I will have to see about that Tom Fitzwater dying in 1957, I don't think he is my ggrandfather, for that would have made him about 93. Lee Omar Fitzwater died in Kingsville, TX in 1942 under the name of Homer Fitzwater and is buried in Corpus Christi, TX. I found the death date for J E Ramsey but not of his wife Bertie Ramsey. In his obit of 1955 he lists surviving family members but his wife was not listed. The other surnames I will check and see how much I know about their marriages and such. Always appreciate help with my family tree, and always willing to provide info to anyone that might be connected. Keep in touch, Dave [:O>

I know this may be a long shot This might be a clue possibly! If in fact this Noah and his wife died shortly after the birth of your Tom (1864) it might explain why he is not listed in any census as Fitzwater perhaps someone was taking care of him and any other siblings who where under age they are up in age in the 1860 census of Texas There is a man named Noah Fitzwaters living in Stephenville PO Eastland Co TX in 1860 Listed was the following Noah age 53 b KY Gracy age 42 b KY Elizabeth age 20 b MO Talbott age 19 b MO Andrew age 17 b MO Mary age 13 b MO Noah age 10 b MO Josephine age 6 b MO 1850 he was in Franklin Co MO Noah Fitzwater age 45 KY Grace age 30 VA Humble 18 MO (Male) Charity 11 MO Talbot 8 MO (Male) Andrew 6 MO James 4 MO Mary 2 MO Noah 11/12 MO 1840 Cabrey Franklin Co MO Noah Fitzwater 1 Male under age 5 1 male age 5 to under 10 1 Male 30 to under 40 1 Female under age 5 1 female 20 to under age 40 A Noah Fitzwater married a Grace Williams 10-8-1835 St Louis MO VOL 01 Page 261 (Ancestry St Louis Marriages 1804-1876) Someone says he was born in Harrison KY and also married a Mary Ann Rogers on 3-11-1829 But they list no children at all for these 2 couples and that Noah died on 6-2-1869 in NW Arkansas but does not list where he died If he did in fact die in 1869 he may be listed on a Mortality Schedule in Ark somewhere They also list Noah's parents as John Fitzwater and Charity Humble who married 7-9-1785 Rockingham Co VA Debra LaMel Found this as well on Roots doing a Fitzwater Search for Texas This is explains the 2 deaths back to back of this couple Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Evans Double funeral services were held Thursday afternoon at the Celeste First Baptist Church for Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Evans of the White Rock community. Rev. Earl Allen, pastor of the Celeste Baptist Church conducted the services and burial was in the Celeste Cemetery with James-Coker-Peters directing. Pallbearers were Hugh Howan, Charles Stone, Weldon Prince, Troy Prince, Roy Stapleton, Ed Morton, R. L. Rouser, Warren Brumley, Gene Moss, Kenneth Prince, Robert Holloway, and Scott Wright. The entire community was shocked when Mr. Evans died from a heart attack about 4:30 PM Friday, November 11, and Mrs. Evans died of a similar attack the following Saturday morning, November 12, 1955. The couple had gone to Ladonia on Veterans’ Day to see the Celeste-Ladonia football game when Mr. Evans became suddenly ill. He saw a doctor in Ladonia and started home, but decided he would stop by the Wolfe City Hospital and see another doctor. The doctor came to the car and had just told Mr. Evans he would probably be all right, but if not, to come back to the hospital, when a fatal attack struck him. Mrs. Evans and a son, Ralph Evans, were in the car with him at the time. On Saturday morning, Mrs. Evans and other members of the family had gone to Greenville and made funeral arrangements for her husband at James-Coker-Peters Funeral Home when she suffered a heart attack. The family had left the funeral home to go to the home in White Rock and Mrs. Evans was stricken when they reached downtown Greenville. Ralph Evans was sitting in the car with his mother when death came, just as he was with his father. The couple was married on December 4, 1911. They were members of the Baptist Church and both were active in church and community affairs. The operated a combination grocery store and service station at White Rock. They are survived by two sons, Ralph Evans, a Celeste merchant, and Eugene Evans, who is serving with the US Armed Forces in Korea and who arrived home Wednesday for the services; three daughters, Mrs. Sherman Wright, Wolfe City, Mrs. W. H. Wright, White Rock, and Mrs. Frank Pursell, Fort Worth; and seventeen grandchildren. Mrs. Evans was a native of Celeste, the former Katie Lou Fitzwater, born on August 5, 1895. Her parents were Tom Fitzwater and Lela Webb Fitzwater. Mr. Evans, a native of Alabama, was born on May 6, 1891, the son of B. L. Evans and Adrey Thompson Evans. When he was a child, his parents brought him to Texas and he had since made his home in Celeste and White Rock. Mr. Evans’ survivors besides his children are two sisters, Mrs. Maud Mock of Corpus Christi and Mrs. Dora Moore of Lamesa; four brothers, Martin Evans of Westville, Oklahoma, Chilton Evans of Refugio, Texas, Fred Evans of Dallas, and J. B. Evans of Winnsboro. Mrs. Evans leaves one brother, George Fitzwater of Corpus Christi; and seven sisters, Mrs. Ethel Quinton, Mrs. Gladys Jackson, and Mrs. Katherine Jones, Dallas; Mrs. Babe Hite and Mrs. Barney Oldfield, Alto Loma; Mrs. Birdie Ramsey, Corpus Christi; and Mrs. Martha Joe Hilger, Greenville.
