Hi, I would like to let you know about a new Rootsweb program that will greatly reduce the time it takes for you to view posts made to the GenConnect boards. In the past, I have saved all posts made to the boards during the week, and then sent them altogether to the list on the weekends when I had more time. Starting today, all posts will be sent directly to the mailing list, via the new 'Gateway' system. This is the announcement from Rootsweb: "GenConnect boards can now be "gatewayed" to mailing lists. When a board is gatewayed to a mailing list, every message posted to the GenConnect board will be forwarded to the corresponding mailing list. The message sent to the list will contain the URL of the specific post to allow the list subscribers to respond directly to the message. In this manner, gatewaying will enable more effective communication between the mailing lists and the GenConnect boards." The following messages should be the last before the new program begins to reroute them. Vera Reeves was very busy today, so I divided the posts into 3 sets of 6 each! - --------------------------- New posts have been made to the Okmulgee Co. boards.

Ok Biographies Post --- A new message, "PICKERING of Bald Hill," was posted by Wendy on Mon, 27 Mar 2000 --- Surname: PICKERING --- NAME: Wendy EMAIL: wendy@youngminds.com DATE: Mar 27 2000 --- QRYTEXT: JOHN DAILY PICKERING was b 1855 in east Tennessee. His family came to Chickasaw NTN, Indian Territory in 1879, settling west of present Ardmore, Carter Co., OK. J.D. married and eventually moved to Okmulgee Co., OK. He was the 3rd white settler in the county, according to the book "History Of Okmulgee County Oklahoma," and in the year 1897 John D., his brother Levi and friend Bob Hulsey pitched in together, and with materials hauled in wagons from Muskogee, built the first white church in Okmulgee County, located near Natura and Bald Hill. He stood over 6 feet 4 inches tall, was of medium build, with dark brown wavy hair in the early years, light blue/gray eyes and in his forties sported a handlebar mustache. As far as his character, though adored by his daughters, he also possessed a dark and brooding side, for some viewed him as a stern, close-mouthed hard man with little humor, difficult to get close to. A grandson Wilson once commented, "Grandpa Pickering rode a big white stallion.......they were much alike." A man of many hats J.D. worked at the first meat market and harness shops in Okmulgee, OK. in 1893, and for awhile, taught handwriting to school children. The stuff of which books and movies are made, he was a U.S. Deputy Marshall for awhile and served under Isaac Parker out of Ft Smith AR. He never wore a gun while performing his duties, but did sport a black suit, crisp white shirt, complete with badge and white Stetson hat. One grandson commented, "When you're a small boy, looking up at someone like J.D., who was over six feet tall, was an ominous experience!" Audra Pickering, daughter of John D. was, according to her daughter Jean, a better hand with horses than most of the local cowboys. She would frequently go along with her dad in the buckboard to pick up prisoners. While being loaded into the wagon J.D. would say, "Now boys, you can either wear handcuffs or sit there and behave yourselves. It's your call!" He was also a member of the Anti-Horse Thief Association. John D. died July 7, 1931 and is buried in Midwest City, OK. He was....a true "man of the west." ====================== New Okmulgee Co.

Ok Obituaries Post --- A new message, "A self-made doctor," was posted by Wendy on Mon, 27 Mar 2000 --- Surname: PICKERING --- NAME: Wendy EMAIL: wendy@youngminds.com DATE: Mar 27 2000 --- QRYTEXT: Martha Long-Isbell Pickering came to the Creek Indian Territory (Natura-Bald Hill) with her husband John Daily in circa 1893. After he died in 1931, Martha, called by the nickname "Mae," lived out the remaining years of her life with son Harve and his family in Drumright, Oklahoma. A short little lady, 4' 6" or so, and heavy set, probably weighing 250 pounds, she was full of spunk and feistiness, and with a quick wit could trade jab for jab with her ornery grandsons! She was a wonderful story-teller who enjoyed sharing memories of the early years.....like hiding horses in the woods during the Civil War for her father so that passing soldiers could not confiscate them. Said grandson Wilson Pickering, "Martha wore ankle length dresses and because of her weight, moved quite slowly. She sang and hummed to herself all day long, and knew the Bible from cover to cover. In fact she made up little phrases to help memorize different passages; such as "Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, saddle a mule and I'll ride on." She was a warm, pleasant person and much loved by everyone who knew her. Martha enjoyed the reputation of a self-made "Doctor," somewhat in the vein of Granny Clampett. During particular seasons of the year family members would take her out into the countryside where she would gather herbs and wild plants from the woods and fields. Coupled with a medical journal her folks had sent, and secrets she learned from the Indians, Martha would concoct her own potions to be used as medicines. Once she was known to have removed a skin cancer from the face of a gentleman who lived nearby. There were many such happenings, and her notoriety made her somewhat famous in the area. Martha loved to fish and after digging worms with the grandchildren and cutting willow poles, would walk the half-mile to a stock pond and catch perch and catfish for a later frying. One relative, Lois Pickering, daughter-in-law of Harve and Dollie, remembers her well. Said Lois, (1996) "Grandma Pickering was a really unique lady! I can still see her sitting in a rocker, piecing quilts, or holding her Bible in her lap. She could hold your attention completely by the way she'd relate the Bible stories and literally bring them to life. She had a terrific sense of humor and never complained about anything." Remembered with deep affection by those who knew and loved her, Martha Pickering died in the fall on Halloween, October 31, 1938, and was buried near her son Andy Isbell and husband J.D. in Mishak Cemetery, Midwest City, OK.

This came from another list and I thought it was interesting. Jack Childers in OKC THE SMOCK WEDDING “One of the more unusual customs that came to America was the SMOCK WEDDING. Under English common law if a widow remarried and brought any of her late husband’s property to the marriage, the new husband became liable for any and all the debts of the previous husband. Women owned nothing in their own right, and this included their clothing. So it became the custom for indebted widows to get married in their underwear, or smocks.” “The SMOCK WEDDING was tripple-fold. It was a bankruptcy proceeding; it was a marriage ceremony; it was an investiture because the bride then got a new wardrobe from her new husband”. “In theory the ceremony was held for all to see, on a public highway. But in practice many smock weddings were indoors.” “When Major Moses JOY married Widow Hannah WARD of Newfame, Vermont, in 1789, she was stark naked. She was in a closet, her hand extended through a hole cut in the door. Then she put on a fine set of clothes and emerged from her closet in style, to the general admiration of the assembled” Source: Ancestors and Descendants of LEWIS ROSS FREEMAN with related families By Patty Barthell Myers Penobscot Press 1995.

Hi, Ona, This is my husband's family, and so I'm not as up on them as my own. I went back and checked the info I got from the Buchanan funeral home in Okmulgee for Jessie Williams (who is buried in the Okmulgee Cemetery). This is what they sent me: Jessie Stanley Date of Death: October 29, 1971 Place of Death: Saint Francis Hospital, Tulsa, OK Date of Birth: August 28, 1889 82 Years 2 Months 1 Day Place of Birth: Johnson County, AR Father: Henry Williams Mother: Darthula Kirby Preceded in death by Husband in 1942 (does not give name of husband) Survivors: Sons: Chester Stanley, Long Beach, CA Donald Stanley, Jasper, AL Vistel Stanley, Shawnee, OK Daughter: Mrs. Esther Lynn Goodell, Miraleste, CA Brothers: Hughe Williams, Birmingham Howard Williams, Muskogee, OK Fred Williams, Turlock, CA Sisters: Mrs. Ferrel Rogers, Edmond, OK Mrs. Ola Williams, Muskogee, OK Mrs. Alta Harris, Arvin, CA Mrs. Mildred Staggs, Fresno, CA I found one error on the above, which I corrected. There may be others I don't recognize. BTW we have a copy of a photograph of Jessie with her parents and siblings. Also one with Jessie and Arthur STANLEY in a horse and buggy in their courting days. Do you have a connection? Ginger Goodell >

Shannon, Try the link for the Henryetta Libary. Dewar is practically next to Henryetta, and the local newspaper had obits in 1914. I know because I have copies of some. So use this link (already given on the site) http://ocevnet.org/henlib/events.html and write your note to Ruby Wesson. It does cost $1 per photocopied page they send you. But they'll look in their obit index for no charge. Also, if Sarah was buried at West Lawn cemetery, Ruby will check their gravestone index. I don't know about the #5 mine, but I do know there was a #4 mine in Schulter a little later that decade. Schulter is north west of Dewar by a bit. Good luck! And let us know what you find. Ginger Goodell >

Thank so much Ginger for your help, Shannon

Ginger, Do you have an address for the Buchanan Funeral Home? If you do I sure would like to get it. Buchanan funeral home handled my gfathers funeral in 1947. Maybe I could get some info. on his side. Thanks Marsha

Hi, I just reread my post (#5 on issue 13, and see I made an error. So much for hasty proofreading. >STANLEY is my husband's mother's family. His grandmother Jessie STANLEY >and grandfather Arthur Owens STANLEY met in a cotton patch in McIntosh Co. >just after the turn of the century. She'd come there with her WILLIAMS >family from Arkansas. I should have said that "His grandmother Jessie WILLIAMS and grandfather Arthur Owen STANLEY..." On the SHULTER topic, has anyone heard of the STENHOUSE, AZZARO and BOOTS families there? I have some information on them. Also, SISMONDO in Henryetta. And last, Donna referred to the Henryetta Library site. The librarian there, Ruby Wesson, has given me a huge amount of help in the form of obituary lookups with copies from the local newspapers.
