Paul, sorry. I should have gone into Letty's site first .... We are
talking about TWO (2) SEPARATE CEMETERIES here ...... the history of this black
group has been muddled, and people keep picking up errors ... me included.
Actually THREE ... note the Key Map coordinates ....
Blackstock, Woods, etc. are here:
59. BOTTOMS, The: aka Southside, aka Faulkey Gulley. Black. Behind
Lakewood Forest Country Club (15006 Lakewood Forest, 77070) on opposite side of
drainage ditch. One of two cemeteries at the Kohrville community (qv) on FM 149
(now 249, the Tomball Parkway). Nov 2000 visit found grounds in deplorable
condition; saw evidence of being use for parties; very overgrown and secluded with
backyard gates opening into the cemetery. See The Heritage of North Harris
County, 1977. It has also been reported incorrectly as Dowdell (qv). RECORDED as
Faulkey Gully Cemetery in The Tejas Gazette 4:4:1999. Also see Kohrville
Community Cemetery (qv). 329W
Friends of the Bottoms Cemetery plans for a restoration project to begin
January 2002, spearheaded by The ACE [Association of Compaq Employees]
Genealogy Club, Lugenia "Genie" Parham-Evans, President. 281.970-5461 or
or <A HREF="http://www.evansparham.com/">http://www.evansparham.com/</A>;
154. FAULKEY GULLEY CEMETERY: See The Bottoms. 329W
I guess someone needs to get with it and do some extensive research and write
a corrected paper. While it is very good, many people begin with the
reference HERITAGE OF NORTH HARRIS COUNTY by a chapter of the University Women, which
has errors and is not documented. I think in the not too distant future we
will see a new book out - I need to check to see how it's coming - and it will
be "source cited."
