OLD HOME CEMETERY, Shelby County, Texas. We visited and photographed this cemetery on October 29, 2014 with an update to footnote 2 on September 25, 2017. We took a picture of each individual headstone in the cemetery, and will provide pictures free to anyone who wants them.  DIRECTIONS:  from the junction of SR7 and Loop500 just north of Center, go north on 7 about 1¼ mile and turn left on FM1656 (Airport Road). At the intersection with FM699, turn right; go about 6 miles and turn left on CR4455. Old Home Baptist Church is on the right about half a mile up this road; the cemetery is across the road.
    Our paternal great-grandmother (Deborah Ann White Britnell) is buried here along with her son and his wife, Charles Homer and Wealthy J. Britnell, and their daughters Mamie Ola Britnell and Bertie Britnell Blackmon. Charles was the brother of our grandfather.

NOTE 1: Deborah Ann (White) Britnell married John Wesley Campbell Britnell in 1884, about 2 months after the death of his first wife. She bore him two sons: Charles Homer (my great-uncle Charley) and Irbin Marion, my grandfather. They left Franklin County, AL and settled in Shelby County, Texas in time for the 1900 census. Deborah was 42 years old when Irbin was born in 1890 in Alabama; they were in Texas by 1895 when John Wesley helped found Pine Ridge Baptist Church.
NOTE 2:  George Oscar Rivers, Jr. enlisted in the US Army in Houston, TX, as an Infantry Private on September 3, 1941 for service in the Philippines Department. That would have placed him in the Philippines when Pearl Harbor was attacked. He died on active duty; death status code assigned was "DNB" (Died, Not in Battle) which was a catch-all code for a number of active duty deaths not associated with direct combat. Since I have not found an exact date of death, I can't determine if Pvt Rivers died as a result of the Bataan Death March, while in a POW camp, or if he died of an illness or accident before the Japanese overran the Philippines. If he had died in combat he would have been classified as "KIA". Update: a conversation on Sep 25, 2017 with a distant relative verified that Rivers was a part of the Bataan Death March and was incarcerated in a POW  camp in the Philippines. He died and was buried in the Philippines, and was later returned to Shelby County for reburial.

NOTE 3: Carolyn Joe Kilpatrick Patterson was born in Louisiana, and died in a Nursing Home in Timpson, TX at age 94.
NOTE 4:  SM3- Signalman, Petty Officer 3rd Class. Performed visual communications via hand-held signal flags, Morse Code by directional flashing light or yardarm flashing light, and signal flags flying from lanyards to the mast. This Navy rating became obsolete and was disestablished, with those duties transferring to the Quartermaster rating.
