Recently
the Museum was given a group of pictures from
the family of Thomas Stewart and wife Rosa Daley
Stewart. They had two known children,
Thomas,Jr., and Ledelle who married L. S.
Forester in Denton County. According to the
Denton City Death Records, Mrs. Rosa Stewart
died in 1947 and her body was sent to Fort Worth
for burial in Oakwood Cemetery. Thomas Stewart
died in 1907 and would assume that he is also
buried in Oakwood. Please check your records for
these two burials (and any other Stewarts buried
in Oakwood).
========================================
REPLY:
I found Rose (Rosa?), Thomas, Thomas Jr. and
apparently his wife. They are buried in Block
24 Lot 18. There are a total of forty three
Stewart's in the book. I have no way of
knowing who else might be related.
STEWART, Rose L., b. 12-13-1868, d. 3-22-1947,

STEWART, Thomas, b. 3-19-1865, d. 11-24-1907,

STEWART, Thomas Jr., b. 7-25-1889, d.

The only other information from the book is:
The child was only one day old and was
interred 8-6-1888. The cemetery may have
additional info, such as who purchased the
grave, but it is unlikely. Records from that
era were sparse, especially for infants. Their
phone is 817-624-3531.

Civil War veteran James Morrison (1835 - May 26,
1899) who served with Company G, 41st
Pennsylvania Infantry (12th Pa Reserves). His
wife was Matilda Hutchinson; the only child I
know about is son William (b. July 7, 1870). The
family moved from Harrisburg to Fort Worth @1870
or shortly thereafter. I do not know in which
cemetery James Morrison is buried. Thanks for

I may have found him.
MORRISON, James, b. 1838, d. 1899, interred
5-20-1899, buried Block 52 Lot 46 Space 4.
buried in the same Lot is:
MORRISON, Lillie, interred 12-10-1905.
James has a stone but Lillie does not. The
records don't even show which space she is
buried in. There may be 4 empty spaces in this
lot or unrecorded burials.
This is a S.P. Morrison buried in Pioneers
Rest who is a Confederate Veteran. May be a
connection here. Have you done a seach on our

Rob: I
was just wondering on this W.H. and Sarah Ellen
Davis tombstone info. that you sent me, if you
have any suggestions of where I could write for
an obituary. Of course I would have to find out
if 1904 or 1905 was the correct death date
first. I did try to call the Vickie you
suggested at Oakwood today but noone answered
the phone. The message said they were open from
7-3 and I called at 12:30 here so they should
still have been open even with the time
difference, but I will try again tomorrow. They
only had the one daughter Sarah Elizabeth Davis
who married N.H. Lasseter. Is there a Sarah E.
Lasseter or an N.H. Lasseter listed in the
Oakwood Cemetery? I don't have what the initials
N.H. stand for. Do you have the address of the
local library in Ft. Worth that might have
genealogical information? Thanks for being so
prompt and so helpful. Thanks so much Joy
Shreyer
========================================
REPLY:
The LASSITER's are on the adjacent lot to the
DAVIS's.
LASSITER, Sarah Elizabeth "Bettie", female age
95, b. 1869, d. 1-9-1965, interred 1-13-1965,
buried Block 28 in the east 1/2 of Lot 13
Space 2, resided El Paso, TX.
LASSITER, Newton Hance, b. 1860, d. 1954,
interred 11-27-1954, buried Block 28 in the
east 1/2 of Lot 13 Space 3.
LASSITER, Eliza Boswell, female, b. 1840, d.
4-16-1916, buried Block 28 in the east 1/2 of
Lot 13 Space 4.
No other burials are recorded in this lot. All
five of these graves (Davis & Lassiter)
have individual headstones.
Vicki was probably helping someone outside of
the office when you called. She is the only
person working in the office, so when she's
busy you get the machine.
Contact info for the library is on Page 1 of
our website. That's where I recommend you go
for obits.

DAVIS, W. H., b., 9-13-1820, d. 2-13-1905,
interred 2-14-1904, buried Block 28 in the
west 1/2 of Lot 13 between spaces 3 & 4 in
center of the lot. [If memory serves, the
records books showed interrment in 1904 while
the headstone shows death in 1905. That was
nine years ago.]

4-13-1920, interred 1920, buried Block 28, in
the west 1/2 of Lot 13 Space 5, resided 1008

The records don't show anyone else buried in
this six space lot. The remaining spaces could
be unused or could have unrecorded burials. If
you call Vickie at Oakwood 817-624-3531, she
might be able to tell you who the legal owner
of the Lot is.

I am trying to locate her obituary. She lived in
downtown Forth Worth since the early 1930's. She
was married to Banks Reynolds and I do not think
they had any children. I think her house was
eventually surrounded by office buildings but
she continued to live there. In her later years,
around 1996, she may have moved to the Houston
area and may have died there. I think her father
was William Oscar Barnes but I do not know her
mother. Any information would be greatly
