library area, new reading areas for children and adults, more vault storage, conference and meeting space, greater computer capacity, office, and fully ADA compliant restrooms. SECOND FLOOR of the building now has 3,700 square feet to be expanded by 3,885 more feet with the new wing and infilling a second floor deck across the current open area. Located here will be an archive reading room and vault, museum collections storage and exhibit display areas, as well as additional restrooms. The renovated library, museum and archives will encompass a total of 15,879 square feet, compared with the existing 9,666. A Capital Campaign Committee has been formed to raise funds for the expansion and renovation project. Your contribution would be greatly appreciated. Contact the library at (979) 968-3765, or send your donation to: Fayette Public Library, Heritage Museum and Archives 855 South Jefferson, La Grange, Texas 78945. Please make your checks payable to LMA Capital Campaign. I encourage all of you who have benefited from research there to make a small contribution. We are really going to have a lot more room for research with this the new addition. Rox Ann Johnson Fayette County TXGenWeb Project
