Hello everyone, Im glad to see the emails coming in again, I sent this the other day, so here it is delayed. I just wanted to put my input on what I saw in Clarksville yesterday, as I was driving down main street I saw big yellow bows and ribbons tied on doors, tree's, etc. Also lining Main Street was United States Flags,on each side of the road. I live here so I dont notice those Golden Arch's (unless kids are begging ) but it was with pride that I noticed the yellow ribbons & flags. My personal opinion, I hope they remain where they are untill this war is over. As a reminder of the men & women who are fighting for our country. I hope you dont take me wrong, as Im not complaining at all about what you said, I just wanted to say what I noticed & I belive alot of times, when one lives somewhere, it gets to where you dont notice things because it's a everyday occurance, but put something new up & I notice.     Have a great day          Darla Campbell           Clarksville, Texas Also I wanted to point out to anyone in RR Co that may know what to do about this, there are countless streets inside the city limits that have no stop signs, I have thought about doing a project myself & getting a map to pin point each place that there are crossroads & no stop signs on either side. But as with the creeks not having names, I figured that there was no money for signs. Just a concern of mine, especially for drivers that are not aware of this problem, (the ones whom like me when I moved here last summer), that may drive, see no stop sign in front of them & drive on. And at same time another driver thinking the same thing, it's a accident waiting to happen all over town. Again just my opinion.

Jim, I can not be much help, but remember descendents from almost all those Dean names you mentioned. As far the Clack name, I would almost bet you that that in Anna Bell Bartlett, that had the beautify shop in Clarksville Grand Dad. You see, she still lives on her home place just East of the Dean Cemetery about 5 miles on 82. I also think she has a sister in Clarksville named Young., and a brother in Plano named Billy.

Hey Gene, I walked the Poolville cemetery yesterday with my dad and aunt. I took about 70 pictures, 60 or so of tombstones. I found a ton of Phillips there. Once I index them I will send you a list. I also walked the Springtown cemetery, which is quite large, and took about 150 pictures there. There were quite a few Phillips there also.

Most of my other surnames I can trace to a specific country of origin. Besides the Poolville connection the only other Phillips connection without a blood relation is my wife. When I first met her I knew she was divorced, but didn't know she was using her maiden name. I was surprised to find out that her grandfather was a Jewish Phillips from Latvia. Her brother has documents that show the original name is similar to Phillips, but it is written in Cyrillic characters. He was the first to come to the US in the late 1800s.

JimmyG, Why don't we get Sue in this Wed. to take a look and do some x-rays, make some models and photos to get her ready for her treatment. This will let us take another look and plan out her treatment better. None of these are invasive procedures;therefore, she will not be stressed out or even numb. I was erasing some of my old e-mails and saw a strange one that I wondered if you got one like it. It was from Bonnie, on our list,and she said "I can't talk to you anymore, me husband is jealous/mad or something like that"....weird! I don't think I have ever talked to her except through the list. She ,of course is still on the list....weird. I just wondered what you thought about it.

All:I was Sitting here in front of my comp. and missing all my Red River County Buddies. I sometimes have quite times ,when I don't write much, but I am always reading what's going on. All this war talk on TV,etc. got me to thinking about the kids. I wondered how they were feeling about all the talk and TV coverage. When I was a small boy(yes, Jim I was small at one time)during WWII I remember having a lot of different feelings but none of them was fear. I remember my Cornett, Watson and Peak uncles coming home on leave and how happy my Grandparents were to see them but I also remember seeing them cry when the time came for them to leave. It was hard for me to see my Grandmothers cry. They weren't supposed to cry. They were the ones who helped us through our crying times. I'm sure my Grandfathers cried also but they did it privately. I remember many things that were very interesting to me during those days,some I am seeing again now. During that war the families who had loved ones in the service, men and women, would display a little banner in a front window of their house. There would be a blue star on the banner for each service member representing that family. Gold stars meant that a loved one had made the supreme sacrifice for their country. I remember how sad it made me to see those gold stars. My brother and I would always look for the stars while we rode around town. My mother ,Elouise Watson, Worked at the Hub during the war. This was after it had burned and they were in another building in the middle of the block on the North side of the square. The store had a unique payment system. The cashier was located up stairs and to make a payment the sales person would send the sales ticket and money to them in a little cop attached to a wire that went up to the second floor. THe sales person would pull a lever and the cup would slid up the wire. The cashier would take transaction, put the change and receipt in the cup and send it back downstairs. When Mother would be getting ready for work in the morn. we would want her to play but she said she couldn't be late for work or they would fire her. With all that talk about war I thought they would machine gun her;therefore, I was always worried that she would be late. Seems like every boy had a pilots cap. These were either leather or canvas, had a buckle under the chin, covered your ears, and had goggles. I finally got a canvas one and boy did I think I was HOT! I remember the ration books and the lack of some items in the stores. I think that was when margarine first came out and it was white until you mixed in the yellow coloring that came in a little package with it. I remember that when you had a flat you would either use a cold patch or a hot patch to fix it. Tires couldn't be bought so there was a lot of patching going on. I remember that we had to pull all the shades at night to cause a black out of the town. Seems like there were people with white helmets and an arm band that would come tell you to pull your blinds if they were not. After the war there was military surplus everywhere,even in the A@P. They sold back packs, helmets, boots, and canteens. Well, that's enough of my ramblin. I just thought we needed to be aware of the children at this critical time....They do notice things and feel our stress. By the way, our house never displayed a GOLD STAR.

I sent out a little note, and it has not returned to me as yet. Even if it does, that still means it is very slow. Sam Paris

Good Morning to you that read this, My two main interest in this machine, is to listen in on the RR County board, and then I have a little group that we send e-mails, jokes pictures, just things we don't want to clutter the board up with. Well, that group has had a very good business this past week, but there has been very little at my house from the RR Board. I just figured you guys had more to do than I did, and you would catch up next week, but now I'm not sure. But anyhow, if you want to use me as a testing place, go right ahead, because I will be pretty close to this thing for at least two more weeks, and you should know by now that I am always glad to hear from you. I will send this as a test myself. Sam from West of Home Depot Paris

Paris News today Goldie Mae Clark, 91 of Annona Ruth M Humphrey, 96 of Clarksville Board is sure quiet also. Jim Giddens Paris, Tx

Is there anyone researching the Bevens or Bevins families? I am looking for information on Samuel Walker Love's second wife and I can't determine from the records that I have if her name was Bevens or Bevins. Some say one way and some say the other. I even found one writing that said Blevins. Any help would be appreciated... Thanks, Drew Slate Fort Worth, Tx
