Collier, Smith
Searching for family of Susan J. (SMITH) COLLIER (1874-1963), wife of John Calvin COLLIER. Both are buried in Copperas Cemetery, Kimble County. Any information would be appreciated. James Pylant datatrace@earthlink.net
Wagnon, Smith
I have a been looking for confirmation on where my Great Grandfather J Thomas Wagnon was born, died; what my Great Grandmother's maiden name was (so I can find her family) He was born on 06/04/1846 and died 03/24/1891. He was married to Julia Eugenia Smith and she was born 03/11/1856 and died 04/19/1926. I do think she remarried a man named C W Smith after my Great Grandfather died. My Grandmother's name is Vela T Wagnon and she was born in Junction City TX (I am assuming Kimble County ... parent county Bexar) on 07/19/1887. So far the only thing I have been able to find is an 1900 United States Federal Census on CW Smith's home was Justice Precinct 1, Kimble, Texas. Ancestry.com shows CW Smith as head, spouse is Julia and household members are Vela T Wagnon, Pierce H Smith, and Mary J Smith. So I think my Great Grandfather J (?) Thomas Wagnon met Julia Eugenia Smith in or around Kimble TX.
  I would like to order marriage, death certificates for J Thomas Wagnon and Julia Eugenia?. My Grandmother Vela T Wagnon married my Grandfather William Isaiah DeWitt in Juction TX on 11/13/1904 and I would like to order the marriage certificates for them too.
  Can you help me by sending the correct ordering forms or pointing me in the right direction? Thanks, Bernie dmthach@sbcglobal.net
