Email received seeking info on Richard Young Stedman, Cameron, TX - 1866-1920
Name : Suzanne S. Williford
Address : 1024 Northwest Avenue
McComb, MS 39648
My name is Suzanne Stedman Williford and I have been attempting to find out any
information regarding my great grandfather, Richard Young Stedman. He lived in the
Cameron area in the late 1800's (born 1866 -- 1920) and from what I've been told was in
law enforcement. I have his Colt 45 given to him on his retirement??? engraved on the
butt of the gun "T.M.D. to R.Y.S, Cameron, TX". I've checked with the Texas Rangers and
they have no record.
Any information you could share would be greatly appreciated.

Email received seeking info on Mumford Cemetery
Name : Steven Scott
Address : 2391 Porter Street

I am trying to get photos of all of the grave markers in the Taylor-Mumford Cemetery on
Farm to Market road 437 between Val Verde and Davilla. This is my family cemetery and I
am a direct line descendant. I can find it on Google World and Bing Maps. It is well
off of the road and in disrepair, but I am trying to find someone that would go and
photograph each stone and the cemetery as a whole for my genealogical research.
I am also trying to find out if a Jeptha "Jesse" Mumford, 1808-1883 is buried there or
at the Davilla Cemetery in the city.
If you have contacts for each cemetery, I would appreciate it if you could get me the
information.

I am trying to find out who is in charge of the Walkers Creek Cemetery Association.
My sister, brother and I live in the Houston area but all of our relatives are buried
at Walkers Creek and we have plots there too.
We would like to be placed on the mailing list for the association so that we can
send our contributions to help keep up the cemetery.
I would appreciate it if you could help us by sending a reply to this e-mail with the
person's name in charge and their address or e-mail so that we may get in touch with
them.
Thank you very much.
