Hi All, Trying to locate the cemetary where Mary Jane Freeman is buried. She would have died after 1910 I believe. She was born in 1839 and may be buried at Lamar? but I don't really know. Any help will be appreciated. Georgine

Sorry To All, I meant to blind copy my email addresses to my office and forgot to do just that...and sent to everybody.....now I'm making it worse by sending to everybody again.....I didn't want to lose my email addresses But I'm getting messages wondering what I was sending .... so it is easier to get it over with..... My Apologies for your time, Okiegirl24

A first response regarding the Prairie Lore publication.... LaRae Subj: PRAIRIE LORE Date: 4/26/99 1:54:27 PM Pacific Daylight Time From: sfennema@cityof.lawton.ok.us (Susanna Fennena) To: TimeTrvlrO@aol.com I have given your request about past issues of Prairie Lore to Barbara Gooden. The address for the Historical Society is: P.O. Box 3693 Lawton, OK 73502 I have been informed that this address is still correct. S. Fennema, Reference

sbd / KSSOONERS@aol.com, I've included an e-mail I sent to the Lawton Public Library regarding your request. http://www.cityof.lawton.ok.us/library/oklahoma.htm <A HREF="http://www.cityof.lawton.ok.us/library/oklahoma.htm">Oklahoma Genealogy </A> Also, I've included the information from their webpage, which says they have the back copies of Prairie Lore you are seeking. When they respond to my post, I will forward it on to you. I am in Los Angeles, so I'll be willing to bet you are closer to Lawton than I am...knowing that they have the back copies you are looking for, you might choose to make a trip to see them. If not, I will be there in June to visit relatives, and will be happy to do a lookup for you at that time. I am mystified by your inability to reach me through my e-mail address hyperlinked in two places on the main index page of the Comanche County OKGenWeb page, as well as one link to my 18 y/o daughter who constructed the page. If there is an arrant link, please let me know, as I could not find one that did not return back to me. I will contact you again when I receive a response from the Library.

They wanted information regarding back copies of 'Prairie Lore'. I'll include their post, but please answer me, also, so I may know this is the current e-mail address for the library.

Hello All, I am new to your list. I have a land grant from Lawton, Oklahoma (recorded in Tillman County, now part of Comanche County on July 28, 1910, grant is dated January 6, 1910).

Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much. Melanie Jackson MJack2160@aol.com

I am interested in any details you may have of a tornado which killed a mother and 2 young children on the west edge of Lawton on April 8, 1922. Names and any family information would be appreciated. I am doing a geneology search and some of my relatives were killed similarly. The time frame and number of people match this event. Thank you for your help. My email address is mifsmith@msn.com

Request any info on the family surname Swallow. First name Felix. and information concerning family before and after Felix Swallow. Sons John, Tom, and Joe. Have no birth dates to help you much in your search. This would be my great great grandfather. Stories told that he owned a saloon in the late 1800. Thank you for your help. Robert Swallow

A friend of mine has told me that white settlers needed permits to enter OK territory during the 19th century. Can anyone verify (or erase) this notion? If it is true, where are the permits filed? My GG Grandparents lived in Civil War era OK, and it would probably help me if I could find their records. Frank

Hi all, Seeking any information on Flossie Freeman who supposedly sung on the radio in either Lawton or Oklahoma City in the early 1900's. Or perhaps where I could find any information about early radio performers who be helpful.. Georgine

Hello, Does anyone recall a singer or performer in the Lawton Area or elsewhere in OK, that was named Amanda STOVALL, Amanda KILROY, June KILROY, June LOVEJOY ? Family Story has it that Amanda Ethel STOVALL b. Sep 22, 1894 TX, changed her name to either June KILROY or June LOVEJOY, and became an entertainer...that travelled and sung in many places including Hawaii....she played a steel guitar, but I don't know what type of music she played, probably Country Western ? She had a son, name unknown....She married Julian G. KILROY on Dec 28, 1912 OK.....She died in an automobile wreck in San Antonio, TX before 1957. Does this ring a bell with anyone.....if so please email me...I descend from her Sister Lula Pauline STOVALL and would love to have more information on her and her descendants....Thanks, Elaine >> Okiegirl24@aol.com

Highland Cemetery 2201 Northwest Fort Sill Boulevard, Lawton, OK 73507 (580) 355-2905 This is the correct address and phone number for Highland Cemetery in Lawton. I have had excellant luck calling and talking to the officials that are at this number. Many times they can give you all the information that you are needing. They have at times been able to tell me who bought the plot, next of kind, reason for death....plot location...inscriptions...etc..etc. Good luck. If you need more, let me know. Lynne
