I did not have the obit until several months ago.. and some of the information is incorrect as to William's wife's name.. she was Rosella Slover. She died 1 Jan 1905 on the old homestead.. east of Ames, Major, Okla. I also have a picture of a newer gravestone that was put up in the early 70's before Linnie Wimer Bowles passed away in 1973. I also now have the two pages from the Ava land records that show William's final receipt for the land. My grandfather, Levi Clarence Wymer/Wimer actually did the land run in 1893 and filed the original homestead papers. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
