If you are in the Bartlesville area you can go to the library local history room & check their death index which will tell you which newspaper & the date it ran, then you can look up the paper on their microfilm reader. The librarians are very helpful. If you are in the Oklahoma City area, the historical society bldg-2nd floor newspaper archives can help, but I don't think they have an index. Since you have a date of death, it shouldn't be too difficult to check the Bartlesville paper for a date close to the one you have. I don't know if Ramona had a newspaper then, but they would know that at the library or the newspaper archives. Good Luck, Annette

I'm looking for the burial place of a great aunt of mine, Harriet Elizabeth (Burger) LUSK (11/6/1864 to 2/12/1907) and her husband Melville J. LUSK (1861 to 1910?). I'm looking for information on Melville J. LUSK and his wife Harriet Elizabeth (Burger) LUSK. Melville was born c. 1861 in Michigan, and married Harriet 9/2/1884 in Winfield, Cowley Co., KS Harriet was born 11/6/1864 in Fort Scott, Bourbon Co., KS and died 2/12/1907. Mellie was a Methodist Preacher and I have conflicting stories about their deaths. One has them both dying in a fire in their house up in Wellington, KS on 2/12/1907. The other says that she died in that fire in Wellington and that he perished in 1910 at his home in Copan, OK. I have no hard evidence either way, nor have I been able to locate their graves in either place - yet anyway. I'm going to be traveling to Oklahoma and Kansas over Thanksgiving and would like very much to find and record their gravesite(s). Any help with the lookup and location of the gravesite(s) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all, Keith Winkelman, IBSSG

MILLER APPLICATION # 1963 Fannie Cummings nee Tyner Sequoyah Co., Vian, Oklahoma FANNIE CUMMINGS OR CUMMINS & 4 children, Vian, Oklahoma. Admitted. Applicant's grandfather, Lewis Tyner, was enrolled in 1835 in Tennessee. It appears that about 1850 the family moved west, some of them residing in Mo., and some of them in Ark. For this reason they were not enrolled, either by Chapman in the East or by Drennen in the West. Several of the younger generation were enrolled as Cherokees and have received allotments, while others have not been so enrolled and allotted, but they are recognized as being of Cherokee Indian descent, and there is no reason why they should not have been allotted if they had made the same effort. The children of Fannie Cummins would be entitled as the descendents of Allen and Wallis Ratley, who are enrolled in Ill. #74. See testimony of Fannie Cummins, John W. Tyner and Martha Smith taken at Vian, Okla. Mar. 15, 1909. Misc. Test. P. 3958 and 3959 and 3657. Commissioner of Indian Affairs Washington, D.C.

Court of Claims * * * * * * * * * LETTER ATTACHED TO MILLER APPLICATION # 1964 Vian, Oklahoma June 30, 1908 Hon. Guion Miller Special Agent, Court of Claims Sir: Now at this late date in reply to notice of December 6, 1907, in application No. 1963- My oldest child is Maggie Brown nee Cummins, age 26, born October 1882. Evans Cummins, age 24, born September 1883. Francis Marion Cummins, age 20, born September 1887. Jesse Cummins, age 17, born January 1890. Rebecca Cummins, age 14, born March 26, 1893. Lewis Cummins, age 10, born 1898 Nancy Jane Cummins, deceased, born in 1880 and died at age of 8 months. My father was Lewis Tyner a half-breed Cherokee Indian and I am Eastern or Emigrant Cherokee Indian. He died in 1881 as near as I can recall, was born in Tennessee-as to his having ever being enrolled there or here I am unable to say-my mother was while- Lewis Tyner my father (town brother?) of Alluwee, Oklahoma. I can cite and refer to as the fact of my Indian blood and rights to share in the Emigrant fund now-applied for me, my husband, Robert Cummins was born in 1854 and to the best of my knowledge belief and understanding he drew-Cherokee money at each and every payment made since then. His father's name I have understood was John Cummins in English. Der-nah-ee or Ter-nah-ee or Tah-nah-ee or *(Spelled in Cherokee) in the Cherokee language. His mother's name I never learned-my husband was a Cherokee Indian never recognized as or enrolled or lived with any other tribe of Indians. My age is 49 born in 1859. I do claim share in the emigrant fund in my own right as descendant of an Eastern Cherokee Indian, as the Court of Claims has decided as I understand. My father had one brother named Hiram Tyner, another died about the year 1875-he has a son living named John Tyner, his post office is Campbell, Oklahoma, and he is much older than myself, and is a recognized Eastern or emigrant Cherokee Indian, he is an own cousin of mine. My father had another brother named Jack and one named Jesse. Robert Cummins' mother, I saw her only a short time, she died about 3 weeks after I married Robert. See my application in this case as made October 24, 1906, and therein find name of Nancy Roberson or Robertson, as to her name as enrolled at any time and in what may I am unable to say- History of Mr. Cummins, my husband's family or ancestors is to me an impossibility except as far as I have stated. Should said his case or that of my own need and require further investigation, I ask to be so advised. Respectfully, Fannie Cummins by John L. Springston In case further information as to history of Cummins family ancestry can be had same will be filed as soon as obtained. J. L. Springston, for applicant *Transcriber Notes Transcribed by Catherine Widener
