There is Oakwood, and the Oakwood Annex. My grand father is in the Oakwood Annex

Oakwood is the oldest cemetery in town, Austin. It is where most of the old graves are of people who lived in town. There are 2 Jewish sections, and a black section. I am not sure that there are any Catholics there. It is still active and is located east of IH 35 between MKL (19th) and about 11th street. The ledgers I located cover only burials in that cemetery.

The city owned cemeteries are on microfilm. It gives the plot number and probably the death date. I don't believe the birth date is included because it is burial information and not stone information. But most of this should be on the Travis Country Archives site where it has been transcribed. I have found a few mistakes there but its is better than nothing. We are in the middle of working on Austin Memorial Park cemetery currently. Kay

I was told that all the Austin cemeteries are on Micro film at the History Center. Anyone can go down and look at them. Phyllis

Please check at <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/tx/travis/travtoc.htm">Travis County, TX Archives</A> to be sure your people are buried at Oakwood and to try to get the death date. I am happy to get the death information from the ledger books, but I do not have time to do all of the research to get me to that stage. Some cemetery information has also been posted on the <A HREF="http://www.austintxgensoc.org/">AGS</A> site, but it is an ongoing work. Kay Boyd

It will probably be the 23rd, but I will be happy to see what I can find. Kay

Kay, I had two ENTREKIN ggrandparents who died there sometime between 1860-65. If not too much trouble would appreciate a lookup. They also had 2 young daughters who may have died at the same time. phil entrekin ----- Original Message ----- From: Mkdb1405@aol.com Sent: Sunday, August 10, 2003 11:15 AM To: TXTRAVIS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [TXTRAVIS] Oakwood Cemetery Yesterday I found that there exists the Oakwood Ledgers that were kept by the sextons at the cemetery.

You're quite welcome, Sue. Let me know if this turns out to be your guy. It's certainly possible that he WAS missed. I've found a LOT of families are missing in the 1870 census that should have been there. It was the first census following reconstruction (in fact, various forms of reconstruction were still going on in some parts of the state). I believe many people were very suspicious of anyone representing the Federal Government coming around asking questions. I suspect many of the census enumerators were met with shotguns and ordered off the property or they simply found "no one at home."

Hi RuthAnn, Well, you may, in fact have something there. I did not see that one. I have the 1870 census index so I can find the page, etc. here. I will check him out. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, for doing this. I had decided that they were missed (and they may have been) but I will certainly look at this one. If I can be of help to you, please let me know?

Hi, Sue I thought I might try some "creative" searches of my 1870 census index CD using given names and initials rather than the surname. I found the following in Travis County. It's definitely a stretch, but might be worth taking a look at. If the "E." stood for Elmos, this might be who you're looking for. Unfortunately, this index doesn't give age or birthplace. Sorry, I don't have the actual census to check for you. Name: Cozy, Lewis E. Year: 1870 County: TRAVIS CO. State: TX Page: 206 Location: AUSTIN Good luck with your search.

Hi Kay, That's o.k., it's nice to have some one verify. I do have the print out of the census record, though. I sub to ancestry.com & genealogy.com and have not found him in 1870. I think the name was probably, misspelled. I'm still looking for him as; Casy, Case, Casee, Kayce, Kaysee, Kaysey, Kaysy, you name it. <G> I appreciate your help. If I can be of help to you, in any of the areas that I work, please let me know. Sue Ashby CC- USGenWeb: Llano Co. TX Chatham Co. NC Montgomery Co. NC Moore Co. NC Wayne Co.

Am looking for an E. (Elmos) Casey and his family that lived in Austin City in 1860 census. He was b. in TN. His wife was Mary Jane "Mollie" (Reddick/Riddick) Casey - Surname not absolutely proven but good circumstantial. She is b. in MO and they are there, in Howard Co. in 1850. Cannot find him in 1870 but, his widow and some of the children are in Llano Co. in 1880. The first child is Rachel E. b. abt 1849 Second child is J. W. (James William) b. abt 1852 He is in Llano Co. in 1900. Other children whose names are only known by initials are: M. R. Female b. abt 1857, and twins E. and J. A. b. in 1860. This J.A. "may be" the Tigue/Teague that is 20 yrs old in 1880. There is also a daughter Balzora/Balzoria who is b. 1863 and a Lucy b. 1866. Anyone have any connection to this family? Thanks
