Ok Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/Okmulgee?read=454 Surname: MORTIMER, MOUNT, HOFFMAN, SISMONDO, McLAUGHLIN ------------------------- Earnest, I've enjoyed your posts regarding the Henryetta area in Okmulgee Co. I know LEWIS is a common name. Do you know if by chance a Thomas Lewis aka Tommy Lewis was related to your grandfather, William? My grandmother, Christina MORTIMER, married Thomas Lewis in 1904, a few months after arriving in Henryetta as a widow with a 5 year old child, Catherine aka Katie. I found an obit for Tommy LEWIS in the Henryetta Free Lance in Nov. 1909. He was badly injured when his mule forced him between a coal car, if I recall correctly. The obit said he left a widow and children, but I've never known of any other children. I found his unmarked grave at West Lawn Cemetery a few weeks ago on a visit to OK. I'd be very interested if anyone knows any more about him or his famiy (his roots, etc). Thanks.
