I thought I could be helpful and use my TMG Geobase CD to lookup the counties of Nalora's list....GASP!!! I had sent in a request for her to try to find my ggfather William M. INGLIS and/or Missouri A. (Ralson) INGLIS' death dates and/or burial dates and places in WOODLEY! I am sorry, and yes, I do know better or should.... Woodley is or was in Craig County, Oklahoma. Broken Bow--McCurtain County Checotah--McIntosh County Keota--Haskell County Klondike Cemetery--Garvin or Grant Counties Foss--Washita County Mountain Park--Kiowa County I do hope this helps...
