The Nelson Grove Cemetery is where Malinda Hartley Ashley, her husband and son (with wife) are buried. Their son has a stone and the two markers nearby say T. S. A. and M. A. These would be Thomas and Malinda. Location: This cemetery is located near the Woodbine community in eastern Cooke County. From Hwy 82, south on FM 678, about 1.2 miles, it's located on the east side of the road. Nelson Grove is well maintained. Mollie E. Nelson, who died in 1875, is believed to be the first person buried here. This survey was updated in April 2008.

Henderson (Henry) Huffman and Julia Ann Hartley Gallery

Sarah Huffman and Robert E. Surginer, Sarah is daughter of Henderson and Julia Ann Hartley Huffman. Robert died 1963 in Carthage, TX at the age of 84. He was a farmer.

Frances Surginer Edge, Frances is daughter of Robert and Sarah Huffman Surginer, if she is 20 or so then picture about 1912-13.

Could young man here be Gilliam Surginer, (1893-1964) son of Sarah and Robert below? I have added the mustache. If the young man is Gilliam at age 20 or so then that picture would be about 1912-15, which coincidentally would be same years of his sister Frances’ picture above. Note similar backgrounds in both pictures. Another possibility is the young man is Robert’s brother; is there one? Donna Taylor confirmed that Robert had blue eyes as suggested in the picture, Therefore the young man can’t be Robert at an earlier age. This picture is a “real postcard” which dates between 1904-18 fitting well with Gilliam.

Maybe Gilliam Surginer, moustache added.

I believe Sarah is pregnant with Gilliam, which would account for the tummy in a woman that young. That would date the photo about 1892-93. (Initially I thought Sarah’s dress was from much earlier period, however the hat as pointed out by Frances Cronin is more 1890s which is right for Sarah and Robert.

Sarah Huffman?, age 3 or 4, making picture 1878, shoes seem later, though I have seen 1870 photos of girls in similar shoes. Card printed between 1910-24. Back says Sarah in awkward writing.

Jessie Albritton Edge (1886-1941)

Frances Surginer Edge (3/26/1895-1/24/1978), Frances is daughter of Sarah and Robert Surginer. She married Jesse Albritton Edge.

Jesse Albritton and Carrie Johnson Edge. The infant is their oldest child, Georgie Lee Edge.
Georgie Lee Edge was born near Baytown. Picture courtesy of Linda Head Burrows, who wrote, "Took a while to figure out why this young couple left Old Center, TX area.  They followed a relative for work. Not sure what year they returned to Old Center. Those are my baby shoes, glazed. Also my wedding ring pillow. "
Carrie Etta Johnson Edge (?-Feb. 5, 1917) and her oldest daughter, Georgie Lee. Carrie married Jesse Albritton Edge on December 26, 1906. Following her death he married Frances Surginer.
Clearly the same as woman on the left.

Maybe Amanda Huffman, age 3 or 4, making pictures taken 1889. Back says “From little sister to ant Sarh, in awkward writing. Amanda was sister to Sarah Huffman. I think the postcard was sent to Sarah sometime in the 1930 when Amanda was around 40 years of age. Postcard printed between 1918-30. Hand writing on the back of this and the next photo are by the same person.

Amanda J. Huffman Green. Daughter of Henderson and Julia Ann Hartley Huffman. Card says "To my dear sis Sarh surginer" Amanda was a sister of Sarah Huffman Surginer. Amanda died in 1953 making her 56 years old at her death. This must be near the time of her death.

Back of photo at left from E. S. Hall Studio, Hoopeston, ILL
Older Woman Cabinet Card. The back has in faint pencil. The first word maybe something like" Misll or Misiss". The last name looks like Mols. I tried the census for Mols, Molt, Mold in Hoopeston but no luck. She might have been visiting. Photographer E. S. Hall, 1887, Hoopeston, Ilinois. Photographer Ervin S. Hall was born in Illinois, in February of 1855. He was in business in Hoopeston from before 1880 until at least 1900.
Here is the back of the card.
G. G. Matthews, Photographer Bennett in Cleburne, Texas. His studio burned in 1900, so likely this photo was taken around then, as he was a young man. Matthews likely in 40s or 50s her making him born about 1850.
Here is the back of the card.
