Brinda, The only time I was in Antlers was in 1985, stopping there to visit one of my twin aunts, then we drove to McCurtain Co, where most of my relatives still live. So I don't have a clue as to what would be good pictures for genealogy. I don't anything about any old historical buildings, etc. I would love to see Sardis Lake, myself. But that wouldn't have to be on the page, unless other people searching for their relatives think it might help them get a feel for what it looks like in Push Co. Let me know what you think.

Ethel, That would be great. With all the response to this, I see I could possibly get a page started and up and running perhaps this week end. Rather excited about it.

Ethel, That would be wonderful. I just wish I lived closer or could make a trip through there. But a trip for genealogy will probably have to wait until next summer (2001). Please let me know when you are ready to send them in an attachment. Thank you so much.

Maxine, Those photos would make a wonderful photo page. If you can't get someone to help you scan them in, I will pay the postage for you to mail them to me, I'll scan them, and mail them right back to you. Let me know what happens.

Brinda and Jacque, a photo of the old train depot would be a good one. It's now the historical society, I believe. When we were there last summer there was a sign about "Antler Springs"? I think. Never got around to see it. Brinda do you know what it is?

Jacque, I found 10 photos. I'll send them one at a time though, when I send, so you won't get over loaded. Use what you like then just delete the rest. They will give you an idea of some of the country there. Actually it is a beautiful county. The Kiamichis are beautiful.

I live in Antlers. County seat of Push. County. What can I do to help you? Brinda Deaton Taylor

Jacque, I do not live in Push County. I have a picture of the first train depot in Antlers, A new one was built in its place, I don't know what year. I know that some of the pictures I have the historical society ask me for copies. I have to admit that I have not a clue how to scan and send a photo .I will try to get someone to help me if you want them. I have pictures of Hall Cemetary, as that is where my greatgrandparents and my grandparents are buried. I have some pictures of the Nelson Cemetary, as I have a grandmother that was buried there. I believe that most of the people buried in the Nelson Cemetary are all Choctaw Indians and their spouse's I may have others if I get to looking Maxine Nabors Huckins At 08:53 AM 2/13/00 -0800, you wrote: >Hi everyone, > >Is there anyone on this list who actually lives in Pushmataha County?

Hi everyone, Is there anyone on this list who actually lives in Pushmataha County? I thought I might like to make a page of photos from the area. I do not live in OK, so I wouldn't be able to get any photos. These photos could be of anything, from old buildings, libraries, historical markers/sites, etc. I have a scanner, but if you have one, you can email them to me in an attachment.

Jackie, I have a few photos I took last summer. Pictues of a couple of the old cemeteries, old buildings at towns not there now, and such.
