Ill let you know what I hear. |
The great grandaughters co worker said: There are two names that I believe are relatives. Arlie Kirkham and Leona or Lena Kirkham were sisters - two of about ten children born/raised in Roxton. Arlie Thomas lives in Pleasant Grove, near Dallas.
So with the right spelling I found 1930 United States Federal Census about Arlie Kirkham Home in 1930: Precinct 2, Lamar, Texas family #15 View Map Age: 6 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1924 Relation to Head of House: Daughter Father's name: Oscar Kirkham Mother's name: Dora Kirkham Race: White Household Members: Name Age Oscar Kirkham 43 Dora Kirkham 43 Lee Kirkham 20 Leslie Kirkham 18 Henery Kirkham 16 Lena Kirkham 13 Ollie Kirkham 11 Dorothy Kirkham 9 Arlie Kirkham 6 William Kirkham 5 Francis Kirkham 11/12 |
I have a classmate from Clarksville, Tx & her last name was Busby. She still lives there, It may be some of her family as Paris is just about 30 miles from Clarksville. I will see if I can get an email for her if you like. Pm me & let me know.

How wonderful a quilt top is that????? Hope you find some link to it through somebody. Just a thought, but a lot of times, these were done through churches. Is Paris TX too big for you to email all of the churches (or at least the major ones) that are old enough to have been the site of this quilt and see if somebody recognizes the names???? It would only take one senior person to unlock this whole mystery for you!!!!!

I quilted a quilt top from the same time period for another member of his family. The same memory block pattern. it must have been popular at the time. |
