Jean, The 1977 History of Major County, OK, "Gloss Mountain Country", does not have an index. However, I looked through the family history sections, which are listed alphabetically and did not find a Pixler family. If your family is definitely listed in the "1909" Atlas of Woods County, then they would not be in Major County, since Major County was formed at statehood in 1907. If you are referring to the "1906" Atlas of Woods County, YES, the area that became Major County was included in Woods County.

Jim, Would you mind checking in the "1977 History of Major Co., OK" and see is there is anything for a "Pixler" family. Peter my Grand- father is listed in the1909 Atlas of Woods Co. OK as a land owner. I'm sure that area became Major Co. My father Edwin Pixler was born there in 1911. I would appreciate your kindness in looking when you have the time.

Hi Linda ! Edwin Gustaf Wahl was my grandfather. I asked my father, Jack Dempsey Wahl, Sr. if he knew of any Walls around Fairview,Ok. and he said that he can remember his father knowing an Ed Walls. My father says there is an Edward Walls ,1872-1937, buried in Pleasant Hill Cem. located 2 1/2 miles east of Ringwood on Hyw.60. I hope I was able to help you in any way. Peggy Wahl Chalker

to Peggy Chalker, Thank you so much for the info you posted about Ed Walls. I had no idea of his birth or death dates. This has to be the right man since many other Walls family members are buried in Pleasant Hill Cemetery. Linda

Help! Is there anyone out there that ever heard of John R. Lierle that married Alaindia Evans in 1920. He was 65 and she was 53 at the time and were both from Watonga. He died somewhere around 1938. Would like to know where he is buried. Also would like to know anything on either one of them. This would break the brick wall for us if anyone could help us here. I am in Caddo county and would do my best to help any one that needs help here. Sandra Lierle

Sandra, You could call the Oklahoma Historical Society and with name and approximate date of death, you could probably get them to check their Cemetery listing for Blaine County, the I.O.O.F. is one of the biggest cemeteries there in Watonga, (primary other than Indian or the Cordell cemetery east of town). Just call or even mail them a request with a return envelope and they may locate the grave for you. Do you know of any connections there in Caddo county for the Nusz, Rusch, or Cordell families?

To Doris Unruh, Thank you for your reply about my Ed Walls family search. That sounds like it may be the right family. Ed Walls originally had a farm a few miles from Fairview. Where did you go to school? My husband, Bob Walls, attended the Ringwood school. He says there were a lot of Unruhs in the area. Linda

Linda, I checked the 1977 History of Major County, OK, "Gloss Mountain Country" for your Walls family of Ringwood. No index, unfortunately, is available for the book. BUT, family stories are listed alphabetically. There is no listing for any Wall family. Several family stories are listed for the Wahl family, all of German descent and mostly, if not all, from the Isabella area. One mention of Edwin Gustaf Wahl, born Feb. 3, 1897, who is buried in the Isabella Cemetery. No other "Ed Wahl" is listed that could possibly be your "Ed Walls" Sorry. HOWEVER, I decided to look up the Boaz family, and there it was, "The J. P. Boaz and Edward Walls Families", on page 35. This family story was submitted by Juanita Walls Nash. Not much ancestral information, however. States that J. P. "Bud" Boaz came from Metcalf, Illinois to Oklahoma. His sister, "Lula Boaz, hoped that her health would be better in this climate and settled on the 80 acres 1/2 mile south of Ringwood. Her boyfriend, Edward Walls, didn't want her to come out here unprotected, so he was soon on the spot homesteading the quarter section across the road and 1/4 mile to the south." They were married March 31, 1896, and had five children (no dates given), Oakley, Everett "Mike", Wanda, Eldon "Bill", and Juanita "Babe". "Ed Walls built the Ford Garage in 1918" in Ringwood. "Oakley Walls was killed in World War I.....'Mike' died with appendicitis.... Wanda Walls married Forrest Scott. She resides in Enid. Eldon 'Bill' Walls is a retired postman in Kansas City. 'Babe' Walls married Roy Nash and resides near Ringwood." Consequently, if you are searching the Walls family origins, check out Metcalf, Illinois.

Hi Linda, I was raised at Isabella, Ok. That is near Ringwood. There was an Ed Wall family living 2-3 miles east of Isabella. Is that the family you are searching?

Linda, I called my mother who was raised in Ringwood and she remembers your Walls family. Have you check in the Major County 1976 bicentennial History Book. She think there is information on your Walls line in it.

Hello Listers, I'm just beginning a search for the Ed Walls family of Ringwood c.1910. Wife: Lulu Boaz. Children included Oakley, Wanda, Juanita (Babe), Mike, & Eldon (Bill). Is anyone else aware of this family? Eldon had sons Richard and Robert (b.1935). Linda

Dear List Members I have started a new mailing list called OK-Cemeteries. It is a mailing list for anyone interested in locating, and preserving historical information about, Oklahoma cemeteries or sharing information about them. To subscribe to this list - have your members send the word subscribe to OK-Cemeteries-L-request@rootsweb.com or OK-Cemeteries-D-request@rootsweb.com for the digest form. I look forward to helping this list grow and become another tool for those researching in Oklahoma. Kathleen Burnett List Mom

The following is a wonderful tool that was shared with me by someone on another list I belong to. Street Atlas USA. It is a mapping program on CD published by Delorme, a well-known mapmaker. You can find the location of cemeteries and towns. Not only can you find names, but you can find most any physical feature. The search results give you the Latitude and Longitude of an object. I then use that Latitude and Longitude in Street Atlas to locate the cemetery. After I type the cemetery I am looking for and receive the found sites I then go to "Show Feature Location" to see the map. The Geographical Names Information System (GNIS). It was created by the US Geological Survey and is wonderful. The URL is http://mapping.usgs.gov/www/gnis/gnisform.html Kathleen Burnett List Mom
