I'm back from Texas today, and back to work. I just wanted to say thanks for all the help here finding my relatives. Unfortunately I didn't have the time to stop in at the Historical Center there in Alvord. I spent all my time in the courthouse up north, and in Bowie. I did find Mattie and all them listed in the cemetery books, but when we went out to Elmwood Cemetery, we were only able to locate Mattie's grave. Talking with the librarian there in Bowie, she said it was possible that vandals got to the head stones. It's a common problem apparently. I did notice that Mattie's head stone looked rather new for having a 1949 death date. I also noticed her head stone said 1944, and the death certificate was 1949. Ooops :) But I guess that whoever was replacing the old stone must have had trouble reading the inscription. I also found some of the other Dromgoole's up in Oklahoma, in a small cemetery north west of Geary. Hope to get back down there again some time. I really enjoyed the visit. Except the heat and humidity are a lot worse down there than up here in Nebraska. Thanks again! And if anyone has an e-mail address for the Bowie Library, and the County Clerk forthe Court House, I'd love to send them thank you notes!
