George -- Thank you very much for responding to my letter!! It is nice to talk to somebody from that area! I only wish I had known about the Dobson Museum while I was in OK - nobody mentioned it - I was even at the Miami Library and they didn't mention it either. I found the Dobson Museum on the Internet - but it doesn't give a lot of info. We visited Picher, Miami, Cardin, and I think Commerce too and tried to find the ghost town of Hockerville! Thank you for looking up the names in the cemetaries in the area!! I have no idea if somebody changed the spelling of their name to Wyman or not (we've had every other spelling, but nobody here spells it Wyman - usually the name Wyman is German and we are Swedish) -- I only know that Carl Henry had his name spelled Wiman on a card that we have of his but his sister helped with the obituary and she most likely had them spell his name Weiman - because that is the way it showed up on the obituary. I would have no idea either if Henry's wife, Ruby (Henderson) Wiman, may have remarried after Henry's death at some point. I guess I could try to send in for a marriage certificate of hers and Henry's and guess at the approx. date. I have done that before and it works sometimes. I don't know where else to look for info on her. I have done a lot of genealogy in my time, but this man and his family, sure has given me the run around! ha! I'm determined to find something else on them! I found a Carl Wiman that was born in 1927 (but didn't say where) and died in 1979 in Lincoln, IL - this came from the SSDI records. I have sent in for the info only because the date this man was born seems to fit in at the right date. And, since it gave his SS # and the city and state where he died, I sent in for his death certificate. Maybe I will get lucky - maybe Carl Henry named his son after himself and this is our man -- I can only be so lucky! ha!! It's worth a shot! Otherwise, I would love to take another trip down to OK and take my time doing more research. I have already been to Sweden twice and found living relatives there, to my ancestors - but I think the US is harder to do research in! Again, thank you for helping where you can. If you can think of any other way or place that I can do a little more research from here, let me know. I don't know when I would have a chance to get back to OK.

I find nothing close in the G.A.R. Cemetery in Miami, Ok. Miami is south of Picher and Baxter Springs is North of Picher . Cardin is South West of Picher. If I can be of any Help further let me know. I was born in Whitebird Additon of Cardin, Oklahoma in 1938 lived there until I was in 7 th grade and moved to Commerce, Ok. which is So. of Cardin and No. of Miami. George E. Turner P.S. You can find the Dobson Museum on the Net. It is in Miami >>
