My Dad (Bennie Brooks) always said that he was buried at Shakespeare cemetery but he could never find the grave. His brother Homer Brooks looked also and couldn't find it. He said that he died of wounds that he had in the civil war. Do you have any idea which company he was in? Are you related to Ruby Sanders? She was my Dad's cousin.

My dad worked at the ranch. His name was Walter Raymond Philpott. I believe he was called "pee wee" or "ray" when he lived in New Mexico. I am think he was there in 1940's. I know a few things about him working at the ranch. I would like to hear from you about some stories an share. T

Alice Stewart:

I was married to Bob Moorheads oldest son Buck. I lived on the Alamo Hueco for a number of years. I would be glad to exchange pictures or stories about the old ranch. As a matter of fact I have been planning on writing stories and as much history as I can find on the ranch.

You might try the mortuaries listed at http://www.hidalgocountynewmexico.org/mort.html and if you get a death certificate with a date, you could try the papers. I believe the County Clerk has copies of all the old newpapers, but I doubt they could/would do a look-up w/o an exact date.

Good luck!

Big Wooden Windmill

delaplace35 — 2010-12-23 20:48:38Z

Does anyone remember seeing the big old wooden windmill with great big wooden wheel that was on the east side of the old road going from Lordsburg to Duncan? I wonder if anyone ever took a picture of it? I was always sorry that I didn't take a picture. If anyone knows of a picture of this old windmill, I'd love to have a copy of it. The last time I saw it, it was just a big pile of boards and a new metal windmill had taken it's place. I'll be waiting for a reply.

1950's Marriage Record Index Lookup

I am looking for the Marriage Record Index lookup nformation (when, where and record #) for

Melvin Leroy Horn, born April 1928 in Indiana
to
Mary Carroll Hays/Hayes, born 2 February 1938 in Bonham, Fannin County, Texas.

I was told that they marriaged in Lordsburg, Hidalgo County, New Mexico in the late 1950's, possibly before 1958.

Thank you, Roseholly

Re: lordsburg, GRANT, new mexico:

mzwhiz — 2010-04-11 22:26:18Z

Lordsburg was in Grant County until sometime in 1919. Per my 2 books on place names, there's never been a Lerdsburg. Those precincts were all in the southern part of Grant Count that was eventually made into Hidalgo County.

Sounds like the Census taker didn't know where he was? (1900 u s census says lerdsburg, or couldn't write.)

lordsburg, GRANT, new mexico:

mfarm — 2010-04-10 21:31:24Z

was lordsburg ever in grant county? was there really a place called LERDSBURG in grant county? i get that in some of the records for some of my ancestors. i would like to know. the 1910 u s census has lordsburg in grant county, and the 1900 u s census says lerdsburg, grant, nm. but it also says that this particular place is "Precincts 8, 16, 18, 20, 24 Lower Gila, Gold Hill, Black Hawk, Lordsburg, Red Rock, Grant, New Mexico Territory". i'm confused.

If unknown to you: Zola apparently died of complications of childbirth-there were twin boys born to her and Robert Hurley who did not survive: Donald who died Dec.10,1936,and Ronald who died the next day. (They are all buried in unmarked graves.)
Record of this can be found here:

Re: Cloverdale, New Mexico

janet_wasson — 2009-08-20 13:31:46Z

Cloverdale as it exists today would be considered a "ghost town". It was built as a farm/ranch town, and never had a population of more than about 200. Many Hughes families resided in Hidalgo county in the time frame you mention per census records-although it would have been Grant County pre-1919.

tanya19981 — 2009-08-19 18:52:45Z

My grandmother grew up in Cloverdale from about 1910-1925. I am planning a trip to New Mexico next summer. What can I expect to see in cloverdale? Any interesting places to go there? By the way, does anyone have any info on any Hughes that lived there at that time?

You are correct. I still have not deterimed why those links do not work but try this link to the cemetery listings.

Also if you like history about outlaws, this link will take you to a story I worked on for many years. I finally got to the truth after checking Arizona and NM death certficates and cemetery listings.

If you still can not view those links, send me an email jcnreno@charter.net (temp address)

I have a zerox of the 1947 telephone directory, and a few church records I could look in for your family name, but you didn't say who they are. The only wrecker service listed in that directory is Hidalgo Garage at 338 E. Railroad Ave. and the Motor Sales Co., also on Railroad Ave. There is a Joe's Garage on the Deming Highway.

Hello Nancy,

My father worked at the Lordsburg Wrecking Co. on Hwy. 70, which seems to have been almost right in town. He also roomed at a ranch outside town. Time period: late 1930s and very early 1920s. Would you happen to have any photos of the area that you could share. I have only a few--the Wrecking Co.--and would like to find more of the area.

My turn to apologise......
Please email me at rockartgal2@earthlink.net
There is a MyFamily website that has some others who are researching on Rhoda Lewis....etc.
Not my direct line...but think you would find more information there.
The MyFamily site is a private site......and I can invite you there.....but would like you to email me and then I can just copy and paste your email into the invite....
I'm not sure if the Jeremiah you are talking about is the one who married Frances North.....or another Jeremiah.........
Anyway, let me know if you want an invite to that site.......lots of information on it. The invite will come from MyFamily, has a user name and password you have to use to log on......and it will be the Taney County family site...as I said it is private....so will need your email address.

Dear Nancy,

I am trying to join the DAR. I have the marriage certificate from Washington Co, MO for Albert Lewis and Rhoda Brickey, which says they were married in the presence of their parents. I also have the Land Tracts which shows that Jeremiah Brickey and Albert's lands were near eachother. Raymond's book lists Rhoda as a daughter- which is common knowledge- but do we have any proof of who Jeremiah's daughters are ? Any obituaries that mention their names ? Thanks for any help you may be able to give.

Sheriff Lord, 1870s

There is a Sheriff Lord that is referenced by western movies and writers and it is our understanding that this character was a real person. I'm seeking information on Sheriff Lord and his antecedents. I'm not sure where to start as some avenues I've tried produced nothing. Anyone with information, if you would contact me, I'd appreciate it.

Re: What's new: Cemetery Surveys

nanhow2 — 2007-12-23 21:46:12Z

I haven't done any cemetery surveys, but am in the process of putting together (for the Hidalgo Co. website and the Lordsburg Hidalgo County Library)....a bio of the lives of the people I knew at Lordsburg, Steins, Gary and some of the Railroaders....it isn't a lot, but I spent 10 years of my life in the railroad towns, and grandparents lived at Lordsburg for many years, as well as Aunts and Uncles and some others who are buried at the Mountain View Cemetery.
I will be donating what I come up with to the website that Pat Bennett maintains,as well as to the County Lib. there in Lordsburg. Don't know if this is what you are looking for. Find-A-Grave is a great place to submit the cemetery information to as well...I have found several relatives just by going there for information.
Thanks, Nancy

I'm rather behind on my e-mail and I apologize for being so slow to respond. Please do contact me as we might be of the same line. The Brickey line is part of my maternal grandfather's people (my grandfather is Robert C. Eades). I've not been actively working that line (Eades/Brickey) as I have discovered a relative who has already researched it and I hope to secure a copy of that. And it's that researched copy that will help me to better determine where some of us fit on the family bush. Thanks.
