I'm trying to locate Elizabeth Essman McLain, my great great grandmother. I've recently discovered she may have been in the Talihana area around the time of her death, approximately 1890 to 1900. I also need to know if there would be any way to find a record of birth or Susan Elizabeth Essman from around 1980 in the Talihana area. Thanks. RobinGet more from the Web.

Sorry cannot help you with Martha S. Green Choate. (I have not dates for either of the above.) Imogene Davis wrote: > > Looking for confirmation that Martha S. Green Choate b.

Looking for confirmation that Martha S. Green Choate b. November 27, 1827 and died November 08, 1898 is buried in the Nubbin Ridge Cemetery in Bokoshe. Interested in other Choates possibly buried there also. Also looking for graves of William J. Walker b. ca. 1867 and wife Susan. Thanks.

There is a WALL cemetery in Leflore County, OK.The following is copied from a book at the Poteau Valley Genealogy Society at the Poteau Library: " Located in Section 8, TWP 8N, Range 27 E, between Pocola and Cameron. In the 1800's this area was known as Wallburg, a settlement consisting of several houses, a school, and Church." There is more but this will get you to the cemetery. Tom S PVGS

Dale I could not find any entries at all for Thomas Jefferson EDWARDS in any of our cemetery books at the PVGS. This included the Octavia and other area cemeteries. Tom S PVGS

This reply is in response to the questions from several people asking about coal mine disasters in the Eastern Oklahoma, Indian Territory area. There is a book titled "Fatalities in the Coal Mines of Indian Territory and Southeastern Oklahoma 1885-1962." It is compiled and abstracted by Thurman Shuller, MD. It is a reference book and can't be checked out or loaned. The library call number is 967:7667 or 976:7667. (I think). It is/was available from The Pittsburg County Genealogy and Historical Society; 113 East Carl Albert Parkway; McAlester, OK 74501. The book was published in 1990 by them. The latest entry dates in the book were around 1949 when mining slowed down in Eastern OK. This book contains records from Churches, Funeral Home records, newspapers and journals from the area mines. I saw several entries from the Bokoshe and Heavener area mines. Another source of information will be from the Annual reports of Department of Mines and Mining of the State of Oklahoma, Oklahoma City, OK. I do not have that address but you can probably find it on the net. Tom S PVGS

folks This will have to be checked out to be sure that I have my facts straight, but I believe there was a mine cave in at McCurtain, Haskell Co., OK and also one at Heavener, Leflore Co., OK. I think there was also one in the Hartford, Sebastian Co., AR area which is near Heavener. I don't know many details of either one except at McCurtain there is a memorial monument that has the names of the ones buried in the mine explosion/cave in that were not recovered. Tom S

In reveiews the incidents that occurred in this great explosion and the miraculous escape of a number of entoumbed men we find these facts. Never before in the history of mine explosions in the southwest has there been one the equal of the explosion at No. 2 mine on March 20, 1912. There were 97 men entombed, 73 of them were brought out dead. Ten escaped out of a “man way” located about 200 yards from the main entrance of the mine and these men say they heard no report and had not the smoke become so dense, they could no longer work, they possibly would have worked on through the day. But when the dense smoke came on them they knew there must be something wrong. They were working in the South Eighth. There were 14 fortunates found by the rescue party in the south 13th entry, far back in th mine in a room 8x10. Here those 14 had found an air fount. They took the top off this and packed themselves as closely about this life giving fount of air as circumstances would permit. They hung a curtain at the room entrance and then huddled as near the air as possible, their heads above the top of the pump. As one after another grew faint, overcome for lack of air, his fellows held him over the top of the pump until he was revived by the scanty air. Shy Gussio was one of the rescued party and his thoughts were constantly of his brother, Joe, and twice he left his haven of temporary safety and braved the danters of the mine to find his brother. He traveled far into the darkness and came upon the form of a man which he dragged to one place of the living that he knew, but the body was lifeless and it was not that of his brother. After reviving himself at the air pump he started forth again despite the protestations of his fellows to find his brother. Again he stumbled upon a form and dragged it to the pump and again he was disapointed. He was one of the four of that group who had to be carried out. Sixty nine men were buried at the Miners’ Cemetery here in McCurtain and four were shipped to other places. Frank Crook to Indiana; W.D. Roper to Clio, North Carolina; Charley Coward in to Hartford, Ark; William Farrimond to Missouri. The whole city of McCurtain was in mourning, there was scarcely a home that some relative was not a victim of the disaster, the most appalling in th mining industry of the southwest. Everywhere the scene was distressing. At the mouth of the mine, about the street and in the homes it was the same, women with their babies in their arms and the older children huddled about bemoaning the loss of one dear to them and the men staring a mute appeal. In all of their faces, haggard and drawn after sleepless nights, one could read their agony. About the mine, conditions were especially pitiful. Here hundreds kept watch throught the nights in the hopes by some chance a kinsman might have escaped death and would be brought to the surface. But with a return of each relay of rescuers and reports of additional bodies located but nothing to indicate that any more of the men were alive hope gradually waned till there were but few who had not given up in despair. Ralph Kenny, 16 year old son of Rev. Kenny, pastor of the McCurtain M E church at that time could not escape what fate had decreed. The little fellow was amoung the fourteen living which the mine gave up. Partly insensible at first, he shortly came to himself and smiled as he told of the night in the small pump room where he and thirteen choking men almost fought each other for gasps of fresh air from the broken air pipe. Then a pallor spread over his face, his form quivered, and before outstretched hands could seize his body sank to the floor. Helpers looked at him and then at each other. The strand of life had stretched too severe during the hideous torment of the night. It was a story seldom heard that Koskoski told. He was one of the fourteen who sought safety in the pump room. He and Frank Scott staggered up to the broken pipe at the same time. They frantically pushed each other aside with the first breath of fresh air. When they breathed naturally again, they searched nearby ___________. One after another of the other twelve were found, carried to the living air and revived. The following is a list of those that were taken out alive by rescuing parties; John Izett, James Miller, Joe Miller, Willard Jenkins, John Koskoski, John Connoar, Frank Scott, John Tanner, Claude Gragg, Shy Gussio, John Kokoaki, Jrl, V.
