Bio and Links
My wife and I do genealogy so we have been in a lot of libraries, cemeteries, court houses and outhouses all around the USA. At first, I started photographing only my family and friends' tombstones. It therefore became a duty to take pictures of all the markers in the cemeteries throughout Ellis county.
Several of the names and dates which are already listed that do not yet have photos, contain many errors. After taking their tombstone pictures, I have noticed those mistakes when comparing the actual inscriptions with the information that has already been uploaded. I also see a lot of people listed more than once, which throws off the number of graves indicated.
If and when I make a mistake please e-mail me and I will gladly correct it. If the person is a relative or friend and you wish to manage the listing, I will happily relinquish ownership and transfer it over to you. We are members of the Ellis County Genealogical Society which meets the 1st Monday of each month, 7:00 pm, at the Ellis County Woman's Building, 407 West Jefferson Street in Waxahachie. Membership is open to anyone interested in family history. Dues are $20 per calendar year and includes a subscription to ECGS quarterly publication, Searchers & Researchers.

Edna Chism
Hi Ray:

I am interested in locating info on Edna Chism (Tate-Hagan) at the Bristol Cemetery. I am trying to identify her parents. Also there are no dates on her grave and I am not sure if the funeral marker shows any dates based on the picture. Can you share any additional information on this grave? Do you know the funeral home that handled the burial?

Thank you,
Joyce Ruff

It was such a pleasant surprise when I was notified that you had transferred Cynthia Ann Sutton's memorial to me. She was my great grandmother. Thank you for your kindness.
