Graduated with a BS in Sociology in 1978. Have been one of the main organizers of the Hightower Family Reunion for the past twenty five years. The reunion is held every two years in Hunstville and has an attendance of upward to four hundred member and friends. I hope this site will aid family members in their pursuit of genealogy information. I will be highlighting Hightower Bethel, Hightower Cemetery Cotton Creek, Pine Bluff,Holloway, and Mt. Prairie Cemeteries. For more information on Black Cemeteries in Walker County Texas, go to the following link, http://www.afrigeneas.com/library/tx-walker/tx-walker.pdf. This is a manual written by Ruth Stubblefield and my mother, the late Dorothy Mae Hightower. It is the definitive work on the Black cemeteries of Walker county. I reside in Las Vegas, Nevada.
