His name was Earl Moore, and he was raised in the Heavener/Howe area. Lived there most of his life. I can't imagine him as such, but I hear he was quite the rounder when he was young. Rodeo, boxing, mining, a little of everything I guess, like folks had to be back then to survive.

I am trying to find information on a Mary Martin who was said to have been
placed in either the County Hospital or the Hospital for the Mentally Ill
between 1920-1935-8. Her husbnd was Tom Martin, who is supposed to be
buried in Sebastian County, Arkansas.
Thanks.

It is Hwy 112, it runs from Poteau (by the new SuperCenter) to the North, all
the way
to Pocola... 112 deadends into Hwy 271 South at Pocola... There were a number
of mines on both sides of the road... east of 112 is the Kully Chaha area, as
well as Bonanza, Hackett, Arkansas... west of 112 is the Williams area,
Panama, Bokoshe, Hogeye, Poker Ben... all were mining communities...

Robin,
I have a picture postcard circa Jan 1912 of the Witteville Coal Mine, Poteau
OK. I don't know where this mine was located in Poteau but it is a picture
of the entrance of the mine with about 50 men standing at the foot of the
tracks and at the entrance of the mine. If you would like a picture of the
mine, I will scan and send.

My Husband says would the mine your looking for perhaps have been the
Turnipseed mines located, generally speaking, it would have been in the
South area of poteau. They were pretty extensive, and probably later than
the Whittville mine.

Melodee, the marriage books that I have only go up to 1916.
However, there is a website at the Fort Smith, AR library that
you can look up marriages. Some of LeFlore County marriages are
there. Also try going to: http://www.rootsweb.com/~okpushma/ my
great grandparents and other relatives lived in LeFlore County
most of their lives, however when it was still Indian Terr. this
is where a lot of the marriages are. Paula

The Turnipseed mine was between Poteau and Wister, back up on the hill, very near
where the new Highway runs now, I think.

Does anyone know about a coal mine that was located in what is now Poteau. It was close to where the WalMart is now, but back towards the center of town? It wasn't a major mine, just a small one. I know there were small mines all over the place, and may have been more than one in that area. Thanks, Robin

Robin,
In the "Proud Heritage of LeFlore Co" by Henry Peck, there are 4 pages
written about the 1906 explosion of the Witteville No. 6 mine. There seem
to have been 6 "slopes" or mines operated in the mining center of Witteville
and No. 6 was located

Where you related to Hiram Brashears b. 1893 who married August 23, 1922 in Wister to
LaMara "Marzie" (Chronister)? I know nothing else about Hiram, except what I

Leflore County, Oklahoma:

BRESHEARS John C. 1928 1980 US Army WWII - **Son of Marzie and Hiram
BRESHEARS Marzie 01-30-1901 02-03-1991 **Wife of Hiram.
