Carol, Sounds like you have a very interesting job. I'm glad you have this job as I know you will be a great steward of the books. You are so nice to offer your help once again just as you have in the past. Billie Brem, someone on our list, found this listing for my greatgrandmother, Sarah Jane Bolton Askins. In the Fall & Puckett book compiled by Mr. John Usry was the following: ASKINS, S. J., Mrs. 76 years of age. Funeral ordered by G. W. Carter. Date of death Mar 4, 1901, Hemorage of lungs. Interred at Mart, Texas, March 5, 1901. cost of funeral $37.00, recorded in Book 19 page # 5208. Her date of death was 1901 and you said your information is 1913-1930. But I thought possibly you might have something earlier. I am looking for the cemetery she is buried at. My husband and I walked the City of Mart Cemetery and didn't find her. Of course it was 40 degrees and misting with a cold wind, so we didn't do a very thorough job.
