Thanks for the suggestion. I wish that I could find them in 1900. I've tried the census ideas. I can't locate record of them in 1900, but I can in 1910. Of course, Alice was already dead in 1910, and her husband had remarried.

My grandma says that the last wife of Edward Keith HURD (my worm) Rosa (LEE) HURD lived down there in Bokachito til she died. Now how long she lived after Edward died, (Edward having fallen off the horse cart sometime between 1900 and 1904 and anywhere from COOKE County TX to Shawnee Oklahoma) AND whether Rosa remarried after the fateful event, I have NO idea. It is definitely a road trip, If only for a T-Shirt that says: I visited Bokachito, Oklahoma. Nalora

I am trying to locate the place of death for Alice Haynes Skeen. She died 18 December 1904, likely in the Choctaw Nation area. Any ideas? Darla

Many thanks to all who responded & will, to my question about consumption. Thank you for the extras too & the good wishes. I hope I can be of help to each of you in some way. Thanks again, Debra

Deb, "Consumption" is the advanced stage of wasted flesh of Tuberculosis." from the Book, "Lessons on Tuberculosis and Consumption for the Household" by Charles E. Atkinson, MD. 1922 pg. 19. An interesting garage sale find!

Tuberculosis was called consumption. Cindy

Nalora, I think the names of the early newspaper publishers were Elias Boudinot and ummmm can't remember the other name. I'll look it up and email you later. Cindy

I don't have the answer, but I'd be interested in hearing any theories. We have a Martha Lodeski Simmons, spelled differently but sounds much the same. I'd thought that she was a widow when she homesteaded, that Lodeski was her maiden name and Simmons the name of her first husband. Then I found out that her mother's name was Amanda Simmons. Talked with my mother about it and she thinks that Lodeski was a family name used as a middle name. If this line had Indian blood, we don't know about it. At any rate, the name Lodeski was certainly important to her, because she went by the nickname Dosky. Sharon McAllister 73372.1745@compuserve.com

Hope you can offer some suggestions. >Rose Adams in CA. I looked up in my cemetary book bibilo and there are quite a few listings for cemetary listings in there, some are even in the old "Relocated cemetaries". Pawnee was part of the Cherokee Outlet, by the way, the one the Newspaper I was reading today covers a lot of news in. It even listed some Indian Obituaries with their Indian names. I was quite impressed. There are no Lo-dusk-i in the DAWES rolls for Cherokee *all I have avail to me til I get my CD, but you have two things there in your bio that happened a lot with Indian names. 1. Some of the roll takers if they could not understand the name they would sound it out or they would give the indian a "Famous" person's name. George Washington Florence Nightengale, Thomas Jefferson, etc. Are you able to trace the Adams besides in MO? Does his family list as white? There is not a Benjamin Franklin or a Lodusky Adams on the final Dawes for Cherokee. In the Drennen Rolls 1852 the closet is : LUN SE TA KEE and one: LE DA. here is something neat. If you are Christian, you are familiar with the word: Adonai, right? In Hebrew it is HA-DAHN-EYE. It looks promising, however they are not on the Cherokee rolls that I can see. (might try another tribe, see what cha get) Nalora

Surely you mean Bokchito? East of Durant in Bryan County. Semi-sort-of-famous for being Dennis Rodman's home-away-from home. If you pass through a town you think is Easter, Oklahoma, it's Bokchito. Old "Colonel" Easter (I think he's dead now) owned EVERYTHING in town--feed store, restaurant, propane supply, with his name on nearly every building in town. My parents used to live there. Try to make it to a Bokchito "old-timer's" day parade if you can--riding lawnmowers, kids on their trikes, Colonel Easter's propane truck decorated up with crepe paper streamers--it's a real cultural experience, and well worth the trip.

Consumption I beleive was what we call Tuberculosis (TB) today. Doc Holliday had it. Bill Walsh

Below is the URL for a great site for getting definitions for the old disease you might encounter while researching your ancestors. http://www.netusa1.net/~hartmont/medicalterms.htm -- Sharon Burnett Crawford ICQ#18100823 OKbits: http://www.rootsweb.com/~okbits/ Hosting Counties Garvin: http://www.rootsweb.com/~okgarvin/garvin.htm Pittsburg: http://www.rootsweb.com/~okpittsb/pittsb.htm Researching Burnett, Wright, Underwood, Crawford and Gosser

to Debra A. Whitney re x: message 22 Good luck on your transcription!!! Consumption: is referred to in the olden days for Tuberculosis and it runs in a exceptionally rapid course. other definations include the obvious the act of consuming or being consumed; or the ingestions of excess protein which does not form part of the tissue but remains in the body as a reserve supply. these definitions are from Dorlands Medical Dictionary 26th edition I am also looking for information about Oklahomas "JITTNEY" service that ran from Tulsa to Claremore in the 1910-1940. does any one know where this information might be found?
