Melody, I have noticed in the research that I am involved in and in my communications with others, that it is far better and leads to fewer misunderstandings, if I make effort to state my intentions upfront. Since you are well aware of the grave dangers in Israel and the terrorist threats around the world, and that you were sending an e-mail into a country which, due to direct attack, is at war with terrorism, you should have included an explanation of your need for such information. The one you provided below would have added a sense of security to your need and/or desire to know the information. Remember, you sent an e-mail into a country in which terrorists were trained to fly planes. This training was given in innocence and trust. Then, the training was used to fly planes into the World Trade Center were thousands of innocent people were killed. Others would have been killed had it not been for the quick thinking and herorism of the citizens aboard the other aircraft. In innocence, we should not give out information that might further jeapordize our security anymore than someone in Israel would do. It appears to me that, instead of "attacking" the person who replied to your request, you would apologize, in the interest of misunderstandings, and state your purpose for need of the information. I am sorry that you live in a world of insecurity, uncertainty and death. We did not create this situation. We are a kind, generous, slow to anger people. Our people have sacrificed throughout the years to bring peace and stability in the world. Look at the thousands of white crosses in cemeteries around the world where our love ones are buried. Your marital situation is of no concern to me, nor is your place of residence, except in light of the fact that you chose it. Had I responded to your first e-mail in regards to the information you requested and the way in which you worded your request, I would have simply asked, "Why do you want to know?" That's a freedom we enjoy in America. ..questioning. I would like to think that researchers around the world will extend the courtesy of making explanation for their need of research in any country. Especially, for research that involves sharing information that might relate to sensitive areas. By the way, my grandson is serving in Iraq today! Have a WONDERFUL day! And, MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am writing a book about my cousins, Jake, Celia, and Pauline AMSEL, who lived in Durant, Oklahoma but are buried in YOUR Corsicana Hebrew Cemetery. Test me: go to the Corsicana Hebrew Cemetery and you find their graves. It is in connection with my book that I asked for a list of train depots. My cousin Pauline Amsel, murdered in Durant, OK, was buried in Corsicana,TX in 1914. I wanted to know if and how her body was transferred to the Hebrew Cemetery there. No ulterior motives!

Then you should not been offended by me asking why you wanted that information as you live in it every day as we have been doing since 9-11. None of us can be to careful. I'm sorry but I can't give any other information other than the depot in Corsicana was shut down several years ago and there are no passenger trains stopping in Corsicana any longer.

Melody, The rail-line from Corsicana to Durant in 1914 would have generally paralleled modern US75-- there are numerous RR maps online from the 1910 period which would give many of the stations. The Library of Congress has a nice Texas Railroad map circa 1900 online (as well as other railroad maps): http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/gmdhtml/rrhtml/rrhome.html Justin M.

Melody... In writing your book, I do not see the need to know the train depot's between any two locations ie. Druant OK to Corsicana, TX. So, therefore I, too, would not furnish anyone... and I mean anyone... that information. Wouldn't it surfice to say that the possible means of transport was by rail, auto, or even wagon? After you know the names of all the depot's you still don't know which way the bodies were transported and why the need to know each depot that a possible train transporting a body would go through? The best way to narrow down the information on the means of transport would be through the funeral home records in OK. Also, I find obituary announcements really helpful. You might try that in newspapers in Durant, OK as well as the Corsicana, TX papers. If you don't have access to obtaining microfilm there, each Library usually has a list of researchers that charge a nominal fee to look at those old records for you. My hesitation in giving out depot locations would not be because of your name, location, etc. There are folks in the US that do not need that information. Good luck in your research.

Hello all - I am new to this list, but not to genealogy. I am a greatgreat granddaughter of Griffin Mizell that settled in Chatfield, Navarro Co. in 1875. I also noticed that there was a Mizell family in Navarro Co. in the 1850 census - can anyone tell me about this family? Dot Dotsipe@aol.com

Looking for information on William Richard Blakely who married Ida Elizabeth Talbot. Haven't been able to locate them on the 1910 census...information I have shows their marriage in Dec. of 1899 in Navarro County. Found him on the 1900 but not 1910 census.

During 1900 was there any other kind of record of households such as an agriculture census etc.? Looking for James Cornelius Talbot and family. His wife was Amanda...had children Minnie, Donia, Lofton, Lawrence and Bathsheba still possibly at home. Any help would be appreciated. I haven't been able to find him on the 1900 or 1910 census. Could be through errors in spelling of the name but I have searched for a while with no luck. Thank you Faye Heffington

Thanks for the info. I will be on the lookout for the Martin names you mentioned as I continue researching the Navarro link. I'm very intrigued as to why G.D. Martin moved to Purdon at age 70 in 1913. He filed for a Civil War pension in 1914, after having evidently lost his farm in Cherokee County. Why does an indigent elderly couple move to Purdon? I'm hoping that it's because other Martin relatives were living there. George and Viola had a 17 year old daughter named Mary or "Ola" [born 1892-93] living with them as of 1910. Perhaps she got married and moved to Navarro County. There were also sons named Loyd and Porter [born 1876 and 1878 respectively]. There were other children but I do not know their names. Also I have not yet located George in the cemetery records. He moved to Navarro County when he was 70 years old and I expect he probably died there -- though he could have gone on somewhere else. If he were found in the 1920 census for Navarro, he'd be around 74-77 years old, so it is conceivable that he might have lived until then. I really need to send a request to the County Clerk for a death record lookup for George and Viola... --Patrick

Hello, The names that are listed at the Hamilton-Beeman Cemetery are my relatives and my ancestors. If anyone is related to those names please email me. I would be glad to share all my data with you. My Martin family begins in North Carolina with William M. Martin b. 1826 NC, both parents born in NC. In 1849 he married Mary Elizabeth Young b. 1825 NC, both parents born NC. They married in Rockingham Co NC, and are in the 1850 census there. As of 1854 they were in Henderson Co TN where they stayed until 1878 when they moved to Navarro Co TX. James Nathaniel Martin b. 1837 NC was probably a younger brother to William M. Martin, and this James N. Martin also is found in Henderson Co TN, and as of 1880 census is also at Navarro Co TX. My ancestor William Martin probably died in Henderson Co TN sometime between 1869 and 1878. Or perhaps died on the wagon trail to TX? I believe his children are: 1. George Wesley Martin b.1850 NC 2. Caroline Martin b. 1854 TN 3. Basley Martin b. 1865 TN 4. Joseph Allen Martin b. 1867 TN (my ancestor) 5. Margaret Martin b. 1869 TN 6. Edward Martin b. 1850 NC (I am not sure about him?) My ancestor Joe Allen Martin married Nancy Elizabeth Doolen of Navarro Co Tx, d/o William Doolen, one of the earliest settlers of Navarro Co TX. They moved to Montague Co TX, probably near Sunset, TX. Their children were: May W. Martin b. 1892TX Dan L. Martin b. 1893 TX Jessy Martin b. 1894 TX Joe Alfred Martin b. 1899 TX (my ancestor) Jim D. Martin b. 1904 TX Roy B. Martin b. 1905 TX The second wife of Joe Allen Martin was Nora Johnson, she is buried at Sunset Cemetery, Montague Co TX. Best regards, Lilly Martin d/o Billy Joe Martin, s/o Joe Alfred Martin, s/o Joe Allen Martin, s/o William M.
