Posted on: Carter County, Ok Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/Carter/11592 Surname: Rodgers, Rogers ------------------------- Does anyone know if it is true that Wynnewood's early late 1890s and 1900s birth, marriage and death records are located at the Ardmore Courthouse? I was told this by a person who said the early records were transferred to the Carter County Courthouse at Ardmore. She knew this as she had retrieved her own family's records in 1900 there. Please I need some help in finding my ggrandparents funeral notices and/or death dates. Their names were Jess and Sarah Rogers/Rodgers. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me. Thanks, Ona Atkinson RAtki54168@aol.com

I know in alot of counties they will do look-ups for a small fee. In the books they are cross indexed by both the bride's name and the groom's and it helps if you have the year or pretty close to it. Good luck

Posted on: Carter County, Ok Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/Carter/11584 Surname: Dallas, Cole ------------------------- Thank you Bill. I have had several replies and I do thank everyone. The old vets home (Confederate) is now Vets administration. I have been given much information and I am grateful for all who took the time and made the effort to answer. I know where they are buried but I was hoping to identify the picture on the front porch of the home as to being that of John B. Dallas. I've had the picture blown up but it is too blurry to identify features. Thanks Again.!! Florence Mallett
Posted on: Carter County, Ok Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/Carter/11583 Surname: Dallas ------------------------- I checked the Rosehill Cemetery records;which is on line. This is what it reads: John Dallas b.12/Oct/1838 d.03/Jul/1929 and Rhoda b.17/Jun/1840 d.22/Jul/1926. I'm from Ardmore,Carter Co. Ok. That old Veteran's Home is still there. I hope this helps. Bill
Posted on: Carter County, Ok Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/Carter/11581 Surname: Dallas, Cole ------------------------- Hi: Thanks for your reply. I got two replies, the first one was from Anna Marie (Glennan) Wilson who told me quite a bit about the Home. She quoted from "Indian Territory & Carter County Pioneers" 1840-1982. Copyrighted in 1983 by Taylor Publishing Co. Dallas Texas Newsfoto Publishing Co. San Angelo Tex in which there are two photos of the Confederate Home taken in 1916 and in 1920. There was a balcony on the second floor over the main entrance. She says she has heard but cannot verify that records of the residents of the Confederate Home were destroyed by accident. Supposedly the records were put on the front porch to put into storage but were taken with the trash instead????? She would like someone to verify this. That's all I know about that part. Then the second reply I got was from Jack Glenn who said that the publication of Indian Territory & Carter County Pioneers contains a brief write up plus pictures of the Old Soldiers Home in Ardmore. And said the book had some 45 people with the surname Dallas but no John or Rhoda listed in the index. Wish I could help more. John B. Dallas died July 3 1926 and Rhoda , his wife died July 22, 1926. They were quite old. He would have been 88 and she 86. They were very poor and had very little so to know they were taken care of in their last days is a little comforting. Good luck in your search and if by chance one of us finds the records we could let the other know.. Thanks for replying. Florence M. Mallett. for anything else you can e-mail me directly at bossgma@cetnet.net.
Posted on: Carter County, Ok Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/Carter/11580 Surname: Ellis, Orr, Blount ------------------------- I was in Ardmore about ten years ago and at that time the Soldiers home was still there. It was a Confederate Soldiers home in the 30s. My husbands GrGrandfather was there and died there in the 30s. We tried to find where the records might be kept to no avail. If you find out where they are, would you please be kind enough to share it with me. Good luck on your search.
Hello: Perhaps you have already received a reply, but in the event that you have not ______ this is from "Indian Territory and Carter County Pioneers" 1840-1982" Copyright 1983 Taylor Publishing Co. Dallas, TX Newsfoto Publishing Co., San Angelo, TX. (There are two photos of the Confederate Home; taken in 1916 and in 1920. There was a balcony on the second floor over the main entrance) "On U.S. Highway 77 (South Commerce Street) in the southwestern section of Ardmore is located the Oklahoma Veterans Center, formerly the Oklahoma Confedrate Home. The facility was originally established in 1910 by the State of Oklahoma to care for Confederate veterans. The 23 acres first in use was donated by Mrs. Arthur Walcott, a prominent early-day citizen of Ardmore. Mrs. Walcott was one of the early members of the Chickasaw UDC Chapter in Ardmore. The Confederate Home allowd veterans and their wives to live in the facility. The last Confederate resident, a widow, to live in the home was Fannie Murphy, and died at age 88, in 1954, on Dec. 30. She had lived in the home 39 years, entering in 1915. She was eligible for residence through her second husband, L. J. Bailey, an officer in tghe Confederate Army. Fannie married twice after entering the home. Incidentally, Walter W. Williams was the last surviving Confederate veteran. He lived in Houston and died Dec 21, 1959, at age 117. Fortunately, the Center has preserved some of the early records of the Confederate Home. A Maintenance Fund Voucher Record for the year 1911 includes some ofs the following entries: (It goes on to list many expenditures----) As the Confederate veterans and their wives declined in numbers in the 1930s and 1940s, the facility deteriorated. On May 26, 1949, then Governor Roy J. Turner, signed a state bill converting the Confederate Home into the Oklahoma Veterans Home, now serving Oklahoma Veterans of World War I and II, the Korean War, and the Viet Nam War. The first admission into the refurbished domicillary was on Nov. 1, 1950. The Oklahoma Veterans Center in Ardmore is one of five statewide facilities. It has a capacity of 256 beds, including domicilliary and nursing care residents. There are no hospital beds, but access to the Veterans Hospital in Sulphur or Oklahoma City is readily available, and local medical care is frequently used. The Ardmore facility has modern dietary, pharmacy, nursing, physical therapy, social services, respitory, and recreational departments. The Center, now encompassing 50 acres, is in the process of expansion, with a new building that will house 100 nursing care beds and a new dietary section. It is ably operated under Joe Mathews as manager, and Lonnie Norton as assistant manager." "End of Quote----- I hesitate to pass on information that I can not personally verify, but I was told that the records of the residents of the Confederate Home were destroyed by accident. Can someone verify that this is true??? Supposedly the records were put on the front porch to put into storage, but were taken with the trash instead ?????????
