Sunday 03/17/2002 4:35:57am Name: Mollie Lester E-Mail: jermol@wf.quik.com City/State: Wichita Falls Tx Look-Up Request: Seeking information on Hettie Bell Aldridge Ward, Dob:8-25-1895 DOD:6-29-1967. It is my understanding that her place of death was Ft. Worth. I haven't been able to find anything on her. I was told some time ago that she was buried in a paupers grave. We were not notified of her death so know nothing of funeral home etc. She was my grandmothers sister and there is no one left with any information. She was married to ?Aldridge in the early 20's, but it must have been for a short while. I don't know if she was using the Aldridge name at the time of her death or not. She may have been using her maiden name of Ward. I have found nothing on the SSDI. I will appreciate anything you can find on her. Thank you! REPLY: I did not find her. I don't believe that Oakwood was being used for pauper's burials as late as 1967. My suggestion to you is to contact the Fort Worth Library to see if they can locate an obit. If that doesn't work, try contacting Greenwood or Laurel Land Cemeteries. I have seen paupers graves in Greenwood and LL is likely because it is the largest in the county. Contact info for the library is on Page 1 and the cemeteries are on Page 301. -Rob
