McIntosh Co OK is way in the SE part of the state which is sparcely populated. In the 1920's, it probably had even fewer people. It's possible there was no funeral home in the county at that time. Can't find my OK map tonight, but the closest town of any size is Poteau, seems to me. Reba Collins
McIntosh's main city is Eufaula. It's probably nearer McAlester or Muskogee than Poteau. In fact, it's so far north we consider them yankees :) Ron, Cemeteries of Choctaw County Oklahoma http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~choctawco/directions.htm -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, March 16, 2001 11:12 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [OK-CEM] Re: OK-CEMETERIES-D Digest V01 #44 McIntosh Co OK is way in the SE part of the state which is sparcely populated.

I have found my Great Aunt's son, Rex Simpson , on the SSDI with his last place of residence 1983 as Porum OK. I have looked for him at all the funeral homes and Cemeteries in Eufuala and Porum and McIntosh County. I have a feeling he may have been creamated. I guess his death certificate would be my next step . Does any one have any other suggestions?/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ron H" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, March 17, 2001 12:42 AM Subject: RE: [OK-CEM] Re: OK-CEMETERIES-D Digest V01 #44 > McIntosh's main city is Eufaula.
