A check at the cemetery revealed none of the graves at the location given. A cousin said they had the same problem, but located the gravesites in my grandfather's second wife's family plot imstead of the Woodard family plots. Be sure and check out the funeral home's locations if interested in viewing the headstones for correctness.

Posted on: Carter County, Ok Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Ok/Carter/1574 Surname: Darling ------------------------- Someone had asked about DR. Darling in Wilson; and I'd just happen on this transcribe bio from the following book. Good Luck. ------------------------------------------------------ History of Oklahoma Volume III published 1916 by Joseph B. Thoburn WILLIAM A. DARLING Vol. 3, p. 1214-1215 The new towns that have sprung up in Oklahoma since statehood have drawn to themselves much talent of a quality that is seldom found in towns of equal size in older settled communities. New Wilson is an example of this truth, for among its citizens the town numbers a good many men of the various professions that have proved themselves worthy of larger fields of activity. Among such men in New Wilson may be mentioned Dr. William A. DARLING, who came to this city in 1896. Since that time he has conducted a general medical and surgical practice, and for eighteen years he has been the owner and proprietor of the foremost drug store in the town, known as the Corner Drug Store. He has been identified with other business movements here, too, and has in many ways shown his enthusiasm for the town and its future progress. Dr. William A. Darling was born in Hunt County, Texas, October 7, 1870, and he is the son of William C. and Mary (WHITE) Darling. William C. Darling was born in Ohio in 1842 and he died in Grayson County, Texas, in 1872, when the subject was a child two years old. He was the son of Hector Darling, also born in Ohio, though his people were of New York birth, who came to Ohio in their young years. The family had its origin in England and the first of the name to settle in America came in Colonial times, settled in old New York and were proprietors of a shipyard there. Hector Darling was killed in Hunt County, Texas, by Shelby's men in 1865, because of his northern sympathies. He was among the early pioneers to Texas, and was prominent as a stockman there for some years. William C. Darling went from Ohio, his native state, to Hunt County, Texas, in company with his father, and he was married in that state in the year 1869. His wife, Mary WHITE, was born in Texas in 1849, and after the death of her husband in 1872, she went back to Hunt County with her small son, from Grayson County, where she had lived during the years of her wedded life. In 1873 she married E. J. JONES, a farmer and stockman of Grayson County, Texas, and they later moved to Jack County and are living there at this writing. Seven children were born of this union. Lavonia, the eldest, married W. A. WHITSETT. They live in Jacksboro, Texas, where Mr. Whitsett conducts a Farmers' Union Store. Medie is a stock farmer and lives in Harmon, Oklahoma. Addie married William SMITH, a farmer and stockman of Jacksboro, Texas. Thomas is connected in business with his brother, Medie. Leila is married and lives in Jacksboro, where her husband operates a cotton gin. Myrtle married a Mr. CANTRILL of Jacksboro and Jacob is still in the home of his parents. William A. Darling attended the public schools in Texas until he was eighteen years old, and later entered the Physicians and Surgeons College in Dallas, Texas, from which he was graduated with the class of 1905 with the degree M. D. This he followed with a course of training in the Physicians and Surgeons College in Kansas City. His first practice was carried on in Jack County, Texas, after which he came to McMillan, Oklahoma, in November, 1894, and was engaged in medical practice for a year. He then moved to Reck, Oklahoma, where he spent a year and a half in practice, and in 1896 came to Hewitt, which later became Wilson. Here he has since conducted a general medical and surgical practice, and he has made for himself a name in his profession that is well worthy of him and his efforts. Eighteen years ago he established a drug store in the town, calling it the Pioneer Drug Store. In later years it has come to be called the Corner Drug Store, and it is known to be the best patronized dispenser of drugs and druggists' sundries to be found in this section of the state. In 1908 Doctor Darling organized the Darling Telephone Company and built a telephone system through the district. He it was who built the first telephone line into the oil field, and it is a notable fact the he carried the line through in five days, that being the fastest work on record. In 1915, he sold his system to the Pioneer Telephone Company, since which time he has devoted himself exclusively to his profession and his drug store. Doctor Darling is now serving as city physician, and he was a member of the school board here in the years prior to statehood. He has long been a member of the Church of Christ and is prominent in its support and in the work of that body. He is independent in politics, and fraternally is associate with the Masons, Wilson Lodge No. 76, A. F. & A. M., and Pecan Camp No. 116, Woodmen of the World, and a charter member of that camp. He is prominent in both orders, and has held various offices in the years of his membership. In 1891 Doctor Darling was married in Hunt County, Texas, to Miss Betty BLEWETT, a native of Missouri. They have three children. William B., the eldest, ably assists his father in the management of the drug store. Esther is a student in the local schools and Myrtle is yet too young to enter school. Doctor and Mrs. Darling have a host of staunch friends in and about New Wilson, where they have been long and favorably know, and they are leaders in the best social activities of the town and county. They are representative of a type of citizenship that makes for solidity and character in any community, and they have been worthy influences in shaping the trend of thought and action in their home town.
