Obituary, from FindAGrave:
"Obituary: Mr. R.E. Boyett, age 57, died at his home near Rosevine Saturday morning, April 30, after a short period of illness.
Having eaten a hearty lunch on Thursday preceding his death, he returned to work apparently in good health. But he was found late that afternoon unconscious, in which condition he, it is believed, had been for several hours. He never regained consciousness.
He was buried Sunday May 1 in the Gravelhill Cemetary. A very large crowd attended the funeral. The services were conducted by Rev. A.J. Edgar. After the services the body was taken in charge by the Hemphill Order of Free Masons, of which he had been a member for several years, and buried in Masonic fashion.
Mr. Boyett spent the first fifty years of his life in the Gravelhill community at the end of which time he moved near Rosevine where he lived until his death. He is known in both places not only as a devoted father and husband but also as a sincere Christian. He always used his utmost influence in promoting the general welfare of his fellowmen, never faltering when duty called him. The community shares with his family the loss of him, for both have lost a leader that can never be replaced.
Surviving are his wife and seven children all of whom reside in this county except Mrs. Leonard Cordray of the Panhandle District and Aaron Boyett of Junction Texas.
...A Friend"

9. | Elisha Oliver Boyett (2.John2, 1.Mary1) was born on 3 Jan 1891 in Texas; died on 22 Feb 1958 in Sabine County, Texas; was buried on 23 Feb 1958 in Gravel Hill Cemetery, Sabine County, Texas. Notes:
Kary Parker McCary shows he married Ethel Marie Speir (1908-1964) who is also buried at Gravel Hill Cemetery. Did he also marry Nina Ethel Ludlow? She is shown as his spouse on FindAGrave, born 1894 Sabine County, died 1962, and buried int he Fairmount Cemetery. Nina Ethel is shown as a daughter of John L. LUDLOW, and she and Elisha are shown as the parents of Orval Valentine BOYETT (1919-1975), buried in Gravel Hill (Orval's Find A Grave Memorial Number is 81514854).
These families should be examined closely, as it is possible that the two Ethel's are being confused or conflated. To add to the confusion, Donley Burl Boyett, the brother of Elisha, is ALSO linked by FindAGrave to Ethel Marie Speir (1908-1964).

23. | Willie Orma Boyett (4.Robert2, 1.Mary1) was born on 29 Oct 1903 in Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas; died on 17 Oct 1985 in Austin, Travis County, Texas; was buried in Junction Cemetery, Junction, Kimble County, Texas. Notes:
Willie was married first to Titus Coon, who was the father of her only child, daughter Bobbie. He left the family when Bobbie was born, leaving sole responsibility for raising their chid with Willie.
Both Bobbie Louise, still just a toddler, and Willie's widowed mother, Clarissa Conn Boyett, died within a few days of each other from pneumonia in March, 1935. Willie had been caring for them both.
Martha White, a niece of Willie's wrote that "Apparently Bobbie was a beloved, vivacious child adored by the whole community. Willie had saved the dress "they tore off my baby" when she was ill...and all the sympathy notes. There is a lovely story I never heard--until Mom [Annie Lora Boyett White] was in the nursing home and had dementia--and it was at a sermon Jackson [Boyett, Marti's cousin] gave. When Grandmother (who also was beloved and a popular member of the Junction community) and Bobbie died in the same week...it was rough in so many ways. She (Clarissa) had cooked for prisoners in the jail, as Ernest was sheriff then. One was financial. Times had been very, very hard for a long time and our family was poor...Anyway, Ernest went to the funeral home to make arrangements to try to pay for the funerals and was told there was no bill. What? Yes, the community thought so highly of him, Grandmother, Bobbie and the family that they had all contributed and paid off the two funerals. So, there are deep, abiding and loving roots with our family in Junction.
All are buried in the Junction cemetery.
Later in her live, Willie worked for the State and also worked at times at the Capitol.
Her husband, Sox [Hoy Reginald Smith], worked and retired from the Texas General Land Office.
The following biography, from FindAGrave, was also prepared by Martha White
Willie Orma Boyett was born to Robert and Clarissa Boyett in Sabine County, Texas on October 17, 1903. Mrs. Smith's first marriage to Titus Coon in East Texas produced one adorable child - a daughter named Bobbie Louise Coon - who passed away at age 4 of pneumonia - three days before Willie's own mother died of the same in Junction, Texas in 1935. Willie never got over the loss of her precious girl. Willie remarried Hoy Reginald "Sox" Smith in Kimble County, Junction, Texas, on Christmas Day 1939. Willie and Sox were married for 39 years until his death in January 1979. Wille is buried in Junction by her daughter, Bobbie Coon, her Mother Clarissa Conn Boyett and her husband, Hoy R. "Sox" Smith. Mrs. Smith loved to cook, can, garden and sew. She was always helping out others whether sending over food or making baby clothes for families who could not afford to buy any. She was a loving daughter, wife, sister and aunt. She is greatly missed.
Willie married Samuel Titus Coon, Sr. about 1929. Samuel was born on 15 Feb 1907 in Cass County, Texas; died on 19 Aug 1974 in Jasper County, Texas; was buried in Trout Creek Cemetery, Newton County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

He was listed as a rancher and owned land in Kimble County in the vicinity of his mentor, former Texas Governor Coke Stevenson. His sister-in-law, Mary Bolt, operated the Telegraph Post Office from 1947 to 1950.

His first marriage was to Sylvia Bolt and ended at her death in 1974. Ernest remarried on November 26, 1975 to Mrs. Frances Lindsey of Austin to whom he was married until his death. Mr. Boyett lived in Kimble County on his ranch that adjoined the of ranch of Coke Stevenson (Texas's World War II Governor).

Telegraph consisted of Mr. Boyett's house, the Pink House, the General Store he owned and had a population high of 6! Mr. Boyett served as Governor Stevenson's Executive Secretary. Ernest was connected to a famous bit of Texas history - he was working for Gov. Stephenson when Stevenson ran for election to the United States Senate against President Lyndon B. Johnson. Gov. Stevenson was winning until Box 13 in Duvall County was found and the votes therein narrowly gave the election win to LJB. In addition, Boyett was Sargeant-of-Arms for the Texas House of Representatives. Finally, Mr. Boyett was the Public Relations Director for the Lone Star Book Depository a position he held for many years and until his death. Ernest was preceded in death by both parents, all but three of his siblings, and his first wife Sylia Bolt Boyett.
After he died there was a resolution from in the Texas Legislature honoring his years of service. This resolution can be viwed here:

An old newspaper column. Called "The Sage of the Sage Hills, TOM MARTIN, Says..."Wonder why all beauties cain't have a personality like Anne Boyett in the liquor control board. Anne is not only purty but she has a sense uv humor equal to an ole puncher. She can laugh until it is time to quit laughin'. Boy, whut a politician she's make..." (Seems to be a mainly political remarks column) -- back of print on other side is a Feb 26th date...no year. ..unfortunately, date cut off.

Obituary
Beloved mother, Anne L. Boyett White, 73, went to be with Our Lord after a lengthy illness on December 10, 1995. Ms. White was a lifelong Texan born in Sabine County, the ninth and last child of Robert E. and Clarissa A. Conn Boyett. All her siblings preceded her in death. Ms. White grew up in Junction, Texas, graduating from Junction High School in 1940. She lived in Austin since 1945, where she attended the University of Texas. She was a member of the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd.
Ms. White retired in 1987 from the Texas House of Representatives after 20 years of service to the State of Texas. During her tenure as a staff member for the Texas House of Representatives, she was loved and admired for the bravery and courage she exhibited while fighting three different types of cancer over the years. She was very tenacious, often going to work on days when no one could imagine where she found the strength. She faced whatever life tossed her way with grace and a positive attitude. Ms. White always thought of others before herself. She was a caring and devoted sibling. As a mother, she set an example of how one should live life that will be difficult to follow. To describe the type of mother she was is easy - she was simply the best. No child has ever had a more loving, caring and supportive Mom.
Ms. White was never too busy to help a friend or a stranger. Animals and children gravitated towards her. She loved to work the daily crossword puzzle and has been known to play Scrabble until 4:00 a.m. when given the chance. Her motto was ''Be Nice'' and through her loving nature she earned the respect and love of all she knew. Ms. White is survived by her immediate family: Martha, Winston and Fala White.
Others survivors include her nephew, The Reverend Jackson Boyett and his wife Barbara, of Austin; her niece, Billie Cushway and her husband, Stan, of Modesto, California; The Honorable Clayton Evans and his wife, Yvonne, of Burnet; her niece, Sammie Lehmann and her husband, Bill, of Texas City; her nephew, Aaron Patrick Boyett and his wife, Bette, of Ft. Worth; numerous great and great-great nieces and nephews and cousins. The family wishes to extend special thanks to Hospice of Austin.
The family requests in lieu of flowers donations be made to Hospice of Austin or the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd. Funeral services will be held at the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd at 10:00 a.m. Wednesday, December 13, 1995. Reverend Anne Hoey will be officiating.

Obituary
From FindAGrave
Cyndi Rocha, loving wife, mother, grammy, aunt and friend passed away unexpectedly. She was 52 years old. Born and raised in Texas, nearly her entire adult life was spent in the Riverdale/Lemoore area of the Central Valley.
Cyndi had a diverse professional career. She worked as a paralegal, an administrative assistant, a locator at Kings County's Department of Child Support Services, and, until her death, as the Visitor Services Manager at the Clark Center for Japanese Art and Culture in Hanford.
In addition to her professional life, Cyndi donated her time and energy to helping others in need. Remembered as an extraordinary listener, she often took on the individual burdens of those experiencing personal problems. Cyndi did not like injustice or to see people suffer. If someone had a problem, she would fix it. As a result, Cyndi will be remembered by so many people for the profound impact that she had on their lives.
Nearly everyone who knew Cyndi would remark that she made them laugh. Her sense of humor was infectious and always appreciated. Cyndi was an incredible wife, mother, grandmother, aunt and friend. She left us so unexpectedly and she will be missed dearly.
Cyndi is survived by Stan, her loving husband of 34 years; son, Ryan, his wife Carrie; grandchildren, Amanda and Aaron; son, Shawn; daughter, Jill, her husband William Rule, granddogs Max and Mia; and her dogs, Lilly, Peenie and Cassie, whom she loved immensely.
A visitation was held on Monday, April 6, at Phipps-Dale Funeral Chapel in Lemoore. Recitation of the Rosary and Mass of Christian Burial was held on Tuesday, April 7, at St. Peter's Catholic Church with burial following at the Lemoore Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting that donations be made to the Clark Center for Japanese Art and Culture, 15770 10th Avenue, Hanford, CA 93230, Cyndi's beloved employer for the past six years.
