Alice, I did some look-ups in the few Kay Co, Ok source books I have and hope some of these names, and the info might help. In the Ponca City Region Phone book of 1998, which includes all of Kay County, there were no Hannagan, Britte, or Bronke. Did see listings for some Muegges at Lamont and Tonkawa, and some Steeles at Ponca City. If you want these names and listings, let me know. >From Cemetery Inscriptions, Kay Co, Okla, published in 1978 by Pioneer Genealogical Society, of Ponca City, Okla: The book is not indexed. Each cemetery has names listed alphabetically, so all persons of the same name are not necessarily buried in the same plot, or beside each other. There are some notations indicating relationships.
