One of my nieces had a son to die at the age of 7 back in the mid 1970s. His favorite toy car was placed in front of his marker at the funeral. We were at the cemetery last week, and the rusty, decaying car is still there. I am surprised it is still there, but I look for it everytime I am there, Lanes Chapel Cemetery. Steve had had major problems since birth, and about 6 surgeries but he always had a smile. He walked for the first time without his crutches before infection took over his body less than 6 months later. He came in my pharmacy in Avery, just to show me he could now walk. The front door was opened and he came running to me and into my arms. It was so great at the moment. I still would not take for that moment. I have a picture of little Steve all dressed up in a 3 piece suite, with his smile and his crutches. His grandmother is my sister, Loretta Giddens Kilmer. Stevie's grandfather Ernest Kilmer told me years ago that he never saw little Stevie cry. His greatgrand father Bacum (spell, known as Blackie) Kilmer was buried there in the 1950s.

Marilyn, I remember the Albion Cemetery because it is strangely located, although maybe not so when first developed. Anybody looking for it has to drive from Highway 37, downhill, and through the woods. I remember, too, the little shed over the grave. An article I read in the Texas historical quarterly had pictures of sheds over graves, sea shells around others, but none of those pictures was from Red River County.

Phyllis, I'm sure I mentioned the Kennedys' burial in the story I did, since there are not that many such early dates even in old cemeteries. I have two volumes of Neville's works, and I will look up the story. Thanks.

My husband grew up in the Tuggle Springs/Manchester area in Red River Co. He went to school a few years in Manchester. We had a White Family Reunion there in June at the community center. I had no idea where it was but we found it and had a lot of relatives on his White side of family come and later in the day, the Shelby family, who'd been having a reunion at Negley community center came over. Then a lot of people were just acquaintances that you feel like belong to family. Mrs. Ruth Woods Harmening was there as well as her son, his wife, and their daughter. She taught me in school in the Dimple community school. Do you remember her? Marilyn Detroit

That's too bad that the newspaper made you stop writing about old cemeteries. I saved some of those articles you wrote about the old cemeteries. You wrote about the Albion cemetery down almost to Red River on Hwy. 37 north of Clarksville. My parents and grandparents are buried there as well as some other family members. You wrote about the little shed like covering over a grave and gave an explanation of what it was. Seems like it was a Native American thing. Do you remember that? It was newly replaced then but sure doesn't look like it now. I also loved the article on the Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Hugo. It encouraged us to go over and visit it. I took pictures of the circus people's monuments and some of the cowboys. There are some impressive monuments over there. Marilyn Detroit

Jim, here is a biographical sketch that I sbmitted to the Lamar County website. Phyllis Hiram T. Kennedy and Sarah Jane DeWeese Kennedy Submitted by _Phyllis Carpenter_ (http://gen.1starnet.com/[email protected]) Hiram T. Kennedy was born in 1811 in Kentucky. His parents are unknown. The earliest record of him is an Indenture document filed in the county court of Adair County, KY in 1821 in which Hiram was indentured to a John Allen as an apprentice to learn the mastery of farming and to learn to read, write and common arithmetic. He was to be an apprentice until he attained the age of 21. It is believed that Hiram had a brother, Ruben, who was indentured to a Robert Anderson. He married Sarah Jane DeWeese, of Cumberland County, KY about 1833. Sarah was born December 2, 1813 in Cumberland County to Jesse DeWeese and Mary "Polly" Sowder DeWeese. Hiram and Sarah had nine children: Lucinda Elizabeth, Jim Newton, Person Miller, William, Benjamin, Sarah, Mary Ellen, Cassandra and George. Lucinda and Jim Newton were born in Cumberland County, KY, Hiram paid taxes on 50 acres o land there in 1837. Before the 1840 census, they had made the move to Butler County, KY where they stayed a few years near Sarah’ brothers. There they were listed with three children in the 1840 census. About 1850, Hiram and Sarah traveled by ox wagon to Harrison County, Texas. There the younger children were born. Hiram was appointed Justice of the Peace in Harrison County. He had to post a $500 bond for the job of Justice of the Peace. In his application he swore that he had never fought a duel with firearms. The bond was dated August 24, 1848. He applied and received a homestead in Harrison County soon after they arrived from KY. He was legible to claim the land in 1854. The claim stated that he received 320 acres as a new settler in Texas. There they must have been a busy family: Hiram working as a Justice of the Peace, clearing land, farming and building a place to live. At night, the early children told of being about the fire the Bible, Christian virtues and morals taught as well as the "Three R’s". Hiram became a Christian preacher. He never had a church but was a circuit-rider, preaching and teaching along the way. Among the prized possessions of Sarah DeWeese Kennedy was a DeWeese Family New Testament, written in German that was over 200 years old and passed down from Sarah to her daughter, Mary Ellen. It was there in Harrison County, that Lucinda married Madison (Matt) Sheppard at the home of her parents on November 30, 1853. The wedding was performed by her father, Rev. Hiram Kennedy. About 1855, Hiram and Sarah moved to Lamar County and settled northeast of the present town of Cunningham on new unsettled land for the purpose of homesteading pre-empted land, then filing as a bona fide residents on this land improving it as they could. This was not as big a task as before as they had adult children to help them. Hiram also continued to preach. From "Backward Glances", A.W. Neville, editor of the Paris News, wrote on February 28, 1935: "Hiram Kennedy, Preacher and Soldier" (Here are excerpts from article) One of the early day settlers in Lamar County was Hiram Kennedy, who had a headright in the southeast part of the county. Only one of his children is yet living, but some of their descendants are still in Lamar County and from them, Sam Cunningham, who has a faculty for getting information of the old times, has learned something of Mr. Kennedy and here it is. He says: "I want to tell the people about a man that I appreciate though I never knew him. His name was Hiram Kennedy. He took up 160 acres of land in the southeast corner of Lamar County, which is registered as the Hiram Kennedy Headright Survey. He did not care for a big tract as it seems to us now, though he could have taken much more at the price of land in those days. If he had cared he might have taken up enough to have made his children rich, but evidently, did not think that necessary. I am told that he took his hatchet and cut a path to a high place near a deep hole of water, where he built his modest log home. Of course the family had to have water within reach and perhaps he did not know that a well could be dug, but his animals had to have water and could go to the pool for it without having to have it drawn for them. Mr. Kennedy was a preacher in the Christian Church. He was past the age for war services when the conflict came, but he enlisted and preached to his comrades on Sunday and made a good soldier on week days. I have been living in this community 34 years and have never heard a word said against any of his children or their descendants. None of them were rich in black land or stock, but they were wealthy in principle. I am telling this story of this family to show the younger generation the influence that can be exerted by one man living an upright life. If he had been a man of different character, consider the difference there might have been in the lives of his sons and daughters." From Backward Glances: June 11, 1935 "Horse Carried Father and Son in War" A.W. Neville When voters go to the polls in Cunningham, down in the southeast corner of Lamar County, the larger number of them are said to be descendants of the Reverend Hiram Kennedy, a pioneer, who with his family came to Texas about eighty years ago from Kentucky. Leaving their home in the state that grows fast horses, pretty women and blue grass, Mr. Kennedy and his wife and children traveled in ox wagons to the new country. ...Mr. Kennedy settled on a tract near Brushy Creek and Sulphur River. Here he built a shack and began clearing land and farming, increasing his farm acreage each year as the frost was felled. Deer, turkeys and other small game were abundant so there was plenty of food and the family fared well as did others in those early days. Then the war between the sections began. After a while, the father of the family decided it was his duty to go with his neighbors into the army that fought for a principle and mounting his horse, a little brown pony called Choc, he rode away, trusting his family to carry on the work of making a home while he was gone.* "I have no record of Mr. Kennedy’s service" says P.B. Bailey, who tells me this story, "But, I am sure that a man with the character and determination of Mr. Kennedy met every call made on him for service, no matter how difficult." In 1864, young Ben Kennedy, who had reached his eighteenth year, decided he too would take part in the war and joined his father on the battle front. The father’s enlistment having expired. he returned to his family and turning his horse over to his son, he came back to Texas and resumed his work. Ben Kennedy rode the horse to the end of the war and when the roar of the cannon and the rattle of muskets ceased he turned his face to home still riding the faithful little horse. He reached Brushy Creek at night. There had been heavy rains and the water was wide and deep. Fearing the horse could not make it, Ben tied him to a sapling elm and slipping into the water swam the creek and was reunited with his parents and brothers and sisters. The next day, when the water had subsided he brought his horse across. That was seventy years ago. Hiram has long since gone to his reward. Ben married but no family came to bless his life. Hiram Kennedy’s children are all dead except for Mary Ellen Lofton, who lives in Coleman County. The old log house Hiram built still stands, though altered some and gives shelter to its occupants and the elm sapling to which Ben tied his horse has grown into a veritable monarch of the forest. And that sort of people made Texas a state carved from the wilderness. Hiram Kennedy died September 8, 1878. Sarah Jane DeWeese Kennedy died June 26, 1881. Both are buried in Halesboro Cemetery in Red River County, Texas. * Roxie Thomass, a Kennedy descendent wrote, " When the Civil War started in 1861, Hiram and Sarah lost one son, William, who was serving in the "Lamar Rifles" under the command of Captain Sam Bell Maxey. Later, as the War continued and rather than risk another son, Hiram enlisted into Col. DeMorse’s 29th Calvary in Pattonville, Texas, July 18, 1862, at the age of 51. Credits: Most of the material in this biographical sketch was researched and written by Cassie Watson Cook, granddaughter of Cassandra Kennedy Bell and great granddaughter of Hiram and Sarah DeWeese Kennedy.

Yes, I agree, I really enjoy the cemetery stories. My late husband has Sunday School Teacher on his tombstone. He always said he wanted it on there because that was the thing he did that meant the most to him. Rosalie/New Boston/Bowie County

Cemeteries can tell you such a wealth of information sometimes other that just names and dates. It can be like a history book.

Phyllis, I can't help but check places and names that are common to my line. My GGG GF Richard F Giddens (born 1798) was the 1st of 9 (maybe one more) and the 8th of the siblings was Hiram Giddens born in Ky in 1813. RFG came to RR county in 1833 but Hiram Giddens settled in Delta Co around Ben Franklin. The name Hiram followed down the line to Jr etc. Hiram and other of his relatives are buried in the old Simmons (spell) Cemetery just east of Ben Franklin in Delta Co. Other Giddens are buried in the Ben Franklin Cemetery and 2 at Pecan Gap Cemetery. I even found a fairly recent Marion Giddens at Ben Franklin Cemetery which is my middle name and is in the name of my uncle, grandfather and his uncle. All this makes me wonder if a female descent of Hiram Giddens may have married a Kennedy family at some point. RFG with had father and family moved to Floyd Co. Ky ca 1810. A few years later the area they were in became Pike Co. Ben Franklin is not all that far from the Cunningham area. My folk left Ky around 1820 and went top ILL for about 12 years before coming to Red River Co. My Hiram was born 2 years after your Hiram, both in Ky. Do you know what County?

Jeanne, I have distant relations in my Phillip's lines that married into the Coker and Caudle families. Maude "Maudie" Ellen Garmon married William Leonard "Billy Coker" in 1910. Maudie was my father's second cousin. Billy & Maudie had six children. Billy died in 1964 and Maudie re-married my father's half-brother in 1968. Maudie died in 1972 and is buried next to Billy in the Cuthand Cemetery. I have digital pictures of Billy and Maudie's head stones and additional information if you are interested. My grandmother's brother, William Wyett Phillips, married Mary Ethel Holyfield in Franklin County in 1915. Mary was the daughter of William Marion and Cynthia Latitia Caudle-Holyfield. I had several artifacts from Cynthia, including a bible with her name "Cynthia Caudle" inscribed on it. The Bible had several family births and deaths listed. In addition, there were several very old pictures (mid to late 1800's) with the artifacts. Most of the people in the pictures were unnamed, but there was a confederate soldier and a baby in the same time period. I passed these on several years ago to a distant relative that was closer related to this line, but took digital pictures of everything. If you have any interest in this line, I would be happy to e-mail the pictures and any additional information I have. It may take several e-mails, as there are 40 pictures.

Hi Bob, My 3rd great grandparents, Hiram and Sarah DeWeese Kennedy are buried in the Halesboro Cemetery. Hiram was born in 1811 and Sarah born in 1813 - both in Kentucky. Hiram was a farmer and circuit-riding preacher. They came to Lamar County in 1855 and settled northeast of the present town of Cunningham. A.W. Neville wrote about them in "Backward Glances" on February 28, 1935. The article was entitled, "Hiram Kennedy, Preacher and Soldier". Phyllis Carpenter, Colorado

Jeanne, I was born not too far from Manchester, out in the woods at Blanton Creek. Then we moved to the big city of Bagwell when I was about 5 years old. <grin> Highway 82 went through there in those days and I thought I was really going to town when we'd catch the Trailways bus for a bit of shopping in Clarksville and then a movie at the Avalon before catching the late bus back home.
