    1. [TXLLANO] Re: Fickling/ Adams
    2. Urah and Maggie are buried in the Old Pontotoc Cemetery in Pontotoc, TX (Mason County). I have a photo of the graves. Urah's stone says he was born Sept. 10, 1871, d. July 10, 1940. Maggie born Dec. 24, 1882, d. May 31, 1959 (beneath her dates it says "With Christ in Heaven"). Their baby daughter is buried in the same plot: Laura was born Dec. 23, 1909, died March 5, 1910. They are buried next to C.C. Christopher Columbus) Fickling and his wife, Gertrude (nee: Gertrude E. Henderson). They were married May 14, 1905. His first wife may have been Ellen Moore (m. 1871 in Georgia). Still veriftying. I don't have proof that Urah was Christopher's son, but it's most likely given the proximity of the graves. I am descended from Christopher's brother Stephen Fickling who also moved to TX from Marion, GA. Obits for Urah and Maggie may be in the Mason paper -- haven't checked.
