There is a Historical matker located on Hwy 380, 5 miles East of Decatur. It is called “CAMPSITE OF FRANK AND JESSE JAMES” Does anyone know where the State got the information that is on that particular marker. Does anyone know anything else about that particular campsite?   Thanks: Richard FosterFort Worth richardfostersemail@yahoo.com

I saw the posting regarding the undated Wise County Messenger clipping and thought I might be able to date it. Bill Cates was my geat-uncle (my grandfather, Keith Cates, was his older brother.) My Mom used to do genealogy, and I have her pedigree. According to her records, Bill and Mamie were married on June 5, 1923, so the newspaper clipping would have been a few days after that. Hope this helps! Galen Nippert

Hello, I am hoping someone is researching this couple. My son-in-law is a descendant of Emma B. Roan and John Wesley Taylor, also of Maury Co., TN. John Wesley Taylor was the brother of Nathaniel G. Taylor, and Emma B. Roan was the cousin of Sarah Emily Roan. No one in his family knows anything about the Taylors or the Roans. My son-in-law's family ended up in Callahan Co., TX. I don't know when or where Nathaniel G. Taylor died. I found him in 1900 in Hunt Co., TX, but he wasn't with the family when the 1910 Denton Co., TX census was taken. Sarah was living with a daughter when the 1920 Wichita Co., TX census was taken, and I haven't found her in 1930. She died 8 Apr 1945 in Wise Co. and is buried in the Oaklawn Cemetery in Decatur. I would love to know more about the Taylors and the Roans, and will be happy to share any information I have. Thanks and best wishes, Sharon Clark Fort Worth, TX clarksha@verizon.net

We're in the process of moving our web pages. Check out the new "home" for the funeral home records. http://www.wisecountytexas.info/funeralrecords/index.htm I put all the records that were over 25 years old online. You can just click on the name, and the record will come up (I hope). Some of the oldest records were only filled in at the top. There may be 4 different ones on a page. This was because we printed all of these pages at one time. Sue "Most of the information in these funeral records was found in obituaries. We did not include information about the cost of funerals. Some social security numbers are on these pages, but those are public record in the Social Security Death Index. According to the Texas Information Act - (2) a death record is public information and available to the public on and after the 25th anniversary of the date of death as shown on the record filed with the bureau of vital statistics or local registration official;"

Royce Raven has finished the index of names for the 1958 'Bridgeport Index' pages. All is online. See page http://www.wisecountytexas.info/bridgeportindex/1958-names.htm

I found an old yellow article apparently cut from the Messenger about my father-in-law Cowboy Baker and a lady named Mary Baneer. BRONC RIDING FOR NEXT TRADES DAY Miss Mary Baneer, bronc rider extra-ordinary, will be here Saturday, June 9th, to help entertain the big crowds which will attend Decatur's big trades day. Miss Baneer gave an exhibition of her skill as a rider at Rhome last Saturday, and the big crowd there was highly pleased. She will be assisted here Saturday by some of the best men bronc riders in the county. "Cowboy" Baker of Boyd will have charge of the performance, which will be free to everybody. A free-will collection will be taken during the performance for the lady rider, but no fee will be charged. Motor Cop Dalton has threatened to give an exhibition of riding at the time, and he states positively that he can ride a bronc as well as he does a motor cycle. There isn't any date on the portion of the article. On the back of the article is another story. Maybe someone will recognize the names. POPULAR DECATUR YOUNG FOLKS WED On the last Tuesday evening at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Ella Hughes, north of Decatur, Miss Mamie Hughes and Mr. Bill Cates were married, Rev. Roy Patton performing the ceremony. The bridesmaids were Misses Lois Hughes, Inez Derryberry, Ivan Collins and Pauline Mason. Miss Mattie Baits, aunt of the bride, played the wedding march. The room was beautifully decorated with ferns and roses. The bride is a sweet and charming young lady, possessing all the qualities that go to make an ideal wife and help-mate, and Mr. Cates is a stalwart, honest and energetic young farmer. Mr. and Mrs. Cates will make their home with Mrs. Hughes. Messenger joins the happy couple's numerous friends in congratulation (the rest of the article is cut off)
