Anyone on the list in Oklahoma that can share some recent obituary notices? I just heard a Steve(n) Dover died last week. I'm not sure where. Spend 30 years digging then begin to find some pieces then the older ones are gone. Reminds me of the saying, "when an old person dies, the family library goes with them." I used to think we were too far down the road to learn much. It's not that true. Of all the family members I've ever known, it's usually the moms, dads, grandma's and grandpa's who have the least to say .... but it's the aunts who are the keepers of the family history and story or the ones willing to talk the most. My aunt in Arkansas stood in the living room in Paragould one time and told me that she did some checking with family members (never told me who but I'm pretty certain it wasn't Dovers) and that we might have an Elijah as an ancestor. Her face was as blank as mine. If you exclude my line for conversation, there are at least two other Dover families in northeast Arkansas who are rumored to be possible descendants of Elijah. So how did Elijah's name come up? It "possibly/probably" wasn't from any genealogy research. See what I'm getting at? Kind of stuff that drives you nuts.
