Can anyone answer this query for Barbara Cole Adams? If so, please post it to OKATOKA-L@rootsweb.com See below. Thanks, Ruthie Hi Ruthie, When I spoke with you last week, I ask about Goodland Cemetery. I have since found out there is an Old Goodland Cemetery and that my Uncle Willie Cole might be buried there. Willie was born around 1885 and was still alive in 1981, as we saw him at the funeral of a cousin, in Oklahoma City. Thanks, Barbara Cole Adams

To all who are interested in the response to the query I posted from Mr. William Schwank. Could someone please tell me if there ever was a town called Herbert, Oklahoma in Atoka County? <snip> Ben Tramell wrote: > Wardville was originally named Herbert. It was named after the son of > H.P. and Mary Ward.. It was changed to Wardville when mail was confused > with Hobart. My "Thanks" to Mr. Tramell for this valuable piece of information.

Mr. J. Schwank writes........ Could someone please tell me if there ever was a town called Herbert, Oklahoma in Atoka County? I have a newspaper article that shows that my grandmother's uncle, C. W. Parker, was living in Herbert, Oklahoma at the time of his mother's death in 1911. We would like to contact any descendants of this man. If anyone has a census from 1910 perhaps he shows on it. He would be listed as having been born in Alabama. His mother would have been born in Kentucky and his father in Alabama. J. Schwank 1890 Lyda Avenue Bowling Green, Ky.

-----Original Message----- From: Earle T. MacArthur <EarleMac@worldnet.att.net> To: <OKATOKA-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Sunday, April 11, 1999 6:34 PM Subject: Atoka college? On April 11, you wrote... Is there (or was there) a college in Atoka? (I noticed a University Avenue on an Atoka street map). <snip> There was a college for girls or an Acadamy in the late 1800 early 1900's in Atoka. I don't know the name of it, but if you will go to the Confederate Memorial Museum Page you will find the name. Then you might write to Gwen Walker at the Museum/Historical Society and see if she can supply you with the answer to your question. I was born and reared in Atoka, but have been away for 30 some years and I am not familiar with a street name University. Are 1910 census records available in the Atoka courthouse? <snip> The census records are housed at the Atoka County Library. No, they do not/will not do a look up for you. Let me know what you want, and I might be able to locate it here in MO. Independence has a wonderful Genealogy Library. How far back do the marriage records go? I believe my grandparents may have married there in the late 1890's. <snip> I don't know how far back the marriage records are. If you will look at the Atoka County Marriage, you will see some of the older dates. I was only able to grab a few. I will be getting the rest, hopefully on my next trip home. Ruth Atteberry Adams

Is there (or was there) a college in Atoka? (I noticed a University Avenue on an Atoka street map). I understand my grandparents, Earle and Eunice MacArthur, taught school in Atoka for many years - late 1890's through 1930's. My father, also Earle, was born there in 1907, as was my aunt Ann (1909) and uncle Alden (1912). Are 1910 census records available in the Atoka courthouse? How far back do the marriage records go? I believe my grandparents may have married there in the late 1890's. Of course I would welcome any information at all about my grandparents. Thank you

Hi Everyone: Not long ago I received a query about a John A. Dillon. The inquirer stated that there was an article in the Newspaper about him. He was a prominent Atoka merchant and died in 1891. I have found the article and will be happy to share it if you will contact me. Ruth Atteberry Adams
