Posted on: McCurtain County, Ok Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/McCurtain/11466 Surname: ------------------------- Mary thanks for the info. Please write me at [email protected] and we'll exchange info. Yes, my husbands mother is Wanda Wilson. Let me know when you get more and we are coming to Idabel in July.

I'm not an expert on the subject, but I bet if they went to Hempstead they didn't go though OK. The route would have been Lamar County, Clarksville, Texarkana and crossing the Red River at Fulton AR. They might have taken the same route to Sevier, but turned north at Texarkana and crossed the Red River at Ogden AR. I don't know where ferries were located, but there were railroad crossings over the Red River at that time. I don't know about back then, but I have never seen the Red River low enough to cross by wagon. The only Red River Ferry I know about is Colbert's Ferry south of Durant which would have been out of the way, maybe. I found this information at http://www.livgenmi.com/ar1895mp and http://www.livgenmi.com/ok1895mp These are very large images and take a while to download.

If someone was visiting family in Lamar Co., TX about 1887, what route would they have most likely taken to return to Hempstead and or Sevier Counties in AR? (It is unknown as to what time of year) In about 1887 Rebecca Denton Pettus was returning home to Arkansas after a visit and was thrown out of her wagon and killed during a stampede of wild horses. I am trying to trace her route in hopes of finding her grave. Kathleen Burnett

Posted on: McCurtain County, Ok Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/McCurtain/11465 Surname: ------------------------- McCurtain County, OK. The only Indian gravesites I have info for who are buried at Philly Cemetery is what I determined myself. The Lomans were probably buried near the Amos family, of which I know where they are buried. Ainsworth Amos, age 22 md. Sie Loman, age 18 (both of Goodwater) on 2 Oct 1908. Apparently she was a dau of Jason Loman (Indian, who could read, write, and speak English) born in Indian Territory Feb 1844; both his parents were born in MS. In 1900 census, he has in his household: Lue, his wife, born Apr 1881, they had been married one year. Lewis Loman, his son, born Jul 1889, in school. Lena, daughter, born Mar 1892; Pheobe, his dau born Jan 1900 (prob the dau of Lue). This 1900 census has Ainsworth Amos living in the household of Watson J. McKinney as a step-son. Amos born Feb 1884. Your Dad probably remembers Watson McKinney (his parents lived near them); also Ainsworth Amos. I did not find Sie Loman (who later md. Ainsworth Amos) in 1900, so she may have been off in school. Do you also descend from David Wilson born Feb 1863 in IT? In his household in 1900 are children: Helen, Rosa, Mackey, Corbin, Lena. David Wilson could read, write, and speak English. Siah Loman Amos died 5 May 1938. Is your mother Wanda Wilson? Is your uncle Caston Wilson? Happy Hunting, MaryE

I have ancestors who signed the petitions to the Federal Government in 1821 and 1825. Some of whom, I have not been able to find since. We will be in the area in late July and can go to libraries or where ever to find information.

Posted on: McCurtain County, Ok Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/McCurtain/11461 Surname: ------------------------- Wanda, I have a short list of the unmarked graves at Philly. This was gleaned from descendants of folks buried there that I could contact. This is an on-going interest of mine. MaryE

Posted on: McCurtain County, Ok Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/McCurtain/11459 Surname: ------------------------- The Loman (Choctaw Indian)family property at Goodwater was located (joined) the Philadelphia Cemetery on the west. This land became the property of my family in 1936. I know this from the Land Deed Abstract. I have always had an interest in the burials at Philadelphia. There are many buried there that do not have a marker. Some years ago, new graves being dug there would be in sites already occupied...but were buried anyway. I'm afraid this is still being done?? To prevent this from occurring in the present we need to contact descendants who may know exactally where the graves are located. When I was growing up in the community during the 30's - 40's there were a lot more noticable graves there than it appears today. Do you live in McCurtain County? MaryE Price

Posted on: McCurtain County, Ok Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/McCurtain/11458 Surname: Abney, Taylor, Baker ------------------------- Yes, this Ollie Taylor married Will Abney. Will was a step brother to my grandfather, Sank Baker. I don't know where the Taylors were from, but that she was raised by the Adams family. She later married after Will died, I'll have to find out that name for you from my mother. Let me know if this is the same Ollie Taylor. Judy

Posted on: McCurtain County, Ok Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/McCurtain/11457 Surname: King, Loman, Colbert, Wilson ------------------------- I saw your message and thanks for the research in advance. The relatives I believed buried at the Philadelphia cemetery in Goodwater, McCurtain Co. are Winnie Loman, Burt Loman, Sillen Wilson King, and possibly Philiston Colbert. My family that lived in Goodwater were the Wilsons. Thanks Penny

I got it too. But not from the person you named in a previous email. The one I got it from, I tried to email back to warn him he had a virus, and the email returned to me. Guess he changed his email address. This virus was sneaky. I didn't open the thing, I knew what it was. I deleted it, and deleted the trash. I thought I had got it all. But when I got home tonight, when I started the computer up, it activated. We had to go through a lot to get it off. It was trying to send out emails when I stopped it. I will paste my husband's email below to help in case one of you don't know how to get rid of this thing. Peggy Hamlett I am sending you this notice that I discovered a VIRUS upon opening my email this afternoon. Thankfully it appears this one started out by selecting junk mail from the trash, stripped HTML formatting from it, then sent it back to the entity that sent it and also sent it to me. Cute but not something I want automatically accomplished, thank you very much. Anyway, I downloaded the latest definitions created yesterday for Norton as the initial scan using last weeks definitions showed nothing. The newest definitions revealed the virus as being in the file INETD.EXE and identified the virus as [email protected] Virus.. In other words the virus apeared within the past week so hopefully none of you have it. This is a heads up. Above describes how it acted on our system. On the emails it creates it recreates itself in an attachment. The names of the attachment differ. On the five it created and sent before we caught it today the names of the attachments were, card.pif , card.pif, hamster.zip.scr , README.TXT.pif , SETUP.pif ... As you can see the most common thread is the ".pif" extension. ".pif" is usually used on windows systems to indicate a product information file. These files are run to create a set of system variables and create an environment for a particular program to run. The icons on your desktop are this type of file, they include a shortcut method of reaching the actual programs location on your hard disk and may provide any necessary additional data in the run command initiated when you double click the desk top icon. The "scr" extension is reserved for screen saver programs. All of the files the virus creates as attachments are 13.3KB in size regardless of the name or "." extension. Another name it creates which is the one we received as a reply to a genealogy inquiry is "MeWord.avi.pif" and "Me_Nude.avi.pif" It too was 13.3KB in length. The virus checker did not catch that because it is too new. Anyway The GOOD NEWS, the thing is easily removed. If you notice that your out box is suddenly showing up as having messages to send when you have not created any and are not sending any then stop the internet connection by logging off. I'm uncertain that the "INETD.EXE" is the file name created by the virus in every instance but it is the name used by the program on our system. To remove it I took the following steps. >From the "Start" Menu, I opened "run" and entered "msconfig" then clicked "OK" This brings up the "System Configuration Utility" There are six tabs at the top of the utility, "General", "Config.sys", "Autoexec.bat", "System.ini", "Win.ini", and "Startup" The tab to select is "Startup" This brings up a list of program options to be started "run" each time the system initializes. Not all of the items may be checked and the list varies from computer to computer depending on the hardware configuration. I admonish you to not begin checking and unchecking boxes as this may enable or disable programs and functions you may not desire. What I looked for was something new in the list but if you have not done this before you will not have a reference for that. I found the "INETD.EXE" program file had been added and simply removed the check mark in the box on the left to disable it from being loaded next time I turned on the system. If the virus behaves in the same manner it did on my system and creates a file named "INETD.EXE" it will add itself to the startup list by creating a "run = C:/WINDOWS/INETD.EXE" entry. Uncheck that option in msconfig then click apply at the bottom of the "System Configuration Utility" window. When you close System Configuration it will prompt you to restart your computer. You should do this. When the system completes rebooting you can then open windows explorer to the Windows Directory or wherever the path statement in the list indicates it is, locate the INETD.EXE file and Delete it. That completes removing the virus from your system. You can remove it from the trash and be certain it is GONE. We received it yesterday. We closed down the system this morning and on rebooting this afternoon the virus began operating. In other words the virus does not begin affecting your system until the next time you turn the system on. That then allows the entry it makes in your startup list to take effect. Hope nobody else receives the thing but if you do, you now have some clues as to what it is, how it behaves, and best of all how to get rid of it. Getting rid of it easily is the best part. Hope this is useful. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Reid" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2001 11:42 AM Subject: Re: [OKMCCURT] Virus!!!!

I wrote Tawasha Hubbard about this problem April 7th and have not received a reply. The name on the one I received was "Cunningham". I Assume it to be from that person but they may not be aware of it. Might just be passing it along without knowing it.
