DEAN, HAYES, MCEACHERN, TAYLOR posted by Ray Turner on Friday, May 9, 1997

Ray Turner Friday May 9 15:30 1997 MCEACHERN ; TAYLOR: I am looking for Johnny McEachern for a distant relative, Mary DEAN, who lives in Fayetteville, Ga. Johnny married a Sissy HAYES, they had two children, Wiley and Winnie. They moved from Georgia to Texas, time is unknown. Mrs. Dean visited this family in the summer of 1940 on a farm near Nash, Texas. Johnny McEachern was already dead at that time(1940). Sissie (Hayes) McEachern's funeral was sometime in the 1940AEs. Wiley McEachern was injured at birth and was mentally retarded, and is presumed dead now also. Winnie married an Edward Taylor and visited relatives in Atlanta several times after her husband, Edward, had died. Mrs. Dean kept in touch with Winnie Taylor until the summer of 1985, and lost all contact with her. She is sure the McEachern and Taylor families are buried in or near Nash , Texas. She has no dates of births or deaths. I have not been able to locate any Bowie County Cemetery books. I would appreciate any information on any of these people.
