Pat, Have you sent a note to Woodmen of the World for any records they might have on your grandfather. Send email to Records@woodmen.com. Woodmen of the World P.O. Box 266000 Highlands Ranch, Colorado 80163-6000 Phone: 303-792-9777 Toll-free: 1-800-777-9777 Their website is www.woodmen.com. Being a native Texan, I had never heard of Harleton and Bivins and checked their locations. Bivins is in Cass County and Harleton in Harrison. Have you checked these counties at TxGenWeb for cemetery listings. There is a cemetery in Downsville but I heard it is very small and abandoned.

I noticed that your ancestor belong to Woodmen of the World, and so did my grgrandfather. Can somebody tell us more about that organization. In my grgrandmother's box of treasures were the receipts that showed her husband and later her son had paid his yearly dues. She had a few poems and letters, and this proof of extended membership. It must have been a significant organization, but I don't know a thing about it. Rosemary Bradford Grant > Member of Woodmen of the World
