Anna, I have been reading your messages concerning Dunaway in Bristow. My Great-grandfather died in Bristow, 20 Jan 1942; was embalmed by Roy E. Dunaway. Then, I believe, a funeral home in Seminole, OK handled the burial at the Oakdale Cemetery in Depew, OK. At the time of death the personal information was given by a son, Roscoe Barton, of Snowmac, OK. PROBLEM, the year of birth given was the birth year of my great-grandmother (her birth date, 20 Dec 1871) not my great-grandfather. George Henry Sampson was born in Brumley, Miller County, MO., 8 Nov 1868. His father, William George Sampson, died in Brumley, Miller County, MO, 3 Oct 1869. Therefore, the birth date shown on the Death Certificate (8 Nov 1871) leaves a gap of two years and a month from the date of his fathers death. Several years ago I tried to get this corrected but run into a brick wall. The funeral home that filed the original death certificate has to notify the state in order to make a correction. I could not find anyone (either Bristow or Seminole) who would admit to having any information. Interesting note: Both George and his wife, Mary Bell, are buried at the Oakdale Cemetery. Their tomb stone (placed by Roscoe Barton) shows no dates because he said "he didn't know what they were." [email protected] sorry, I didn't intend this to be a mini-series
