They were indeed siblings, as well as a brother, Perry of Seminole, Oklahoma. Their parents are not listed in any of the obits - Sorry! The two brothers, John and Ben were born in Wellington, Kansas, so you should be able to get a birth certificate for them. Best of luck in your research. I made copies of the obits - if you would like to have them, please send a Stamped, Self-Addressed Envelope to: Anna Marie Wilson P. O. Box 1447 Lone Grove, OK 73443-1447 Regards, Anna Marie. ************************************* THE DAILY ARDMOREITE - Friday, March 17, 1944 Aged Pioneer is Found Dead Jim GARNAND's Body Found in His Little Cottage Jim Garnand, 70, pioneer resident of Southern Oklahoma, was found dead in his little cottage at 621 Eighth avenue northeast, Thursday afternoon. The elderly man had been dead for at least four days, it was said. Rutherford BRETT, county attorney, who with city and county officers investigated the case, said that Garnand had apparently succumbed to heart disease as he sat in a chair before the gas stove, possibly Monday night. The house was tightly locked, the door bolted, the fires burning high. Garnand lived alone. He was seen last Monday by a granddaughter. A neighbor, Mr. EDWARDS, who missed seeing Garnand about his place for a day or two finally investigated on Thursday afternoon. Peering through a window, he saw the dead man, in the chair by the fire, and notified officers. Gas Shut Off Gas company officials were called and cut off the gas supply and the officers had to wait for a considerable time until the little house had cooled inside to permit them to remove the body. The body was in bad condition and was taken in charge by Harvey funeral home. Brett said that Garnand had suffered for some years from high blood pressure and heart trouble. There was no evidence other than that he had died of an attack of this ailment. It was thought at first his death might have been caused by carbon monoxide poisoning, but the physical facts did not bear out this theory. Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Friday, in the chapel of the Harvey funeral home with Rev. M. L.JERNIGAN officiating. Burial will be in Rose Hill Cemetery. Pallbearers will be Henry WATTS, Willis TENNYSON, Tom KYLE, Floyd RANDOLPH, Howard MUSGROVE, and Kelly BAKER. Survivors include four brothers, John Garnand, and E. D.
