Re the pictures of Bois d'Arc school, I only have copies now & don't think they would scan well. Will make copies to send though if anyone interested. This was a small, one teacher school in a cotton field outside of town. It was on the road to Cleburne. My family were the Pucketts & their neighbors were the Johns, Barrons, Copelands, Armstrongs, Arteburns, Stinsons, DeFees & Irvings (Erwins). Mrs Bessie May Barron was the only teacher there for over 50 years. ----- Original Message ----- From: "cathy shelley" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, February 17, 2001 3:31 PM Subject: Re: Bois d' Arc School > Hi Diane, > You could scan them and send them to Barbara Pike who does our Hill County > Photo page for us and she can put them up there. email addy is > [email protected] > Cathy > > From: "diane ethridge" <[email protected]> > Reply-To: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Subject: Bois d' Arc School > Date: Sat, 17 Feb 2001 15:25:54 -0600 > > I have some old school pictures from the Bois d'Arc Community which was just > north west of Itasca.

Thanks, Cathy! If lived nearby--instead of California--I'd volunteer to survey those cemeteries. Wish I could be of help. Deven

According to a dear lady who lives in the Whitney area, she spoke with Paul Peterson, once publisher of the Lake Whitney Views. He said there were four cemeteries in the area of Towash - a white Towash, a black Towash, and two others. All the bodies were moved, even those that were unidentified, and those have markers so stating. He also stated that they were moved to the "Whitney Cemetery" and that the Whitney library has a list of these graves. Anybody have a copy of that list that we could pay you for? Also, I'm still wondering if there is specific information about exactly where the graves came from. Deven Lewis

Hello everyone, On my relatives obituary it says she was buried in Whitney Cemetery. When I was trying to find it I discovered it was Whitney Towash. There is a listing for this cemetery on the Hill County page. Good luck, Sherri

Hi Diane, You could scan them and send them to Barbara Pike who does our Hill County Photo page for us and she can put them up there. email addy is [email protected] Cathy From: "diane ethridge" <[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: Bois d' Arc School Date: Sat, 17 Feb 2001 15:25:54 -0600 I have some old school pictures from the Bois d'Arc Community which was just north west of Itasca.

Yes the Towash cemetery was in Hill County just accross the border from Bosque. The only cemetery moved from Bosque to Hill was Walling Bend Cemetery, From: "diane ethridge" <[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: Re: RE Towash Cemetery Date: Sat, 17 Feb 2001 15:21:33 -0600 According to what I have, the old Towash Cemetery was in Hill Co, near the county line of Bosque."

I have some old school pictures from the Bois d'Arc Community which was just north west of Itasca. I donated the originals to the Itasca Museum. These would have been from about 1920s. Does anyone on the list have ancestors who went to this school? Diane Ethridge

The Whitney Cemetery is broken up into groups. Each section is each Cemetery that was moved. Degraffenried was the largest and takes up one side of the cemetery. The other side is Towash, Walling Bend (from Bosque County), Captain Wilson, Shuler's Place 6 and 7. The black Towash was moved to another area on a dirt road about a mile behind Whitney Cemetery. It is fenced and well kept. I haven't surved this cemetery as of yet, but it is on my list. I have the same list that Whitney Library and everyone else has, but it isn't correct. Not all bodies were moved to Whitney and the dates on it are wrong also. The lsit of people buried in Whitney Cemetery is on our web page listed at the bottom of this email.
