Does anyone know of a Mohill cemetery in Vian? I'm looking for it's location since a family member was buried there in 1921.

On the 1910 census of Brent Twp., Sequoyah Co., OK census I found the following: Thomas Kilgore head age 25 M4 AR UN UN Lucy Kilgore wife age 24 0/0 AR UN UN Eva Harp boarder age 18 S AR UN IL Green B. McCullar boarder age 48 wd LA GA GA Bird McCullar B in L age 12 S OK LA UN Green B. McCullar was my great grandfather. Bird McCullar was Green's son. Green had a daughter that my grandmother always referred to as Lou. Lou first married Robert Shaddon but the marriage didn't last long. My grandmother knew that Lou remarried but did not remember to whom. Could Lou be this Lucy? I am in hopes that someone has a marriage record for this Thomas Kilgore and Lucy. If anyone has information on any of these family members, would appreciate your help. Thanks, Carla
