I don't have access to Ancestry. I did check as far as I could and have date of death, supposed year marriage, children etc. for her two husbands. But as far as her parents go I find nothing in 1880 in the census. If you could get me the e-mail addresses of those few people who have her in their tree then I would be glad to write to them.

Pat, There was probably 4 or 5 digits depending upon how many phones were in use for that exchange. I can remember in the 50's when Tulsa went to 6 digit phone numbers.
