7. | Florence Drawhorn was born on 1 Aug 1867; died on 25 Dec 1894 in Texas; was buried in Tebo Cemetery, Sabine County, Texas. Notes:
Married:
The FindAGrave memorial for Jim Baldree's first wife, and his eldest son, has photos of two markers for Florence. One appears to be a handmade cement marker, with handdrawh or handengraved death information. The second is a presumably newer pink granite marker with her name and dates of birth profesionally engraved. The older marker is double, and she shares this with her son, Robert. It is inscribed as follows:
Bob Baldree, Born Sept 28, 1889 Died July 12, 1928
Florence Baldree, Born Aug 1, 1867 Died Dec. 25 1894
It is engraved in all capital letters, and the letter N is write backwards in each case. It appears both of the original markers were installed sometime after 1963, when Robert died.
There is a second seperate granite marker for Bob as well.
On the annotated transcription of the Tebo Cemetery they also note that a marker is at the foot of "Florence" and is inscribed "Wife of J. D. Baldree"...assuming that the double marker for Florence and Bob is in error, due to Bob not being the name of her husband. As Bob is actually the eldest son of J. D. and Florence, it is accurate.
Children:
- Robert "Bob" Baldree was born on 28 Sep 1889 in Texas; died on 12 Jul 1928 in Texas; was buried in Tebo Cemetery, Sabine County, Texas.
- 3. Estella Baldree was born on 25 Dec 1893 in Texas; died on 9 Mar 1972 in San Augustine, San Augustine County, Texas; was buried in San Augustine City Cemetery, San Augustine County, Texas.
