Note: This was apparently a disinterment, but no designation to what cemetery was made in the record. Information from Irby Booth Fitzhugh Connery, 10 Sep 1999, 8110 Salem Avenue, Lubbock, TX 79424, Email - iconnery@arn.net: I am the daughter of Narcissa Blalock, who was the daughter of Charles Blalock, who was the son of Willie Henry Boothe (Blalock), who was the daughter of William Boothe and Sarah L. Bloodworth (Boothe). William Booth(e) died on 26 Dec 1893. He was born on 15 Feb 1825 in Georgia. He married Sarah L. Bloodworth in Shelby Co. Tennessee on 21 Feb 1847. Children of William and Sarah Boothe were: 1. Willie Henry Boothe, female, b. 24 Nov 1862 Blossom, Lamar Co., TX; d. 01 Sept. 1955 Marshall, Harrison Co., TX, buried Grange Hall Cemetery, Marshall, Harrison Co., TX 2. Jesse H. Boothe, male, b. 1848, d. 29 Jan 1904 3. James A. Boothe, male b. 1852 4. Frances C. Boothe, female, b. 1854 5. Sarah J. Boothe, female, b. 1859 William Boothe's body was moved from Lamar Co. (unk cemetery ) to the Blalock family cemetery in Harrison Co. TX in 1911. His wife, Sarah L. Bloodworth Boothe had died in Marshall, Harrison Co. TX in January 1907, in the home of her daughter, Willie Henry Boothe (Mrs. W. M. Blalock). Reference Obituary in Marshall News Messenger, Sunday, Jan 6, 1907. So, after Sarah was buried in the Blalock family cemetery near Marshall, William's body was moved to rest beside her. At some later date, the bodies may have been moved to the Grange Hall Cemetery, near Marshall, Harrison Co. TX. If they were not actually moved, at least there is a marker at Grange Hall Cemetery with their names and dates on it. Their daughter, Willie Henry and her many descendants continue to be buried there to the present time.
