Posted on: Major County, Ok Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/Major/10408 Surname: Cousins ------------------------- MANY thanks to Pat Weaver and the Major County Gen. Soc for the research into the family of George Cousins and wife Jane Smith. They had one child: Wm. F. Cousins (wife Ella Chapman) buried in Sarn Mennonite Cemetery west of Orienta. I am now looking for the children of Wm. and Ella: Virginia E. Cousins, Elmer J. Cousins, and Christie Faye Cousins who were born between 1920 and 1929. They could very well be still alive. Anyone having knowledge of these people, please contact me

Could this Evans be any relation to Alaindia Evans Lierle? If so please contact me. Sandra

Searching for any information on Willie Lee Evans (female) b. 09/1887. Most likely b. in Texas. Appreciate any helpful leads. Thanks, Kg

Geraldine. Thank-you so much for the info that you sent. W.S. Clark is my great grandfather, that is buried in Liberty Cem. The dates thats on the stone are wrong. My g. granfather was born March 25-1862 in LaClede County, Missouri and died on May 7-1937 there in Oklahoma. Do you know where I might beable to search for an Obituary for that year in Major County? Thanks Franki Clark Dickman

According to the Major Co. Cemetery book, there is a W.S. CLARK buried in the Liberty cemetery but the date differs from yours. It may be helpful. Date of birth was 3-25-1851 and death was 5-8-1938. One day may make a difference in looking up death records. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Franki52@aol.com> To: <OKMAJOR-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2001 9:43 AM Subject: [OKMAJOR] Clark in Major County > Major County Searchers > > I am trying to find an obit. for William S.

Listed in the Ames cemetery is a GALYEN, Mayme F. (1899-1972) and a GALYEN, Jesse W. (1891-1952). We don't have these obits in our local files but I live about 60 miles from Fairview. Maybe they could help you at the Fairview library. They have a large file of local obits there. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Rattigan" <jim_rattigan@compuserve.com> To: <OKMAJOR-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2001 9:02 AM Subject: [OKMAJOR] AMES CEMETERY / ORBITS > Posted on: Major County, Ok Query Forum > Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/Major/10407 > > Surname: GALYEN > ------------------------- > > My grandfather was Jesse W Galyen who moved to Ames Major Co. about 1948 > with his wife Mayme and Son Nelson (Buddy) .

Posted on: Major County, Ok Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/Major/10405 Surname: SCHALE ------------------------- South Mennonite Brethren Cemetery, Major Co, OK: SCHALE: Jacob 1871-1915 Florence 1875-1946 Jacob Jr no dates Albert J. 7-20-1895 - 1-17-1957 Ruby M. 1-4-1900 - 10-3-1979 Fairview Cemetery, Fairview, Major Co, OK SCHALE: Jerry Lyn 1-3-1957 - 1-3-1957 Martin J. 7-24-1920 -5-5-1985 Martin Jr. 1943-1988 No mention in Major Co. History Book. Obituaries Jacob Schale - 3 obits in Fairview Republican, May 27, May 28, May 28, 1915 Jacob Schale Dead Jacob Schale, one of the most respected German citizens of Major county died suddenly Tuesday morning of heart failure at his home a mile east of Fairview. He had risen to go about the days work as usual but complained of not feeling well and lay down again. In a moment he was dead. Jacob Schale was born in South Russia in 1870 and came to America with his parents at the age of ten. In 1894 he married Florence Seibel and to their union nine children were born, five sons and four daughters. Shortly after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Schale came to Oklahoma and settled in what is now Major county. In the seventeen years that he lived here he won a place of high regard in the hearts of his neighbors and his death is a distinct loss to the community. The funeral will be held at the South Mennonite Church, Friday at two p.m. Jacob J. Schale Dead Jacob J. Schale was born on Februrary 23, 1870, in South Russia, and died suddenly from heart failure at his home one mile east of Fairview, May 25, at 5:30 a.m., at the age of 45 years, 3 months and 2 days. He came to America with his parents, who landed here June 20, 1880, and settled near Hillsboro, Kansas. He was married to Miss Florence Seibel at Hillsboro, September 2, 1894, and immediately after the wedding came to Oklahoma and took a claim 6 miles northwest of Fairview where they lived 16 years, then moved to their present home one mile east of Fairview. He leaves a wife, 9 children, 5 sons and 4 daughters, his step-mother, 2 half brothers, 5 sisters and a great number of friends to mourn his early and sad death. Funeral services at the South Mennonite Brethren church at 2 o'clock, Friday, May 28, and burial soon after the services at the cemetery near the church. The community was greatly shocked when the word was sent out early Tuesday morning that Jacob Schale had died at his home one mile east of town. He had been in town just the evening before and seemed to be in the best of health, jolly and in the best of spirits. It was heart failure. Jacob Schale was born February 23, 1870, in South Russia. His parents came to the United States, June 20, 1880, and settled near Hillsboro, Kansas. There he was married to Florence Seibel, September 2nd, 1894. Right after the wedding they came to Oklahoma, settling on a homestead, six miles northwest of Fairview which he had secured in the opening of the Strip. After living there for 16 years, he sold the old homestead and bought the present home where he died on May 25th, at the age of 44 years, 3 months and 2 days. He leaves a wife and nine children, consisting of five sons and four daughters, besides five sisters, his stepmother and two half brothers with a great host of friends to mourn his untimely death. Mr. Schale has always been an active worker in the church of his belief, besides being identified with anything which went to make this country a better place to live, always helped in public improvements and at his death was a member of the township board of Fairview township. He was regarded as a model citizen and his presence will be missed in public life. The funeral services will be conducted at the South Mennonite church, Friday afternoon by Rev. M.M. Just after which the body will be laid to rest in that cemetery. Fairview Republican, Jan. 24, 1957 Services for Albert J. Schale, 61, were held at the Fairview Mennonite Brethren church at 2:30 p.m. Sunday with Rev. Loyal Funk officiating. Burial, under the direction of the Speece Funeral home, was in the South Mennonite Brethren cemetery. Schale died Thursday at an Enid hospital. He had suffered a heart attack several years ago, but had remained active, in spite of intermittent attacks. His condition worsened about three months ago and he was taken to the hospital when it became critical about two weeks ago. Born at Hillsboro, Kansas, he moved here with his parents at the opening of the Cherokee Strip. The family homesteaded northwest of Fairview and he was still farming in this area at the time of his death. He also had earned quite a reputation as an auctioneer and much of his time was spent in this pursuit. A member of the Mennonite Brethren church, he played an active part in the life of the church, singing in the male chorus, and until his illness three months ago, taught a Sunday school class. During the past few years he had directed a regular radio broadcast from an Enid station. The program, sponsored by him, featured the "Melody" quartet. He is survived by his wife Ruby of the home, a son, Martin, Clovis, N.M.; two daughters, Mrs. Marjorie Cline, Whittier, Calif., and Mrs. Berdine Sharp, Lubbock, Texas; four sisters, Mrs. Emil Faul and Mrs. Tony Seibel, Harvey, N. Dakota, Mrs. Fred Hein, Fairview, and Mrs. Sam Fox, Okeene; three brothers, Joe Schale, Bismark, N. Dakota, Raymond Schale, Harvey, N. Dakota, and Jack Schale, Enid; also a halp-brother, Dr. Otto Faul, Harvey, and seven grandchildren. Sidenote: My husband's great-grandmother, Rebecca Weaver, bought her house from Albert J. Schale in 1930. I believe (although I haven't looked it up) that he was executor to an estate that contained the house. The house has been in the family ever since and now we are the proud occupants.
