Betty, There are many Humphrey people still in Red River County. I know the Lone Star Cemetery has many of them. I also had a classmate Donald Poteet living in the Dimple area north of Clarksville about 6 miles that has a son working at Allen Lumber Company in Clarksville. Here is one of the reasons I like to know where people live. You live in Huntsville as does a class mate of mine of the class of 59 of Clarksville High School. He is Dr Jack Atkins. He is a OB/Gyn doctor. He is married to the daughter of Dr Wright that was a old doctor in Clarksville in the 50s when I was a teen there. This Atkins still have a ranch at Vessey in northeast Red River Co. and one in west RR Co on Hwy US 82 just west of Detroit just before you come to where the railroad overpass was until recent years. You will see the Atkins Ranch sign. Jack's brother Eddie is a multi-business man here in the Paris area. I know I am rambling but often tidbits are a surprising help to someone, if not for you or me. I sure like that Sam Houston stature in Huntsville. I pass it when we go to Lake Conroe to visit one of or children. Have a good day and thanks for joining our little group.

Jim, I have a Jim Poteet born in 1905 which could be Donald Poteet's father or grandfather. Phoebe May Billingsley married Joseph Richard Humphrey in Lamar Co., TX in 1897, they are both buried at Evergreen Cemetery, Lamar Co., TX. I haven't found any of their children yet. My goodness, yes, I know Dr. Adkins. My husband hung most of the wallpaper in his house and he used to be my doctor. I did not know that he was from that area of Northeast Texas. Yes, we enjoy having the statue here of Sam. I am a graduate of Sam Houston State University along with my husband and quite a few family members. Look for the Bearkats on TV Friday playing for the first time "ever" in the NCAA Basketball tournament from Tampa, FL. They are playing the Florida Gators, our odds are only 2,500 to 1 of winning but quite an experience for our university. Looking forward to hearing more news about descendants of my husband's family. I only found them in Red River and Lamar Co., TX a week ago. I have been researching this family for 6 years.
