This article always tears at my heart.<br />
As a child, I always asked my parents where they got my name. They always told me they each had a friend in school named Patricia. I found this newspaper article a few years back and then I knew where they got the name. My dad's brother and wife had lost a baby girl named Patricia. It tears at my heart to think about this. What if they had not asked if it was Ok to name me after her??? Sad to imagine waking up to find your baby dead :( Parents were my aunt and uncle Wilford and Betty Funderburg and Grandparents were Jesse Lee & Virgia Funderburg and J. R. Holmes.<br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "comic sans ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Found on <span data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;" style="text-decoration: underline;"><span data-mce-style="color: #5b0000;" style="color: #5b0000;">Eastland County, TXGenWeb Site. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Desdemona was settled by C. C. Blair in 1860, and in 1875, <strong>land was pre-empted by Benjamin and William Funderburg</strong>. By 1900 the population was 340 people with five stores. The most prominent business was operated by Capt. A. J. O'Rear.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Desdemona
rode to fame under the name of "Hogtown" in the years between 1917 to
1922. It stands today a peaceful little village on the banks of Hog
Creek near the eastern line of the county.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">When
old King Oil brought in 30,000 people, Desdemona had three banks, seven
filling stations, ten grocery stores, two general merchandise stores, a
post office, three barber shops, two blacksmith shops, three saloons,
two medical doctors, one of them being Dr. Snodgrass, one drug store,
1,000 oil derricks within the city limits.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">On
January 6, 1921, the Lone Star Hotel and Cafe was burned with total
damage of $20,000 and two lives, two women from a vaudeville -- a mother
and her daughter. The hotel was situated next to the Wiley Theatre and
was one of the largest in town. The fire started in the cafe.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia";"><span style="font-family: "comic sans ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">On
April 5, 2014, my husband, Tom, our son, Brian, and I took a day trip
over to Desdemona for a look at the ghost town of "Hogtown" as it was
called before the oil boom. Desdemona, a peaceful little village on the
banks of Hog Creek, a tributary of Leon River, near the eastern line of
Eastland county, was settled by C. C. Blair in 1860, and in 1871, <strong>land was pre-empted by Benjamin and William Funderburg</strong>.
The town of Desdemona was a well established community by the 1870's.
My great great grandfather, William Henry Funderburg and his brother,
David pre-empted the land on which Desdemona is built (History of
Eastland County, Texas). The Funderburg brothers sold their pre-empted
land later to William Brown. I had already sent and recieve copies of
the land records for William and David. We had the pleaseure of running
into an older gentelman (Brown) and it turned out to be the grandson of
this William Brown. He said that he still owned and lived on the land
that was owned by the Funderburg's. He said that HIS grandfather
homesteaded the land but he may be confused by another piece of land
that his grandfather purchased and homesteaded. The reason is,the
Funderburg's had already homestaeded their land and sold to Brown. So he
said he would show us part of the land and we followed him up the road
and he pulled off at a gate and we got out and talked. He said (and
pointed) all of the land off the west of that highway was Funderburg
land. This man has inherietd much more land over the years from other
land dealings from his grandfather. After he left, we went back into
this very small town and took photos of the buildings. It consisited of
the old bank, grocery store and drug store, that were all run back in
the old days by this William Brown and his son. The drug store is now
the post office and the store and bank are closed. There was a very
small brick building across the street which use to be the jail. That is
all that is left of the town. The cemetery down the road, DESDEMONA CEMETERY, is on land donated by the Jones Family for a "public graveyard" in 1880. The Jones bought David W. Funderburg's pre-empted land survey and
deeded one acre for the cemetery. There are no Funderburg's buried there
as they had all left the area by then. Although there may have been
Funderburg's who died in Hogtown, I would not know where they would
have been buried. There is an old Ellison Family Cemetry on another road
that was established in 1876 for the Ellison family. The Historical
Marker along the road says "although intended for family burials, the
plot has always been available to friends and others in need." There was
no road and it was pretty grown up so we did not want to try going in.
We went back into to town as there was a small cafe and we wanted some
lunch. We visited the Desdemona First Baptist Church and we were allowed
to go in and take pictures. The woodwork had been restored to a beautif
shine. The church was established in 1872.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "comic sans ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Ben
Funderburg, son of Henry M, was an uncle to William Henry and David
Washington Funderburg. I have not found land records for Ben from the
state of Texas but the did sell his land when the younger men did. Each
of the three men purchased 160 acres to homestaeds which lay in Eastland
and Erath counties, from an act approved August 12, 1870. William Henry had his land surveyed October 20, 1871.
David W. had his surveyed June 15, 1872. William's paperwork from the
sell does list his wife as M. A. and shows the name B. Funderburg</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "comic sans ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">David

This is the best South Carolina resource I have found while researching my South Carolina ancestors. I have found Wills, Plat Maps and other sources from this. I highly recommend this if you had family in South Carolina.<br />

slaves, a male and female both under 10 and a female 10 thru 23.
Hector's wife was Elizabeth (maiden name unknown) and no record of a
marriage for them. This census would mean that he had a daughter and a
son born around 1830 ad 1835. So a marriage would have occurred about
1825 to 1830. Daughter Elizabeth, my gg grandmother, was born Oct 1841
in Washington Parish, Louisiana. So Hector & Elizabeth would have had 4
children between 0 and 10 yeas old, two sons, two daughters.</strong></span></span></span></span></span><br /><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">

This was a family picnic at a swimming hole probably taken at a place where my dad and mom's families worked. A place only known to me as the Garrett Ranch. I remember it only vaguely as a small child. It was a working ranch and not sure who the owners were or why my parents and other aunt's & uncle's worked there. I was not even born when this was taken apparently. I am not positive that this is where this photo was taken.<br />
