Kerr County Obituaries

@@shirlwbb@ktc.com — 21 Apr 2008 1:17:38 GMT

Detailed instructions for obtaining an obituary from the records at the Kerr Regional History Center can be found on the Kerr County TXGenWeb page
http://kerrco.vibobgen.com/KerrCountyObituaries.htm

The History Center has microfilm of obituaries dating back to the earliest newspapers. There are gaps in the early dates (due to loss of some newspaper issues before microfilming) but these records are indexed by a member of the Kerrville Genealogical Society so names can easily be found as long as a full name and approximate date are furnished.

The public library, Butt-Holdsworth Memorial Library, will handle mailing and cost for obtaining these obituaries (which is minimal).

Check the Kerr County TXGenWeb page for the abovementioned obituary information.

D. McMillen, 1892

Jim Wheat — 14 Jul 2002 10:32:37 GMT

Did Tom Bean Leave a Will?

BONHAM, Tex., Aug. 22.—An old German
about 70 years of age, claiming to be from
Kerr county, Texas., arrived here several
days ago. He says his name is D. McMillen;
that Tom Bean, two years before his death,
was in Austin, and while there, made a will
disposing of his entire estate to the widows'
and orphans' home of Texas; that the will
is now in Austin and that by the direction
of the testator, the executor is to hold it
until a certain time in order to see how many
claimants would appear, claiming his vast
estate, and after they are all in at the proper
time, the executor is to produce the will in
court, thereby defeating the army of claimants.
People here are amused at the old man's
tale and think it all a fake. However, McMillen
says he came all the way from Kerr county
to be in attendance on the court for fear that
the case would come to trial.

Wood family in Kerrville

mcwasthere — 28 Sep 2007 3:23:10 GMT

I would like to contact descendants of Clarence Maurice Wood and/or James E. Wood to gain and share information about their Wood family. These families lived in Kerrville in the 60s. Clarence Maurice's father, Robert Ezra Wood, went to Ellis County, Texas, from Tennessee between 1880 and 1900.

Blanche C Horton married ? Wallace lived in Texas 1920s-1930s

kaseyrsteele — 3 Oct 2007 6:57:24 GMT

I'm looking for my great grandmother Blanche C HORTON born 11 Sept 1871 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Her first husband was Wendell GEORGE. They were married about 1888. They had at least 10 children with the vast majority of them dying in early infancy or childhood.

I've traced Blanche from Philadelphia to Newark, New Jersey in 1900. She gave birth to daughter Nellie GEORGE in 4 May 1904 in New Jersey. Then the family moved to the Pensacola area, Escambia County, Florida. Another daughter, Blanche GEORGE, was born there 2 Sept 1907. Her other known children were Dora M GEORGE, born 31 March 1890 but probably died as a child, Elmer E. GEORGE born 13 Nov 1892, son Charles GEORGE born Jan 1896, and Henry GEORGE born 17 Jan 1898.

I've traced Blanche C HORTON to Texas as Blanche C WALLACE in 1926 (a mention in her mother's obit, no exact location) and on the 1930 US Census in Kerrville, Kerr County, Texas. Although she is listed as married, no husband was listed. Just below Blanche C WALLACE on the census is Henry WALLACE and his wife Gertrude WALLACE, living nearby in a separate residence. Does anyone know if Henry would be Blanche's brother-in-law, her husband's brother, or his cousin?

I've also found Lester B WALLACE living not far away (in my estimation) from Blanche and the other WALLACEs. Lester is 50 years old, says he's married, but there's no wife.

Lee WALLACE, 62, says he's divorced and also lives in the same vicinity as Blanche and the other WALLACEs. There's also James H WALLACE who is in the VA Hospital in Kerrville. He says he's single. William WALLACE, 52, lives with his mother and others is also nearby, says he's single.

Anyone have any ideas? On my grandfather's marriage application (1923) he said his father's name was "James" but it was really Wendell, so I'm wondering if James was his step-father's name? Or the clerk just made a mistake. No surnames were given for his parents.

Any thoughts? Does anyone know the WALLACEs mentioned? If they don't belong with Blanche, I can eliminate them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

POW/MIA Korean War, Kerr Co. BUTLER

powmiadna — 4 Oct 2007 10:21:34 GMT

I am searching for the family of a soldier who was killed in the Korea War. When he entered service he gave Kerr County , Texas as his home of record.

Soldier: BILLY JOE BUTLER
Born: 1921
Date of loss: November 28, 1950

When the Korean War ended the enemy never returned or accounted for over 8,000 of our servicemen. They died in their hands. That was over 50 years ago. Since that time DNA has been perfected and also they are recovering remains in North Korea. Our government is obligated to return those remains to the proper family. DNA samples have been obtained from most of the families of these missing soldiers. For various reasons some families have not been located. There are 137 families in Texas that have not been located. There is one family from Kerr County that has not been located.

When the remains are recovered and identified they will be returned to the family for proper burial. I am just an old (77 years) Combat Veteran out of the Korean War and thankful that I did return. I consider this a very noble cause and I hope that you can help in some way to find this family. For more information on the project you may go to http://www.jpac.pacom.mil/. My part in the program is to match up the lost families with the proper agency.

I will be grateful for any assistance in locating this family.

VITAL RECORDS - KERR COUNTY, TX - DEATHS 1997 --- Thistle, Alan Douglas 26-Feb-1997 M

I am working on my family genealogy. Currently I am seeking THISTLE family information.

Last known information about Alan D Thistle is that he was born circa 1911 and I believe died in Kerr County but may have lived in in San Antonio at some point in lifetime.

Sorry that I cannot provide more information as the best available information I currently have to work with is SSDI and Texas Death Index.

I would appreciate knowing any family related information about other THISTLE relations of either Kerr or Bexar county .

Alan D Thistle was born 1911 and died: 26 February 1997.

Is there a local paper that I can write to, as I would like request a copy of his obituary notice.

Thank You,
Rachel

Howard Appleton Negley, 1898-1983

Bill Muller — 15 Aug 2006 12:05:46 GMT

Seeking information on the wives and children of Howard Appleton Negley (1898-1983). Howard was the son of Felix Casper Negley, Jr. and Mary Seaton Appleton. Born in Butler, PA, he moved to Texas and lived on his sister’s ranch in Kerr Co., TX Howard was a sometime actor and had roles in a number of Hollywood films

His filmography reads:

“American general purpose actor Howard Negley made his screen bow as Nelson in 20th Century Fox's Smokey. Negley went on to reasonably prominent character parts in such B-pictures as Charlie Chan in the Trap (1947). For the most part, he played nameless bit parts as police captains, politicians, and reporters. Howard Negley was last seen as the Twentieth Century Limited conductor in Hitchcock's North by Northwest (1959)”
~ Hal Erickson, ALL MOVIE GUIDE.

Howard served briefly in the U.S. Army (Sept. – Dec, 1918).

He had two or three wives: We do not know the names of his first two wives (or was it only one), but he had two unnamed children with each (or was it four with one?). In 1974 he married Lydia Powell in Kerr Co., TX.

Howard was a great, great grandson of Alexander Negley of Pittsburgh, PA.

QUESTIONS: What were the names of wives 1 (and 2). What were their birth and death dates.

More importantly, what were the names of his children (who still may be alive in the Kerr Co., TX area)?

Willing to share information.

MURDER of HUGO SCHLADOER

Donna Schulte Loth — 12 Apr 2003 7:44:01 GMT

Looking for any kind of information, whether fact, story, hearsay, etc., for HUGO SCHLADOER born April 16, 1845, who was murdered by a man named Gustav Ehlers on May 16, 1891. Hugo was married to Marie Catherine (maiden name unknown) and the 1880 Kerr County census shows he had four daughters; Agnes, Adelheid (or Adelina), Bertha and Minna.

Marie Catherine Schladoer was born 5/9/1840 and died 6/13/1885, six years before Hugo's murder.

Hugo and Catherine are buried in the Quihi Community Cemetery in Medina County, Texas, next to their daughter Adelheid Schladoer Reitzer, her husband and their son. Since Adelheid would have probably had no connection with Quihi before her marriage in 1898, it is possible that she had her parent's graves moved before her death in 1955.

I have some of the Kerr County court records on the trial of Gustav Ehlers, and am hoping there is more information out there somewhere. Ask your grandparents!!

Thanks!

George and Idia Simpson

Robert Jackson — 3 Jan 2003 12:18:57 GMT

My name is Robert Jackson, I live in Cambridgeshire UK. My grandmother past away recently and I was going through some papers and found that I have relatives in Texas. The letter was rather old (dated April 20th 1947), their names were George and Idia Simpson. They used to run and live, in the "Old Ingram Second Hand Store" Old Ingram, Texas (telephone number was '47'). The discussion in the letter seemed to indicate that they where religious and perhaps you could put me in touch with the church or where the records are kept, there was also a picture dated 1953.

I don't even seem to be able to find Ingram, Texas (your surname was the same, possibly you know where it is).
I would appreciate all the help that you can give me in tracing my long lost relatives.
