I've decided to submit this family on the October Roll Call.......it isn't actually my family, but the family of a dear friend of mine, whom I'm helping with his research. Sauney & Blanche Thurman COPELIN lived on a farm near Okmulgee in the 1930s and 40s. Blanche was the aunt of my friend, Jess Thurman, and he remembers visiting on their farm when he was a little boy. He's told me about Aunt Blanche's famous blueberry pie. As far as we know, Sauney & Blanche had no children. Blanche was born January 20, 1890 in Oklahoma (not sure where), to Edward Maynard & Emma Moss THURMAN. I don't have any of Sauney's dates. Blanche and Sauney married on Dec. 9, 1905 in Pontotoc County....the record states they were both from Maxwell. It is thought that Blanche's father, Edward Maynard THURMAN, lived with her and Sauney in his later years, and until his death...which was, we think, in 1949. We are still trying to find his death date and burial place, as well as that of his wife Emma Moss Thurman. Blanche died June 15, 1968, in Paul's Valley, Garvin County, Oklahoma. We don't know when or where Sauney died. Sure hope that this family might ring a bell with someone in the Okmulgee area. Myrna MyrnaS@aol.com
