Thanks for responding. Oral, and census records, indicate that the Thomas bunch was back in Barry County for 1920 census,except I cannot find Etta. My grandmother Ida, she died in 1964, recorded a famiy history sheet and stated that Etta died in Apr 1925. An aunt , who would have been abt 18 at the time, told that my grandfather held her in his arms and wept while she lay dying. This family still lived in Barry County at that time. Have not been able to find death certificate. In the Oklahoma Census for 1910, the 12 year old is Nellie and the 18 year old is Minnie who married a ?Turner. Can't find any documentation for these two except that my mother says her father, William Francis, son of Elisha and Etta, anyway that Nellie and Francis took part in a medical study at Tulsa around 1930 (for several years) for their intestinal medical issues. Francis died in 1937 and is buried at Smackover, Union County, Arkansas. I went to Okfuskee County for a look see, there are some Thomas buried at the old cemetery there, will have to go again as have lost some records. It is a most serene area. I know one of Eli's daughters lived near there at Mason, I think for a while. Still looking. One can never tell when some lead with open the flood gates. If we had any more idea that Eli die in Oklahoma and when I could drive the few miles and try a search for death certificates. ---- Marie <mdmoss@centurytel.net> wrote: > Hi I'm searching that family also > Eli Young Foster is My gr-gr grandfather.
