From the list on page http://homepages.ntws.net/sites/wisemuseum/funeral_records.htm I found the following Pewitt funeral records: C64 7 Pewitt Carolyn Sue Toten HF73 1132 Pewitt Claude Arvo H61 20 Pewitt Olen A. H61 136 Pewitt Patricia Elaine I don't see your Katherine. Maybe she did die in Fort Worth and the funeral was handled from there. Maybe you need to look in Tarrant County for a death certificate. ???

Looking for information on Levi Pruitt who married Kezziah Kennedy. They are in the 1880 census in Wise CO. they were in 1870 census in Arkansa Co. AR under Levi Prewitt. Kezziah's brother Francis Marion Kennedy was in Wise Co in 1875 (AR. in 1870.) Have record of land deed to him in Wise CO. He and wife Castero is buried in Hogs Branch Cemetery. ( from Family) Something happen to them between 1875 and 1880 because on the census ,3 of their children are in the household of Levi and Kizia (Kezziah) . Cinthia age 14 Jeenta age 12 Which I have as Nettie Andrew L age 10 which is our line Mattie age 8 (whom we know married a Reed) One of these children was my husbands grandfather. Hope fully if I can find someone researching these Pruitt , Prewitt, I might find out what happened to Francis and Castera and where the rest of the Kennedy children in the Pruitt house hold are. If someone knows any thing about any of these people I would be forever grateful for any info. I am in OK and would be glad to come to wise county. Is there any way to know if in the museum they have info on either of these families? Thanks ever so much Jewell Chandler Kennedy 1 Levi Pruitt b: 1831 in TN .. +Kezziah Kennedy b: 1830 in TN. ........ 2 James R. Pruitt b: 1863 in AR ........ 2 John L. Pruitt b: 1865 in AR
