My Great-Grandfather had a half sister Frances F. Cooper-married to a John F. Crosby-I have the death certificate on John F. and numerous CSA records on a John F. Crosby-2 Lt. Co H 53 Alabama Partisan Rangers-I want to prove this is my John F.-I have Fannie F. Crosby buried here with a marker in our Pioneer Cemetery-John F. went onto El Paso with his daughter Minnie Clyde and her husband James Franklin Kilcrease-the death certificate on John F. Crosby has him dying in El Paso and noted body shipped to Olney for burial-there is no record of his burial here, but I have been told by the secretary at the Funeral home that in the 1920's the gravedigger would receive a telegram and meet the body at the railroad-take the remains and bury them.
I would like to get a Veteran's marker for John F.-I have called a number for one of the Sons of the Confederacy groups and also consulted with another member of this group-no help.-we will presume he is buried here next to his wife-since the death certificate stated his remains shipped here-I found no record of his burial in El Paso.
