Really need help with obit

MaryGordonSmith — 12 Jul 2007 3:02:02 GMT

I have found so very little on this family line and hope someone can help me by locating an obit.
Ophelia Gordon married Bruce Chivers in AL and later moved state by state until they land in OK. Believe both to have died are buried somewhere near Tillman Co after 1930. They had several children, but know more on this one from online records.
Audry/Audrey Ophelia Chivers m. abt 1910, Leroy 'Roy' Wynn.
Audry d. Aug 1976 (per SSI) and was buried 13 Aug 1976 in Frederick Memorial Cemetery. Leroy d. Mar 1969 and was buried 27 March, same cemetery. I only found three children by this couple and several stayed in the general area. Hoping Audry's obit will help me locate some living family that can help me put all the pieces together.
Thanks in advance

Lone Oak Cemetery, Tillman Co. OK

Can anyone tell me if there is a Lone Oak Cemetery in Tillman County? I cannot find any on-line reference to it.

Solomon Cornelius

1darwin — 17 May 2007 12:22:15 GMT

Searching for information on Solomon Cornelius, born in Blount Co., AL abt Nov 1837. His last known residence was in Tillman Co., OK. The 1920 census shows:

1920 Tillman Co., OK, ED 182, Sh 7B: Solomon Cornelius, 83, AL; Mary S., 64, TN.

He does not appear in the 1930 census. Based on his age in 1920, it is very likely he died in Tillman Co.

I would like to establish when he died and where he is buried.

JOHNSON, OE - Obit

HGrisso — 30 Oct 2007 9:04:51 GMT

From the Medford (OR) Mail Tribune 10-21-2007 at www.mailtribune.com

Photo included

Mr. OE Johnson, 94, of Medford, passed away at his home on October 17, 2007. Mr. Johnson was born in Frederick, Okla., on September 19, 1913, to Orville E. and Mamie E. Johnson. He was preceded in death by his two brothers. His family moved to Santa Barbara, Calif., where he spent his teenage years while his father, an oil well driller worked on the oil platforms on the coast at Goleta, Calif. Mr. Johnson (OE was really his first name) was a very devout Christian all of his life and never wavered in his faith and trust in his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

He married Lupe Agness Bandin on July 2, 1938, and they lived in San Francisco, Calif., where he proudly led a youth group at his local church. When World War II broke out in the Pacific, he worked under civilian contract to the U.S. Navy and was stationed with his wife, "Lou", in Honolulu, Hawaii, where during the months and years following the attack at Pearl Harbor he was a welder and riveter, repairing aircraft carriers at the Naval base there. His wife worked in the Civil Service at the offices at the base. After the war, they both moved back to San Francisco, Calif., then Burbank, Calif., where they bought a house across the street from Warner Brother Studios. He worked for Paris Ace beauty supply company. He stayed on as a sales representative for them all of his life until retirement. OE and Lou finally made a decision to be close to their only daughter, their grandchildren, and son-in-law in Medford. So they moved here in 1998. He faithfully attended the First Baptist Church on Crater Lake Ave. until his health forced him to stay home.

Mr. Johnson was a kind, simple, old fashioned man. A staunch American patriot who could never understand why someone would want to deface or disrespect the flag that so many of his fellow countrymen died defending. You didn't have to wonder if he was sincere in his religious beliefs. It showed in everything he said and did, and he was a living example of God's love to his family and friends. After 94 years on this world, he is finally in the loving arms of his Lord he so faithfully loved and served, and he will be Eternally remembered by his family.

He is survived by his loving and faithful wife of 69 years; his daughter Lana, his ex-son-in-law; John Csaftis, whom he always considered his own son; and his grandchildren, Ryan Csaftis, Jennifer Webbe and their families.

Mr. Johnson will be entombed next to his beloved mother at the Mausoleum in the Pines at the Santa Barbara Cemetery, in Santa Barbara, Calif., with a small family service.

POW/MIA Korean War, Tillman Co. DUNCAN

powmiadna — 29 Sep 2007 10:07:06 GMT

I am searching for the family of a soldier who was killed in the Korea War. When he entered service he gave Tillman County Oklahoma as his home of record.

Soldier: LESTER ARLEY DUNCAN
Born: 1931
Date of loss: July 20, 1950. POW

When the Korean War ended the enemy never returned or accounted for over 8,000 of our servicemen. They died in their hands. That was over 50 years ago. Since that time DNA has been perfected and also they are recovering remains in North Korea. Our government is obligated to return those remains to the proper family. DNA samples have been obtained from most of the families of these missing soldiers. For various reasons some families have not been located. There are 45 families in Oklahoma that have not been located. There is one family from Tillman County that has not been located.

When the remains are recovered and identified they will be returned to the family for proper burial. I am just an old (77 years) Combat Veteran out of the Korean War and thankful that I did return. I consider this a very noble cause and I hope that you can help in some way to find this family. For more information on the project you may go to http://www.jpac.pacom.mil/. My part in the program is to match up the lost families with the proper agency.

I will be grateful for any assistance in locating this family.

Walter Henderson from Tipton, OK

antiquemll — 22 Aug 2007 5:17:32 GMT

I am trying to locate the parents of Walter Henderson. I don't know his age, only that he was born in OK and he was living in Tipton in 1920-21. His father was born in Mississippi, according to the record that I have.
I only find one Henderson in the 1920 Tillman Co. census who was born in Mississippi and that was a William J. Henderson who was a widower and had a 10 year old son with him by the name of Herman. Does anyone know anything about this Henderson family? Even though Walter was not in the household in the 1920 census, is he a son of this William J. Henderson?
Any help would be appreciated to find the family of Walter Henderson! Julie

1920s girls basketball team?

Laura_Stinson — 13 Jul 2007 9:53:09 GMT

Many years ago, my grandma Mable Briscoe Stinson showed me a photograph of her and her teammates in their school basketball "uniforms," which looked rather like sailor suits with bloomers. She lived in Tipton (though I don't know if that was the location of the school) and was 14 in 1920. Anyone have a picture like this? Granny's long gone now and the photo with her. I'd love to see it again.

Martha C. Ritchey m. James Allen Purdy

cjansley — 10 Jul 2007 9:04:00 GMT

I have a picture of a "Jim & Mattie Purdy". I believe this is Martha C. Ritchey and James Allen Purdy, Martha being the sister of my 2nd great grandfather.

She was born in Missouri in February 1872, I presume as the family moved from Tennessee to Texas. They were in Montague COunty, Texas until the mid-1890s when they migrated to Greer County, Texas which became part of Oklahoma.

Jim and Mattie Purdy were in Oklahoma COunty, OK in the 1900 census but in 1910, 1920 and 1930 were in Tillman County, OK. I have found four children for them, with the two oldest children being in the photo I have. I believe these children are Pearl A. and Guy A. Purdy.

I would love to connect with anyone who might have information on this line. I have a number of family photos including a formal one of Martha's parents with siblings and spouses and children.

Thank you,

Marion and Emily Barnes (Gertson)

I am looking for death information in regards to Elmer A. SAGE (b. ca. 1841 Vinton Co., OH) and Leo V.

Also looking for death information in regards to Leo's nephew James Elmer GOLLADAY (b. 12 Nov 1873 KY), who seems to have died between the 1920 and 1930 census in Tillman Co.

I'm trying to find some information on someone that MAY have lived in Tillman County back in the early 1900s. I know some family lived around Davidson and perhaps in other areas too.

Searching for information on Van Abernathy b. bet. 1870-1871 TX. He married Ludy B. Jordan bet. 1896-1897 and they had at least 5 children: Rena B. (married Sidney J. McClain), Walter R., J.R., Melvin V. and Theodore (Teddy).(1910 census living in Richland Twp.) In the 1920 census, still in Richland Twp., it appears that Van has a second wife Nettie and there are now an additional 3 children: Van Jr., Dale and Louise, who may be of his first marriage or of his apparent second marriage.
Van is not listed in 1930 census, but all of his children are either living with each other or with an aunt, indicating that Van Sr. probably has died.
