Davis James was 28 years old in 1925. Grandmother either said he died at the age of 28 or in 1928, my dad does not remember which. So he would have been young. We think he died in 1925, since my dad does not remember him. My dad would have been 3 years old. Thanks Mary

Broken Bow News, 12 Jul 1934 "Father of Local Man Passed Away" "Funeral services for William Jerome Thweatt born in Mississippi in 1856 was conducted at the Holly Creek School Building Monday 9 July 1934 by Rev Barnard Franklin. Mr Thweatt was the father of 13 children, 8 of whom survie him, one of whom is C.R. Thweatt of Broken Bow. The deceased was a member of the Missionary Baptist Church which he joined 46 years ago. He passed away at his home in Texas and the body was brought to Holly Creek for burial." Later, I find this obituary for Tisha Elvira Thweatt. Broken Bow News, 12 February 1948 "Tisha Elvira Thweatt" (From this obit, which is ratherlong, I will highlight key statements) Services held at Holly Creek Church, followed by burial in Holly Creek Cemetary Born 1857 in Henderson, Texas Mother of 13 children, 7 of whom survive her [one apparently died after William Gerome's death] which include: C.R Thweatt of Broken Bow, Mrs Will Thurman of Broken Bow, Mrs Lee Stewart of Idabel, W.G.Thweatt of Petty, Texas, C.L.

I have a story from the Haskell County Indian Territory to 1988 book that mentions the first Sappington family that came to Haskell County was Wesley Winfield Sappington and his wife Zilla. I also have Sappington's in my Lane family line but couple cousins away from myself. The article is F586 pages 501-587 (very long articles). Miles Welcome Sappington, Charley, Bane and Mary. Who is the Sappington Family that your grandad was seeing? There is another aritcle that mentions Ethel Gifford married Irvin Reid. Doesn't say anymore about her.

Albert Young was my gg-gf. I'm not sure if he actually lived in McCurtain County, but some of his kids did. He was at least there in 1913 for a picture of his family to be taken. He was married twice. My g-gm Martha was from his first marriage. Among his children were Ellie, Jesse, Archie, Lena, Lawrence, Alice & Ethel. His 2nd wife was Martha Minerva. I don't know the name of his first wife. Ellie and Martha are children I know from his first wife. Do any of these look familiar.
