List, please forgive me for going this route to locate people. But I'm not having any luck in the 'normal' routes. I'm trying to get info on Shorty Roberts in the Garvin and Valliant area during 1930/1940's ?. I'd like his given name and names of any connected family members. I believe at one time he was connected to the Whitaker Family, but not really certain. Did he have a store located in the area somewhere too? Any information will be appreciated.

Vada or Vadar Cockerham Lesters Bros: John, Jim and several more These families were In McCurtain County, Okla. in the 1920 / 1930 era I think. I'm unable to find verification of this with census records in McCurtain County. Any leads or help will be appreciated. Doris

Elaine, I was in the Broken Bow library a couple of years ago. At that time Obit books for Forest Hill and Wheelock were being compiled. Do you know if these books have been completed and are for sale yet? If so, availability and price? I know the Forest Hill listing has been put online, but I'd still like a copy of the book, I think....
