Posted on: Carter County, Ok Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/Carter/11613 Surname: CHILDERS ------------------------- I had an ancestor, Samuel L. Childers, born Claiborne County, Tennessee, March 17, 1846 (some records show the year as 1845). He died in Carter County, OK. February 23, 1933 at the Confederate Soldiers home in Ardmore. I've been trying to locate the death certificate. Okla. Vital Statistics can find no record. I understand most of the records for the soldiers home were inadvertently picked up by a trash truck and most were lost. On the funeral warrant the name of the funeral chapel is not to clear, but appears to be either Betic or Betlic Funeral Home Chapel. The Clergyman was Wm. Lee Rector. Would you happen to know the name of the funeral home and if they are not still in business who might have the records? Also what church had a Wm Lee Rector as a minister? What I'm wanting to verify is where his parents were born and their names. Do you have any information or suggestions? Thanks, Wanda
