I am looking for an obituary for Eddie Ruth Ferguson who died Feb. 1, 2008. She lived in Conroe so I would think she died there also. I would appreciate it if someone would look up this obit and email me a copy. Thanks so much!
khugo63@yahoo.com
Thank you for sending me this. I would have told you I'd googled everything possible to find his name online but I did not come up with this. Thanks, Sandra
I didn't find an obit for him, but he was mentioned in a Batts obit from 2002. It may help you find someone who has one.
Joe Mike Batts
June 25, 1931 — May 7, 2002
NAVASOTA — Services for Joe Mike Batts, 70, of Navasota are set for 11:30 a.m. Thursday at Christ Our Light Catholic Church.
The Rev. Paul Felix will officiate. Burial will be in the Oakland Cemetery.
Mr. Batts died Tuesday in Bryan.
He was born in Navasota and operated Batts Fertilizer & Spreading from 1970 to 2002. He graduated from Texas A&M University in 1954 after transportation school in Fort Eustace, Va., and was active in the Army Reserve for eight years. From 1965-82, he was the Grimes County ambassador for the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo, and he was active in the Grimes County Fair. He was a milk producer from 1958-92 and served on the board of the of South Texas Milk Producers from 1960-64. He was a Catholic.
Survivors include his wife, Shirley Batts of Navasota; four sons and two daughters-in-law, Michael Batts of Houston, Gregg Batts of Glendale, Calif., Ronnie and Amber Morris of Bryan and Randy and Evangela Morris of Plantersville; a daughter, Janie Lynn Hayes of Burlington; two brothers-in-law and a sister-in-law, Ferol Duke of The Woodlands and Harry and Elaine Shipley of Pewaukee, Wis.; two sisters and brothers-in-law, Clara Jane and Ralph Yaklin and Barbara Ann and Tony Dietz, all of Riviera; his mother-in-law, Mary Sue Shipley of Waco; six grandchildren; and a number of nieces, nephews and other relatives.
seeking an obit or other information on Ferol A. Duke who passed away in January as I cannot locate an obit, burial place etc. Per SS Death index his last residence was Spring, TX. Ferol's grandmother was my grt-gm's sister I found last summer, but time I posted in June the next thing I knew someone shared in Jan he had just passed away. It would be helpful to email those related to him but if someone could point me toward an obit even, that would possibly hold new clues for me. From info provided by the lady who told me he had passed away...his wife's name was Mary Jo; they had a dau Linda and grandsons Scott & Brian Lively. If anyone might know these people and would ask them if they'd mind contacting me, I would so appreciate it, Sandra Wortham
Hoping to find a marriage date in Montgomery County for Maxwell Douglas "Max" Griffin and Mary Eva Holcomb. The wife's name may be shown as Mary Eva Welch as she was previously married to Samuel Wilson Welch. This marriage would be about 1940-1942.
Thanks,

i am a decendant of william edseil walker. he is my grt.grandfather. his son marion frances was my grandfather and james lee walker b.1882 was my dad. he was 90 yrs.old when he died in 1972.
I am researching my g-g-great grandmother's Hovis family.
Her name was Eliza A. Hovis (b. 1849) & she was married to Edward D. HOLLIS (b.1850). They came to Willis, Montgomery County Texas from Chattooga, Georgia.
Her mother was Ellen Hovis.
I have recently seen the names - P L Hovis, R E & family.
Would anyone have any information on these people ?
Please contact me. Thank you,
P. Adams
Hello. I saw Montgomery TX in the keywords of your post. My name is Floyd Kellar my fathers name is John R Kellar and my grandfathers name is John C Kellar and they are from Montgomery. Not sure if there is a connection but I would like to know if there is. Feel free to message me back anytime
Another researcher recently sent me a 1893 article referencing D.M. Linton of Cotton Gin, Cherokee County, Texas. I believe this is Drucilla Murray Linton.
Even though this post is quite old, if there are any descendants of this line that are still researching, please contact me.
I am not related.
