My favorite part of this site is: I would like to see added to this site: Kaufman Cemetery: I live in Tom Green County, Tx. which is several hundred miles from this area, but have just returned home from a visit of the East Texas area finding several old cemeteries where my ancestors are buried. One of them is the Kaufman Cemetery located S.W. side of FM 2757 and N.W. about 0.02 miles on FM 741. It is in much need of cleaning up as some of the stone could not be seen due to so may weeds. Two of my ancestors I did find that had small fences around them, thanks to someone caring. This was my first time to visit this cemetery and I just wanted to cry it was in such sad shape. There are Confederate Soldiers buried here and thier families. They deserve more honor than this. I will help in any way that I can to start this process. But I need some help in locating someone that has knowledge in how to go about getting this done. If anyone in this area knows how to set it in motion, please let me know.

KK Hunt who is in charge of the clean up of these old cemeteries. I found out that she already had plans for the clean up of this cemetery. Also I called the cemetery the KAUFMAN cemetery and it is the BLACKLAND cemetery. She explained to me that this cleaning needs to be done properly, so none of the stone are damaged more than they already are. The Historical commission of Kaufman County does need all the funds they can get though to help with these much needed projects. Many stones are in need of repair.

Surely God and His angels have blessed this beautiful part of His Earth. I was given the gift of being a small part of your congregation many years ago while stationed at the now closed Nike Hercules Base on the hill, just on the out-skirts of Terrell. Being from back East, I was overcome at times by the hospitality and honesty of your membership. Thank You. I still enjoy the same foods that have become a part of my daily life as result of the many "pot-lucks" I attended on Church grounds. I truly miss the faith that this congregation allowed me to experience during my short time there. My College Mound coffee mug reminds me daily of this most wonderful place in my adopted State of Texas, no matter where I've hung my hat. May God Bless you all! Bill Reilly Flagstaff, Arizona

My father was born in Kaufman and I was born in Terrell. I currently live in Los Angeles, California. One of the most special things in my life to do is visit Wilson Chapel with my father on the rare occasions I get to come home to Texas. Wilson Chapel is a very important part of my make up. I have a beautiful Wilson Chapel plate hanging in my kitchen that belonged to my grandmother. I'd love to hear or communicate with anyone who may have interest in emailing me about Wilson Chapel and it's history. I'm so happy to have found this web site.

I would like to see added to this site: My Kaufman County success story: If it weren't for the hard work and dedication of Lynda Harwell and Kathey this website would not be what it is today. And if it weren't for the volunteers at the Kaufman Library, I would still no nothing about the death of my gg grandmother. Because Lynda took the time to go to the Kaufman libraries and trascribe obituaries from newspapers, I have found the obituary for my gg grandmother Ellen Fletcher. I have looked for over 6 years trying to find information on her death to no avail. I wrote to the Kauman County Library for a lookup and a volunteer there sent me some information that she found on the Fletcher surname. Although she didn't find my exact given name of my ancestor, she sent me the general information anyway. And the obituary I needed happen to be in a book that was compiled by Lynda Harwell. It was an obituary book. Although my gg grandmother's name has been mispelled, her age and residence are accurate. I just wanted to thank Lynda, Kathey and the volunteers at the Kaufman Library who have taken the time to assist us in keeping the memories of our ancestors living through the unselfish giving of themselves and their time. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. You are all very precious and generous people. You have truly blessed my heart. I would like to make the following comments:

Kaufman, the first person from the state of Texas to be elected to the US Congress. I'm happy to respond and I appreciate you brining this to my attention. Upon further research, I did learn that David Kaufman did follow his father's Jewish faith. It was my original understanding that Mr. Kaufman was raised in his mother's Christian faith. I've now had a history lesson, and it was very interesting to learn that Mr. Kaufman, like me, served on the House Rules Committee (in fact as chairman). After reading about Mr. Kaufman's accomplishments during his short life, I'm very proud that I am the only Jewish Texan to serve after him. Again, thank you for brining this to my attention. If I can ever be of assistance, please feel free to call on me. Sincerely, MARTIN FROST Member of Congress MF/sm Confirmation # 1484595 I would like to make the following comments: please keep up the good work I am serious about having a book published about David the unsung Jewish Hero.
