Believe that they were brother and sister - came to Oklahoma in 1894 and settled in East Newkirk, Kay County, Oklahoma. Believe Aaron died about 1908 in Oklahoma as Catherine returned to Ohio with family. Wonder if Aaron was buried in East Newkirk - would like to find death date to order death certificate. Any help would be much appreciated.

Connie - what I have is the book "Cemetery Inscriptions, Kay County, Oklahoma" published in 1978 by the Pioneer Genealogical Society, Ponca City, Oklahoma. BRAMAN Cemetery Anna Keller King Nov 6 1889 Mar 17 1939 Barry Kent King Apr 17 1943 Mar 28 1944 David King Feb 26 1887 May 10 1938 David C King 1844 1928 Leola King Aug 18 1906 Apr 7 1910 Martin E King Mar 29 1869 Mar 3 1942 Father Nancy J King 1851 1940 Oran King Jan 12 1904 Jan 14 1904 Pearl M King Dec 25 1881 May 19 1959 Mother As mentioned previously, the book is not indexed. Names are basically alphabetical within each cemetery, so there is usually no way to know if all of the same name are related and/or buried adjacent or in the same plot. Notice, there is no Edwin. Could he have died after 1978? Where do you live? I am in Wichita, and have been wanting to go to the Ponca City library to research.

Bonnie, Think I missed something :-), but seems like you have the Braman Cemetery Book. If so, I am looking for any Kings that are listed. There is an area with a large stone that says "King" on it and if I remember correctly, several Kings are buried there. I know that Edwin King is buried there, but I would like to know who else is there with him. We live several hours away and I can't get down there easily anymore. Thanks, Connie

Marilyn - since Nancy and William Moore had 11 children, it is quite possible some of the Moores listed in the Tonkawa and Braman cemeteries are part of the family. I can list those for you.

I read the Bisel-Moore messages with interest. Most of those listed in Bonnie's msg are my relatives. Luther and Elizabeth BISSELL, for example,were my dad's parents. We never had BISEL kin, nor any MOORE's that I know of. Robert Bissell

Winfield, Kansas, is just a little smaller, and another 14 miles north. Three Sands, Okla is south of Tonkawa, on the county line of Kay and Noble counties. There are no Bisel-Bissell listings in the Kay County Regional Phone Directory of 1998. Lots of Moores.
