Dear Fellow Genealogists, You are invited to a Heritage Day Rally at the Oklahoma State Capitol on Tuesday, March 11. Sponsored by the Oklahoma Historical Society and a coalition of Oklahoma historical, genealogical and lineage organizations to show appreciation for our history and support for the preservation of that history, the day will begin at 10:00 a.m. at the auditorium of the Wiley Post Building of the Oklahoma Historical Society at 2100 N. Lincoln, Oklahoma City. After receiving details about the legislation needed, the attendees will proceed to the Capitol to speak with their legislators about the importance of completing the funding for the new Oklahoma History Center by authorizing the sale of the final $18 million in bonds needed to complete the project. Attendees will have the opportunity to tour the newly reopened Research Library and also to take a "hard hat" tour of the new History Center site. The OHS parking lot will be reserved for your convenience and shuttle vans will be available to move you around once you are parked. All three venues -- lobbying at the Capitol, the Library tour and the hard hat tour -- will be available beginning at 10:00 a.m. and continue until 3 p.m. We hope you can join us at the rally and encourage you to invite others who believe in the future of Oklahoma and who have an interest in her past. If you cannot be there, you can still support the effort by writing, calling or e-mailing your legislators to urge their support. For more information, please call the Oklahoma Historical Society at 405-521-2491. We hope to see you there. Sincerely, Oklahoma Genealogical Society Board of Directors P.O. Box 12986 Oklahoma City, OK 73157 Billie Fogarty, President

Mears is still there. It has been turned into a restaurant housed in the original building. Looks like it too, but the food is excellent. It is not in Lincoln Co., but in Comanche Co. near Lawton, OK, in the Wichital Mountains. I lived in Lawton for 20 years and went there many times. It has an operating seizmograph (monitoring earthquakes). The floors creek and it looks like it's about to fall down, but it's one of the most popular places to eat and see in that area. Unfortunately, I don't know about the people who live there now or in the past, but I'm sure if you write to the Oklahoma Genealogical Society or Historical Society they would be able to give you plenty of information about it. It's a really cool place, I visit there whenever I go back. I am planning a trip this month, actually, from the 15th to the 20th. Would you like me to pick up some information for you? In that case I would need your address in order to send it to you. Let me know. Analee [email protected]

Hi there. I'm just now getting back to my e-mail...sorry. Rossville Cemetary is near the town of Shawnee, Oklahoma. Take US 177 north from Shawnee.

Gregory, Sr who obtained land in the 1891 land run. He and Margaret Feezell Gregory had the following children:James H. Gregory, Jr, Ebenezer Alexander Greory, Margaret Lucinda Gregory Alexander, Robert G. Gregory, Alice Gregory Shipman Weaver Griffith, and John W. Gregory. These families lived in and around Prague, Meeker, Stroud, Davenport, Oilton, Shawnee, Chandler, Drumright. We went to a reunion at Ron Gregory's house in Claremore in September 2002. Ron is the son of Ebenezer Alexander Gregory. James H. Gregory, Sr also had a brother by the same name who should have descendants in the area. We have mineral rights to the land near Prague, OK but nothing has ever happened even though they drilled and capped a well. The price went down and the lease ran out. No one has contacted us since. If any one has tried to contact Gary Gregory at [email protected] the address has been changed to genebug @msn.com and I am th! e one to contact. My husband does no genealogy, only reaps the rewards. By the way, at the reunion in Claremore was the first time my husband had ever seen any of these cousins.
