(Published: Tuesday, July 10, 2001, Modesto Bee, Modesto, CA) March 26, 1920 -- June 29, 2001 Dr. Leo George "Rox" Burkett, 81, of Ketchum, Idaho died June 29 at his home. Dr. Burkett was a native of Chandler, Okla. He was a physician. After high school he traveled to California where he attended Modesto Junior College. During this time, he joined the Air National Guard and became a pilot. He attended the University of California at Berkeley and the University of Southern California. When World War II broke out, he joined the Army Air Corps and spent five years flying B17s and commanding his squadron. He flew 31 missions. He returned to school and graduated in 1950 from the University of Utah with a medical degree. He interned in Stockton and then moved to Downey, Idaho, where he practiced for 29 years. After retiring, he joined a company that sent him to many parts of the United States, where he relieved local physicians. He was Physician of the Year for the State of Idaho in 1983. He twice served as president of the Idaho Medical Society and several times as a delegate to the Idaho Medical Association House of Delegates. He built a cattle and farming operation in Downey that employed many young people. He was awarded Idaho Grossman of the year in 1963. He also developed a large wheat farm in Montana. After his retirement, he and his wife moved to the Ketchum-Sun Valley area. He is survived by his wife, Fern Burkett of Ketchum, Idaho; children, Janet B.

My wife's grandparents lived in Agra, OK (I believe that is Lincoln Co.) in the early 1900's. Their names were William Alexander Searcy and his wife Emma Blackstone Searcy. Their oldest son, John Taylor Searcy was born in Agra in January of 1908. I also believe that their next two children, twins Bearl and Pearl, were also born there. We are trying to find Emma's parents. We believe they may have lived in either the Agra area or OKC area. Their names were: either William Henry or Henry Wilson Blackstone and his wife, Martha Jane Adkins Blackstone. They had a number of children: William Henry (Bud), Sam, Ed, Henry, Harvey James, Taylor, John, David...etc., also several daughters. We have no idea where they were buried, but believe that they died in OK. Any leads or help would be greatly appreciated. Charles Dickson

Dear List Members, Here it is the end June and time for the Second Quarterly Report for 2001. Can you believe how fast the time has passed? This one almost passed me by. The OKLINCOL Mailing List has 78 members, 47 on the Regular list and there are 31 members on the Digest List. As most of you know by now, the GenConnect Boards have changed. Rootsweb.com and Ancestry.com are continuing their merger and now have merged the GenConnect Boards. I am not sure of my feeling regarding this yet, but will watch it and let you know. I am not one to jump to conclusions quickly. I also take care of many GenConnect Boards and did loose all of them in which I did not take care of the Query board due all the boards, bios, wills, pensions, etc. being combined within the Query board. If you used one of these boards, now you know why I suddenly disappeared. I know many of you have concerns regarding copyright laws and the information you post to the boards and the mailing lists. The following was posted by Rootsweb Management. "When you post messages to mailing lists, message boards, and other facilities at RootsWeb, those posts remain your property under copyright law." The same is true for those using the message boards at Ancestry.com. In short, if you posted it, you own it." If you are interested in knowing about other mailing list out there, one of the very best inventories of genealogical mailing lists is John Fuller’s Genealogy Resources on the Internet located at http://www.rootsweb.com/~jfuller/gen_mail.html If you ever need to unsubscribe from this list or any rootsweb list all you need to do is visit Password Central located at http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/ Follow the instructions and you will received an e-mail of all lists you belong to and from it you can unsubscribe from the ones you want to. Always know that I will be more than happy to help you if you are having problems unsubscribing, you only need to ask. If you would like to visit the Archived messages of this list, go to http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ and type in the name of the list you would like to search. Please remember, so that this list is better for each of us, the posting of virus warnings, test messages, chain letters, political announcements, current events, items for sale, personal messages, flames, etc., in other words Spam is NOT ALLOWED and will be grounds for removal. Consideration for exceptions, contact me at KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net There are a few items I would like to suggest for the benefit of each of us. 1. If someone posts a message to the list that should not have been posted, please just delete it. Know that I am taking care of the problem. If you post your unhappiness, then you just continue on the problem. I know it is hard when your heart has been offended, but for my sake, and the sake of the list, please just delete it. Rootsweb has a wonderful Spam Detective and it stops most of it. You should see what comes across my screen. I have to look at each of them to make sure that what was stopped was truly Spam. Once in a while, one slips by though and if this happens, just delete it and go on with what we all love, genealogical research. 2. If you would put the subject of your posting in the subject line it might give you a better chance to attract the attention of someone who has the information you are looking for or the attention of someone who is searching for the information you are posting. 3. Please remember to delete the tags and un-needed words when you re-send a message to the list with your answer. If you don't check this, your responses can become quite large and may cause problems with some of our member's servers. This member who might not be able to receive your message because of its size, just might be your long lost second cousin with all the answers you are looking for. 4. The wonderful relationship that develops between list members is also one of a Mailing Lists Problems. I encourage you to respond to the entire list with genealogical responses, you never know who your response will help. In the same thought I would like to ask you to not respond to the entire list with personal responses. Such as, the first message from a member says "Happy Birthday Mary" and then Mary says "Thank you” and then about 60 of our members also send "Happy Birthday Mary". This is what I mean by personal messages. Just keep in mind anything is ok to be posted as long as it has to do with the subject of the list. If you have a doubt ask me. KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net 5. Remember to keep your Virus protection up to date and never open any attached file unless you are 100% sure what it is and even then you are taking a chance. I want to thank each of you for your continued support of me and your willingness to help make this list the success it is. Kathleen Burnett List Mom KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net
