My grandfather married a woman over 58 years ago in Texas. They were together a short time and then my grandmother ROBERTA COFFMAN moved to CA with my infant father (Robert Clamon). I know there are a lot of Clamon's in Texas ........... So if this sounds familiar to ANYONE please email me.

Thank you,

I noticed a request to assist with the Veteran markers and there was listed a number for the Pace Funeral Home. I find this interesting because I have seen abt 20 graves with only the Pace Funeral home metal marker to identify them...in the old Olive Cemetery! Some dating as later and 1964. Please see my site for the Olive Cemetery. I have directions for folks who don't know where it is.

I'd love to see that cemetery restored.

After the holidays, I will have time to submit them. The possible families are Redds', Kents' , Taylors' (G.B.), Sarah Elizabeth Taylor, Cantrell, G. Estis Kent and several family reunions of the Redds' from Corrigan and Camp Ruby, also a group school photo from Darby, and some individual non- family students. I still correspond with the contacts made through this site.
Keep up the good work!!

Thanks so much to Sally Cannon for her e-mail. It looks like she lined up more than half my burch relatives in one stroke. I wish I could help but I'm way out here in Oregon. I'll definately upload my data once I've done some documentation. Plus I have a cousin I'm trying to find who apparently has the Burch Family Bible. I wish the other 3 sides were so easy. I love the pictures. I feel negligent because my family has so little to offer.

Comments: How interesting it is to read about Polk County! I live in Hurst TX, and would like to learn of my family history. My dad's father was Harrison Smith who married Abbie Lucas in Stephenville TX Erath County around 1887-88. They separated before my Dad was born, and no one knew what became of my grandfather. I have narrowed it down to the Harrison Smith who lived in Corrigan TX. 75939 My Dad was born on 9-15-1900. He joined the Army when he as only 15 yrs. old and went on to spend 30 years serving our country, 15 yrs were spent in Honolulu HA, then went to Germany during WWII and the rest in the states. He died in 1961 at 61 years of age. I was very proud of him and loved him very much although he was a little obstinate about finding his dad. I am now 68 yrs old and would love to know if I have any kin that would be interested in just talking and learning about each other. I feel as if we have missed a lot of wonderful conversations and visits. If there is anyone who believes they belong to the same Harrison Smith that I do, I would love to hear from you. The Harrison Smith that I think I belong to died in Sept.1983 in Corrigan, TX. His social security # was 457-32-9248. He was born on Apr. 1, 1879. Thanks for your time! Looking forward to hearing from someone. Carol Stone--709 Cedar St.--Hurst, TX. 76053--817-285-9576
