Wichita Co. website has births, marriages, divorces and death records on it. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/tx/wichita/wichtoc.htm -----Original Message----- From: marycurt@juno.com [mailto:marycurt@juno.com] Sent: Friday, November 18, 2005 6:00 PM To: TXWICHIT-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [TXWICHIT] Hi all, I have asked for help on the list before, but this is a different name, and hope someone can help with it. When John R. McIlheran died in Wichita Falls, one of his survisors was a daughter, Patsy R. McIlheran. However, in the Obituary, it only listed the name of the husband as Jack Holman. I have been researching this name, and found this today in our Library. >From Wichita Co., TX Divorce Records 74401 HOLMAN JOHNNY W 35 PATSY R 33 04 14-Dec-1956 16-Dec-1975 It stated that they had 4 children. Does anyone know a way that I might find the names and birth dates of their children. Any help will be very useful to me. Thanks, Mary ============================== Search the US Census Collection.

I checked out a book today from the library that has a small history on Callfield. What exactly are you looking for? I can scan the pages and send them to you if you are interested. Julie

Sara, I found the following buried at the Riverside Cemetery. I will be glad to send you the headstone photos if you would like them. Could this be them? This info is from the City Cemetery List. The dates are the dates of burial only. Their headstones only have years of birth and death. Both were born in 1882.

Call Field, one of thirty-two United States Army Air Corps training camps established in 1918, was five miles southwest of Wichita Falls in Wichita County. It operated from 1917 until 1919. In 1916 the army announced its intention of establishing a series of camps to train prospective pilots. Frank Kell of Wichita Falls organized an effort to attract the army to the city. By August 17, 1917, Kell and others successfully raised $35,000 and had a commitment from the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad to extend tracks to the proposed site of the camp. On August 27 construction began. In November, when 85 percent of the work was completed, Maj. J. B. Brooks arrived to inspect the facilities. On November 10 he was named commander. On November 20 the first six army pilots arrived, and the field had 600 pilots by late December. On January 15 the army gave final approval of Call Field. The field was named for Loren H. Call, a native of Washington, D.C., who was killed i! n a plane crash near Texas City on July 9, 1913. The training camp had forty-six buildings, which included twelve hangars that housed four to eight planes each, a hospital, and six barracks that held 175 men each. In May four additional hangars and a row of lofts to hold carrier pigeons were built. During its operation 3,000 officers, cadets, and enlisted men were stationed at Call Field, and 500 officers received their wings there. Two squadrons left the training facility for overseas duty. Thirty-four men lost their lives during training exercises, the smallest number of fatalities of any training center. After the war the training center closed. The last military personnel left on October 1, 1919. In 1919 and 1920 Ernest Hall, a former instructor at Call Field, operated a flying school at the facility. The Wichita Polo Club briefly used a portion of the land for its polo field. In 1937 the Wichita Falls Junior Chamber of Commerce and American Legion erected a small marker near the gates of the old field in memory of the thirty-four men who were killed during training. For a number of years the site was the scene of memorial services by the Call Field Veterans Association. The name is perpetuated by a street named Call Field Road.

I am sorry sorry for jumping the gun. My daughter was a block away and saw the outside of the building and it looks very similar to the library facade. It is NOT the library. We are not sure what it is, we went down down there and can only determine that it is on Scott St. between 9th and 10th Streets. One block in front of the library. Sorry folks for the false alarm. It just sent my heart racing. Next time I will verify before I open my big mouth! Julie

My daughter just called and the library is on fire. She says it is burning throught the roof. Oh my God. All of that genealogy material is up in smoke. It's all gone!!!! Julie
