Hello All:

My gg-grandmother was Grace Helen Sigman b. 12 Feb 1901, "near" Canton, Dewey Co. or Blaine Co., OK. She married Ward Allen Barney ca. 1923. She died 8 Jun 1979 in Okeene, Blaine Co., OK. However, her residence was in Oakwood, Dewey Co., OK at the time of her death. She lived in this area all her life as far as I know.

Grace Helen Sigman was the daughter of George Sigman and Stella / Estella Force / Forest who are said to be buried in the "Huc-Mac" Cemetery near the "Y" between Seiling, Canton, and Oakwood, OK. Grace and her husband Ward Allen Barney are also said to be in this cemetery. I do think there is a chance that this cemetery may be incorrect; I have another note about Little Robe Cemetery.

Ward Allen Barney's parents, Coles Bryant Barney and Alice (surname unknown) are also buried either in Little Robe or "Huc-Mac".

My father says that he believes George Sigman came from KS as a young boy and his family may have come from IL or OH before they lived in KS.

My father also says that Stella/Estella (Force/Forest) Sigman had a parent who was directly from England. Stella/Estella was very British and always had her "proper tea" each afternoon.

Grace Helen Sigman had several siblings who were also children of George Sigman and Estella/Stella Force/Forest; some of these names may not be correct and are not in order:
-Mabel Pearl Sigman, m. ___ White and moved to ID
-Frank Sigman
-Joseph Sigman (who was committed alledgedly by his wife to a mental institution at Ft. Supply, OK)
-"Charlie" Sigman, m._________
-Orville/Orval "Buck" Sigman, m. Irma ____
-Eldon/Elden "Tootie" Sigman, never married
-"Lizzie" Sigman m. ___ Huffman

I'm looking for more information on the parents of Grace Helen Sigman -- George Sigman and his wife Estella/Stella Force/Forest. Where did they come from and who were their parents, birthdates, etc? I'm guessing birthdates for George and Estella/Stella would be in the range of 1865 to 1885.

Grace Helen Sigman had her first child in 1919, Leota Geraldine Barney (according to a delayed birth certificate), but we also have an indication that Grace wasn't married to Ward Allen Barney until 1923. The name Lee Snyder/Snider/Schneider has been mentioned as the real father of Leota. Any information regarding this Lee Snyder/Snider/Schneider would really be appreciated.

Thank you to anyone who can provide information or assistance.

Regards,

Leslie Crosby Carignan
