I really appreciate all the help you've given me. I don't know if my Great Grandparents James Roney Fenimore and wife Mary Amanda Fransis Leroy Fenimore "Fannie" lived there or if they were just passing through. They also had a daughter Nellie May or Mae Fenimore that was born in Parris, Tx 08/18 or 08/28/1893. Then they must have moved on to Oklahoma where they had some of there other children most in Shawnee but one possibly on the way between Norman and Shawnee: James Otto Fenimore 12/23/1895 or 12/24/1896. Then in Shawnee: Nettie Novella Fenimore "Dude" 10/22/1898, Thomas Franklin Fenimore 12/24/1899 and the others that I'm not sure of where they were born possibly some in OK or some in NM or between, even possibly Ark. as I know they traveled from Mena, Ark. to Alalmogordo,NM in a covered wagon 39 days in 1920-1921. Next is I believe Dora ? Fenimore "Tink" 04/25/1904, then I believe Dell ? Fenimore 1909, then I believe Virginia ? Fe! nimore year unknown but I believe between 1909 and 1913 because my Grandma Bessie Ellen Fenimore Ogle Cassity was the youngest born 03/18/1913. James and Fannie were married in Maxey, TX on 11/23/1889-90. James was born in Joplin,MO as were his parents Thomas ? Fenimore @1837 and ? ? Humble @1841. But was said that he was raised by 2 uncles in Ark. names unknown other than pictures with possibly Milt(on). "Fannie" Mary was born in Evergreen ,LA from death record or TN from Jesus Christ Latter day Saint record. Her parents were both born in TN: Francis or Frank(lin) Levi Leroy @1845 and Harriet Ellen Temperance Steel @ 1849 but they both died when she was around age 3 her mother first then her father who was a well educated Architect and Builder of French descent. She was said to have been raised by a black Nannie, where ?? She also had a brother named Sam(uel) ? Leroy info unknown. I have some old photos of unknown relatives, as well as some of James, Mary and the childre! n. But they places they were taken are not the places I show they were except a few. I'm not sure of any other Surnames going back. It's such a wonderful feeling to know about past generations. Thanks Again for the help so far and to come. Let me know if the Stone can be fixed or not and if I can do anything to help if so. Were you able to make out any of the saying at the bottom? Some I can read but the rest I can't. It's a cherished find I know my Grandma would've loved to see it before she past away.Most of the family is buried in Alamogordo,NM where alot of them stayed living, and there kids are spread out. I will share it with my family. THANK YOU!!
