I have lots of Conders in Oklahoma though, and at least one batch in California (LA County). Please feel free to email me, and I'll pass along whatever information you might feel helpful. Caddo, Custer, and Nowata counties seem to be the ones that are showing up most in my research in Oklahoma. I'm afraid I don't have this all formatted yet, since I am doing some continuing research for a friend and am working from handwritten notes at the moment. The Jackson I have is Joaquin who was married to Shirley Conder.

I had requested some information on family members buried at Rosedale. Came up with some names and approximate dates, which may help, on the three young Luster children who died in the typhoid epidemic: Myrtle, dob abt 1907, dod abt 1916 John David, dob abt 1911, dod abt 1916 Luther, dob abt. 1914, dod abt. 1916 and Arthur Luster, dob abt Feb. 1917

I have quite a few family members buried at Rosedale Cemetery, Ada, Pontotoc County, Oklahoma. The cemetery will not give out dates of birth and death, just burial dates. I need birth and death dates for the following individuals who are or who I believe are buried at Rosedale. Husband and wife: Aaron David Luster Sarah Jane Luster, I think she was born 10/23/1886 and died Jan. 1988 Their daughter: Pearl Walker. I think her dob is 6/2/1905 and dod Jan. 1952 Their son: Arthur Luster, died around 1968-1969, I think. Their three young Luster children who all died about 1916, I think, in a typhoid epidemic. J. D. Walker, husband of Pearl Husband and wife: Ozie E. Hensley Cordelia Hensley Husband and wife: John Stone Nora Stone Their children: Ronnie Paul Stone ? Louise Stone There may be two other infant deaths there. Ozie Bob Stone might be buried near them, not sure. He lived in Wewoka. Andrea Ramsay

Posted on: Pontotoc County Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/Pontotoc/753 Surname: Henry Augustus Hicks, Minnie Anna Jumper ------------------------- Marriage certificate for Henry Augustus Hicks and Minnie Anna Jumper married May 25, 1909. I am not sure where they were married, but it was possibly in Allen, Oklahoma, which is located in POTOTOC COUNTY, OKLAHOMA. I have tried Hughes County (thinking they were married in Gerty, Oklahoma) but they have no records. I am hoping to complete paperwork so that my sisters and I can be certified Daughters of the American Revolution. My grandparents were divorced in 1928 so information on their marriage is hard to find. Many thanks for any help you can give me. MaryAnn Robb VanVeen

Hi Also curious about the McGeehe family in Pontotoc Co. for 1910. Were they in MO for awhile during the Civil War? Have a ggg-mother, Susan McGehee/McGeehee, born in MO about 1850; most of her children were named for her husband's family members, but one surviving son was named Alexander and lived around Konawa between late 1890's to 1920's--some of her McGeehee family members were supposed to be in that area according to my g-uncle's story.
