    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/AkB.2ACE/321.1 Message Board Post: Don, Don't know if this will be of any help, but I went throught my Jasper resources and found the following: SOURCE: Census, 1920, Jasper County Texas, Precinct 2, #251-273 Hightower, Charley, male, 35 years old, born England, parents born England, occupation-locomotive engineer Hightower, Mary, female, wife, 29 years old, born TX, parents born TX Rogers, Nicholas, male, 14 years old, step-son, born TX, parents born TX Wills, Euns, female, 8 years old, step-daughter, born TX, parents born TX, (this is your Eunice) Wills, Elma E. male, 4 years old, step-son, born TX, parents born TX, (this is Elmer Earl Wills) Hightower, Dorothy M., female, daughter, 0/12 years old, born TX, father born England, mother born TX. SOURCE: Jasper County Texas Marriages, 1849-1949, by Versie Truitt C. Hightower married Mary E. Wills, 3 Dec 1918 Eulia L. Wills married Mary Rogers, 30 Dec 1910 Elmer Earl Wills married Margaret Geneva Smith, 7 Sep 1943 SOURCE: Jasper County Texas Cemeteries, by Mildred Wright page 105 Bean Cemetery, Kirbyville Mary Ellen Hightower 1890 - 1973 (note: per SSDI, born 9 Apr 1890, died 28 Mar 1973; this is wife of Charley above, she is listed in the Texas Death Records, as dying in Jasper and being a Widow, so Charley must have died before her.) page 321 Morse Cemetery, Buna Eulie L. Wills - 5 Nov 1940 - TX 1Sgt 157th Dept. BRFG (note: no other date, this is father of Eunice; he and Mary Ellen must have divorced; this is only date listed, must be death date) Elmer Earl Wills, b. 29 Feb 1916, died 4 Feb 1985, is listed in Texas Death Records, dying in Jefferson County. In SSDI, his last residence listed as Kirbyville. SOURCE: Texas Birth Records 1926-1949 Eunice Jewell Wills and Carojll Albert Price parents of: Raymond Nicholas Price - b. 19 July 1932, Jasper County. (note: don't know if this is your Eunice) It appears that Eunice's mother must have been married once before she married Eulie L. Wills, because Nicholas Rogers is listed as her son in the 1920 census born abt. 1906 and they married in 1910, and when she married Eulie she is listed as a Rogers and as a Wills when she married the 3rd time to Charley Hightower in 1918. Don't know her maiden name. Hope this has been of some help to you. Good luck, Yolanda
