I am completely stumped in my efforts to locate the parents of my grandmother, Ella Genevieve Booker. We will be making the trip to Paris/Clarksville,Bagwell this weekend and I want to try to find as many markers as I can. My grandmother's father was W.T. Booker (either Waller Booker or Worler Booker) and her mother was Mary Ella Baker Booker. I found them on the 1920 census (Red River county) and then they just disappear completely. I found his death record (I think) that states he died on July 1, 1920, in Red River County. Until we get to Clarksville and I can see the book of all the burials, I have no idea where he is buried. Somewhere I found that Mary died in 1933, but I can't find her anywhere on the 1930 census. I know there are still Bookers in Bagwell where they lived in the old family home that burned several years ago. I am so curious why W.T. came to Red River county from Kentucky and if his other family members did also and this is where all the Bookers came from that still live around there. If there is a connection, I would love to meet them. .··-.¸.-··.

Oh no, you don't have to wait. He is at Old Shamrock. That is the one I am photographing the markers, but I don't have that one yet. Mary is there also but evidently there is no marker for her. I have further information, will get back with you after I go eat.
