Bob, Yes the Woodlands Methodist Church is still active. I was there on a Saturday about 3 years ago for directions to the Woodland Cemetery meeting (about 1/2 mile up the road). A very neat, clean, well kept church. The fellowship hall behind the main church building has a cemetery plot map on the wall. I don't remember the details for now. I wonder if Mary Holloway of Detroit would know anything about the Reynolds records. She has a gift/antique/handcraft business on US 82 in downtown Detroit. I forget the exact name of the business, but it is something close to "Songer". She does have e-mail and has been a silent member of this list, but she may have left it because she told me she just did not have time. I stop in a visit her about twice a year, which is not often enough. Maybe I will get a chance to talk to Mary about it soon. Do you think the marker would have any helpful information.

Thanks Sam and Jim: This funeral home handled a funeral for Bessie L. Diseker who died 27 Jan 1944, age 78. Services were at Woodland Methodist Church with burial in Woodland Cemetery under the directions of Reynolds Funeral Home of Detroit. My grandmother Bennie Collier Diseker Bruce died in 1925 and was Buried in Woodland Cemetery. I was hoping that maybe someone purchased the Reynolds Funeral Home and maybe I would find burial records of my Bennie Bruce. I would like to have address of the Jane Maas, if still living, in the Dallas area. One more question? Is the Woodlands Methodist Church still active? If not do you know where the records would have been transferred and maybe an address?

Does anybody out there have any ideas how the Cherry community in RR was started? I would like to find out about some of the history. Annette Cherry

I spoke of Bill and Eliouse Taylor. Bill died around a year ago. Probably around 70 at that time. They lived on the old family farm place about 6 miles south of Avery and he started and operated the Taylor Monument Co on US 82 in Avery. Their daughter Janie and her husband Don (Hall ?) operated the business now. I remember Bill's dad living in Avery. I thing the farm was Eliouse"s family farm. I recall Bill saying he first worked in Lubbock in the monument business before coming to Avery. We once lived in camping trailer in the Taylor's yard for about a week or more when we were between houses in Avery about 1974. Maybe Bill and his dad are not originally from Red River Co. Got to get ready to work today now.

The Reynolds Funeral Home was a 1 Hearse funeral home in the back of George Reynolds Grocery Store. They brought me home from Clarksville Hospital in that thing in the mid-40's. I'm sure it just ceased to operate in Detroit, and there was not another one following it. They have a daughter in the Dallas area Named Jane Maas. I know of no one else from the family still around.

Jo, I will keep a eye out in case I can connect this Worthan to your Wortham. Maybe with the age I can work on it. I will check the Concord minutes for the Ivey name.

Bob Moore of MS, Thanks Bob. However I do not remember hearing of a Reynolds Funeral Home in Detroit. As far as that gone, I don't remember a funeral home in Detroit. Maybe Sam, Mary or Sharon etc can be of help. I will also send this to Sharon since she is not receiving Rootsweb site. Jim Giddens Paris, Tx p.s. Bob Moore of Clarksville (county road) is on the Hall of Fame Committee with me. He is actually Robert E Moore about in his 60s or so. Do you know of him or is he related to you. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Moore" <moor4933@bellsouth.net> To: <TXREDRIV-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2003 8:26 PM Subject: [TXREDRIV] Funeral Homes > Hi Jim: > > Enjoy reading all your rambling post as well as your other genealogy data.

Hi Jim, Part of my Wortham line was Thomas Ivey Wortham. He died in 1879 at age 53 and is buried at English Cemetery. His brothers were John Fletcher, Robert J, George and David Buck Wortham, my GG Grandfather.

Hi Jim: Enjoy reading all your rambling post as well as your other genealogy data. You glide thru my parents/grandparents home territories on many occassions. They were from the Pin Hook, Detroit, and Woodland area. Keep up the good work. You know by now that I have a question don't you. LOL Do you know if the Reynolds Funeral Home in Detroit, TX is still in business? If not do you know who purchased the Funeral Home and maybe their address?

Jo, I just notice in the Concord Baptist Church minutes of 1859, there is a (appears as) Thom T? Worthan. Later I see it as Thomas Worthan, both times written my be librarian (clerk) of the Sunday School. Spelling is different and maybe not connection, but I thought I would throw it in.

When I began my research in late 1970's we made a trip in search of newspapers in Clarksville. My Uncle Starr Heath was associate Editor at one time. My Mother had his obit glued to the back of family Bible and I had hoped to find the original. I was told some Librarian at one time saw no need to keep old papers so they were destroyed. How sad!

Nice trip to Avery and Savannah Cemetery. Savannah Cemetery is in very fine shape. No problem getting to it. Cemetery sign pointing to cemetery is on Hwy 1701. Very interesting markers. I took some notes and about a dozen pictures. The Taylors told me there is a grown up cemetery behind their home place with some Tucker graves there. Had a good visit with George & Helen Peek at their home in Avery (well about 1 mile southeast) Did not have time to stop in Clarksville today. Jim Giddens Paris, Tx

Jim, Early in June yoiu posted that the Clarksville times had started in the late 1800's. Do you know if they have been filmed and archived somewhere? I would like to try to see if there are obits on my gggrandparents who died in the early 1920's. Carol

Carol, The year stated on the front page says "Serving Red River Co since 1873". I have been told that a lot of years had been just not saved or thrown out, but I have not well informed on the exact years or the filming of the years that someone does have.. Sharon Black and others of the RR Co Gen Society are into that filming project. Check the web-site of this board for the Society and the people in charge. Sharon is not receiving messaged from this list because of a problem with her server, Starnet in Paris. I will forward this to her directly.. Good Luck. I hope to get stared toward Avery in the next few minutes.
