There are several Boggess family members buried in the Kaufman City Cemetery- Bennett, Fannie, HT, Mary, Nannie and Rolley. I am working on enumerating this cemetery for findagrave.com. I try to take pictures of each stone as I enumerate. May take a year to finish enumerating the cemetery since it is so huge but those are all the Boggess family members I have found so far. If entering the cemetery from Washington street they are in the section on your right. Here is the link to Bennett Boggess page-
http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=bo...;. When you are finished looking at his page click on the link on the left that says "Find all Boggesses in Kaufman City Cemetery" and you will see links to the other family members.

Actually I can't take credit for all the work-I have only added a few hundred enumerations so far. A woman named Marie had already listed a lot of the enumerations for this cemetery. We have been keeping in touch and we hope between the 2 of us we can eventually get everyone listed- starting with the older burials.

The findagrave memorials do not belong to any one certain person or organization. Anyone can add pictures to the memorial pages. You can add the Douglass pics or you can email them to me at julieo28@hotmail.com and I can add them. Are you a child or grand child of any of them? Let me know if you are because you can become the administrator of the Douglass pages if you want to. Marie had listed most of the Douglass family members. If you decide you want to be administrator just contact Marie or myself, who ever is in charge of that persons page.

Also do you have bio info you would like to add to any of them? Or live pics? I love pages with lots of info. That is one reason I love this web site.

Email me if you have questions. And thanks so much for your offer :).
