Sep 1893, Arkansas.  =============================================  Hello, My name is Kristin and I have been conducting research with my dad, Greg about his mother.  His mother was adopted in Muskogee, Oklahoma in 1915.  We found J.M. Keeth's name on her adoption papers.  It says that he was the probation officer on her case and we believe he was her custodian for a year. We found your correspondence about John Melvin Keeth on www.archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com and hope that maybe you might have some more information. I am very interested in his location and any history you might have on him specifically from the time he spent in Oklahoma.  I am also very interested in information on his wife from that time, Rose Miller or Rose Keeth.  Do you know what boarding house she worked at?  What was her occupation??  Can you tell us about the city or county.   He wrote the adoption papers and we have his signature. Any information you have will be very appreciated.My grandmother's name was Helen Hollis born in 1910.  She was in John. m. Keeth's custody at the age of 4 and was adopted at the age 5 by Eugene and Johanna Labree.  They renamed her Mary Denise LaBree or Marie Denise LaBree. If there is any information you might need from us please contact me.  Thank you in advance for your help.  Sincerely,Kristin C.=========================================== Notes for NANCY S WALL:Descendants of William Wall 1 William Wall b: 1790 in Ireland .. +Lima Unknown b: Abt. 1807 in KY . 2 Mary Wall b: 1831 in Ky . 2 Adena Wall b: 1834 in KY . 2 Sally Wall b: 1835 in KY . 2 James Wall b: 1837 in KY . 2 Robert Wall b: 1839 in KY . 2 William Wall b: 1844 . 2 Nancy S.
