My name is Kimberly L Holman.  Lovin Holman is my great grandmother.  According to my grandmother, Lovin Holman passed away a week before Christmas in 1953 and was laid to rest on Christmas day, which she believes to be a Friday.  If you have any further information pertaining to Lovin Holman or Clave Holman please send it to kholman@gt.rr.com.  We would greatly appreciate any small bit of information from the past. Thank you, Kimberly Holman 2

Am searching for Mecie Frances Lucas Warr. She was married to Vaughn/Von Warr.  She died on 10 Aug 1952 in Shelby Co. Tx. and is buried there with her husband.  I also have her date of birth and know that Mangum Funeral handled her arrangments.  I would like to know who their children were, her parents and how can I contact any of her siblings.  Thank you.
