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

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.

Neel Family

2008-02-22T10:03:08Z

Hello. My name is Janet Walsh from Kansas City KS. I am helping a cousin of mine with the Neel family genealogy. I know my maternal grandfather was born on a farm in Paris TX in 1904. His name was Willie Lloyd Neel. Between 1895 and 1914 he had 5 brothers, names Otto, Ray, Charles, Olan, and Elvin. 2 sisters, names Dovie and the other an infant, no name there. Our family has been trying for a while to track down birthdates. Their parents were named Benjamin Daniel and Alice (maiden Willis). Was hoping and looking into many websites around Paris to inquire if anyone has information about this family to help our tree. Would love to hear from you or anyone you know that has this type of history. Thank you. Janet Walsh. Reply to cardiotech38 at yahoo dot com

Jack Keeling, a former Paris Junior College student, is looking for a Paris News article, possibly printed in the second half of 1967, in which he was recognized for receiving the Bronze Star. He has lost the clipping, but doesn’t remember the date. Anyone knowing of the Keeling name, or who might have a copy of this article, please contact him through Daisy at Aikin Archives.
