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
