    3. Does anyone have the new HISTORY OF MANSFIELD book? Would love to know if the KEENE's appear in the index. If so I will order one. But $70. is steep for a book, unseen. While you've heard the SANSONI/SONTER family were married in Ft. Worth. She, being widowed in 1899, lived in Ft. Worth with her son Fredrick b. 1892 until her death in 1925. Although she is evidently not buried there. Meantime there was a KEENE family that moved to Streetman about 1903 and lived on a farm there until 1935. Marion Washington Keene and Alice India Reno. They had eight children (and two from previous marriages). Many of whom lived and married in Ft. Worth around the turn of the century. Vernon LeRoy Pearce Eula Lee Keene Marion Guy Keene m. Gertrude Hattie Mae Keene b.1887 d. 1927 William Lewis Keene d. 1968 Samuel Fredrick Keene m.Dora Margaret Elizabeth Keene m.A.L. Brown, then Edwin Clayton 1912 Essie Viola Keene m. Fredrick Sansoni 1912 Lura Beatrice Keene m. John Austin Jones m.1918 Raymond Keene m. Irene Jones and lived in Mansfield. When his wife died in 1935 Marion Washington Keene moved to Kinnadale and Grapevine briefly, then settled in Mansfield. He married Josie Beasley Lewis in 1943, his third wife. She is buried in Mansfield Cemetary. He died in Mansfield in 1956 and is buried in the Birdston Cemetary in Streetman, as is the mother of his children. Would love to learn more about the history and area of Fort Worth and Mansfield and Streetman. Any recommended reading? Know very little of this period. Any information is appreciated. Are there any tips you can share about searching in this area?
