Hemphill, TX - Janis Tolbert Bolton, 85, of Hemphill, TX passed away after a lengthy illness on Friday, December 15, 2017. She was born on January 27, 1932 in Hineston, LA to John Alton Tolbert and Essie Wilson Tolbert.
Janis was born during the Great Depression, she told of how her mother had to borrow two cents to buy a postage stamp, just to let her father know of her birth. Janis always treated each item she purchased with such meticulous care because she knew what it meant to go without. She also never threw anything away; just ask her children that moved her several times throughout the years.
Janis loved gardening, sewing, shopping, and fishing, this love she shared with her children. When you were around her you saw the bright light of Jesus. She strived daily to serve others, always looking to identify anything she could do to help and or ease someone's burden. Janis was very quiet but when she spoke it was with the softness of angels. She loved her family with overwhelming selflessness. Demonstrating a true servant's heart, she worked with individuals with disabilities in both Louisiana and Texas before retiring from Lufkin State School in 2001.
Janis was preceded in death by her parents, John Tolbert and Essie Tolbert, brother Herman Tolbert and brother Alton Tolbert.

Nanci Pressley-Holley, in the Rootsweb World Connect: Pressley-Price Family Tree instead shows Mark Butler Travis as the son of Barret Travis by his first wife Elizabeth DeLoach. She shows Barret and Elizabeth as having the following three Children:
Elizabeth Travis b 1771 m Mumford DeJarnette Perryman Mark Butler Travis b. 6 Sept 1783 M Jemima Stallworth Alexander Doniphan Travis b. 25 Aug 1890 m. Mary Ann Williams
Noted the age gap and the age of his mother at his birth. It could be that his birth year is in error, or that he might not actually be a child of John and Mary (Wilson) Travis.
Her Texas Death certificate, viewable online at FamilySearch.org, Texas Deaths, 1890-1976, showed that she was a housewife and that her home was about 8 miles north of Silsbee in rural Hardin County, Texas. The informant was her son, Louis Travis.
A direct descendant emailed, in July 2013, that "Cannon Bolin "Babe" Travis, lived & died in Bancroft, LA wife-Grace Ann Whitman Travis children-James Allen Travis, Palmer Jesse Travis, CB Travis, Willis Eugene Travis, and Robert Grayson Travis."
Charles Edward Travis, Texas Ranger, United States Army officer, and son of Rosanna (Cato) and William Barret Travis, was born in Alabama in 1829. After his father's death at the Alamo young Charles lived in New Orleans with his mother and stepfather, Dr. Samuel B. Cloud, but upon their deaths in 1848 moved to Brenham to live with his sister, Mrs. John (Susan Isabella) Grissett.
After becoming a member of the Texas bar he was elected to the legislature to represent Caldwell and Hays counties in 1853? 54. He served briefly as captain of Company E of the Texas Rangers, which was stationed at Fort Clark, and was commissioned captain in the Second United States Cavalry on March 5, 1855, and appointed to the command of Company H, which he recruited at Evansville, Indiana. On August 6, 1855, he reported with his new command at Jefferson Barracks, Missouri, where Second Lt. Robert C. Wood, Jr., preferred charges of slander against him. On the march to Texas charges of cheating at cards and unauthorized absence from camp were brought against him.
Eliza G. Johnston remarked in her diary that Travis was "a mean fellow...no one respects or believes a word [he] says," and on December 10, 1855, Col. Albert Sidney Johnston relieved him of command and placed him "under arrest in quarters." To a formal charge of "conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman," Travis pleaded not guilty. He retained H. M. Lewis as his counsel; as an attorney himself, however, Travis mainly handled his own defense. Capt. Eugene E. McLean of the Quartermaster Department was appointed judge advocate, and Lt. Col. Henry Bainbridge of the First Infantry served as president. The court-martial, which convened on March 15, 1856, at Fort Mason, proved one of the most sensational in Texas history with Colonel Johnston and many of Travis's fellow officers testifying against him. After almost a month of testimony and deliberation, Travis was found guilty of all three charges on April 11 and was dismissed from service on May 1, 1856.
Claiming that the graduates of the United States Military Academy at West Point had discriminated against him as an appointee to the regiment from civilian life, Travis enlisted the assistance of the Texas legislature to help clear his name. A joint committee examined the testimony and recommended that he be publicly vindicated. On August 30, 1856, the legislature issued a joint resolution stating that "the sentence was not sustained by the testimony," and requesting that President Franklin Pierce reexamine the proceeding and reverse the findings of the court martial. When Pierce refused to reopen the case, Travis took the unwise step of attempting to force several of the officers who had testified against him to recant. This tactic led to a backlash of public sentiment against Travis, who thereupon returned to his sister's home in Washington County, where he died of consumption in 1860. William B. Travis's "little boy" was buried in the Masonic Cemetery at Chappell Hill.

?b?Charles Kirk Travis
?/b?( November 18, 1949 - March 01, 2019 )
Charles "Kirk" Travis, 69, passed from this life on Friday, March 1, 2019 at his home in Largo, Fl with his wife of 23 years, Wendy Daigle Travis, and his son, Joshua Daigle, of Fredericksburg, Virginia at his side. He was born in Port Arthur, Texas to Mildred and Jessie Travis and grew up in east Texas where he enjoyed baseball, fishing, and family.
Kirk served his country with the United States Air Force and was a retired/disabled veteran. He loved cooking and fishing but his greatest love was music. He had a great love for the Lord throughout his life and was blessed with an extraordinary talent for music and an amazing voice that he used to glorify the Savior and touch many lives. He began singing as a young boy with his identical twin brother, Kent, and after retiring from the Air Force he spent many years playing and singing southern gospel music, despite suffering from heart and kidney disease. Among the groups he played with throughout the years were The Sounds of Victory of East Texas, the Jubillaires of Winter Haven, Fl, and the Troubadors of Largo, Fl.
?u? ?/u?He is survived by his wife, Wendy Travis, and son, Joshua Daigle, of Virginia; son, James Travis; daughter, Charlie Howard; older brother, Phillip Travis; twin brother Kent Travis, all of Texas; four grandchildren, Chrissy White, Savannah Daigle, Makenna Daigle, and Jaxon Daigle; two great grandsons, along with nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents he is preceded in death by one grandson, J.T. White of Texas.
Kirk was a gentle soul who touched many with his music. He will be greatly missed but is surely now at home with the Lord and singing in that heavenly choir.
It was Kirk's wish to be cremated. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, March 23 at 1:00 p.m. at Teakwood Village Park, 800 North Missouri Ave. Largo, FL in the Aloha building. Interment will be held at 1:00 p.m. on March 25, 2019 at Bay Pines National Cemetery, 10000 Bay Pines Blvd., St. Petersburg, FL. To honor Kirk's memory, donations may be made to the Disabled American Veterans, Shriner's Hospital, or the charity of your choice.
A memorial service will also be held at Starr Funeral Home Chapel in Hemphill, Texas Saturday, March 23, 2019 at 2:00 p.m.
