Judy Sandy Pratt here, from Klamath Falls, OR. Please forgive me for changing the subject. I was just reading with interest the information that your mom is 83 years old and from McCurtain County, and was just wondering (praying actually)that maybe she might have known my father's family. Their name was Coffman and they were on the Dawes Choctaw roll of 1902. My grandfather was Melvin Coffman, b abt 1896; Melvin's mother was Sarah Coffman, b abt 1876. My father, John Coffman, was born in Mar. 1918, and raised in Broken Bow. He was a cobbler by trade and was slightly crippled from having polio when young. He passed away in Idabel in July 1989. My parents divorced when I was young and John returned to Oklahoma and I never saw him again. My mom does not know any history of them for me. I need to know who Melvin's father was and what Sarah E. Coffman's maiden name was. I would be truly grateful for any little tidbit(s) of information she might remember. Melvin had a sister, Elizabeth P. Coffman and brother, George Dewey Coffman, also listed with him on Dawes roll. I have not been able to find these people any where else except on that roll. Thanks and hugs and kisses in advance for her. And thank you also for letting me intrude.
