Look-Up Request: 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.

Look-Up Request: 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

Look-Up Request: I am trying to find the names of all Zinns buried at Pioneer Rest. My brother-in-law found a book by Fort Worth Gen. Soc. about pioneer rest stating there were about 10. I know that Jacob Albert 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. site. Should they be there? Also, are there any more Zinns at Pioneer Rest? Thank you, Donna Mason
