Obit Lookup Request   1007

Query posted by Fountaam on August 20, 2008 for , FUGATE, LAFFOON

Hi.

I'm hoping someone could find the obit of William Fugate who according to online trees died 6 Apr 1930 in , Craig, Oklahoma, USA. His first wife was Elizabeth Laffoon.

There are some conflicting trees, and so I'm hoping that if there is an obit that it could confirm or rule him out at the paper.
