I found a photo of a Mr & Mrs Cox and a
separate photo of the two Cox girls--circa 1910. Writing on the back of the
photo said that "the Cox family lived in the Howard Community a few miles
from Haskell". My grandmother lived in Haskell in 1910, and her name was
Allie Belle Moseley, daughter of N G Nathaniel Green and Mary Etter
Moseley Moseley. Apparently, Allie Belle and the Cox girls were friends as
well as their families. The Cox photos may be a wonderful find for the Cox
family relatives still living today. Contact me by e-mail
by clicking on my name (above).

left a telephone number which I will provide for legitimate inquiries -

My great
grandfather, John W. TARBET, moved to Haskell county with his family, in
1900. John W. bought a farm northwest of Rule where his family
lived until 1908 when he sold it and moved into
Rule. In 1910, John W. engaged in a strong and successful
campaign to become Tax-Assessor & Collector for Haskell county. He won
the election and moved to Haskell while he served his
2 terms.
I recently obtained a photo of John W. and his wife Mary Elizabeth which has a notation on the reverse indicating John W. was the County Judge. I had never heard about that. Is there something which shows who the Haskell County Judges were? And how long were the terms for Tax assessor/collector? Thanks for any information. Jim Tarbet.
1 Jun 2012 Bill Cummins
Felix John CUMMINGS (10 Jan 1863-24 May 1885) is buried in Willow Cemetery in Haskell. His sister, Florence Cummings Winn (3 Aug 1861 – 18 Feb 1935), is also buried there. Their older brother, HAROLD CUMMINGS, died in 1901 but I do not know where. They are the children of John O. Cummings and Julia Manning Cummings. I am looking for information on HAROLD CUMMINGS especially.
Does Haskell County have City Directories, Newspapers and Funeral Home Records to help me find out more on Harold and that family? “Cummins” may have been spelled without the “g”, sometimes. Thank you for any information you can provide about HAROLD and his family. Bill Cummins.

Would like to find out where to write or call for the Weinert Cemetery. I have called the funeral home twice in the last month only to be told someone would get back to me. We are trying to verify 2 graves in order to place headstones for them. Thanks.

Joanne Sutherland
I am searching for my husband's uncle. He is listed in the 1910 census
records, or at least, someone with his name is listed. Elisha K.
Sutherland, born 1787 in Virginia, traveled to W.Va in 1900 and worked as a
coal miner for a while. In the 1910 Haskell County census, there is an E.
Sutherland listed as a barber with a wife named Ola. Don't know if this is
who I am looking for, but decided to turn over as many rocks as need be to
find him. If there is anyone reading this who might know this
person, please respond. Thanks
4 Aug 2010 Linda Penn
The 1910 Census for Haskell
County lists W. T. Peters as hotel keeper of "Old Kentucky Home".
I am interested in information about the family and the hotel.
I'm a Rochester native (parents were Orville and Violet Atcheson Hamilton) so
the hotel info intrigues me. The Peters family were in other
counties in the previous and the following census so would have been short-term
residents of Haskell. Many thanks for any information or photos provided.

30 Nov 2009 Gary Cowan
In researching my SHORT family's
WARINER branch, I came across the following newspaper article from 1904, and
wondered if anyone knew who this boy might be. As far as I know, none of my
family were in Haskell Co at that time. Gary Cowan, Fort
Worth, Texas
Fort Worth Telegram, Vol XX,
Issue 305, Page 19
8 May 1904
Police News: A notice reading something like this was
put in the police station today:
"Lost - A boy, about 13 years of age; fair skin, blue eyes, light hair and spare
build. His home is in Haskell, Haskell county, Texas. About ten days ago the boy
was put off the train at Fort Worth and since has not been seen. Address any
information to E. Warriner, 1521 South Calhoun street, city."
This makes the third boy who has been lost, strayed or stolen in the last few
weeks. In a short time it will be necessary to put collars, with name and
address on all youngsters in order to keep them safe.
16 Nov 2009 Dick Whitaker
I have a family photo of Charles Franklin Crane and Nora Whitaker Crane and their two children born in Haskell County - Edgar Romine Crane and James Raymond Crane, taken about 1912. Is there anyone who is researching this family who would like a copy?

10 Jan 2009 Patty Spears
My 87 yr-old mother's memory is that my great-grandparents, William Louis and Talitha Belva GOBER NORTON, ran a hotel in Haskell in the 1920s. She thinks it was called the Norton Hotel. This may or may not be accurate but I do have a clock from the hotel and I would like some history to go with it....if, in fact, there was a hotel run by the NORTONS. I know that William and Talitha were living in Haskell when my mother and her brother were born in Haskell in 1921 and 1918, respectively, to the Norton's daughter, Elwa Vashti Norton BAILEY. I would appreciate any information you can give me. Thank you. Patty Spears, Sherman, Texas.
11 Nov 2008 Marcia
I am seeking information on Claude HAYES who died in Haskell County in 1948. His death certificate indicates burial in Rule Cemetery. His child, Jenita HAYES born 1941 - died 1943, is also buried there per her death certificate. My information indicates that Jessie Ann BRYAN was the wife/mother of this family. The Claude HAYES I am seeking was my grandfather's half-brother and lived in Fisher County, TX in 1910 and 1920. Any information about these persons would be appreciated.

Telemacus Alexander MAYES, born
1843 in Georgia, died 1930 in Texas. He married Louisa Eveline BURNS
who was born 1845 in Georgia and died 16 Feb 1919 in Haskell Co., Texas.

Louisa are buried, etc. Thanks. James in Georgia.
1 Oct 2008 Jimmy Harris
My Grandfather, James Benjamin HARRIS, entered the US Army around 1918 in Haskell. I believe there has been information printed in the Haskell Freepress about this departure. He was accompanied by Hill Oates, I think. I would like any information anyone may have. I am presently writing a military history book about my ancestors. Thanks. Jimmy Harris.
26 Apr 2008 Nell Page
George Robert PAGE was murdered in Haskell County on May 27, 1922. He was my husband's grandfather. I'm searching for information on this murder done by a man with the last name of Mature. The book "Sod Busters and Cow Pokes of Haskell County" (written by Betty & R.S.Sanders) said Page, Mature and another man went to a party in a home in the Mitchell community where they got into a fight. Mr. Mature cut George Page's throat with a knife and he bled to death before or after he was taken to a doctor (perhaps in O'Brien, TX). We've been told that Mr. Mature also killed someone named Aunt Beck Corsey and served some time in prison either for her or Page's murder. There was a story about this in a 1930s True Detective magazine which we do not have and cannot locate. We would appreciate it very much if any of you know anything about this or can tell us how to access newspaper or court records of George Page's death. Thank you so much. Nell Page
2 Mar 2008 The Porters
Ruby Porter ANDERSON and her husband moved to O'Brien, Texas, in Haskell County, from Okolona, Mississippi, in the early 1900's. I am interested in finding more on Ruby and her family. Where did they go? She was probably a teacher and her husband was reported to have been owner of a ranch. Any help would be appreciated.
22 Jan 2008 Margaret Beaver
I am looking for information on the Weaver School. My Great Grandfather, J.M. BLAKEMORE, was a schoolteacher there in 1910. My Grandmother, Ethel Blakemore, married my Grandfather, Robert F. BROOKS, also in 1910 in Haskell County. I have a copy of the marriage certificate.
There were two other marriages that took place there, I believe, in 1910. One was a Georgia Blakemore to a PARKS, and Jo Blakemore to a WEAVER. A cousin's wife and I are interested in the lookup of the marriages for the Parks and Weaver marriages. She has a picture of Benjamin Parks and all it says on back is it was taken at the Weaver School. There are several other children in the photo, but cannot make out any of what the old school looked like. Evidently the Weaver's were from there, and that's possibly where the school name came from. The county map shows a school named Weaver.
Is there also a town called Weaver? Does anyone have a picture of the old Weaver School? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Margaret
16 Nov 2007 Leah Belshay
My grandfather, David Herman DILLARD, lived in Haskell from approx. 1938-1945. His father's name was William Earl DILLARD and he owned a one pump filling station outside of town. The family lived in the back part of the building. His wife's name was Daisy Florine KUYKENDALL. They lived across the street from William's sister- Pearl ?. My grandfather, David, says he walked about 1/2 mile to school- a one story building.
I'm visiting family in Texas this Christmas and was wondering if the school is still standing or if someone could help me locate exactly where the filling station/school were in Haskell. Does anyone remember this family? If someone could help I would like to visit the town. I am also looking for information on the Kuykendall's who lived approx. 80 miles away. Thanks, Leah Belshay

3 Sep 2007 Wanda Ham
A Haskell County researcher is looking for relatives of two children who lived in Haskell County in the 1920's. The researcher, June Hogue, has a photo of Billy and Nelly GREY/GRAY, ages 3 and 5, whose mother died not long after leaving their abusive father. These two children were taken in by a neighbor, Mrs. Whitaker, to help them while their mother was ill. After the death of their mother, the children were placed in the Buckner Children's Home in Dallas. A photo of the two children has been kept by Mrs. Whitaker's descendants. If anyone knows of relatives who might like to have the photograph, contact Wanda Ham of the Haskell County Historical and Genealogical Society and she will pass along that information to Mrs. Hogue.

My family lived in Haskell County during the early 1900's. They were the HUDDLESTONS and the COXES. They lived in the O'Brien and Rochester communities. I would like to know where I could find information about the O'Brien schools during the years 1900 thru 1915. Thank you for your help.
22 Aug 2007 Janice White Hargrove
I have found census records that show some of the WHITES and CHASTAINs were kin to me in Haskell County, Texas. My grandfather was Thomas Franklin WHITE (1889-1969). He died in Mobile, AL, and was born (possibly) in Texas. My grandmother was Fannie (possibly Frances) Pearl CHASTAIN/CHASTIN (1900-1937). She died in Donalsonville, GA, and may have been born in Texas.
I descend from their son, Norman Eddie White (1934-2005) who is buried in Donalsonville, GA, and am searching for any relatives: brothers, sisters, cousins, parents, etc. See more details on this family in my MailList posting at the Haskell MailList Archives for August 2007 at https://lists.rootsweb.com/hyperkitty/th/index/txhaskel . Thank you for any information you might have. Janice White Hargrove.

I am looking for information about Arnetta "Netta" HUFF LOTT who was probably born in Missouri (1870 - 1890?) and lived in Haskell County, I suppose in the early to mid 1900's.

11 Dec 2006 Margaret Brooks Beaver
Could someone help me find out more information on my relatives that were in Haskell County in 1910? I know my grandparents, Robert BROOKS and Ethyl BLAKEMORE, married there in 1910. I also came across some info that my other grandfather, Joseph M. BLAKEMORE, taught at Weaver school there in 1910 and several Blakesmores married WEAVERs and PARKs there, also. I have the census records for 1910 already but I wondered if there is any more history on the Brooks, Blakemore, Weaver and Parks families in Haskell County. Thanks for any information. Margaret (Brooks) Beaver, Dougherty, Oklahoma.

Looking for any information on Charlie Roy HICKS who
was born about 1906. He is the son of William Monroe HICKS and Annie
Jane SHINAULT. Texas Death Records show he died in Haskell County 27
Jul 1950 where there are several Hicks and Shinault descendants. Roy
is said to have taken his own life after the death of another family member
under suspicious circumstances. This other family member (name not
known at present) was said to have just been released from prison for the murder
of Roy's brother, Monroe, in California on
24 March 1931 . Annie SHINAULT HICKS' sister, Matilda, married
John Calhoun PICKERING. Matilda died in Haskell County 13 Feb 1948.
Most of Matilda's descendants are in Henderson County. Thanks in
advance, Sandra.
14 Aug 2006 Aleta Cavender
Some of my mother's people were named ANDRES. The only one I remember is Opal ANDRES. She was married to my mother's cousin. I also think there was one who lived in an old converted school house in the 1950's but I can't remember his name. I think it started with H. I am trying to find the links to my mother who was Opal Mae HOWARD. Her father was O. P. HOWARD and his brother was John HOWARD who was a deaf mute. Thanks for your help. Aleta.

The Dallas Morning News of 10-25-1926 reported that J. K. BEAUCHAMP, 30, was shot and killed while acting as the City of Haskell night watchman when he tried to stop two men from burglarizing a local store. He was from Rochester in Haskell County and was survived by his wife and two small children and family in Rochester.
I am a volunteer researcher for the Texas Peace Officers
Memorial and am interested in the place of burial of BEAUCHAMP, any surviving
family, his date of birth, etc. Two men were arrested in 1927 -
Walter KING, 20, and Reuben DAVIS, 26. I'd like to know if
these two men were ever prosecuted. Any assistance would be
appreciated. Ron DeLord

If anyone has a picture I would
like a copy of it. Thanks, Robert Coburn.
