William and Lena married in 1908 in Sapulpa, OK and she sent a letter to my grandmother, her sister, from Holly Creek, OK in Aug 1914 asking her to come and help that she and the kids are sick. She died thereafter. R D was 2. So where is the obit on William Riley? Ruth and Lucille are the same person. Her name was Lucille Ruth Lamberson. Gordon Elmo was Ellen's child, the new wife. They had 2 more after that, William L and Marie E. So may I ask are you affiliated with the history people in Lamar Co? Or are you just an advid geneology person. I know this can be quite addictive. I have worked on my grandfather's family (my father) for years and have found 97% of them since they never left Texas. Out of 13 kids only 1 I can not find anything. However I keep coming back to my grandmother, but just can't find her or Lena before they each marry in Sapulpa OK. Know they were born in Missouri, but can't even find their parents. On my grandmother's death certificate my grandfather put unknown for her parents. I was soooo mad!!! Thanks so much for your help, will look up the obit if I can find it.
