Celebrations are no longer held there - I was saying that I knew that in 1948 celebrations were still held there. I know nothing about what is going on today at Rehobath. My family homesteaded in Hunt Co in the 1860's and until my generation lived in and around Wolfe City. My grandfather - Roamey Williams - was a prolific writer. I have hundreds of letters he wrote starting in 1924 until he died in 1963. In these letters he details daily life in the area and mentions hundreds of local names. When the conversation here started about Rehobeth, I checked his writings to see if had anything to say. Here is what I found: April 30, 1943 - "I will be busy Sunday PM taking a piano to Rehobath." Note: It seems he loaned Rehobath a piano now and then when they needed one for a service. March 22, 1944 - "I sold a nice monument recently to be installed at Rehobath for Mother Gillespie. I have no pianos to loan them there this year." April 25, 1948 - "Next Sunday is Memorial Day at Rehobath and the next at Mt Carmel, we are especially interested in the one at Mt Carmel. Will Turner is not expected to live, he is one of the trustees (for Mt Carmel) and Mr Bush and others want me to take his place in the organization at the cemetery." That's all I have about Rehobath. Mt Carmel has a trust that keeps it maintained. It is beautiful and very well cared for to this day. Also, for anyone interested... Mt Carmel still has a memorial service every Mother's Day.

I am so glad celebrations are held there. Would love to hear what you know about that little community as there must have been a grand sense of community there.

Someone had gone in and tipped over tombstones and the place was in dire need of clearup and cutting. I vaguely remember that someone mentioned that a plan was in place to clean it up - sure hope so. Also I have heard somewhere that the cemetery itself could be described as being in Fannin County. I do know that it is very close to the county line between Wolfe City and Ladonia. You have to go down a dirt road to get to it so somewhere it might fall across the county line - no matter - as usually it is described as being in Hunt County. -----Original Message----- From: Debra LaMel > To: txhunt@rootsweb.com<mailto:txhunt@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wed, 13 Jun 2007 12:06 am Subject: Re: [TXHUNT] Reply Request - Marriage records Jayne orry I had never heard of Rehobeth in Hunt and looked in up in the Texas andbook on line Thanks to Shirley for correcting me or you had been looking in Panola co for hem To err is human! ebra -----Original Message----- rom: txhunt-bounces@rootsweb.com<mailto:txhunt-bounces@rootsweb.com> [mailto:txhunt-bounces@rootsweb.com] On ehalf Of Jayne Weichert ent: Tuesday, June 12, 2007 5:49 PM o: txhunt@rootsweb.com<mailto:txhunt@rootsweb.com> ubject: [TXHUNT] Reply Request - Marriage records Thanks . !

In that year John Wesley iggs and his wife Mary Ann deeded land for a Methodist church, a new chool, and a cemetery. In the mid-1930s Rehobeth had a school, a store, a hurch, a cemetery, and a number of houses. In the 1940s the school was onsolidated with the Carthage school, but in the mid-1960s a church, a emetery, and a few scattered dwellings still remained in the area. The riginal church burned in 1978 and was replaced by a new building. In the arly 1990s a church and a cemetery still marked the site of the community. o population estimates were available.
