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.

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.

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?

Bob, the Detroit area has a homecoming pretty soon, and maybe Jane will be there and I can get her address, but the part about the Methodist Church, I do not know. Perhaps I can find out.

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.
