I really goofed when I asked for information from a death certificate for Ethel Mae King Walton. I have no excuse other than I was in a hurry to get the letter finished and my computer unplugged because of stormy weather. She died 12 January 1989. Thanks to those of you who pointed out my error. I still need the information. Anne Walton Wilson anne-wilson@juno.com

I am writing an article for the Heritage of Hill County, Texas Book and need some additional information to complete the James Franklin Walton article. Could someone there please do a look-up for me? From the death certificate of Ethel Mae King Walton I need her parent's names and her place of birth. Ethyl was born 22 September 1886 and died 12 January 1889 in Longview.
