I am not researching this family but do subscribe to the McCurtain Co., Ok. list and came across this posting. Thought you Thweatt researchers might need it.

Broken Bow News, 12 Jul 1934 "Father of Local Man Passed Away" "Funeral services for William Jerome Thweatt born in Mississippi in 1856 was conducted at the Holly Creek School Building Monday 9 July 1934 by Rev Barnard Franklin. Mr Thweatt was the father of 13 children, 8 of whom survie him, one of whom is C.R. Thweatt of Broken Bow. The deceased was a member of the Missionary Baptist Church which he joined 46 years ago. He passed away at his home in Texas and the body was brought to Holly Creek for burial." Later, I find this obituary for Tisha Elvira Thweatt. Broken Bow News, 12 February 1948 "Tisha Elvira Thweatt" (From this obit, which is ratherlong, I will highlight key statements) Services held at Holly Creek Church, followed by burial in Holly Creek Cemetary Born 1857 in Henderson, Texas Mother of 13 children, 7 of whom survive her [one apparently died after William Gerome's death] which include: C.R Thweatt of Broken Bow, Mrs Will Thurman of Broken Bow, Mrs Lee Stewart of Idabel, W.G.Thweatt of Petty, Texas, C.L.
