I know my mother Bonetta also went to school in El Centro - she was born in Oklahoma in 1936, and graduated high school here in Modesto, California in 1954. Austin married Flossie Couch and had 2 sons and 2 daughters, Howard, William, Bonetta and Lenora Jencks. All have now passed on - Howard has a son in Placerville, California - I am Bonetta's only child and I live in Ceres, California - and Lenora had 3 children, who all live in the Modesto, California area.

Author: WandaPurcell13 Surnames: Evans, Murphy Classification: obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.oklahoma.counties.rogermills/8971/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Died at her home in Cheyenne, Tuesday morning, February 16th, 1909. Mrs. Laura Virginia Evans, wife of Sheriff J.M. Evans, aged thirty-six years and twenty-four days. Laura Virginia Murphy was born in Clay County, Missouri, January 22, 1873 and was married to James M. Evans at Rush Springsz, I.T. September 12, 1889. Of this union six children, five gils and one boy, were born, all of whom survive her. All the love and care then an axious and devoted household and skilled physicians could devise and apply for her comfort and assistance were brought into play but the trial of him who rules our incomings and outgoings has been issued and after a brief struggle, despite the prayers and entreaties of all who knew and enjoyed her, their appeals were over ruled and the suffering spirit took its flight to that home and the Christian believes is the fulfilling of the life everylasting. None but those who have sat in the shadow of a great bereavement can justly weight such sorrow as this. Those who have gone down into the valley of suffering and stood for days by the side of a loved one, as hope after hope dropped away as the detals fall from the fading flower, know that such anguish cannot find solace in the kindestg words. She who has gone forth could not be supported on her solitary journey by any earthly friends. The husband, with a devotion few men are capable of whose devotion never faltered, could not detail her by the class of earthly love, but after the last word had been spoken, the last sign of recognition was gone, a look of peace settled on her face which proclaimed, victory and he knew that she was resting on a might arm. Life will never be quite the same to those who knew her, while those who were nearest to her with long for her with unutterable longings; long for a mother's counsel and advice and a wife's gentle and loving sympathy. Her life was gentle but like the still waters it was deep. In her heart or heartss in he carried those she loved, and her hand was never weary, her step never faltered in ministering unto, caring for, and waiting upon those who were in any way deperndent upon her. Much has been taken from the husband and sorrowing children, sweet ties have been severed, but well may they cheridsh her memory as a precious legacy and while we fain would say a word of comfort to the stricken ones, we can but let our tears flow in sympathy with theirs, and point them to the promise, "At eventide it shall be light. The funeral services were held at the Methodist church Wednesday afternoon, Elder Martin, of the Christian church, of which the deceased was as consistent and devout member, officiating, after which the remains were interred in the Cheyenne Cemetery.

George Sr. came to Oklahoma on a bicycle with only a Keen Kuter Shotgun to his name. Once he settled in Texmo, he sent for his wife and began working as a freighter hauling freight from near by Elk City to the surroounding areas. Pop developed a love for the land and the smell of freshly plowed ground at a young age., despite his parent's wishes that he go into teaching. Pop knew farming was his life's ambition. As a young man during the hard times of the 20's and 30's. Pop was able to make a living farming land that most others considered worthless. During the days of the depression and the dustbowl, times where hard, but Pop was succfessful due to his ability to work harder and longer than others. Farming first with a team of horses, then a 1938 Farm-All F-20, Pop was able to provide for his family. Pop was also well known for his ability to work with wood and fix anything. Many houses and barns in the Leedey area stand today as a lasting tribute to his craftsmanship and skills. He was able to purchase one farm by helping the owner rebuild the engine on a model T so the famer could take his family to California. The community of Texmo faded away into Oklahoma history and Pop raised his family near Leedey Oklahoma. He married Mildred Bray on April 10, `1936 and together hey raised 2 childdren. After retiring from faming, Pop moved to Tuttle, Oklahoma in 1994 to be close to the family he loved so dear. Evey year he fed his extended family and neighors from the garden he would meticulously plan and plant. Pop was preceded in death by; Sisters, Violet "Bil" McKay, Maun Alice "Slim" Cooley, Opal "Pete" Heriford; Bother, Glenn Heriford and son, Robert "Bob" Herifod.

Pop will be remembered most for his undying love for his family and for the land. With every season that passed, with every crop planted, gown, and harvested; whether it be the smell of freshly plowed dirt or the sight of combines rolling through the field; a newborn calf on the ground or another Oklahoma sunsest; Pop will be remembered by all those that knew and loved him as a great father, husband, farmer and friend.

It was common for her to work all day shucking corn and staying up late to get it all 'put up'.
