Gracie, I went back to the 1920 census and Velma is the correct name of your father's first wife. After I knew it was Velma on the 1930 census, I could tell it was Velma on the 1920 census. What was Kenneth's full name? There was a Kenneth L. Sellers that died 2000 in Blytheville, Arkansas Did O. D. live at Lake Havasu, Arizona, which is on the Arizona-California border very close to Needles, California? AR stands for Arkansas. I am sorry to hear about your nephew, Alexander, passing away.

I don't know about what Kenneth's middle name was. He lived in Muskogee. You are right about the correct spelling of Lake Havasu, Arizona. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Georgia Fletcher" <chick@blzwire.com> To: <SELLERS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, February 13, 2004 12:03 AM Subject: RE: [SELLERS] Alexander Sellers of Kay County, OK > Gracie, I went back to the 1920 census and Velma is the correct name of > your father's first wife.
