Posted on: Independence Co. Ar Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Ar/Independence/80 Surname: O'Bear, Obarr, Obar ------------------------- I am looking for information on my Grandfather. I knew him as John Henry O'Bear. I am told that there was a possible name change. His surname may have been Obarr or Obar. All I know about him is that he was born in Independence County Arkansas on 25 November 1881. He eventually married Rhoda Evelyn Rice from Alton, Missouri, and fathered three children, Vergie Lee, Nathaniel Forrest, and Raymond O'Bear. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
