Graveside rites will be conducted at 10 a.m. Saturday June 25, in Evergreen Cemetery with Nolan Butler officiating. She was born Jan. 29, 1923, in Howland, a daughter of R.E. and Sallie Boaz Brecheen. She graduated from Paris High School in 1939, then from East Texas State University in 1943 with a degree in Elementary Education. She taught school for 31 years at J.G. Wooten Elementary, Graham Elementary, and Justiss Elementary before retiring in 1983. She was a member of AARP and the Retired Teachers Association, and a member of the Southside Church of Christ in Greenville. She loved working crossword puzzles, playing ?42? with friends, and most of all, being with her great-granddaughter, Madalyn. She married Charles W. Taubert Jr. on April 2, 1946, in Paris. He preceded her in death on July 5, 1994. She is survived by one son, Charles W.

Smith and Elaine James; and a brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Richard and Madeline Taubert. There is a Charles Taubert who lives in Wolfe City, Texas. Go to www.whitepages.com and look him up. Only the address is given. Melanie Metts also lives in Wolfe City, Texas. She has a telephone number. You can find it at whitepages. You asked for those in the area of Paris, Texas. I cannot help you there.

I wrote a book about the Post Oak community along the Lamar and Red River County line and included in the book are about 300 family histories, and among them is the Cardwell family. Please contact me for more info about the book. To help you a little more, I can tell you that Dora Cardwell was born in 1871 to a Mr. Cardwell and the former Mandy Burke. Mandy was a widow by 1880. Dora married a Warrington for a brief time, but the marriage didn't last, and she continued being known by her maiden name. A daughter was born to her in 1897, named Georgia Cardwell. Then in 1902, Dora married Jim McHam and her daughter, Georgia, lived with the McHams and was known by some as Georgia McHam. I have the books if you are interested, which has info on the McHams, the Weir family (Georgia's married name) and many others. I hope I have given you enough info to determine if these Cardwells are related to you. Johnie Lee Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I need the info from two land deeds involving W. R. Thaxton (I believe William Riley Thaxton), one to E. A. Keys (probably his daughter Emma), Book 107:412, and one from J. H. Roy, Book 186:554. Also, I don't have access to probate indexes; I am wondering whether there is probate for W. R. Thaxton, a "well to do farmer" who hanged himself in March 1905, or his wife Sarah, who died after 1903. If anyone can help, just let me know what I can look up for you at the Family History Library.
