    2. 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
