My great grandfather Francis David Scott POND is buried in
IOOF cemetery in Colorado City. I have no knowledge of him being a Civil War Vet,
yet he is listed as such as is his brother John Broadway POND.
Can someone tell me where this info was obtained? Is there perhaps a marker on his
grave. If someone could check the cemetery for me I need to verify his wife, Mary Susan PISTOLE POND is buried next to him. I saw a list
from that cemetery one time and she was not listed, however I have folder from funeral
home saying she was buried there. In fact I have quite a few relatives buried
there. At this time I am recovering from a broken ankle and won't be visiting any
cemeteries soon. I don't have the dates in front of me but I think FDS POND died in
early twenties and Miss MOLLY died middle thirties. Are
there any other POND or PISTOLE researchers out there? Be glad to share any info I
have as well as pictures.

I am a direct descendent of Francis David Scott POND who
appears on your list as a veteran of the Civil War buried in Colorado City. I do not
have that information, nor do I recall it ever being mentioned in the family. He was
born in 1848, a little young, but maybe not. His brother John
Broadway POND, a Baptist minister was older and is also listed. Would be
grateful for details on their service and where this info was obtained.

I have a baby picture made on a post card. On the back it says Little ...ietta WHITE age 6 weeks. This was in an album with black
paper glued to it. I was able to get most of the black off to see what it says, but the
first few letters of the first name I am not sure of. It looks like an L and may be Loretta or Louetta. This was
from a family who lived in Colorado City, Texas, and could be related to NEWBY, HILL, WALDEN, SEALES. Previously were in Parker Co., Tx.....
also. I would love to find a family for these pictures. Wynelle

Researching the PHENIX and BULLION
surnames. Dr. Preston Kemper PHENIX and Mary Arminda PHENIX lived in Colorado City, Mitchell Co., Tx
somewhere in the timeframe of 1893 to 1916. although Dr. PHENIX resided in Colorado
City in 1893, he died in Alvin, TX in 1898. Mary Arminda PHENIX died in 1916 and is
buried in Colorado City,TX. It is believed that she was living with one of her sons
at the time of her death, possibly Newton PHENIX. It is
also believed that the tomestone may be double sided with information on Dr. PHENIX and
Mary PHENIX also. Any information about the burial site of Mary Arminda Phenix would
be much appreciated. George wilson BULLION was married
to Columbia ann PHENIX. It is not known whether they ever lived in Colorado City,
but it is possible. any information on these two surnames is appreciated.
