I’m a researcher from Indianapolis and I look for information on Curt McMullen for an historical marker application. He’s a former soldier in the 1’st world war.

Mills - Thomas

Nora Belle Neal McEwin Mills was a cook at the Aikin Hospital during the 1920’s. She may have become a nurse as well. She was living with her aunt, Hattie M. Thomas, in 1920. Ms. Thomas was the superintendant of the Aikin Hospital at that time. Am looking for any information on Ms. Thomas. Contact

Garretts Ferry

2008-07-02T13:23:13Z

Hi - my ggrandfather is in the Lamar Co census, Precinct 1 on Garretts Ferry rd. Does anyone know where this road was? I see an area called Garrets Bluff on maps and assume it was near there? He died in 1927 and was supposedly buried on his property.

thanks,
Amy

Looking for Garretts Ferry Rd

2008-07-02T13:15:58Z

Hi - My ggrandfather is the the 1910 Lamar Co census, Precinct 1 on Garretts Ferry Rd. Does anyone know where this road was located? I see an area called Garretts Bluff near the river. I’ve tried finding an old map online that might show it, but haven’t found one. I’m planning a trip to Paris next week for research. Are there historical maps there?
Thanks,
Amy

S. Lynn Photography

Has anyone heard of S. Lynn Photography in Paris, TX? I have an unidentified picture of a female that is in a cardboard mat. The mat is cut in a square with the name of the photagraphy studio on the edge. The photo looks to be from the early 1900’s.

Benjham S Herron

2008-06-30T01:15:56Z

Looking for information on a Benjham S. Herron who married Ruth Wilmuth. A family member told me that Benjham worked on the railroad and died while at work. Benjham and Ruth had two daughters--Ruby and Pearl born 1918 and 1919 respectively.

WILMUTH/WARD

2008-06-30T01:11:26Z

Looking for information on Almie Wilmuth who married UNK Ward. Almie was the daughter of Josie Rees Wilmuth and Rufus Wilmuth. She lived with her mother until at least 1930. She died in 1952 and is buried at Haleboro Cemetery. Her death certificate lists her as “married” so I am thinking that her husband was still alive in 1952.

Dean-Wade Home

2008-06-10T10:00:26Z

Owner Doug Cox is looking for the abstract, said to contain an historical diary, of the Dean-Wade Home, built around the turn of the century, at 946 South Main. Previous owners were Eddie and Bobbie Henry and then Calvin Gibson. According to First Federal, which had the abstract in 1975, it must have gone back to the owner, which would have been the Gibson estate. Anyone with information concerning the old Dean-Wade Home, contact Doug Cox, 946 S. Main, Paris TX 75460.
