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.

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.

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.

It was an obituary book. Although my gg grandmother's name has been mispelled, her age and residence are accurate.

I'd love to volunteer, but unfortunately I do not have a car and the computer I'm using is not mine, plus I am "internetly challenged".(I can do the basics.) However, if you have the need for a housebound, "computer challenged," volunteer, who is really a quick learner, then I could give it a try. My Kaufman County success story: I'm still working on mine, maybe later. I would like to make the following comments: Thank you all, for making this website easy, available, and workable. Usually when I am researching my ancestors, I will discover a site that seems to overflow with information. However, once I begin my journey into the document or site, I suddenly discover, (too late), that I either need to call, visit, or pay a monthly charge to access any information. Thank you for not charging a monthly fee, and thank you for not reducing your website's data, because a monthly fee is not being charged. |

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. |
