Ancestry.com transcribes her first name as Lovella.  But it looks clearly like
Louella.  Her middle name on the death certificate appears to be written
Hordenon.  On this certificate, the Os and As look similar.  Ancestry.com
transcribes the name as Hordenm, which makes no sense.  For the typed Texas
Death Index, the name from her death certificate was transcribed as Louella
Hardenn.  The name is spelled in other references as Hordemon or Hordenon, the
former of which is apprently meant in this record,

"Louella Hordenon(?) [Hardeman/Hardemon?] "Ella" FORSYTH Allen (married a

"Cedar Creek Cemetery also known as Old Cedar Cemetery is in Red River County. 
I have added Louella to our db."
--  Tina Vickery, email to Lynda Lewis, 11 March 2020

As part of an extensive review of the Christian-Forsyth famliy gorup, it was
found there was no memorial for Louella on Find a Grave, so we creatd one.

----------------
Louella Hardeman Forsyth Allen
Birth 15 Jan 1892 Bowie County, Texas, USA
Death 8 Jan 1943 (aged 50) Bowie County, Texas, USA
Burial Cedar Creek Cemetery, Red River County, Texas, USA

Louella's burial was handled by J R Robertson, Omaha, Morris County, Texas.
Morris County is contiguous to Red River County to the northwest, where the
cemetery is located, Bowie County to the north, Cass County to the east and
Titus County to the west. Morris is a small, narrow county.

There are records for this Forsyth family in all four of these counties. The
cemetery is in Red River on the county line of Red River and Bowie Counties.
Dalby Springs, Bowie County, where their farm was located, is close to the
Bowie-Red River county line.

The name for this cemetery in Find a Grave is Cedar Creek Cemetery, but FAG
notes that it is also called Old Cedar Cemetery. But this seems also to be the
cemetery referred to as Cedar Grove. We are told it has been abandoned for
some time.

Granville & Patricia Murphy say it used to be called Pleasant Grove Cemetery.
On FAG there is a photo of a sign for Old Cedar Cemetery.

Thanks to Forsyth descendant and researcher Lynda Lewis, the burial reported
in the death certificate was added to the cemetery list as acknowledged in the
message below to Lynda.

"Cedar Creek Cemetery also known as Old Cedar Cemetery is in Red River County.
I have added Louella to our db."
-- Tina Vickery, email to Lynda Lewis, 11 March 2020

On her death certificate, Louella's middle name appears to be written
Hordenon. But on the certificate, the Os and As look similar. Ancestry.com
transcribes the name as Hordenm, which makes no sense. For the typed Texas
Death Index, the name from her death certificate was transcribed as Louella
Hardenn, which is likewise meaningless.

The name is spelled in other references as what looks like Hordemon or
Hordenon, the former of which is apparently meant in this record The name is
taken in some sources to be Hardeman, and this is the most common spelling of
this surname (ref the Texas county of Hardeman a bit farther west along the
Red River) and Louella had a brother with this name, which the family spelled
Hardiman.

In March 2020, I was involed in an extensive a round of research on the
Forsyth family, who are kin to our Christian family.  Working with Lynda
Lewis, a Forsyth researcher, and Granville Murrphy, a Red River County
researcher, I submitted extensive suggestions for the links to memorials for
family and spouses of these Forsyth lineage individuals.  As relationship
links to family members' burials began to be approved iit became appareent
that there were two FAG memorials for our Lucy Forsyth.  A memorial with a
grave photo appears under her married name of Lucy Pitts.

Both these memorials were originally established by Granville & Patricia
Murphy, but they are both now managed by Lawrence and Sue Dale.  Previously
lacking the parent and family links which we added in March 2020, the
duplication had not been recognized, even by the creators or managers of the
two memorials.  These two memorials are for the same person.

Notes for Nellie FORSYTH


Nellie died as an infant.  ON the Forsyth burials no exact dates are given,
only theyear.  So we now only that she was born and died int eh same year.

Nellie shares a marker with her dister Odessa (Dessa) and their uncle Ira J,
who we think was stillborn.  It appears Ira was the son of Jason Forsyth and
Lavonia Reed.  It sems that Lavonia died in childbirth.

Odessa died at age 3 and was buried in the family plot in Cedar Creek (Old

It appears Ira was the son of Jason Forsyth and Lavonia Reed.  It sems that
Lavonia died in childbirth.
Dessa and Nellie were the daughters of Jason's son with Emily Christian,
Thomas Jefferson Forsyth and his wife Nipsie.

Notes for Nancy Delena FORSYTHE

Samuel Carpenter
Spouse Nancy D Forsyth
Marriage 13 Sep 1891 Appanoose County, Iowa

I got Nancy's maiden name from her daughter Amanda Carpenter Briscoe's birth
record.  This record report's Amanda's mother's maiden name as Forsythe.  This
was also reported by the California Death record for Amanda.

Iowa, Births and Christenings Index, 1857-1947
Amanda Luella Carpenter
Birth 30 Jul 1892 Caldwell Twp, Appanoose, Iowa
Father's Name Samuel Carpenter
Father's Birth Place Iowa
Father's Age 26
Mother's Name Nancy D Forsythe
Mother's Birth Place Iowa
Mother's Age 21

This birth record also is the first I have seen that provides Amanda's full
middle name.  All the city directories and censuses with a middle initial have
Amanda E.  I suspect that the middle initial E is for Ella, a nickname or
short form for her full middle name Luella.  In the 1920 census Amanda and her
husband are enumerated with Nancy and Sam in Montana.

Notes for Emily Caroline FOSTER


The Find a Grave memorial of William B Barnette reports his parents as John
Barnette and Emily Caroline Foster.  But in the 1910 census, William and his
wife Ida were enumerated with their children in Polk County, North Carolina. 
In their household was his mother, named Marget (Margaret).  Should the
enumerator have reported Margaret as the Stepmother?  At that point in life,
they probably did not make that distinction in reporting the relationship.

Emily and her busband William Beach were enumerated across the border from
Polk County in Campobello Townhisp of Spartanburg County, South Carolina.

I have not been able to reconcile all the dates and relationship sequences. 
John Barnette died before 1910 and was survived by his wife Margaret who died
before 1920.  But Emily Foster Barnett Beach lived until 1938.  And her
husband was William Beach until he died in 1930.  He died in 1930.  William B
Barnett is reported in Emily's obituary as one of the sons surviving her.

Was Emily married to John Barnett before he married Margaret and then John and
Emily divorced.  Maybe, but that was quite unusual for that era.  Another
possibility also stretches credulity.    But William was born in 1872.  And
Emily was born about 1856,  To be William's birth mother, she would have had
to have William when she was bout 16, and married at about age 15.  That is
possible, but how likely?

Genealogies list a large number of Beach children, ranging in birth dates from
1880 to 1895 (three with unreported birth dates).  Assuming this is the total
list, Emily married William Beach about 1880.  Her age then would be about age
18, a common age of marriage.  Several genealogies report only William Beach
as her husband.  But her obituary reports William Barnett as one surviving
son.  William is the only child reported for Emily who is surnamed Barnett.

The date of birth on their daughter Mattie's grave is 1879, though some
genealogies report her birth in 1881.  Genealogy lists of her children report
1st child was Edward, b 1879, then Bessie in 1880, then Mattie.  So she must
have married William Beach about 1878.
