Posted on: McCurtain County, Ok Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/McCurtain/1208 Surname: balisle ------------------------- Mike Balisle, I sent you an e-mail earlier and did not know I had this information until I went through my mothers papers. I found a David Preston Balisle, who was married to a Nora Mae Nash I think they lived at Eagletown, okla in McCurtain co. Nora mae Nash's mother was Myrtle Roth. This Myrtle Roth is my g-aunt on my mothers side, who was Luceal Pate. Daughter of Augusta (Gus,or Tootie) Pate. If this Balisle is your grandfather he worked with my grandfather Pate around the Broken Bow area in the loging business. My grandfather referred to him as (Fat) Balisle. Hope this may be of help.Jimmie King.
