Hi list. I wonder in your many Farris files you have two brothers named Sam/Samuel and Joe/Joseph/Josephus Farris. They probably were born between 1840 and 1874. Sam was killed in a shoot out with train robbers in May 1894, in Yukon, Oklahoma. Joe was there involved in the shoot out. They would probably arrived in Oklahoma in 1889/90 when the Oklahoma Territory was opened. As usual the spelling could be Farris/Faris etc. The local papers had it a Farris. I don't believe they are in my line, mine is the same as Wilma Faris Lorance's, i.e. James Faris and Catherine Bell Faris. The Yukon Police Dept. is trying to find family of Sam. They plan on having Sam's name added to the National Law Enforcement's Memorial in Washington DC. They would like for any remaining family or descendants to be involved. If you have anything on Sam and Joe, let me know and I'll send it on to the Chief and Vice Mayor of Yukon. Have a great weekend and a better week, Rex Faris 333 Burnett Rd.
