Hello to the Bell list and the Milam list,

My grandmother Lisa Elizabeth( DODD)KITE, had two sisters:

1. Agnes Martha DODD Lowery-married to William Washington Lowrey.
2. Roxie DODD Bryant, born Milam co.tx married: James Gleason Bryant in
McLean
tex. gray co.

The DODD family and I are : seeking living descendants/researchers of these
two women.

They were raised in Milam co. coming to the county about 1885, Agnes married
William Washington LOWREY 23 Oct 1898 in Milam County, TX.(thanks to James
Williams)
I am fairly certain that the Lowery family lived in Bell co. after their
move from Milam co. all their lives and may have relatives there still?

William Lowrey household, 1900 U.S. census, Milam County, Texas, population
schedule. Precinct 4, ED 79, SD 10, sheet 6, dwelling 83, family 83; FHL
copy, film 1241657 -- this has William and his wife, A.M. and their first
daughter, Lela B.(thanks to Joyce Bowley)

Agnes Martha DODD, born 03 Aug 1881 in Bandera County, TX. According to her
death
certificate, her father was Louis DODD, mother Victoria COLLINS,
Agnes died 01 Mar 1966 in Bartlett (Bell Co) TX.

This census shows a child of william lowrey and agnes martha as Lela B.
Lowrey. anyone know any more children or marriages?

The Bryants moved to Hollis, Harmon co. Okla and some live in Pampa, Gray co.
tx. William Washington Byrant, was born 29 Jun 1877 in Milam County, TX, son

Agnes Martha DODD Lowrey died 01 Mar 1966 in Bartlett, Bell County, TX. She
had been a resident at Will-O-Bell Nursing Home in Belton for 3 months prior
to her death. Before being admitted to the nursing home, she had been living

Lula Edna SPARKS, born 18 Dec 1913 in Glen Rose, Somervell County, TX. Lula
is the daughter of James Peterson SPARKS and Tomassie Edna NORTON. Wes and
Lula moved to Tulare, Tulare County, CA shortly after
