E-Mail: dchminc@aol.com City/State: Denton, TX Look-Up Request: Recently the Museum was given a group of pictures from the family of Thomas Stewart and wife Rosa Daley Stewart. They had two known children, Thomas,Jr., and Ledelle who married L. S. Forester in Denton County. According to the Denton City Death Records, Mrs. Rosa Stewart died in 1947 and her body was sent to Fort Worth for burial in Oakwood Cemetery. Thomas Stewart died in 1907 and would assume that he is also buried in Oakwood. Please check your records for these two burials (and any other Stewarts buried in Oakwood). ======================================== REPLY: I found Rose (Rosa?), Thomas, Thomas Jr. and apparently his wife. They are buried in Block 24 Lot 18. There are a total of forty three Stewart's in the book. I have no way of knowing who else might be related.

Thursday 08/29/2002 3:32:35pm Name: Joy Shreyer E-Mail: sjoygene@aol.com City/State: Silverton OR Look-Up Request: Rob: I was just wondering on this W.H. and Sarah Ellen Davis tombstone info. that you sent me, if you have any suggestions of where I could write for an obituary. Of course I would have to find out if 1904 or 1905 was the correct death date first. I did try to call the Vickie you suggested at Oakwood today but noone answered the phone. The message said they were open from 7-3 and I called at 12:30 here so they should still have been open even with the time difference, but I will try again tomorrow. They only had the one daughter Sarah Elizabeth Davis who married N.H. Lasseter. Is there a Sarah E. Lasseter or an N.H. Lasseter listed in the Oakwood Cemetery? I don't have what the initials N.H. stand for. Do you have the address of the local library in Ft. Worth that might have genealogical information? Thanks for being so prompt and so helpful. Thanks so much Joy Shreyer ======================================== REPLY: The LASSITER's are on the adjacent lot to the DAVIS's. LASSITER, Sarah Elizabeth "Bettie", female age 95, b. 1869, d. 1-9-1965, interred 1-13-1965, buried Block 28 in the east 1/2 of Lot 13 Space 2, resided El Paso, TX. LASSITER, Newton Hance, b. 1860, d. 1954, interred 11-27-1954, buried Block 28 in the east 1/2 of Lot 13 Space 3. LASSITER, Eliza Boswell, female, b. 1840, d. 4-16-1916, buried Block 28 in the east 1/2 of Lot 13 Space 4. No other burials are recorded in this lot. All five of these graves (Davis & Lassiter) have individual headstones. Vicki was probably helping someone outside of the office when you called. She is the only person working in the office, so when she's busy you get the machine. Contact info for the library is on Page 1 of our website. That's where I recommend you go for obits. Rob

Tuesday 08/27/2002 2:11:02am Name: Joy Shreyer E-Mail: sjoygene@aol.com City/State: Silverton OR Look-Up Request: Is there a William Henry Davis listed in this cememtery. or his wife Sarah Ellen Davis?

[If memory serves, the records books showed interrment in 1904 while the headstone shows death in 1905. That was nine years ago.] DAVIS, Sarah Ellen Peyton, b. 1830, d. 4-13-1920, interred 1920, buried Block 28, in the west 1/2 of Lot 13 Space 5, resided 1008 Pennsylvania. The records don't show anyone else buried in this six space lot. The remaining spaces could be unused or could have unrecorded burials. If you call Vickie at Oakwood 817-624-3531, she might be able to tell you who the legal owner of the Lot is. Rob

Tuesday 07/30/2002 8:41:23pm Name: Tom Sims E-Mail: trsims@aol.com City/State: Brmingham, AL Look-Up Request: Camilla Barnes Reynolds 1904-1999 Fort Worth, Texas I am trying to locate her obituary. She lived in downtown Forth Worth since the early 1930's. She was married to Banks Reynolds and I do not think they had any children. I think her house was eventually surrounded by office buildings but she continued to live there. In her later years, around 1996, she may have moved to the Houston area and may have died there. I think her father was William Oscar Barnes but I do not know her mother. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank You Tom Sims ======================================== REPLY: The Oakwood book was published in 1994 and has no info on burials beyond 1992. I suggest that you contact the Fort Worth Public Library to request a look-up. Contact info is on the following page. http://www.txfwgs.org/TARRANT_COUNTY/address.htm Rob
