Go to your internet search and type in the above. then 'Counties', then 'County List', then 'Grady county' then 'Cemeteries' . James is buried there and I will see if I can find the obit for you but I don't see where his father is buried. Since it states that William is the founder of Verden, I am surprised he is not buried in that cemetery.

We always called him Uncle Bufus though. I'm trying to figure out who your wife is but don't know it by the name. Anyway, on the back of Uncle Bufus' funeral card it says: "Rufus Busby was b. on 28 Feb 1911, in Walters, OK, the son of Thomas Busby and Martha Elizabeth Shelby Busby...Mr. Busby came to the Ninnekah area in 1925 from Duncan. He was a farmer and rancher. Rufus moved to the Meridian Community in 1941, where he lived the rest of his life. He was also preceded in death by his parents, five brothers, and three sisters..." I'm connected through the Sitterding side. Don't know a whole lot more about the Busby side, although three of his children are still living in Chickasha. Good luck with your search!

But the email did not go through to carrol@hotmail.com. Please contact me.

Take a look at your Oklahoma History, the state was divided into Oklahoma Territory [mostly on the east side of the state] and Indian Territory [mostly the western side of the state]. My grandparents were married in Indian Territory in 1899 and their first son born in Indian Territory in 1901. You did not have to be a Native American to be living in Indian Territory. 1880 would be during the time when some of the land rushes were already being started. LaDonna Hinch

I know that my GGGreat Auntie was buried in Friendship Cemetary in Grady County, her name was Electra Catherine Jane Wilsie nee Chesnutt and she was married to Issac Sears Wilsie-they had most of their children on Indian Territory. It seems to me that people back in the 1880-today would not move to Indian Territory unless having some Native blood.
