Hi,
Is it possible James Ryan Sims and wife Annie are both buried in Lost Prong Cemetery, Louise, Wharton co. Tx.
According to info on the LDS site they are and Bettie Newman is also buried there.
Don’t know if the info is correct as they have James married to Eliza Coward before 1888, Annie Dierlam before 1890 and Bettie Newman 12 Aug 1903.
The LDS site and Ancestry.com both have information about this family.
Today I talked to a woman who married a Dierlam. She told me there is a relative who has been researching for many years and has lots of information. She is going to find out if she will share.
