WHITE.MILLER
I was born in Cisco on November 2, 1920. My parents were Oscar T. White and Bessie Denson White. Their first child, Joyel T. White was b. in Cisco in 1917 and did there Nov. 1, 1919. He was buried in Lot 1 Block 132 Oak Wood Cemetery, Cisco. I know that their doctor was a Doctor Lee and he did not do birth certificates (didn't do mine in 1920) and probably did not do death certificates either in 1919.
Was there a mortality list in the 1920
census for deaths in 1919? I can't seem to find it on the
internet.
My grandfather was William Penn White
who had some kind of business in Cisco. He left there after 1920
and moved to the Valley. His first wife was Mary Louisa
Miller and they were married in Cameron, Milam Co., TX in 1889.
My father was born in Feb. 1896 and was her 4th chiild. Family
history says that he was 4 months old when his mother died. He
was born in Dublin but always said he was born on the Eastland Co.
side.
My father's sibs were: Edgar Monroe
White, b. in 1891; Louisa (Lois) Lee White Lea, b. in 1893 (from census
records, date wrong on death certificate); Lillie Ann White
Walker (b. 1894 or 95, date of birth wrong on death certificate also). I have copy of my father's Draft
Registration for WW1, which gives his correct age. I suppose
what I need most is more information about Mary L. Miller White, where
she is buried and who her parents were. If anyone is working on these family lines, I
would appreciate sharing information with them. Thank you.

PRATER
Patricia Pugh
I'm trying to locate some family information on William Samuel and Nancy Huffman PRATER (died Desdemonia). Their children were William (1877), Martha (1879), George (1882), Logan Henderson (1886) and Leonard Prater (1888). I'm trying to find out if Nancy was William's first or second wife. I think he was married before her to my gr grandmother Rebecca Evelyn. They had a son Thomas (b1871). Appreciate any responses.
