Does anyone know where to find a list of the constables who were appointed or elected in Navarro County from 1915 to 1935. I'm particularly interested in the Rice District. Jim Hobbs

Can anyone help me with information about Robert McLeod, having lived in both counties in the late 1800's

FYI- Mrs. Pearl Virginia Pierce Music died on Monday, September 22, 2003. She was born in Malokoff, Henderson CO, TX Feb 15, 1920 to Thomas Henry Pierce and Flossie (?) Pierce. She married Pearl Henry Music Dec 17, 1938 and they made their home in Rice, Navarro CO TX from 1947. Mrs. Music was married to Pearl H. Music and after his death, she married his brother Joe Martin Music. The Music family was from Henderson and Smith CO TX. Her two husbands preceded her in death. Funeral services is to be Thursday September 25 at Corley's Funeral Home in Corsicana TX. Burial in Rice Cemetery, Rice, TX. Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves for they shall never cease to be amused. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----

I visited Spring Hill Cemetary this weekend. Does anyone know if there are records of burials for the graveyard and how can how can I contribute to the maintenance.

Robert Wilson born 1858 in GA, married Mary Lewis in GA, about 1878 and moved into Lamar Co.,Texas with several children. EFFIE WILSON was one, or she was born after arriving. She married a Rutherford, also born (I think) in Paris, Lamar County. Here we have two theories..... I remember that they lived in Corsicana, Navarro county, TX, for a long time. My mother doesn't. She thinks that they either stayed in Paris, or moved into Seminole, OK..... There was one Effie Rutherford in Corsicana who died Christmas Day, 1995, but that isn't this one. Can't imagine that many ladies would have this same name, but I've found lots of Effies......... Since I don't know her husband's given name, I'm still at a loss. Does anyone have any Wilsons or Rutherfords in this area around 1905-1995? I know she was alive in 1973 as I have pictures of her. Not sure after that, though. Any help on these two brick walls would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Carlette

Hi everyone- FYI This is off topic but I think you will find it may protect your property. I live in Corsicana TX and there are plant/flower thieves stealing pot plants off the porches of our homes. I have been hit twice this summer. Wouldn't be so bad but those plants had been special to me as one was planted by my husband who now has terminal cancer and the other was given to me about 25 years ago by my now deceased mother. So no amount of $$$$ could replace them. I called the police twice and made reports. The second report the officer told me this was going on all over Corsicana a week before the TRADE DAYS AT CANTON TX. So if you haven't been hit, keep an eye out for next month. We shouldn't have to bring in plants before then. We have moved ours since we got hit twice. I wanted to just dump all the rest right in the road to show them they wouldn't be getting anymore of mine. But my husband wouldn't let me. :0 I just hope they are caught and punished. To lazy to work. But not to lazy to cause grief for other people. I don't have any use for people like this. I hope none of you are victims. Regards Janice Hancock Corsicana, Navarro CO TX BTW-respond to me off list if you wish. Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves for they shall never cease to be amused. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----

I would like to contact descendants of John & Elizabeth Motley Melton, buried in the Hamilton Cemetery, Corsicana, Texas. Children of John & Elizabeth who lived in Texas were Susie Melton Odom (1889-1980), George Franklin Melton (1893-), Margaret (Bonnie) Melton McKee Barnes Waller(1895-1981), Bessie Beulah Melton Wood (1900-1983), and Johnny Floyd Melton (1903-1960 in Sabina Kansas).

On records sometime I note that someone lived in a district instead of a county. When were counties formed in Texas? Were they called districts before counties? I guess this isn't very important but I am just curious. Anne Walton Wilson

Wilkes A.(or H.) Price from Tenn. was mar.to Mary Neill. Lived in Navarro Co. area. He believed to have died cl880, she is in court action shortly after, concerning estate of her father; Col. James Clinton Neill. Would appreciate info as to their children and her death date.

This is for Bill Overton, Please contact me, I lost your address. Thank you, Elnora Frances Cook-Wyrick

Hello Joe, Here is the URL for Vital Records of any State and County in the US; http://vitalrec.com/ If the above does not work for you and since I have never looked for divorces in Navarro Co, I am CC'ing this to the Navarro Co., TX mailing List. Also I do not live there, maybe someone could go to Court House and do a lookup for you if the County Clerk's Office does not do that.
