We have had great success with cemetery listing for Stephens County in the genealogy library there in Duncan. They are open on the first Sat. of each month, and some days during the week. If you are unable to travel to Duncan, I believe they stated they would do research for a fee (I do not recall how much or anything like that). We had found which son of a relative is in an unmarked grave just by these listings. They also have some obits from the Duncan Banner from that period and you might could get your grandmothers.
