    3. My ggUncles were Andrew Bilbrey and Isaac Jasper Bilbrey 1866-1921, from Overton Co. TN who went to the Indian Lands of Oklahoma in the early 1900's. The story goes that Jasper was killed by an Indian and years ago a gal from the Pushmataha Historical Society was going to send me a newspaper article on the killing. I lost her address and was unable to reach her again (Ms.Kay Black, I think). Could someone find that for me - I will gladly send whatever it costs to get a copy of this newspaper article. Hope it answers some questions for our family. We never knew the details of this killing. I have these cousins as listed in Cloudy Cemetery at Antlers: Bilbrey, Isaac Jasper, 1866-1921. His wife Phoebia Isbel 1884-1919m children: ??? Jasper's brother Andrew Bilbrey reported the death to our family in Tennessee. Andrew J. Bilbrey was on the 1910 and 1920 Pushmataha OK census as: Bilbrey, Andrew J. age 39 m. 16 years to Sarah E. age 40 (6 children, 3 living) William M. Bilbrey 13 son, Tina A. 11 yr. old dau. and James E. Bilbrey 5 years old. The 1920 Hanratty Twp. Coal Co. OK lists Bilbrey, Andrew 49, Sarah age 50 with Jim age 16, Norma 19 dau.-in-law from OK and Dortha age 1 9/12 grand dau. She may have been William's wife or widow??? Would so appreciate it anyone could locate this newspaper article about Jasper's murder in apparently 1921. Thank you very much! Ann in Wisconsin
