You are very thoughtful. Ed Baker Billingsley was the son of Austin and Minnie (Boler) Billingsley, my uncle and aunt (both blood related to me through my Billingsley and Boler lines). It doesn't look like Jim Scaggs posted the obit, he just asked if anyone wanted a copy. Maybe no one did.  I was hoping that maybe someone who is still on the list might have asked him for it and gotten it. Lee Anne Harold Blevins wrote: I went on the ARIZARD Archives and checked the whole month of July 2001 for a mention of him but did not find it, even though Jim had several other posts that month, so Jim must have posted it later. Ed Baker Billingsley is buried in Hillside Cemetery in Purcell, McClain County, Oklahoma. There is a nice picture of his marker, but no obit there. His wife is buried there also and there is an obit for her, and a nice picture of her. Her obit mentions him as her husband, but no other details. I will paste below the info that is there. but  my info says he was the son of Austin Billingsley and Minnie V.
