I am looking for family burials in Goliad County, Texas ... the surnames of interest are RICHEY and WORD ... in particular I am looking for the burial place of Callie [maiden name WORD] RICHEY who I believe was born abt 1851 and died in TX (with burial in Goliad) in or abt. 1880. I am also looking for her son's place of burial -- William Word RICHEY born TX 1876 and died Webb Co. TX 1932 ... his death certificate says his body was tramsported to Goliad, TX for burial ... I believe he would have been interned near his mother and possibly other WORD family members ... any assistance is appreciated.

If you live in S.TX. the Goliad Museum a block from the Courthouse had a book with the listing of County Cemetery's for sale. It has a good listing of those burried in the county. If I can dig my copy up I bought I'll check your names for you. Will

Thanks so much for the reply ... I don't live in Texas so can't check for the book there like you suggested ... unless there is a way to do this online? But, if you should come across your copy sometime though and are willing to do a look-up then I would be most grateful.

Sorry, I find no Richey's listed. There are many unmarked graves in the Oak Hill Cemetery so perhaps it may be the place but no documentation. There show to be two Words buried in Oak Hill Cemetery being- Morton 1868-1880 & Preston 1838-1875. One Word is buried in the Peck Cemetery(also in Goliad)- Viola Peck Word ?-1869 The last Word I find in this book is from the Mortality Schedule from the 1870 census showing a Victoria Word who died from inflamation & shows her being born in Miss.. Wish I could have been more help. Good luck- Will

Thanks so very much for the lookup. I really appreciate your help. I don’t have a connection (yet) for a Morton or Preston WORD. I do though for Victoria WORD ... Ann Victoria WORD born about 1848 in Houston, Chickasaw, Mississippi, died Jan 1870 in Goliad, Goliad, Texas. FYI (and just in case someday someone out there is looking ever) Ann Victoria WORD (1848-1870) was the sister of Callie [WORD] RICHEY. Of course, it’s Callie and her son Will RICHEY that I am looking for their place(s) of burial. Also -- just in case -- other siblings of Callie and Victoria WORD were: Virginia Smith WORD (1840-1908); Mary Virginia WORD (1842-?); Bruce L WORD (1843-?); James Thomas WORD (1846-1909);and William Evans WORD (1858-?) ... and another associated Surname for this WORD family is PITTMAN, J. H. & Laura. Thanks again!
