Posted on: Okmulgee Co. Ok Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/Okmulgee?read=494 Surname: Reeves, Smith, McDaniel, Keeth ------------------------- My grandfather, Linus Samuel "Hoss" Smith was married to Fannie Lou Reeves. This marriage probably took place before statehood, and it probably took place in Okmulgee County--at least that is where Fannie's parents lived. She has descendents in Okmulgee County even today. He was the son of Mary Lucy Smith and Edwin Smith. He had half-siblings named McDaniel from his mother's first marriage--these siblings were Learh, Claude, Annie, and Cal McDaniel. I do not know the names of Fannie's parents. Hoss and Fannie are a sad story. From all family accounts, theirs was a true love match, and I suspect they married very young. They had three children--Mary, Bill, and Morgan. The children were born (approximately) 1905, 1907, and 1909. Then Fannie Lou died. She may have died in childbirth, but I do not know. Hoss was young, heartbroken, poor, and left with three children to care for. He then married my grandmother, Callie Dora Keeth, with whom it appears he also had a happy union. She was the daughter of Sylvester Keith and Salina Viola Miles, and she was only 18 when they married. That would mean they married in 1912 or 1913. This marriage could have been in Okmulgee County, but I've never been able to find licenses for either of these marriages. Hoss and Callie had two children, a daughter named Ira who was born in 1915 and a son named Samuel Lenus who was born in 1920--where, I do not know. Hoss died one year later, in 1921. He was probably not yet 40 years old and the cause of his death is not known. He is buried in Crystal, Oklahoma. Fannie's son, Bill Smith, lived on Tiger Mountain until the late 1950's. He had daughters named Dorothy, Louise, Patsy, Judy, and Billie Faye. He had sons named Leon, Wayne, and Clifford. I have fond memories of visiting the old school on Tiger Mountain Road with these children--that was in the 1940's. If anyone can tell me about Lenus Samuel "Hoss" Smith--or Fannie Lou or Callie Dora, please do. I would indeed be grateful. Shirley

Dear List, I may have already posted this query, but new people may know the answer. Has anyone any knowledge of Deep Fork Cemetery around the time of 1914? It's referred to in my grandmother's obit, but the cemetery book I browsed for Okmulgee Co. in the local library doesn't list it. A relative believes she's found it about 2 miles southeast of town, but it's totally overgrown and no stones are visible in the current state. Has anyone ever heard of it? Thanks, Ginger

A good reference book to buy is one called The Roads Of Oklahoma put out by the Shearer company. You can find it in any good book store. What makes this one so good is that it is an atlas of Oklahoma. It shows all the cemeteries in the state. It does not name them, but it does show them all and on what road they are on. In looking at mine I see several cemeteries listed all around Okmulgee. If I were in Okmulgee County I could use my book to find every single cemetery in the county.

Ok Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/Okmulgee?read=492 Surname: Pinkston ------------------------- In Henryetta, Okmulgee County, c.1938 to 1940, I went to school with a Wanda Pinkston. I can't remember if it was in Jr. high school or earlier. Anyway, this will put one Pinkston family in Henryetta that could be of help. Good Luck!!

Posted on: Okmulgee Co. Ok Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/Okmulgee?read=491 Surname: Davis, Stormont ------------------------- Okmulgee County about a mile or two north of Henryetta c.1933 or 34. In my youth I do remember that at a summer dance on a temporary floor in the meadow across from the Blackstone mine, just 50 yards west of the highway and about a mile north of Eagle Pitcher Smelter, I was sitting on the fender of my parent's car when a young man was shot right in front of me. His only words were, "what did you do that for??" The crowd started yelling, "Murder Murder." I remember the killer was a Deputy Sheriff named Don Stormont and he was later found innocent because of many relatives in law enforcement in the county. I also remember the names Davis and Kirby. If you can check the Okmulgee Times and the Henryetta Free Lance for stories from that era, I'm sure you will fill in a few blanks. Good Luck
