Laurie, I am also researching my Jasper families long distance (McLemore's/Morgan's). I found the Jasper Historical Commission to be VERY HELPFUL. JASPER COUNTY HISTORICAL COMMISSION 138 East Houston Jasper TX 75951 (409) 384-6441 (409) 384-8090 I sent them a query with a SASE and a small donation, and got a whole packet of information on my family back.

I hope to start to look at the obituaries to find Joseph B.s Mothers obituary, ca 1920-25. Also who the local furnal parlor might have been at the time. Is there a local library that might have back issues of this paper. I hope to make a trip over to that area to do some research. Laurie Wood Brandt
