Neeham (and wife Ella) are listed in Post Oak Cemetery, on the Jack Co, TX GenWeb site. But Martha was buried in Dallas, was her husband buried there? At age 101 there should be something in the newspaper, either in Jack, where she resided, or Dallas where she was buried.

You might try the Dallas Public library for her obit, or a news article. They have a large genealogy collection.

Go to Rootsweb's WorldConnect site -- http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi -- Type in Bell, Thomas, spouse Doss and there are 3 matches. I think the third one is the one with the most. You can contact the submitter and share information on the family line.

Happy Hunting (^_^)
