For the past five summers Montgomery County Heritage Museum off I-45 North in Conroe has provided entertaining diversions for children ages 9-12. Entitled "Pioneer Days," the program is one in which the youth receive first person experiences that reveal the hard-ships, toil and leisure activities of early settlers, peculiar not only to Texans, but to most newcomers that carved this nation into being. "Pioneer Days" activities include churning butter and dipping candles, vital work for early settlers. In the hard labor area, the youthful students wash clothes by hand on rub boards and cut logs using a two-person pull saw, an endeavor that requires close simultaneous effort. They learn games like ball and jax and how to walk on stilts. Demonstrations of weaving and Indian dancing further enhance the experiences, topped off by a simulated archeology dig where the young explorers actually find some "artifacts." "Pioneer Days" run three weeks in July, with a choice of morning or afternoon sessions at the Heritage Museum, which the child attends for a week. Each class is limited to 20 children with four adults to supervise. A $25 fee is required to cover materials, and financial aid may be forthcoming in some situations. Dates of the ses-sions are July 10-14, July 17-21 and July 24-28. Registration began Friday and classes are expected to reach enrollment limits right away. For more information call the museum at (936) 539-6873. "Pioneer Days" and many other Heritage Museum activities are partially funded by a grant from the Conroe Commsion Arts and Culture. The Heritage Museum accepts unique collections for its displays. These are borrowed from local citizen are exhibited in locked, secure cases for three in Collections vary according to a wide range of interests need not be historic nature. Exhibitions currently include antique toys, from around the world, space mission memorabili and original Texas documents. To share your collection, call the number above.

Since this board is very slow right now, I thought a good topic of discussion would be cause of death. I am almost through with the 1850-1880 mortality schedules and some of the causes of death are just really unbelievable and some of them I just don't know or have forgotten. Here are just a few examples, so if anyone has a comment let us know at TXMONT GO-L@rootsweb.com inflamation of the bowels, dropsy, conjestive chills, Flux, consumpson. etc....... As soon as this is finished I'll work on the 1850 census(again). It is slow scanning that and having to edit alot of it so it is slow going. sorry....

My father's family roots all come from Washington Co., Marietta, OH which is right on the the Ohio River. I was going through some death indexes and found it so sad to see an entry of an infant listed as "drowned-found in Ohio River". The social stigma was so terrible on a girl who had a baby out of wedlock that it drove some of them to sacrifice the infant's life - rather than face the shame and humiliation. What a terrific change in our social outlook now! Joan RELPPEK@aol.com wrote: > > Since this board is very slow right now, I thought a good topic of discussion > would be cause of death.

Alexander THOMPSON b. ca 1797 in GA; died before Dec. 10, 1839 in Montgomery Co. TX. Marr. #1 Asena ARNOLD 20 May 1829 Austin's Colony, Mex, #2 Martha BOYACAN on Oct 15, 1839 Montgomery Co. Rep. of TX.. I have found information on Alexander Thompson who was an officer in the Mexican Navy in the 1820's. In September 1828, he was commissioned by the Mexican Navy to make a map of Galveston Bay and its tributaries, which he did. The article from CARTOGRAPHIC SOURCES IN THE ROSENBERG LIBRARY, tells of his map making and that he had some sort of agreement with the Mexican Govt. to be in charge of a Customs House that was planned for Galveston. The plan fell thru for the Customs House supposedly due to the Rev. in Mexico. The above book says that he was from the south, gives a nice amount fo info on his mapping project, but says that nothing is known of him after January 1829. At which point he had left the Mexican Navy. He is also listed as a Leiutenant in the TX Navy - which would have been after his service in the Mexican Navy. However, if he was who I think he was, (my ggg gf I hope) he would have been in what is now Montgomery Co., giving his oath to Mexico and applying for his Mexican Land grant. so wouldn't be showing up in the maritime activities after that. Odds and ends: I have one document that says he lived in Vara Cruz. There were two other Thompsons who were active in the Mexican Navy in those days. Henry L. Thompson - and there is a man by this name listed in the 1837 Tax List for Washington Co., and later in Bexar Co., and a Thomas M. (Mexico) Thompson. Need to KNOW: Was Alexander THOMPSON of the Mexican Navy the same person as the Alexander THOMPSON who married Asena and Martha? Was he related to the Henry L. THOMPSON was also in the Mexican Navy and listed in the Wash. Co. Tax List?? Thanks for any help on this one. Joanne

Here are the families I'm working on: MADELEY SAPP SWEET CHILDRES WALDING DEAN Thanks, Darlene kalbdl@worldnet.att.net

My ancestors were here for Texas Independence, San Jacinto. Joseph Henson was my soldier. Later, but before statehood, my Lauderdale family moved here. The HENSON's and LAUDERDALE's both lived in Montgomery Co. The Henson's moved to Leon Co. then Jack Co. The Lauderdale's moved to Limestone Co. and some moved to Jack Co.

Jane, do you have any O'BANION or O'NEAL names in the Magnolia cemetery book? Thanks.

Hi I need parents/siblings for my ggg gf ALEXANDER THOMPSON who was in Montgomery Co. from the early 1820's until he died in Dec 1839. He was born ca 1797 in GA, and according to some accounts was in TX in 1820. He married ASENA ARNOLD in May 1829 in Austin's Colony. They had one son, my gg gf HENDRICK THOMPSON in 1829/30. Asena died before October of 1839, because in that month, ALEX married MARTHA BOYACAN. Then HE died before Dec 10, 1839 - but left Martha expecting their son, RICHARD THOMPSON b. in April 1840. Questions: Was my ALEXANDER THOMPSON, the same ALEXANDER THOMPSON who was the officer in the Mexican Navy and who mapped Galveston Bay for the Mexican government in 1828?? Was he related to HENRY L. THOMPSON who was also an officer in the Mexican Navy, and who was also on the Washingtonm Co. Tax List for 1837. Who were his parents and siblings?? What happened to Martha and Richard?? Help Help!!
