Since I posted my previous query, my email address has changed. Also, I found
out that Johanna Zilphia Walker was the widow of H. H. Walker born in Tennessee.
The names Mathilda, Flossie and Detweiller Phillips are not relations but
Harry Gable was a friend of Alice's. Alice and her mother may have moved
to Galveston after 1900. Alice was working for Geo. C. Lilley in the 1899-1900
census. Johanna resided at 505 St. Louis Ave. in Fort Worth (1896-97 City
directory) and had rooms at 126 W. Tucker in 1899-1900. I have pictures of
Alice and her mother with these addresses on the back. My goal is to find
the families of Johanna and H.H. Any clues will be welcome.

Looking for information on MARY A. HESTER, wife of JOHN A. HESTER. According
to her headstone, she was born 1/10/1843 and was assassinated on 2/21/1877.
She was originally interned at the Hunter Cemetery just east of Benbrook.
The Hunter Cemetery was relocated to the Benbrook Cemetery in 1949 due to
the impoundment of Benbrook Lake.

Before his death, my father T.E. Dixon, told me my ggrand father Frank Dixon
was buried at Pioneers Rest. I don't know the exact date of Frank's death,
but I believe it was in the early or mid 1920s. He was born in Palestine
TX sometime between 1854-1856. If Frank is buried in Pioneers Rest, please
let me know the location information. Thank you very much for your assistance.

I'm looking for census or a death record for David C. Gandy who live in Dallas
Tx. for nearly a decade and then disappeared. He left a widowed wife (Sarah
Gandy) who lived in the Fort Worth area (1907 - 1912). I have established
her presence in the old Fort Worth Directories. In 1907 it lists her as (wid
of David C.). I was unable to find a death record in either the 1903-1940
or the 1941-45 Death Index for Texas for either David or Sarah. If you don't
have information on David C. Gandy; consider emailing me with information
on Sarah, Maude, or Allen Gandy who also lived in the Dallas / Fort Worth
areas. 1900 - 1912. Thanks in advance. davemiller

Does anyone know if Camp Bowie was in the Fort Worth city limits? I am looking
for the death certificate of my cousin Charley E. Taylor that died at Camp
Bowie on November 9, 1917. The state and the Fort Worth Health Department
do not have the record. He is on the death list as certificate # 32655. The
Tarrant county court house does not know about Camp Bowie but they believe
it was not in the county records.
