Ok Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/Jefferson/10572 Surname: KING, MEYERS, LAWS ------------------------- Hello: I am trying to find a cemetery and grave location near Ryan, OK, where my Great Grandfather Willie (William) Fletcher KING is buried. He moved from Claiborne County, TN to Oklahoma in the late 1890s with his wife, Martha Elizabeth LAWS-KING, and their two sons, Otis B. KING and Elard KING. Willie bought a farm near Ryan, but rode throughout the Indian territory as a traveling salesman and trader. We know he died of pneumonia on May 24, 1902. We don't know where he is buried. Shortly after Willie died, Martha married Vincent MEYERS. Martha had two children, both listed as "born in Indian territory, Ryan, OK" Their first baby - Lara S. MEYERS (b. 1903 - died - 1903?) Lara may be buried near Willie? The second child was Gertrude MEYERS, born 1905. The family moved on to California about 1907. Would appreciate any help on anything about the family. Thank you. =========================================================== Vincent MEYERS (son of Jefferson Yank MEYERS & Susannah J.
