Rufus Washington PEEL was born on 17 FEB 1863 (birth certificate of Olive Winona Peel) in Uvalde, Uvalde, TX. He died on 29 JUN 1949 in Bexar, TX.(Death certificate) He was a Farmer. He was also known as Rufus Wilson. (birth certificate of Delila May Peel) Maybe died 1948??:1900 - Beeville, Bee County 1910 - Nueces County 1949 - Bexar County
DIANA CRAVY:She was buried in Evergreen Cern, Beeville, Bee, TX. Large headstone broken and missing most of it says Mrs. R W Peel. A different headstone next to that one also says Mrs R W Peel and has the dates for Birth & Death.. Could be two Mrs RW Peels? She was also known as Annie Craven. ( Birth certificates of Delilia and Olive Peel that was filed by Virginia V. Peel 60 years later) Virginia Vanora Peel thought her name was Annie Craven. There was an Annie Craven in the same town that Rufus and Diana got married and I believe that she was a family friend and Virginia got the names mixed up?? Sources: Marriages in Bee county mentions Annie Craven.
JANE PIERCE:Janice was a cook at the boarding house they were staying at when Manuel was born in Dec 1878 in boarding house at Ardmore, OK. She married Rufus Peel after Manuel Salazar died.
