Obituary Look up for: Arthur Dee Mitchell:14 July 1882 to 15 Dec. 1972

tommytbird94 — 2009-09-10 02:51:17Z

I would like an obituary look up for Arthur Dee Mitchell: 1882-1972. I believe he was born in Alvarado, Johnson Co. Texas and he died in Dallas, Texas.

He is buried in the Restland Memorial Park. I have his death certificate. He was the owner of "Mitchell's Grocery Store." His mother was: Mary Rebecca Boshears-Mitchell. One of his brothers worked in the store as well. His name was William Jefferson Mitchell but he died in the mid 1960's.

I do not know how to get this information. I am learning as I go on ancestry.com

Re: Eli Riley Birk Huffman / Rebecca Ellis

I think it was only the McCaleb family who was in Alabama. The Huffmans were in Garrard Co., Ky before going to Clinton, Ill. where Riley was born. I would love to have a copy of your picture of Riley. Mine was taken from his big portrait. I gave copies from it to several of his grandchildren. I am wondering if it is the same one. My e-mail address is lllight@aol.com. Please contact me.

I am the great, great granddaughter of Riley Huffman & Rebecca Ellis. My great grandmother, Mary Ann Huffman, was 4 or 5 years old when she watched him leave on a black horse with his black hair bouncing off his shoulders. She said all he left her was his portrait. I have a picture copied from that portrait. I wonder if it is the same one you have. I gave copies to several of his grandchildren years ago. When I visited them they did not know about Rebecca and were shocked when I showed them the picture and marriage record. My e-mail is lllight@aol.com. Contact me.

Hello, Bill Bost;
My Walters family were from West Bell County & East Coryell County, along the west boundary of presen t Ft Hood. That is home territory of my Turner kin, namely July Turner, my Grandmother, wife of my Grandfather William Ernest (Bill) Walters who was b. on Cow House Creek in 1853. His father was Anthony Wayne Walters, who owned a Horse-Ranch in Coryell Co. Texas in the 1850s-60s-& 70s.
July Turner died at a young age in her 30s abt 1898 camped along a creek. She developed "severe headaches" which were unusual for her. It may have been in the local papers of the time. How do I check or find out? Can you help? Thanks.

Re: Willie Walter Haynes

harmsgirl — 2008-03-16 05:00:27Z

Thank you so much for replying. I am still not sure it is the same person or not. I have been told my ggrandfather Walter Willie Haynes (or Willie Walter)'s father was named Thomas Jefferson Haynes and that W. W. was born in Belton, Bell Co., Texas. That is all I know. I know his birthday was listed as 27 Jun 1881 on his Draft Registration Card.

I have heard that the court house in Belton burned and all the records with it.

I am sorry I don't have more info. This one has had me stumped for years.

Any other information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Again, thank you for replying.

Re: Willie Walter Haynes

ZoannaCurry — 2008-03-16 03:00:25Z

Hi Kim, I don't know if we are researching the same person, but here is the info on my grandfather. Thomas Jefferson Haynes was born Feb 23, 1882 in Bell County, Ding Dong, Texas, located between Killeen and Florence, Texas, on the family farm. His father was Wm. Parmenas Haynes and his mother was Sara Elizabeth "Sallie" Gould Haynes. Supposedly, Thomas Jefferson fathered a child by a black lady and I am not sure of the date, probably around early 1900's. He was married and began his white family in 1904 or 1905. If this is the same person you are searching for, pleas let me know. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Zoanna Curry

Re: Kuykendall Cemetery Bell Co near Prairie Dell

mbrowder53190 — 2008-02-15 17:12:18Z

Well, this will most likely be of little help, but here goes.
Prairie Dell is between Austin and Waco. It is only a small spot in the road about 45 miles north of Austin directly on IH35 (the main throughway). If you are going south from Waco, you will find Prairie Dell just south of the small town of Salado. If you are going north from Austin, you will find it just north of the tiny town of Jarrell. It is located on the west side of the highway. There is a small church there. And just recently a pizza placed opened. Someone there may have some info for you.
Good Luck!

Old post so not sure there will be any response. My great-great grandmother was Mary Jane McCaleb from Alabama whose father was from Scotland. She married Eli Riley Huffman and had one son Henry Huffman. Family lore has it that Eli Riley was an indian fighter and then a Texas Ranger. Left Alabama in an oxcart after Civil War (not sure if this was both or only Mary Jane's family??) I do have a good picture of Eli Riley Huffman and may have one of Mary Jane. My grandmother, Winnie Wilson, passed away at the age of 88 6 years ago and I am sorry to say I did not write down the stories she passed down.

John Northington Family, 1880s

jcsaylor_1 — 2006-11-28 03:55:20Z

Is anyone kin to John Northington who was living in Bell County during the 1880 census? He and his wife, Mary Elizabeth Goode, also took care of a couple of children with the name Wright (They were Mary's sister's kids).
I have been looking for the graves of John W. Northington and Mary Elizabeth, as well as her father
Hezekiah Goode. Hezekiah died June 25, 1881 in Bell County. I have not been able to find any of the graves, or a document for their deaths. I am especially interested in finding out about Hezekiah.
The Northington family might have inherited the Goode bible, which would have his death documented. If a bible is found somewhere, I would like to get a photocopy of the family page if possible. Thanks.

Re: Willie Walter Haynes

2006-10-23 15:23:51Z

I don't know who his parents were other than the fact that I have been told his dad's name was Thomas Jefferson Haynes. I think he had a couple of brothers.

Re: Willie Walter Haynes

2006-10-04 16:09:52Z

I had been told Willie Walter Haynes was born in Bell Co., so yes, that is why I posted it to this list. I have since been told he was born in Polk Co., but have nothing on which to base that other than a cousin's word.

Where ever he was born he moved to Walker Co., by 1900. Yes, I know Willie Walter and Rosa's death dates and burial places. I am sure the death certificate can give me that information, but I am not sure I can obtain the death certificate without going to look for it myself and that is not possible as I live in Virginia.

Yes, I would like a look up for WW birth, death and marriage information if anyone can do that for me.

Thanks
Kim

Re: Willie Walter Haynes

2006-10-03 04:45:15Z

I did check the census records and found him as you said in Walker Co. as early as 1900. Found that he and wife Rosa are buried at Farris Cemetery in southern Walker Co. He died in 1933 and she in 1955. I noticed you have requested a volunteer to look up their marriage license which should be in 1901.
I would like to ask why you posted a query for Bell county? Do you have information that Walter was born in Bell? I did pull up his WW I draft registration card and it only gives his birthday as June 27, 1881 but not the place.
It is possible that his death certificate might yield the place in Texas where he was born and also the parents' names. If you wish, I can put you on my list to look it up next time I'm at my local library.

Can you give us a little more information on your ancestor? Do you know his parents or siblings' names or where any of them were born/married? Where did W.W. Haynes marry and die? How did you learn his birthdate?

I am looking for any information on what happened to Julius Fredrick Aiken son of Herman Aiken. I am told that he died when my grandmother was 3 years old but am wondering why?
Can anyone help me with this?

There are other Tweedles who married in Bell county during 1850-1881, if you are interested.
