My mother's maiden name is Boone and her family at one time lived in Winfield, Ka. I am trying to find information on my great grandmother Lavina Provine. She was married to Ulysess Grant Boone and had three children by him before her death. I do not know when or where she was born or who her parents are. She died around 1910 in Winfield. I'm not sure of the year and I do not have any dates. I have looked at microfilm of the Winfield Courier newspaper in the years 1909- 1911 and found nothing about her death. I may have missed it since I was in a bit of a hurry to get through it before I had to send it back and I had to try and look at the whole paper as they did not have an obit. column . I have also tryed to get her death certificate, but was told that they did not start keeping records until 1911 and so they wouldn't even try to look . Does anyone out there have any information on Lavina Provine ? If so please let me know. Ulysess Grant Boone is a decendant of Moses and H! annah Boone both related to Daniel Boone . I have pictures of Ulysess and Lavina and thier children. I will be happy to share any information I have as well as old family pictures. Thanks Nancy Salisbury p.s. Also looking for information on the Tankersley family who lived in Elk City. At least that is where one of my old photos was taken.
