Hi Ron! Gosh you have been busy! If I can ever help you let me know. Did you find out anything about the Brush Hill Cemetery Project. I was out there a couple of months ago and it appeared that someone had started doing some clean up work in spots. I tried to get some of Neal's cousins to come and help me doing some cleaning around some of the family grave plots, but no takers of course. I have meant to call Martha after we last conversed and I have not done it. I always have loved her and enjoyed her! But I am like everyone else, I never slow down. I am slow right now, as I am recouping from foot surgery and can't do a lot....even missed the ballgame on Friday night. And on Homecoming weekend at that, can you imagine? Our baby granddaughter is buried in Greenlawn in Checotah, so good luck with that cemetery. Hope y'all are ok. TTYL, Thelma

There are a few additions to the McIntosh County OKGenWeb page. A guestbook was added some time back. It hasn't proved to be very useful, but you CAN use it to list the Surnames you're researching. The names will show up in the site search later. It takes rootsweb a week to ten days to re-index the site. There is now a form on the "What's new" page that allows you to be notified by email when that page has changed. Since all new additions are listed on that page, you'll know within 24 hours of anything new at the site. We're working on transcribing and indexing the 1920 McIntosh County census. A few EDs are there already. Expect more in the weeks ahead. We're also working on Greenlawn Cemetery in Checotah. When the first third is done, that will be put on line with the other cemeteries. Should be ready within the next month. Ron & Elaine Long in Ada, OK McIntosh County OK USGenWeb Coordinators http://www.rootsweb.com/~okmcinto/index.htm

A researcher who recently visited the Brush Hill cemetery reports that someone in the community has taken up a collection to finance a much needed and overdue cleanup of the cemetery. Does anyone know who to contact about helping finance the effort on a continuing basis? I'd be glad to add the information to the online cemetery listing.

Sandy, I just read your querry about Virginia S. Her mother Roselle Robertson(Howell) was my ggrandfather Tollie Howell's sister. Her son Larry Spradley, lived at Brush Hill 'till about a year or two ago, not sure where he moved to but I could find out. Roselle had one sis, Ethel Harp, died in Detroit, five brothers,Cliff, Hill, Roy, DeWitt and Tollie. They all came from Ga. but that is all I know about their pre-Okla days. Perhaps you might be able to fill in some of those blanks for me. I live close to Checotah and would be glad to do a lookup if you let me know what you need. thanks Don Roberts. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, September 26, 1999 9:16 PM Subject: [OKMCINTO] Checotah, OK > Lynn, > Could your dd or sister be able to tell me how to contact the local paper > about obits there?

Hi, I am trying to find the family of Virgil KELLEY from Oklahoma around Checotah. Do you think your sister would know any of the KELLEY family. He had a brother name Carl KELLEY who was married to a Hudy someone. She has probably since remarried. I was told she still lives there, but don't know for sure her last name. Could be Rhudel Rhudall or something. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello List Members, I have a question on a couple who resides in the Lenna Cemetery and I would like to know in anyone knows anything about them. The are; W. S. Wood b. Jan. 18, 1850 d. Jan. 25, 1902 and his wife Almara Wood b. Aug. 15, 1854 d. June 18, 1924 I think W. S. Wood might be William S Wood. If it is who I think it is, my grandfather refereed to him as " Uncle Bill " from Tiger Mountain. Joe Wood Fresno, CA

Sorry, Janey, I don't have any of those names in the family. I haven't researched back very far, and if I do come across any of them, I will certainly Email you. Best of luck.

Hi to everyone with McIntosh County TREAT ancestors and relatives, The registration brochure is now available for the 1999 Treat Gathering to be held in Fort Smith, AR on October 1-3. The conference will held at the Points Inn on Rogers Avenue in Fort Smith. A brief summary of events follows. The full brochure is available upon request. Reservations for the banquet need to be made in advance. Thanks! Gary ___________________________________________________________ 1999 Treat Gathering The Gathering in 1999 will be held in Fort Smith, Arkansas, the gateway to the Real Wild, Wild West. This historic city is located at the junction of the Arkansas and Poteau Rivers, on the border between Arkansas and Oklahoma. Much of its early history revolved around keeping law and order in this key border area into the Indian Territory. As part of our conference we will be touring the Fort Smith National Historic Site which includes the site of the 1817 fort, the old commissary building from the 1840s fort, as well as Judge Isaac Parker's Courthouse and Jail. There are many other museums and sites of interest in the Fort Smith area. Some of you may be interested in using the excellent genealogy collection in the Fort Smith Public Library, located just blocks from Judge Parker's Courthouse. This collection focuses on Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma. Our Saturday conference will also feature lectures of interest to TREAT family members and special times just to visit with "long lost" cousins. A database(s) will be available during this time to aid persons tracking their TREAT ancestors and cousins. The Saturday evening banquet will be a buffet featuring deep fried catfish filets and sliced round of beef, with a variety of salads and side dishes. The cost for this banquet is $16.50 per person (children 5 and under are free, 6-12 are $8.25). The after dinner speaker will be Nell Treat Johnson, President of the Treat Family Association. She will be talking to us about Richard Treat, the original Treat immigrant to this country. On Friday before the conference, an informal dinner reception will be held at the Golden Corral restaurant for those arriving in town early. SPECIAL SUNDAY BONUS EVENT For those staying over into Sunday, a daytrip into the beautiful Ozark Mountains is planned. We will drive to the site of Treat, AR, and visit the property once owned by Andrew Jackson Treat, ancestor of many of the Treats now living in the Fort Smith area. The trip will also include a visit to the old Treat Cemetery, as well as the gravesite of A J Treat at the Annie's Chapel Cemetery. QUESTIONS? If you have any questions about the conference you may contact: Gary D Treat, Gathering Coordinator e-mail: [email protected] ABOUT THE ASSOCIATION The Treat Family Association was formed more than a decade ago to bring together TREATs from all across the country and from every TREAT ancestral line. In addition to sponsoring this conference, the association sends out newsletters every year which provide opportunities for members to place genealogical queries to other members and exchange information. The association welcomes memberships from all conference attendees. The annual membership dues are currently $5.00 per person.

Bonnie, I'm really new at this (computers and lists) but just wanted to say "God Bless You and Be With You" and you and yours will be in my prayers. He does work in mysterious ways.

The past 2 years has been a most memorable experience for me & I have each of you to thank for that time. It has become necessary for me to unsub to the lists to which I belong for family reasons. You have helped me through some pretty tough times & you have shared some joyous events. For this I thank each of you. If there is a way, in the future, that I can return I will try to do that. That does not appear to be feasible in the near future but Heavenly Father works in wonderous ways. May to good Lord watch between thee & me, until we meet again... Bonnie F. (no address)
