She named her children Florence, Virgie, Gertie, Patricia Della, Edward Curtis, and Chester Carl. Her middle name may have been Alice. I thought her sisters were Mattie A and Sally J who both married Holleys in Fannin. But I think Mattie and Sally are Keelins. Possibly part Cherokee or Choctaw?? She died in 1926 in Duke Oklahoma.
