Vera Thought was my thought, also Vera - that the J. W. Gist that died in 1940 was the one that married the Denney. Took me awhile to figure it out, though - brain cells are moving slow this morning! LOL I Don't have any children listed for either wife of his; assuming that he had children with one, the other or both. I see that Clair died in 1940, also? Bet she might have been the second wife, you think? I don't have a death date for Ealy Denney, Mary. Do you? Bernie Moore-Knowles Papa'aloa, Hawai'i "I have Indian blood in me.

Bernie, The first list I've seen for Custer-Herron cemetery did not show any dates for Claire or James W. I believe James was living in Izard County with a family listed as a hire hand. 1910 Bayou Twp Baxter County Gist James W. 31 md 1 time 7 years Eliar 23? md 1 time 7 years 0-0 children the E could have been a C with a little loop on top. 1920 didn't J. W. Gist 1930 Bayou Twp Baxter County Gist James W. 51 md 1st time age 24 Ela O. 42 md 1st time age 15 William L. 9 son
From my conversations with family about the Denny's, Ealer was married only once and that was to Jim. They lived over in the Gamaliel area, down the road to the park- campground and marina (I can't for the life of me think of whats it called).

Bernie- how certain are you of the spelling of Mary Elzoria "Perlina" last name of Raney ? By any chance could it be Ramsey ? Reason I ask is one of John Martin "Mart" Green's daughter--Josephine "Jossie" married Jefferson Davis Ramsey and they went to Butler Co Oklahoma. How far apart is Comanche Co and Butler Co ? I don't have a map on hand to find it for myself . Mary Belle __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
