Look-Up Request: I am in desperate need of some data on a ALDEN COFFEY. He appears to be related somehow to my grandparents. He was a doctor and had the Alden Coffey Clinic in Ft Worth in the 1940's. My grandfather passed away at his clinic in 1944. Negative replies are as helpful as positive in this case. Thank you for your time and efforts.

REPLY:

I did not find him in Oakwood's records.

Look-Up Request: Dear Rob,
Would like to make the following look-up request, please:
My GG grandfather T.J. DOBBS [died 25 Jan 1908] is buried at Oakwood Cemetery. His first wife Anna Buford WHITE died in 1890 - wondered if she might have been buried elsewhere in the same cemetery [perhaps no marker]? Thanks very much for your time and help.

REPLY:

If Anna is buried at Oakwood, there is no record of it. The only other DOBBS buried there is Gladys.

There are a number of DOBBS found in Parker County. Have you checked there?

Look-Up Request: Could you tell me if there are any books out on Rose Hill? I know it's called Shannon's now, but I haven't seen any pubications with it. Thanks

REPLY:

It is still called Rose Hill Memorial Park. It is also referred to as Shannon's Rose Hill as it is owned by Shannon's Funeral Home. The only thing that has been in print is what the DAR copied in the mid-1950's. They only listed stones where the date of birth was before something like 1875 or so.

I have personally copied about a third of the stones in Rose Hill. I have done the older sections and have finished over 7600 graves to date. I can check my records or you can contact the cemetery office directly.

E-Mail: ccs5@flash.net
City/State: OK
Look-Up Request: Please advise if the following are buried in Oakwood Cemetery:
Stagner, John
Stagner, Dora
Stagner, Martha

REPLY:

That surname appears only once in Oakwood's records. There is no stone and the given name was not recorded in the books. The only information given is that it was a female who was interred 10-18-1898 and buried in Block 1 Space 5. That is in the oldest part of the cemetery. The grave location and the missing first name leads me to believe that this may have been an infant. I wish I had more for you.

Look-Up Request: I know that George W & Mary A Flenner are buried at Oakwood Cemetery. Can you tell me if any of their 3 sons, Thomas H, Francis M or George B Flenner are buried there also.

There are only four FLENNER's in Oakwood's records; Abe, George W., Mrs. George W. and Tom. All are buried in Block 6 Lot 27. This is in middle of the original New City Cemetery, the oldest part of Oakwood. There are no headstones for these folks and the records have no dates or other information on them.

-Rob.
