anna i don't know how long the city has had the woodsman's cementery in morris, ok, but i do know for sure that the city hall has a list of most everyone buried there. That's how i found my grandfather's grave. we went to city hall looking for my uncle's grave, knowing he had died at my great grandparents house in morris, so figured he was buried there. well, we didn't find robert's grave but found my grandfather's. the ladies at the city hall are the nicest people and just bent over backward trying to help us. if you write to them and ask for a xeroxed page of mccall's buried in the cementery, i would imagine that they would mail it to you. it was two years ago that we walked the whole cementery and mccall does trigger something in my feeble brain, but what i don't know. the second time i went last thanksgiving, we did find my uncle robert's grave. seems funny to call him uncle robert, as he was only 15 1/2 when he died. but uncle he was!!! one of my cousin's aunt by marriage, her husband and my father would have been 1st cousins, knew where robert was buried. so she went to the cementery with us. she and her husband had been caretakers for years there and she said that everytime they cleaned the cementery that ab (her husband) would tell her, that's where robert's buried, don't ever forget it. so she took us right to it. there is no marker. i can't imagine my grandfather not putting a marker on his first son's grave. i've been trying to think of the caretaker's name and it's floyd something. i just love getting old, everyday is a new experience. i also hope to retire. this fall if i can manage it. it is a shame that your husband doesn't like okla. i think it is a beautiful state, especially up in the se corner. i fell in love with it long before i found my cousins 20 months ago. am trying to decide whether to move there or not. it really is a major decision and certainly don't want to make a mistake at my age. you take care and if you need anything, give me a holler. josie

Josie, Thank you for the info. I hope to go to the cemetery someday. I retire in about a year, and then I am going to hit the road. I will have to leave my husband somewhere along the way though, as he doesn't like OK, he says. Bad experience I guess. Do you remember seeing any tombstones for William Perry McCall or Sicily Cordelia McCall? I believe that my great uncle, Ulysses Grant, or U.G.McCall, and his wife are also buried there. Would you happen to know how I could go about finding out for sure that they are there? Is there a sexton or an office that would have the records? Also, how long has it been in the hands of the city? Sorry to ask so many questions. I appreciate your informative answer to my post.

anna i go to morris cementery every time i go to okmulgee. it is about 8 mi. due east from there. the cementery is so well kept. the caretaker is the retired postmaster, who needless to say everybody knows. he was so much help to me when i took my grandfather's headstone from texas to morris to put on the grave. if you ever get a chance to go, by all means, do so. it used to be a woodmen of the world cementery, but has been taken over by the city. josie

Thsnk you, Patti, I really don't think that Bushyhead is where they are buried. I am just going to have to send for their death certificates and get the question settled. Yes, I have heard of Clem McSpadden. Thanks for your time and offer. If I find that they are there, I will certainly accept it.

Hello, As some of you may know, Rootsweb and Ancestry.com have recently merged. While Rootsweb will continue to function separately by providing us with all the services, research sources, and over 21,000 genealogical mailing lists just as it has in the past, the merger has provided Rootsweb listmembers with a few 'perks' from Ancestry.com. Starting today and lasting until the end of July, Ancestry.com is opening up all of their databases to us for free access. They have routinely allowed free access to all new resources for the first 10 days, and I occasionally pass that information along to you if it pertains to something of particular interest. However, until July 31st, ALL of their databases can be searched for free. Please don't misinterpret this as a recommendation beyond the free offer, as I only wish to pass along to you the ability to search records which are normally open to members only. The signup is very simple...I did it, and took all morning just to get through the databases beginning with the letter 'A', as the list of records is quite extensive. Browsing further, I found an actual photocopy of my g-g-grandfather's Civil War pension application. They also have a free daily newsletter with genealogical articles, lists of the new 'free for the first 10 days' databases and maps, and research tips from readers. Many of the little things I post to the list have come from this newsletter. The URL for the free offer is: http://www.ancestry.com/subscribe/freepromo.asp?sourcecode=A11AF I deliberated whether or not to forward this offer on to you, but then decided that you could do a great deal of free research in the next couple of weeks! I hope each of you will check through what is available, and wish you good luck in your research. Be sure to let us know any new discoveries! Thanks, LaRae Okmulgee County -- OKOKMULG listmgr.

Shirley, Did any one answer your e-mail about your family in Okmulgee Co.? I can do some lookups for you. People living in Okmulgee Co. may have married at Okmulgee. They had a court house before Ok. became a state. I have heard that some of the old records are in other towns. There is also a court house in Henryetta and that is Okmulgee Co. There is another town south of Okmulgee that has a lot of old marriage records. I don't remember what town it is. I will look and see. Also, if they were closer to Creek Co. they may have got married there. Creek Co. has 3 court houses, Sapulpa, Drumright, and Bristow. Ona Brown

They charge $10, but it's well worth it. It will indicate who the funeral home director was and where your gfather was to be buried. I don't know how much you already know about his death, but it will also list cause of death, as well as his parents' names.
