I am researching my Oklahoma ancestors. They are Fredrick and Christina (Lehr) Kappel. They farmed in Custer Co., Oklahoma. Fredrick Kappel and his children were listed in the 1910 and 1920 US Census for Grant Co. Fred and Christina are buried at Prairie View Cemetery. I would like to have their obits if available. Please reply with costs.

his wife
Christina (Lehr) Kappel (born 13 Apr 1869, South Russia-died 2 May 1910, Grant, Custer Co., Oklahoma)
I think Fredrick second wife was Mary Kappel. Any reference or suggestions would be appreciated.

Submitted on 13Apr2011 at: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.oklahoma.counties.custer/1066/mb.ashx
I recently obtained an obituary for Alice Roberts from Thomas, Custer, OK. The obit says that Alice "was a member of the River Brethren church and had been in the mission work for twelve years." She was also a foster mother which might have been related to the church. The obit also says "Funeral services were held at Bethany church...by Rev. D. L. Doub." I would like to find more information about the River Brethren church. Is it the same as the Bethany church? What type of mission work was she involved in? Please reply if you know anything about this church or have any ideas to help me find out more.

Looking for an obituary and burial information for Alice Shields.  According to the SSDI, she died March 1979; last residence in Clinton, Custer County, Oklahoma. Her maiden name was Spaulding. Her husband was Carl A. Shields (b: 1878, d:?); they had at least three children.  Two of their children (Carl A. Shields, Jr., and Eola Belle Eslick) are buried in Clinton Cemetery, so I suspect that may be where Alice and her husband are buried, but I have not found them on any indexes.
