Sometime after it passed 50 pages in length, I decided that was a BAD idea. I find it much easier to use now that I've split it up. The cemetery plot ownership info is in one list, the newspaper tidbits in another, and the memories in my FTM database. Sample question to Mother, regarding someone I can't place in the family: Why did you call him Uncle Dave? Answer. Uncle Albert [her granduncle, Albert COLE] married Ida ECKERand Ida's sister, Mattie ECKER, married David KING. I treat those memories as very important clues about the ties among the old families. There was a time when children did NOT call adults by their first names, yet "Mr." or "Mrs." wasn't considered appropriate within the family. In Luther, that means LOTS of honorary aunts, uncles, and grandparents. If you want to see my newspaper tidbits, they're accessible through either OKbits or the Oklahoma Co. page. But that's just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. If you want a lookup for someone who was in the Luther area in territorial days, please write to me.
