He does have a Find a Grave page, two actually, both with photos of the headstone. The headstone has no dates on it whatsoever, so I'm not sure where the 1924 is coming from.

Re: Where can I find an obituary notice?

What you have heard is true. Susan Katherine Craft and Spencer M. Smith are first cousins. Susan married Gilford Boswell Turner, brother of Spencer's wife, Sealeta Ware Turner.

What kind of records are you looking for? How can I help?

Rebecca, thank you for the leads on the newspapers. My family line comes through James McDonald Smith (Winn Parish), who is supposed to be Tobias Smith's son and Leah Smith Craft's older brother. I've been told that your g-grandmother Susan was a cousin to Spencer McDonald Smith -- James' son and who married Sealeta W. Turner. I'm trying to find records to confirm this. Thanks again!

Re: Where can I find an obituary notice?

rllunceford1 — 2013-04-24 16:18:24Z

Susan Katherine (Craft) Turner is my Maternal Great-Grandmother. I don't have an obituary, but I do have a copy of her Death Certificate. It says she was born Feb. 8, 1850 in Mississippi and died April 23, 1923, Dry Prong, LA, and is buried at Oak Grove Cemetery, Grant Parish, LA.
Her parents: Whit Craft (William Whitmel Craft) and Lier Smith (Leah Smith). I think the newspapers in 1923 would have been The Colfax Chronicle (Grant Parish) and The Daily Town Talk, Alexandria, (Rapides Parish).

Thank you for sharing this information. Figured I might check newspaper microfiche records the next time I'm in LA. Do you happen to know the names of newspapers at this time (mid 1920's) where an obit might be published?

Thank you so much. I heard from my cousin that city hall had burned down during sometime and all records may have been lost but hoping a family member that I don't know may be serching as well. You did give me new info on Lige Nichols. Thanks again.

Re: Millie (penniewell or pennywell or pennewell) williams

I could find Pennewell on the census in Grant Parish, not the other spellings.
So good luck on that surname.

Vallie Dendy Armstrong was married (2nd) to my cousin, Eartie King of Selma.

Vallie is buried in Georgetown Cemetery, along with both husbands, Earl Armstrong and Eartie King and daughter, Millie Armstrong Parnell.

Mellie “Big” Armstrong was known as "Big". She was twin sister of Millie, known as "Tee-Wee".
Mellie lived on Hwy 165, a few miles South of Selma.
Birth: Sep. 19, 1932 Death: Apr. 29, 2007, Alexandria Rapides Parish Louisiana, USA
Mrs. Henderson was a homemaker and a resident of Dry Prong.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Leon Henderson; two sisters, Dorothy Nell Dugas and Millie Parnell; and a grandson, Colin Henderson.
She was survived by one daughter, Teresa Lynett Whitehead and husband Jimmy of Dry Prong; two sons, Gary Leon Henderson and wife Susan of Lake Village, AR, and Dennis Earl Henderson and wife Marilyn of Pollock; 9 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren.

Family links: Spouse: Leonas L Henderson (1930 - 1989)

Re: Corbitt/Cook Families

pastwindows — 2012-06-18 03:20:57Z

I am interested in info about Joy Foster Cook. My husband's grandfather was John Foster Cook born 1896 in Sabine Parish, LA. His family was having a hard time and William D and Mary Carter offered to take care of him until they were able to take care of him. They got him when he was two months old. Sometime after 1910 the Cook family wanted him back and by this time the Carter's didn't want to give him back so they moved one night to Texas. The Carter family lived in the same area that William Morris and Amanda lived and I believe went to the same church. Are there any stories about a missing son in the family? Another researcher noted the same middle name and suggested that he might be out of wedlock son of Joy Foster. Thanks, Selida

I'm looking for anyone who knows anything about the Roget Family of Louisiana. What I have is a Philip O'Neal (1786-1857) in La, married to Suzette Roget (1790-1804) in La. I have her parents as Louis Francois Roget (1744-1804) in Canada and La, married to Marie Louise Landry (1750-1804) in Canada and La. I have her parents Basile Landry (1727-1788) married to Bridgette Boudreau (1728-1786). I have her parents as Pierre Boudrot (1693-1769), married to Madeleine Hebert (1694-1760).

Bonner Family Grant Parish, LA (Hiram Seaborn and Susan Leckie Bonner)

hginger1962 — 2012-05-11 04:50:55Z

Hello,

I'm looking for any information on the children of Hiram Seaborn Bonner (1/10/1858-1/17/1936) and his wife Susan Leckie (10/30/1864-7/22/1953) of Grant Parish, LA.

The known children I have are as follows, I would appreciate any information on the spouses and children of the following individuals, especially John Stephen Bonner.

Hiram Alexander Bonner 1888-1975 married Annie Casey
John Stephen Bonner 1890-1947 married ?
Louisa Catherine "Carrie" Bonner 1895-? married ?
William Franklin Bonner 1897-? married ?
Gertrude Daisy Bonner 1900-? married ?
Elisha Lomax Bonner 1902-? married ?
Jefferson Bonner ?-? married?
Susie Bonner 1907-? married ?
Infant Bonner 1887-?
Alice Kate 1893-1910 married ?

Like I said, I am especially interested in any information on John Stephen and his wife and children. I believe this is the same John Bonner found in the 1930 Tacoma, Pierce, Washington Census as "divorced" with a 15 year old daughter named Geneva.

Thanks in advance!

Hello Susan,
I don't have a Johnny Carlisle from Bogolusa, LA in my records. Do you know who are his ancestors in MS and where in MS they may have been located? Too little info to know if we are related.

My Carlisle ancestors, Thomas Carlisle, with sons John B. and James Carlisle and their families, came from NC/GA to Lawrence Co., MS before 1820 and settled there. Thomas and son James died in Lawrence Co. in the 1840's. John B. died there in the 1860's. Some of their descendants scattered to other counties in MS, some went to LA, some to AR, some to TX.

I have posted to this message board info on my direct ancestor, John A. Carlisle, (son of John B. Carlisle) and his family in Grant Parish.
John A. left Lawrence Co., MS for LA in the 1840's with brothers, Thomas M., William and James M. Carlisle. Thomas M. and his family settled in Bienville Parish, LA. William and family, James M. and wife, and John A. settled for a while in Claiborne Parish, LA. James M. and wife, Huldah Prestridge, died there (or maybe in Union Co., AR) in about 1859. In the early 1860's, William, wife Sarah, and family moved to Angelina Co., TX; John A., wife Narcissa, and family moved to Rapides Parish, LA, where they are recorded in 1870, then they moved into Grant Parish, LA.

This may not tie in with your Carlisle ancestors at all. Let me know if anything here "rings a bell" and we'll try to investigate further whether or not we might be related.

Best wishes in your search,
Rebecca Lovell Lunceford

Please email me @ Kellie460@aol.com or you may call 832-451-7929 and give me a phone # that I may call and I will pay for the call. You are in the family tree that I have been trying to work on and I would love to talk to you. Your mother was my grandfather's sister. And if I am right, you had a brother Denny that was killed in action in Vietnam. Please email me or provide a # that I may call. Thank you for answering on this board. I started this tree in 2004 and have not been able to get that much information on my family. I was told that Sarah Jane died in an accident concerning the early auto's.I have only been able to find three of the six children between James and Sarah Jane. I really would like to talk to you. I have the next two days off. Tuesday 9/6 and Wed 9/7/2011. Thanks again you have made my day

Sarah Jane Coker Webb's death notice appeared in The Alexandria Weekly Town Talk on Saturday 04/19/1890, page 3, column 7.

Died:
Webb At Poland, Rapides Parish, La. on Wednesday April 5th, 1890 Mrs Sarah Webb, age 27 years.

I believe she died of burns when her clothe caught on fire while washing.

James also died at Poland in Rapides Parish. I believe he died from pneumonia.

James Early is buried in Cheneyville as is his wife, Ida Beavers Webb. Look them up on Findagrave.com.

Sallie Sarah Webb is buried in Lake Charles with her second husband, Franklin Arthur Lancaster. Look them up on Findagrave.com also.

I do not have any information on the other children at this time.

I am Danny L Johnson. My mother was Mavis Elaine Webb and married Dallas L Johnson.

I hope this helps a little.

Alfred James Lee

kathyduffy54 — 2011-07-26 20:37:46Z

Would like information on Alfred James Lee- Born about 1825. Possibly married to Martha Freeman. They had 2 children- Camely Elizabeth Lee born 1845 and Henry James Lee born 1847.Who were his parents. He is my 3x Great Grandfather.

Coutee

19Williams77 — 2011-06-24 15:27:31Z

My gr-gr grandfather was John or Ed Coutee probably born between 1869 & 1876. From what vague oral history that I have, he died in the late 1940's around Wisner,Franklin Parish, LA. Some say that he was called Ed but his headstone in Central Cemetery says "John Coutee". There is nothing on the headstone other than a name. The headstone next to his says "Liz Coutee". He had one daughter named Annie, born in 1896 near Boyce, LA, who married Oliver (O.C.)Mercer. Annie's mother may have died around the early 1900's and Liz was probably a later marriage. It is possible that Annie had a cousin named Cora Calhoun. I have been unable to obtain any other information or verify the information that I do have. Any scrap of information may be helpful and would be greatly appreciated. Please feel free to email me directly. Thank you! Terry

Re: Research Grant Parish

LaVettaBoone — 2011-04-29 15:04:54Z

Do you do research at the court house? I know they didn't do death certificates before 1910, but hoping they may still have some records of death. My great grandfather (Anthony Wilkins) died between 1900 - 1910. He is listed on the 1900 census and my great grandmother (Tena Wilkins)is a widow on the 1910 census.
Also I can't find my great grandfather on the 1870 census. He is in Grant Parish on the 1880 census living with an uncle (Wash Brandon)saying he was born in LA and parents born in AL. I found a Thomas Wilkins on the 1870 census with a son about the same age, but name is Esan. I'm sorta thinking this could be him, only because my grandfather's name was Thomas. But I can't find this family after 1870.
We are African American. What is your fee? I would appreciate any help.

Re: She Sarah Adeline Webb Facundus buried in Grant Parish?

Hi Cheryl, Thanks for the information. I have seen my Great Grandfather's John David Walter Facundus grave and have been there. I didn't know there was a unmarked grave beside his. I know he remarried after her death. Thank you again for that information.

Re: She Sarah Adeline Webb Facundus buried in Grant Parish?

guangxi831 — 2011-02-02 22:16:49Z

Dianne,

I don't recall seeing a single Facundus in Grant or Winn Parish. But looking at the cemetery records from that area, there is a SARAH A. WEBB (born 1867, wife of Hile Dake) buried in the Winnfield Cemetery. You can see the tombstone on Findagrave....

http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=da...;

Perhaps this is the Sarah that you saw, definately not your Sarah.

Have you checked to see if the Live Oak Methodist Church has records of the burials in that cemetery. First burials there were prior to Sarah's death. Perhaps she is in the unmarked grave on row 13 next to her husband J.D. Walton Facundus.

Good luck!

Re: Needing marriage records look-ups for parents names, please!

aharris668 — 2010-11-13 06:47:21Z

I don't have the exact year when Louisiana marriage license information requirements changed but it was sometime between 1910 and 1915 when applicants began being required to list parents (whether living or dead) and previous spouses. Prior to that, a father's name might appear on a marriage bond or as a witness but was not identified as parent.
Did your person live long enough for a Social Security application? Parental names are required there.

Re: Needing marriage records look-ups for parents names, please!

patriciastaley223 — 2010-11-09 17:22:30Z

Because of the confusion as to if he was born an Anderson or Brown the death certificate wasn't much help since someone else was giving the info. I figured the correct father's name would be given on the marriage certificate since the groom was giving the info. and would know who his father was.

Thank you for your reply!

Have you found an answer to your question yet? If not, you may want to try Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness (www.raogk.org). There's a volunteer listed for Grant Parish who takes photos of tombstones.
