Posted on: Cherokee County, OK Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/Cherokee?read=172 Surname: SANDERS, MCLAIN ------------------------- I don't live in Cherokee CO. However, if I wanted to track down more on a person who died in 1979 in OK, I would do two things. I would write the State Dept of Health and request his death certificate for %10. They want the county and the date of death, and you seem to have both. I would also contact the library at Tahlequah and ask if anyone has done an index of obituaries from the local paper (Henryetta Library in Okmulgee Co. has such an index, which I've used. For a fee of $1, they've copied the mf page of the newspaper for me). If the answer is no, I would ask if anyone at the library would be willing to do a search of obituaries for the month of April. Or if anyone at the local genealogy club would do such a thing? Good luck.
