Rose Hill Cemetery was named by Mrs Lula B. Tomlinson. She said “We have the
hill some day we will have the roses.”
Mr. W. T. Adams is thought to have donated land for the cemetery.
Later a fee was paid for it by W. B. Hale, County Judge.
Louis H. Harrel was the first known person buried in the Tulia Cemetery
(his grave was the first marked grave). This stone says Harrell. The second
grave was a four year old, Robert Alonzo Hutchinson, son of W. B. and Virginia
Hutchinson.
You can find more information about this cemetery in the book Windmilling
(1876-1977).

Hello there! I am researching the Gray family that founded the town of Tule(Tulia).
I am looking for living descendants because I am restoring the cemetery in WV that one of early Grays are buried, namely Mary Jane Remly Gray(1853-1864); w/o Andrew Wiley Gray(1833-1859). I have been on the phone w/ the Clerks office and hit a dead end on a Mable(Maple) Gray, her marriage or death.Do you happen to have marriage for her? Thanks for your help and Thanks to Zoe for putting pics of Mable’s grandparents’(Tristram A.Gray) home online!
Maple appears in the California Death Index. I found the following on Ancestry.com:
Name: Maple G Gray
Social Security #: 462528810
Sex: Female
Birth Date: 20 Jan 1905
Birthplace: Texas
Death Date: 30 Jul 1982
Death Place: Alameda
Mother’s Maiden Name: Scott
Since she died with her maiden name, she may not have ever married. Hope this helps.
I’m seeing now that she may have married someone with the last name King and lived in Philadelphia at the time of her grandfather’s death from his obituary on findagrave. I’ll see if I can find anything more about a marriage for her.
