Is anyone willing to do a small bit of research at the Grand Masonic Lodge in Waco. I have name, birthdate, death date, etc. My ancestor's gravestone has the word Mason inscribed on it and I would like to see if there is more info there. I am told that records return to the Grand Lodge after death. Thanks, Gail Meacham Also, can someone find the telephone number of the Grand Lodge for me. Thanks again!

Carol, thank you for your time in listing these births. Also I am glad to find this web site. I didn't know it existed. It has a lot of good information about McLennan County.

I gave the information to two different sites. The other site can be reached at: http://www.usgw.org/tx/mcclennan/martdeaths/

The site editor made a mistake and put the information on the Limestone County site instead of the McLennan. He has made the corrections and you can now view the information at: http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/mclennan/vitals/deaths/mart.txt Sorry for the problems. Carol Couch

And for everyone's info.. This will give you a list counties from which you can view their vital records also.. http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/ and if you remove the tx/ at the end and hit enter you'll get a listing of states also.. It's neat how ftp sites work.. :-) Jack -----Original Message----- From: Carol Couch [mailto:ccouch@hot1.net] Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2002 11:51 AM To: TXMCLENN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Mart Deaths 1914 I have transcribed the deaths from Mart and the surrounding areas for the year 1914.

Could someone who has access to the 1870 census in Mclennan Co look up for CLOUD family name. Am trying to find the family of Jacob Louis Cloud b. 1865 or 1866 supposedly in Erath, TX. Thanks for any help. Joyce

Carol, that UrL wouldn't take me there. Lena

It wouldn't work for me either. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.311 / Virus Database: 172 - Release Date: 12/27/01

Would like any information on my grandfather E.E.(Edward) Higginbotham. Does anyone know his parents name, where they were from or resided. E.E. was married in McLennan Co. on2Apr1890 to Charlotte Georgia Peak some spelled it Peek, they had 7 children, Shirley, Sarah Frances, Horace Glen, Emma Bell, Cecelia, Stephen Edgar Edward and Ruth. Charlotte Peak's parents were Stephen Tucker Peak and Sarah Peak. Her grandfather was John Peek all from McLennan Co near Waco. Thanks

The following article was in the Waco newspaper in January 1892. Does anyone know anything about the Blake Manufacturing Co where the daughter worked. This R Q Davidson was my great uncle Robert Quincy Davidson. I have a lot of information on all his siblings but very little on R Q. I am interested in finding what happened to his children. Actually, there was an older daughter who was probably married by 1892. A DESERVING CASE Of Charity In Our Midst Which Calls for Liberal Response Officer Clay was informed yesterday morning, that a man by the name of R Q Davidson had died, leaving his family, composed of a wife and three children, in destitute circumstances, and that assistance was necessary. Mr. Clay actuated by the kind-heartedness for which he is noted, at once visited the home of sorrow and distress, and found that the report to him was by no means exaggerated, and immediately set about to relieve the distress of the grief-stricken widow and fatherless children. He procured a coffin from the county and paid the expense of the shipment of the body to Mart for interment, and then set about to procure the immediate necessaries of life for the cheerless and destitute household. One gentleman whose name was not given, procured a stove and conveyed it to the residence upon a wheel-barrow,and others contributed small amounts of cash with which provisions were purchased by Mr. Clay and sent to the humble residence. The deceased has been an invalid for a long time past and the support of the family has devoted upon the wife and eldest daughter - the latter working hard and faithfully at the Blake Manufacturing company for a mere pittance - which together with what the mother has been able to earn by sewing, washing and ironing during the spare moments not devoted to the, almost, constant attention at the bedside of the dying husband and father has sufficed, though meagerly, to keep the wolf from the door. This is a worthy subject of charity and it is hoped those who feel so inclined will turn over to Officer Clay, at the city hall, whatever they may feel inclined to give and it will be properly applied.

Does anyone know which funeral homes were in business in 1892 in WACO and MART? I have a great uncle, Robert Quincy Davidson, who died in 1892 in Waco and because of his poverty was sent to Mart for burial. A policeman acquired a casket for him and arranged for transportation to Mart. This came from a newspaper article (not an obituary) about his family's dire circumstances and a plea for help for the family. Royce Culpepper
