I already had date of birth, and it matched up. No, I am not positive of the place of death for Homer. I know he lived in Tulsa at one time, in fact that is referenced in the above mentioned SSDI, but Ok. was listed as where the final payment was sent. I don't know the dates of his work history, I know he worked as a policeman, and at the Douglas Aircraft co. in Tulsa, because in my Grandmother's things, he sent her a poem on their stationary. Douglas Aircraft Company, Inc. Tulsa Plant, Cable Address "Douglasair" In reply refer to File Tulsa 2, Oklahoma That was the letter head. You asked how reliable my info was, not very. I have very little info on my Grandmother's brothers. I know their names, I have looked up their dates in SSDI, and that's about it. I know Homer was in the military, because he sent a postcard with his pic on it that said "Belong to the Engineer Company A. Tulsa Ok." I know he was a policeman because Grandma mentions it in one of her poems, and the letter head on the other poem he sent. She sent a poem in return, I have both if you are interested. I also have pics of Homer in a suit, and a pic of him as a small child. I also have a picture of Martha Salena (King) Cross and Lemuel Granville Cross, along with the first four of their children. (parents and sibs of Homer) And if you're descended from Homer, I have a postcard sent to my grandmother from her father, Lemuel, if you would be interested in having something hand written from him. And I have some info farther back than that. Please contact me if a! ny of these things sound interesting to you, and if you have any info on Homer that you would be willing to share, I would love to have. Thank You Jackie
