monument in the Clarksville, Texas New Haven Cemetery, are the children of Clarence Melvin Raulston, Sr. and Nannie Bess Yarbrough Raulston: Herbert, C.M., Sue,
Kent, and Garland. Check out this 1984 article from The Clarksville Times!!
The below pictures were taken 7 March 2008. Beautiful snowfall that did not stick! |
The below pictures were taken before the 1991 tornado, as well as before the New Haven Baptist Church was torn down. What a difference the trees make to the looks of the cemetery!
This is Derrelline Raulston at Clarence & Nannie Bess Raulston's grave before the tornado. There is no sign of those evergreens now, that's for sure!
Look at all the trees in the cemetery before the tornado!
The above pictures are of the "old" New Haven Baptist Church. The one on the left was the delivery of new pews. The one on the right was taken in May of 1993 with Derrelline Raulston in the pink blouse.
"Great Grandfather William M. Raulston believed in building school houses and doing other things he considered to be of service to his community. He bought and donated to the community the land where the New Haven Church and Cemetery are located. It is still referred to as the Raulston Cemetery by some of the elder non-resident relatives." Quoted from C.M. Raulston's book, The Raulstons of Red River County published in 1973.
UPDATED 26 MARCH 2008 TO INCLUDE "CURRENT" RESIDENTS AND PRE-1991 TORNADO PICS. ALMOST COMPLETE.
