Are you related to John Goodyear in Beaumont at St. Stephen's Episcopal? Does the choir still dress like smurfs?

The Carrolls and the Stevens are my ancestors - I am the great granddaughter of a Stevens and a Carroll union. 3 generations of Carrolls and Stevens are buried in this cemetery - both sets of great great great grandparents, both sets of great great grandparents, and both sets of great grandparents. And countless cousins, etc. I am probably related to almost everyone in Victoria and Yoakum, TX.
The first weekend of May is the annual Decoration Day where you spend Saturday cleaning up the cemetery and putting out new silk flowers, and then Sunday after lots of gospel singing at the tiny Fordtran Church of Christ (the Carrolls are not Baptists like the Stevens and we do church with the Carrolls), there is a big picnic on the grounds of the cemetery. The Carrolls, Stevens, and Fudges (another intermarrying clan) are all represented.
More than you wanted to know, I'm sure.
