Great Arla, My Great Uncle had a place around Coalgate. I would love to buy the old home place. It has what I want on it. He built a lake and everything on it. We loved to go to Uncle Elijah Kirby's home place. It was my dream place. I loved the trees and all the wildlife. Maybe you have heard of the Kirby's from there I don't know. Dad was born in 1924. My Grandmother and Grandfather lived in Clarita when my Dad was born. GrandMa ia Choctaw and her surname is Guynes. She is the one who is buried Weleetka but her married name after she divorced my Grandfather was Maynard or Mainard. Arla could you do me a favor in your spare time and let me know what land is going for around your area or if your in Weleetka check it out for me. Your a doll for doing this. Now just do it in your spare time please don't make a special effort as it will be a while before my money comes in. Have a wonderful Easter. HAPPY EASTER TO ALL ON THIS LIST TOO!!!
