First I would like to say that I posted my first query this morning & have been totally overwhelmed at the wonderful responses from all you great folks! One kind woman has even volunteered to look something up for me in the Tulsa Library tomorrow! Thank you all for your generous responses! If only all the rootsweb Lists were as nice as you have been- Another lady said "Post your family- maybe someone will know who they are", so here goes, long shot that it is: William H Etheridge DAUGHERTY b- 1859 Kaufman C o TX d-??? he was son of Nathan Nathaniel DAUGHERTY & Lu Zylphia McPETERS married Amanda E BOLES in Kaufman TX 1888 Mandy was b- 1866 Kaufman CO TX, dau of John Wesley BOLES & Elizabeth Jane BLOCKER she died 1955 Kaufman CO TX They had children: 1. Laconia b-1891 Indian Territory (Chickasaw Nation) d- 1910- in the North Texas Insane Asylum where she worked- killed by a lunatic 2. Olan Etheridge b- 1894 in Kaufman Co TX d- 1961 in Craig Co OK md- Voda Parham 1917 in Pulaski Co AR 3. CLoie Audie b-`1895 Kaufman Co TX d- 1976 Kaufman Co TX md Jasper BURK Kaufman Co TX 4.

Freenoy b- 1906 Indian Territory d- 1957 Craig Co OK md- Mr. BANNING 7. Claude E b- 1903 Indian Territory d- 1953 Kaufman Co TX I know William was on the 1900 Chickasaw Census- but on the 1910 kaufman Co TX census Mandy is listed as a Widow- it appears they were in the Indian Territory most of the early 1900's so I'm wondering if he died there.... I know that they were in the Indian territory with one of Mandy's cousins, Morgan BOLES & his wife & children- they are on the 1900 census also- Any help is appreciated- And, Thank You Kathey in Kaufman TX
