From: dysmithroyer@dtgnet.com
Seeking ANY information about Hezekiah M. Riley and his family. I believe he may have gone by the name Hez Riley. He may have died June perhaps May or earlier of 1922. I would like a obit of him or any family member, if anyone has access to microfilmed newspapers of the area. He was suppose to live in or near FALFURRIAS, TEXAS. I have a great deal of Riley research to share. thank you Diane - dysmithroyer@dtgnet.com
