Thanks

I found a James A. Neel buried at East Bridgeport Cemetery next to Nellie Neel. I'll send you these headstone pictures in separate emails. I also found the funeral records for Nellie on the list on page http://www.wf.net/~drycreek/funeral_home_records.htm Looks like she was married to James A. (it gives dates) and then remarried (but is buried with the Neel last name??) Found the funeral record for Bertha Mae Cunningham, and it has her parents as Jim Neal and Bell Snoder. She has sisters and step-sisters. Maybe you can get this all straightened out! I'll send you these records. If you find others that you want let me know.

I am looking for information on my Great Grandfather James A. Neel. He lived and died in Bridgeport, Texas. His children were Bertha Mae Neel Cunningham, of Bridgeport. William L. Neel of Oklahoma and Olivia Pearl Neel Guthrie Porter of Gainesville,Texas. I have pictures of a family and then a seprate picture of two ladies. On the picture of the two ladies it says Dec. 3, 1889. 18 years old Miss Snawder. I would like to know about James A. Neel and his wife. I feel Ms Snawder may have been his wife. Does anyone know about the Neel's or Snawder's.

I have the funeral records and headstone pictures. I'll send you these in separate emails. If you want others let me know. The funeral record says she died of "Dropsey". I'm not sure what that is. Lots of the old funeral records say that. ????

Hi Sue, This is Shandra in California that you so very kindly helped with Eliza Preston's headstone photo. I am somehow getting lots of correspondence intended for other researchers, and am not sure how this is happening, but I am replying to you on one of the recent ones so that you can see it too.

Eleanor, I have heard of this Fannie J. Clifton that taught school. My grandmother was Fannie Lee (Clifton) McNeely and lived in Greenwood. She is not, however, the same person that you seek. I had an inquiry about 4 or more years ago from someone looking for info on the teacher, Fannie Clifton. As far as I know, I am not related to her. If I find additional info on Fannie J. Clifton, I will post it to the list. Do you know the location in Wise County where Fannie J. Clifton taught?

I'd double check the number you dialed, just to make double sure, and if it still doesn't work, you can snail-mail the form to them at the address they provide.
