Thank Sherry for sharing your story with me and your encouragement!!! Well, I think I might have find a lead on who were the funeral home that did the burial service of Henry Carter in 1939. It is Gus Pool and Son Funeral Home in Bryan County. The problem is nobody know where the records are at. At first Coffey Funeral Home took over the business of Pool's. Then Murray Funeral Home took it over. I have called Coffey Funeral Home and Murray Funeral Home and talk to the office managers. Coffey's record only go back to 1960 and Murray back to 1968. There were 3 funeral homes that was in business during in 1939. It is Dalton-Holmes, Moon's Funeral Home and Gus Pool & Son Funeral Home. The Moon's record only go back to June 1939 and Dalton-Holmes do not have my Carter's and they didn't do the service. So I knew with all my heart that it is Gus Pool's Funeral that did the burial service of my great grandfather. For they did his daughter's burial service ( I have her obituary, saying they did), so usually the tradition is when one family use the funeral home, it will pass down. I have called Bryan County Historical Library in Calera, Okla. and she said my only hope is find his obituary. She said they are getting too many calls from other people who is wanting the Gus Pool and Son Funeral Home's records. The Pool's family had tooked the records with them. Now they do not know where it went. I bet there is somebody here who is going thru same as I am, hunting the Gus Pool and Son Funeral Home's records. Well, good luck!!!
