Thank you, nice picture. My great grandparents are buried at Shep Texas. Their names were Amos Lewallen 1859-1941 and Nancy Bruner Lewallen 1866-1955. Renee

Renee, do you have pictures of their grave markers? If not, next time I'm there I will make some for you. Just let me know if you need pictures.

Hello,
No not yet, my cousin Steffanie who just joined lost the pictures on her computer and is recreating then, but not yet. I would love pictures of their graves. His parents are also buried there. I have a picture of Nancy McDonald Lewallen's grave but not of her husband Zacheriah David Lewallen 1822-1910. Thanks. Renee

Venita,
I have a question on this one.
You have Sarah listed as the daughter of Delilah?
Sarah McDonald Blevins, dau of Delilah Reed and Sterling McDonald
Wasn't she Emely's daughter instead of Delilah's? Emely was the one who married Sterling McDonald right?
Mary Hubbell - May 21, 2009
According to my records it was Emely who married Sterling McDonald.

Mary that is what I have too and have always seen other places.

According to my records as well if was Emily.

Thanks for your watchful eye. Sarah McDonald Blevins was indeed the daughter of Emely Reed and her first husband Sterling McDonald. Must have been later than I thought when I posted those that night. Thanks again for setting the record straight.

This was taken at the land next to the Hurt farm right? on your land right Venita?

I may be wrong, but I have always thought this picture was taken in the yard of Catlett Bascom Hurt & Texas Lewellen Hurt, my grand parents,because of the lilac bush and the pickett fence in the back ground looks like the one on their place.

May be in the Hurt family yard, in fact as I study it, I'm convinced it is. Both houses had picket fences around their yards.
