1. BARTLETT
Feb. 27, 2003
I am the great-grandson of Albert Bartlett. My grandfather was Raymond Lewis Bartlett. You
have him listed as Raymond M. (L?) Bartlett living in Garland Texas. His middle name is
Lewis, and he did indeed live in Garland. I'm new to genealogy research, and your webpage was
very helpful and informative. Thank you for all your research and the time and effort you put
into the webpage.

Yes, my grandfather is the same Raymond Bartlett that you have listed on
your Bartlett Family History web page. His middle name was Lewis. The only
thing that I know about his sister, Imogene, is that my dad called her Aunt
Gene. The next time I see my dad, I'll ask him about her.
Here's what I do know...
In 1941, Clarice Bartlett Brown filed an affidavit issuing Raymond a new
birth certificate so that he could join the army. They lied about his
birthday by two years, so he would be 21 and old enough to join. (His real
birthday was June 16, 1922, but they put 1920.) He was wounded in Europe
during World War II, and received an honorable discharge while still in the
hospital. He married Tommie Colleen Farris (born May 13, 1923 in Paris, TX)
on July 1, 1945 in Miller County, AR. He became vice president of
Strickland Systems, a trucking company, and they moved from Arkansas to
Jacksonville, FL and then to Garland, TX. They retired to a farm on Highway
19 between Canton and Athens in Henderson County, Texas. He passed away on
June 8, 1983, and she passed away on September 15, 2001 (both in Athens,
TX). My brother and I called her Mimi and him Granddaddy.
They had two children: Elizabeth Judy Bartlett (she went by Judy) and
Raymond Lewis Bartlett II (they didn't want him to be called Junior, so they
named him the Second). Judy called Raymond "Buddy" when she was a toddler,
and the nickname stuck. He was known as Buddy Bartlett by most of his
friends, similar to William Isiah's nickname "Bud".
Judy married Richard King Campbell and had a son named Richard Keith
Campbell.
Raymond II (born November 12, 1947 in Texarkana, TX) married Teresa Marie
Shelby (born November 12, 1949 in Benton, AR) on August 8, 1968 in Little
Rock, AR. Their birthdays were on the same day two years apart. He became
an ordained Baptist minister and was the pastor of a church in Arlington,
TX. They had two boys: Raymond Lewis Bartlett III (born August 22, 1970 in
Dallas, TX) and Bryan Wayne Bartlett [me] (born September 28, 1972 in
Athens, TX). My mother, Teresa, passed away on June 19, 1994, and my dad
now lives in Athens, TX.
My brother, Raymond III, married Deborah Victoria Meeks on August 7, 1993 in
Jackson, TN. They have three children: Randall David Bartlett, Laura Marie
Bartlett, and Jacob Daniel Bartlett; and they now live in Milan, TN.
I married Stephanie Ann Moser (born December 8, 1975 in Little Rock, AR) on
August 10, 1996 in Little Rock, AR. We have two children: Heather Marie
Bartlett and Jonathan Tyler Bartlett. We live in Midlothian, TX (south of
Dallas).
Thank you for writing me back. I hope you get to feeling better and that
everything turns out to be okay with your lungs.
Keep in touch,
Bryan
