New Queries for Garvin County

He died in the University Hospital in Oklahoma City on 3-13-1938. The Capitol Hill Funeral Home in Oklahoma City handled his funeral. My grandfather, Thomas J. Queen purchased five lots at the Mt. Olive cemetery, and to my knowledge, only two graves are occupied. One is my father, Clyde E. Queen, and the other is my grandfather, T. J. Queen. I remember attending my father's burial very clearly, and I remember the cemetery, but I cannot remember the location of their graves.

Trying to Locate: RANDOLPH SCHOOL
Submitted on 31Aug2011 by: Raymond Ivey
I am seeking information on Randolph School specifically the year of 1922. I am assuming this school was located in or near Paoli as it listed teachers with Paoli addresses. My mother went to school there in 1922. I have a picture with writing on back that says it was taken at Randolph School in the spring of 1922. Does anyone have any idea where I could look for more information. Also could you tell me where the school was located?

Surname: BISHOP
Submitted on 19Aug2011 by Gladys Was there ever a sexton or someone that kept records for Antioch Cemetery? My grandfather Hiram Bishop d 1923 and his father Richard/Dick Bishop d 1936 are both buried there but do have not headstones - I have added both< to the Antioch Cemetery site. They are buried in the "Bishop Family Plot" and most other graves have some sort of headstone. There is a headstone however that I found on find-a-grave that is of unknown dates and am wondering if there is anyway I can identify it. It could be Susan Ella Bishop wife of Richard who died 1934, but her death certificate only stated she was to be buried in Paul's Valley. Just before my grandmother died in 1995 - wife of Hiram Bishop, she started mentioning and making reference to baby "Helen or Ellen" that was buried in Antioch Cemetery. Our family has never heard of this baby, so it is possible she was still born. It is also possible this little angel is a twin to my mother. Any information would help.

Surnames: LILLY, PAUL
Submitted by Gretchen Lilly Muller on 21Jul2011

Smith Paul's second wife, Sarah Ann Lilly was my great aunt. She was born Aug 1861 in Missouri to a Benjamin Franklin Lilly and America Arnold. I found a marriage record for Smith Paul and Sarah Ann Lilley in the Bride's List for Marriages in the Chickasaw Nation. They were married by W. G. Davis, P. E in Pickens County the source is Pickens County Records. Sarah was only 13 at the time and I have been told there may be a permission to marry from her father included in the actual marriage records.

I have been trying to locate records of my great grandparents and my grandfather and two of his younger siblings that were all born in Oklahoma. My grandfather's death certificate says he was born in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma 26 Mar 1876. Lemuel Cornelius Lilly was born in 1878 and Nora May Lilly was born in 1883 I'm not sure where but in Oklahoma. The Lilly family moved on to Santa Barbara, California from Oklahoma.

Who would I contact to see if there is any written history on the Lilly family while they were in Oklahoma? I would appreciate any information that is out there.

I am looking for the date and location of a distant relative of mine. His name is John H Scott. He was born about 1852-3 and for the majority of his life lived in Illinois. He was a traveling Methodist Minister from 1880 - 1905-6 . They lived in Onagra, Ill.

In 1930 he was 77 years old and living with his Daughter Anne or Ann F. Rodke 31 and his son-in law David L. Rodke age 33 in Whitebead or Paoli OK.

Any help would be appreciated. On Ancestry.com there is no official evidence of his passing and the 1940 census will not be released until some time next year. And another living relative does not remember him in 1940 when she was 6

Surnames: HAMMOND, ALLEN
Submitted on 26Jan2011 by: Lucy Ogden

I am researching the Hammond Family, which was merged with the Allen family who lived at one time in Stratford Oklahoma. David E.

Allen, a resident of Stratford, I think, was descended from the marriage of Myrtle Ora Hammond and Wirt Allen several generations back. I am

writing you to see if perhaps you know Nadine Allen, the wife of David, and could forward her an email for me. I have run across her name a

time or two on the internet while researching the Hammonds and think she might have some info that would be helpful to me. I emailed an address

I found on your McGee Cemetery reference but it was returned to me. I thought perhaps Stratford is small enough that you would know her. Here

is the email I would like to get to her: Dear Nadine, I hope I have the right Nadine Allen. I saw this name on an online reference regarding the Hammond family and just now thought to search it in Stratford, Oklahoma, which is where one of my Hammond ancestor's descendants is listed as living. This gave me your email address. I am wondering if you are the person that can confirm that the wife of Alford Bracey Hammond (born about 1819 in Marion County, MS) was named Louisa Cagle. If so, do you have access to any further info on her? I have been looking long and hard for clues to trace her ancestry. It would be such a boost if you can confirm this. Please pardon me if I have addressed the wrong person and this does not make any sense to you. Also, fyi, where I first saw the reference was at this link: http://www.bellcountypubliclibraries.org/crm/hammons/benjamin.html. It was on the Alford Bracey link, but the link seems be not working at the moment. Thanks
