Posted on: Carter County, Ok Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/Carter?read=1174 Surname: ------------------------- Greg, Let me give you a little bit of what I have or know about the Alexander family. To start with, go to Alexander queries for Carter County on Usgenweb. There are 9 queries listed. The first is Nicholas, the second is yout BA and the third is about Bertha and Dempesy Alexander. This is your Alexender grandparents. Note in my response that I mentioned that Dempesy was buried at Newport. The inscription reads: DEMPESY LEE ALEXANDER BORN HENRY COUNTY, TENN DEC 5, 1875 DIED APRIL 10, 1935 WILSON, OKLAHOMA Bertha is buried in Section 101 of the Rose Hill Cemetery. The inscription reads: BERTHA BENNETT ALEXANDER JAN 29, 1886 PILOT POINT, TEXAS DEC 30, 1972 ARDMORE, OKLA. It may be significant that listed next after Bertha is a George Bennett. The inscription reads: GEORGE BENNETT 9-5-1853 11-22-1934 I am reluctant to tell people how to go about their business but based on near 30 years of genealogical experience I will make a few suggestions. Keep watching the query about Bertha/Dempsey where I responded for additional responses. See what you can do with the three death dates above as to obits from the Daily Ardmorite (must tell you sometime how I was once Mr Ardmoreite in Wilson). I cannot help but feel that Bruce probably passed away in either Nevada or California. Consider contacting them for a death certificate. Go visit your grandparents graves. It will help. Bye for now.
