So I am going to be traveling to Wilbarger County, Texas, next week for work (time for more bridge survey). It will be part of a larger trip in west and and northwest Texas. I am not expecting to get a trip up to Wilbarger county any other time. Because of this, I was planning on making a stop at Eastview Cemetery in Vernon, Texas, but I have no idea of where the people were buried. This is the SNOW family, including Stillman B. Snow, from Virginia. His father was Asiel Snow, who came to Pulaski Co, Virginia, from Massachusetts.
So I was looking up the cemetery, found some entries on Find-a-Grave, but no actual plot locations. So in preparation for next week's trip, I faxed the City Hall, which holds the records of the cemetery. I had not expected a fast reply, and included my mailing address, phone number, email, and fax number. Not 20 minutes later I had received a fax and a email from someone in the City Hall in Vernon. This included a letter, the cemetery record for the SNOWs, and a map of the cemetery giving me directions to the location within the cemetery.
The city of Vernon in Wilbarger county is fantastic. I wish I had more people to research there! I hope that I can actually stop in and say thank you. I probably won't get any time to research as the schedule will be tight, but every little bit helps. I have no idea if there will be any headstones there, but at least now I have the cemetery record and can check it out!
