from Stephanie Katauskas:
"Levi (also Levy) Hill Ware's (also Weir) grave is there at the Ware Cemetery (d. 1858) as well as his infant son (d.
1857) with wife Elizabeth Vinson Ware (who went on to marry James Winwright Flanagan).
"There is a source (Thornton 1938, see below) that says a Walter Robinson is buried there (d. sometime after 1900)
although his grave is no longer extant. Robinson was the father of Mrs. Clarence Flanagan (Thornton 1938). Erin L.
Robinson Flanagan was the first wife of Clarence R. Flanagan. In 1900, the Robinson family was living in the second
precinct of Rusk County. A farmer from Alabama, Robinson owned his farm. Daughter Erin Robinson, age 23, was in
residence at the time (U.S. Department of the Interior, Census Office 1900). Clarence Flanagan, son of David Webster
Flanagan and second wife Sallie P. Ware Flanagan, married Erin Robinson in 1904. By 1910, Clarence and Erin lived in the
third precinct of Rusk County, where they owned a farm (U.S. Department of the Interior, Census Office 1910). It is
unknown when Walter Robinson died. He is not listed in the 1910 Rusk County Census and it is possible that he died
between 1900 and 1910 (U.S. Department of the Interior, Census Office 1900, 1910).
"The cemetery is on private property on the Benjamin Ellis Survey, west of Tatum, near the old community of
Flanagan. It is near the intersection of the railroad and Flanagan Rd. I have some more info on Levi Ware if you need
it. Oh, and I attached some pictures for you. Hope this helps!
