You were so kind to send my sister an obituary on Mrs. J.M. Campbell (Ella Roark who married Jessie Muser Campbell). We found Jessie's obit and Death in Kern Co. California. Thanks so much for your help. I noticed that the Hardin's (Mack Elroy) came to Lefors at about the same time that my family did. They moved from OK to Lefors around 1925. They didn't take my Great Grandfather with them when they left OK, but since I can't find him anywhere in OK I suspect that he may have taken ill and come to stay with one of his children in Lefors. If you run across any William B. Campbells (Bill) from GA, via OK, born before 1870; please let me know. My sister Lori who lives in SC, said that when she was young she remembers going out toward Lefors in the middle of a field to visit a grave with her grandmother Edna Mae White Campbell. We wonder if Bill is buried out there, but I guess there aren't any records on the cemetery so no one can know right. Thanks so much for your time John. Sincerely Sheila Campbell Greenfield "John A.
