Notes:

Death death is based on a single SSDI record matching a “J Herndon,” born in April 1903 and issued a social-security number in Texas.

Through about 1925, Mobile, Tyler County, Texas was the location of a saw mill and logging camp situated about 4 miles northwest of the contemporary town of Colmesneil. The settlement no longer exists.

Commonly known to the descendants of James Augustus Herndon as “J Kirby Herndon,” Kirby only added the initial “J” upon entering the military where he was required to register with three names (or initials). He was know as J. Kirby Herndon from that point forward.

James married Flora Gertrude Bradford on 3 Sep 1885 in _______, Lamar County, Texas, United States. Flora was born on 21 Nov 1868 in High Point, Moniteau County, Missouri, United States; died on 18 Jul 1953 in _______, Jasper County, Texas, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Although many census records refer to “Gertrude F Bradford,” most vital records refer to “Flora Gertrude Bradford”.

Flora Gertrude (Bradford) Herndon probably died in Kirbeyville, but [TxDoH-1953a] only lists the county.

A grand-daughter, Katherine Bevil (age 7) is enumerated in the household of James Augustus Herndon and Flora Gertrude (Bradford) Herndon in 1930. This individual is probably the daughter of May Christine Herndon and her, as yet, unknown spouse named “Bevil”. Further research is required.
