NO offense to anyone I hope I think I found John R Henry in Robertson Co Tx in 1910 by himself age 39 b LA father born Alabama mother born Ga He is listed as Manager of a farm in District 117 th Princt Stamped page 278 SD 6 Debra Let me know if i can be of more help and next time i go to the Library (Probably Tues next week) I will check the list you sent for them in the TX Death indexes I will copy them as well It could cost me no more than maybe 150 for copies and postage so that is ok so you can have hard copies as well I will check the whole list and send you a email they list name date of death county of death and death cert number that you have to send to Austin for Thanks for the year and names will make it easier If you want i can send you the census images listed above via email Dont mind helping a fellow Limestone Co Tx researcher Debra ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Henry" <tex@nso.edu> To: <TXLIMEST-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, March 07, 2005 11:14 AM Subject: Re: [TXLIMEST] William Raiform Hammond > Debra, > The web lists > > Hammond, Eliza Cathron, b. 24 Jun 1850, d. 14 May 1928, Wife of W.R.

Debra, Will have to glean for all the details. Grady is my grandfather. Grandma was born north of Sulphur Springs in the tiny community of Nelta. Lots of history on the families that came to Texas from Indiana in the 1840s. I always wondered how grandpa met grandma. Susie died in 1900 of appendicitis. My dad's first cousin found an old obituary for Susie. I could copy and put on this forum if anyone is interested. And do please send the census pages. Is there a Limestone Co historical society that might like some old picts of some early inhabitants? Most are buried right there in Kosse, TX cemetery. Hope to visit this summer on vacation and take pictures. Have the picts digitized already.
