This morning at the OHS I worked in microfilm census on my family *ahem* and became frustrated. (So what else is new.) My Edward Keith HURD is a worm that won't be trod upon. I had a lookup for the intruder census, but left the note at home, so did not get to that. I just looked for the note and can't find it, (I usually print them off verbatim and then stick them in my notebook lookup file and it is not there and not in my mailer) so if whoever sent it can resend it to me, I would appreciate it. For Pamela POYFAIR: Miami is in Ottawa County, Oklahoma. There is a large Ottawa County History book at the OHS. I looked up the surname STITT in it and found nothing. I did find a nice map of the MIAMI Indian reservation, and surrounding area and copied it. There was an early Miami Newspaper according to the History of Ottawa county. There are many many books compiled by the Ottawa County Geneaological society at the OHS. I checked the Ottawa County Indian Cemetary listing for STITT, again...nothing. In my bibliography, there are 58 sources for cemetary listings for Ottawa County. Most of them are listed in a book called: Our People and Where they Rest. I did not check these today. I went down to the Indian Archives and there are several rolls of the Miami tribe and also a large collection of letters on Microfilm. I did not check these today, but they do cover your time period. There is a WPA project index in the Newspaper Archive room that is a good place to start on any Newpaper Archive work at the OHS and I will be checking this index when I next do Newspaper work. I have two Pott County phone books here at home, there are quite a few BOYDS listed in the area. For Sharon JUNG: Your lookup is a pretty easy one (I say that now) It is most likely just a simple Newspaper lookup. I did not get into Newspaper Archives today. I will be doing some tomorrow. For Donald LOCKE: (What fun...I love maps almost as much as I love old newspapers!) There are three small homebound books on Coal County. Two of them are Tax books. Map work: Coalgate city is in Murray Township, Coal County. It is the designated county seat of Coal county, (June 13, 1908) and was formerly called: Liddle. The name was changed to Coalgate Jan 23, 1890. Boone City is not in Boone township on a 1900 map. (since there is no Boone township in 1900) If you look at a 1900 Map of Coal county it is 1 N 9 E. Making it the extreme lower right corner quadrant of Jeffrey township, just across (W) from Murray. Boone Township had one large City called Lehigh. It was the county seat of Coal County til June 13 1908. The post office was established there April 4 1882. It is a featured town in "Ghost Towns of Oklahoma" by John W Morris, with photos and a street map. This book is still in print. For the TAX roll books I fount the following listings for LOCKE: Owners of Taxable Personal Property, Coalgate, Coal County, 1910: Lock, JM page 12, 15 Owners of Taxable Land Blocks in Coalgate, OK 1910: Lock, GM page 102 Lock, GW page 70 Lock, JM page 64 and 115 Personal Property Boone City, Boone Township 1910: Lock, Horace page 13 Locke, Henry page 13 Taxable lands in City of Lehigh, Boone Township, 1910: Locke, H page 50 The front of this index says that these books are housed with the Coal County Geneaolocal Society and gives the address for inquiries as: Coal County Historical and Geneaological Society, 9 South Broadway, Coalgate OK 74538. This is a 1982 listing, so I looked up the Coal County Geneaological Society in the Handybook and the following is listed as the address in 1993: Coal County Historical and Geneaological Society Box 322, Coalgate, OK 74538. I did not look to see if they are online. There are three sources for Cemetary lookups for Coal county at the OHS. The Book, by the way, that I would give my soul for is: Oklahoma Place Names by George H. Shirk, University of Oklahoma Press, 1965, reprint in 1974. There are three that I know of at the OHS library, one behind the desk, one in the stacks, and one downstairs in the Indian Archives. That was it for this morning's lookups. It was great fun! Nalora
