Research by Eleanor L. Johnson... This is objective....to get a death record for Martha Ball Russ...... Filled out death record request 5 Oct 2002....Jean to send for it....as it needs to be obtained by someone that is related to her so Cray would need to request it.. Information given to me from Clarks said it was Forneg, Texas.....There is no Forneg on my atlas, so it may be Forney (near Dallas).????????? ///////////////////////////// Needs Research: Check 1880 Census Kaufman County, Texas ...she would be 3 yrs old in a Ball family...probably. //////////////////// Check on Obituary notice.... //////////////// Dear Shirley, You are a whiz kid...good job. I want you to hold off until I can get a death record on her as that may give us more clues about her father...if we are lucky. I know she died in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 7 March 1956 and I want to get an obituary if I can. What's your charge so far (hourly rate, etc.)....and I'll get that to you pronto. This will be so great working with you.

No Martha/Mattie of any age. I ran the National Index from 1872 to 1880 for ALL > Martha/Mattie/Myrta Balls etc in the United States. There were only TWO living in Texas: Martha Alice Ball, 5 yrs, b. in Texas, living in Bosque County with J.W. and Mollie J. Ball. (Bosque is about 3 counties away from Kaufman) > Mattie Ball, 5 months, b. in Texas, living in Collin County, > listed as daughter to John J. and Nancy J. McCullar (Collin virtually next door to Kaufman) Neither of these seem to fit your particulars very closely. There were several Martha E.'s/Mattie E.'s in the National Index between 1872 - 1880, but not living in Texas. So....have started working my way through the 1880 Texas Soundex. Interestingly, the code for Ball also includes Bell, Beal, Buell, etc. If there is a chance the name was any of the alternatives, that expands the possibilities to a large degree as Bells are quite numerous. Have found several Martha/Mattie BELLS of the correct age in the 1880 Index. I am taking pictures of any soundex cards that have a Martha/Mattie/Ellen that look to have close to the 1877 birth date. But it would help if I had any other information on Martha. Do we KNOW that she was born in Texas? Do we KNOW that she was in Texas for that 1880 census? Do we have any other siblings names? Is there a chance that the name could be any of the others in the soundex? I only got through the D's in the Soundex on Saturday. Have appointments most of day today, so probably won't get to Library until tomorrow. If you have any more clues on Martha, let me know. Hope you have a good week, and a lovely conference weekend. I will keep you advised of any progress. Love, Shirley (Rpgers) my researcher in the SL Family History Library
