C. C. Perrin
    C. C. Perrin, 72, was born on October 4, 1845, in Lamar County, Texas, the
son of Newton Perrin of Tennessee and Miss L. A. Carney of Kentucky.  He was a
school teacher and married.  W. E. Braly, Celeste, Texas, was the informant. 
Mr. Perrin died in Dallas, Dallas County, Texas, at the Saint George Hotel on
February 10, 1918.  He had been in Dallas for eleven days.  Burial was made in
Compton Cemetery, near Roxton, Texas, on February 11, 1918.  (6646)

To correct the C. C. Perrin information on his death certificate and give
addtional information:

As to CC Perrin's burial, he is buried next to Ella in the Compton Cemetery
south of Roxton.  The cemetery is now on an 1800-acre ranch and private
property.  The land abuts a section that was originally bought by my
gggrandfather, James Madison Perrin.  He and his brother Isaac, C.C. Perrin's
father, lived there before James sold it to Isaac and moved to the Mount Vernon
area.  That land south of Roxton, stayed in the Perrin family until Ella died. 
I do not know what happened after that.

The cemetery is one acre and is all grown up in trees.  When we visited, we had
not learned to take flour along to enhance the engraving on the stones.  We have
always planned to go back, but haven't yet.  We have learned where the caretaker
of the ranch lives, and it would be easier to get to the cemetery with his
permission.

    I am not sure if Professor Perrin was buried in Celeste as his death
certificate states.  I will need to check Richard Jackson's web page and
material.  I guess I was tired last night.  I found Sara Neale's obit in The
Dallas Morning News and apparently didn't copy it.  She had taught in Midland
and was a librarian at Texas A&M when she died.  The newspaper article said that
the collision occurred near Devers.  By the way, her picture was beautiful.  Now
let me see, one of the boys married a Yeager.  Yes, it was Robert Burke Neale,
Jr., the son of Pearl Masters.  Robert married Mary Gaynelle Yeager, the
daughter of A. F. Yeager.  Her wedding picture was in the paper and she was
beautiful.  She had graduated from Denton and had taught at Buckner Orphans Home
before she married.  We just intertwine and twist around in our patchwork quilt
of living
