We had a great
Coker/Boyd ancestry meeting on September 8 with Cathy,
Winnie, Mickey and Nita! My most
sincere thanks to all of these ladies for traveling here
to meet with everyone, and I hope we can all get
together and do this again sometime. What a nice
time we had getting to know one another, look at
pictures, and trade information, and as always, there
was not enough time!

Taylor Memorial Donations:
If you are a descendant of William Tom Taylor and Nettie Byrom
Taylor and would like to contribute a small donation to purchase
a marker for the grave of Neoma Jewell Taylor in Post, Texas,
please email me and let me know. Jewell was their first
child, and she died at age four of diptheria. We have
located her
unmarked grave and hope to get a marker there sometime
in 2008. Any amount, no matter how small, would be most
appreciated! Please send your donation by the end of
December 2007. Thanks!

Kindly let me know if
someone in our tree passes away. We will make that
information known here in any way that your family would
like, including the sharing of their obituary here.
Please consider adding information for their profile page
here as time permits, too. I will do my best to get
their information online as soon as possible, so that family
and friends may see it. My email link is found on the
"Feedback" link at left. I do require independent
confirmation of any deaths prior to posting information
here, and a quick call to the funeral home will be fine, if
you will share that information.
