Hello again! I am very curious as to whether or not anyone has a record of anyone in their West family lines that lived to be around 100 yrs old -- especially a wife of a West male. My Grandfather, William Henry Rogers (born in Montague County, Texas and died in Stephens County, Oklahoma) died in November of 1955. On a recent trip I was happy to find that my Aunt still had his funeral book. But -- I was amazed as I read through the "sent flowers" pages and my eyes fell upon the simple entry "Grandmother West". My grandfather was born in 1885, his older sister (Mary/Molly) was born in 1880. Let's say, for the sake of argument his mother (Martha/Mattie) was only 13 when she married and 14 when she had her first child. That would make her born about 1866. So, if her mother was only 13 when she married she would have been born about 1853. That would have made her at least 98 years old when my grandfather died. Which would further explain why she sent flowers but did not attend the funeral. I have been searching for Mattie since the 1980s -- she died in about 1891 after the birth of her 3rd child, John. My best guesstimate is that she is buried in Denton County, Texas but I have no proof one way or the other. John was born in Tioga, Denton County. Can anyone help me with any kind of straw to snatch at??? Isn't family fun! Fran
