Editha
Artelisse Delano died in Fort Worth in 1903 and is
supposedly buried in Pioneers Rest Cemetery. Her
son-in-law, my tightwad grandfather, B. P.
Hervey,probably never put up a stone. But he was
notified sometime in the 1940's that a road was to
be put in the cemetery and Editha's grave needed
to be moved. He never did this and my grandmother
went to her grave not knowing what became of her
mother's body. I would like to know if there is
record of Editha Artelisse Delano being buried
there. If there is no stone, would the sexton or
cemetery association know where all the bodies are
buried?
In another matter, my grandmother, on the 1900
Tarrant County Census, stated that she was the
mother of 4 children, 3 living. Would there be a
record of a Hervey infant who died before 1900,
buried at Pioneers Rest?
========================================
REPLY:
There is no record of Edith A Delano or of any
Hervey. Records compiled include the cemetery
association's records of burials there. |

Ms.
Knox. Before my father's death, he told me my
great grand father, Frank Dixon is buried at
Pioneers Rest. I don't know the exact date of
his death, but I believe it was in the mid
1920's. He was born in Palestine TX in 1856.
Thank you so much for your efforts.

Dear Ms.
Knox,
I'm looking for the obituary for a Mr. Ernest
Steger who passed on 3/21/97 in Tarrant county
Texas.He was born on 3/19/1937 andI believe he
may be my uncle, my father's long lost
brother,as I have records showing that my
grandfather(whom I or my father never knew)was
in New York on or around the time of Mr.
Steger's birth,his,(my grandfather's )name was
Ernst F. Steger and I was told he died in texas
so you can see the coincidence, so if you can
shed some light on this for me I would really
appreciate it.Thank You,
Robert Steger

Zinn and wife Sarah are Block 3, Lot 42. It is
my understanding that he was a chaplain in the
civil war as well. Also, John Forsythe Zinn is
buried at Pioneer Rest with Zella and Minnie M.
John was a Corp. in Company K 7th Tex Cavalry. I
did not see these names on the Pioneer Rest Vet.
