Man! I can't believe I did that. I made the mistake of deleting the email from Tom that had the library name and address and the name of the book.

Billie,
I don't have access to the paper for the Obit but I do have a cemetery book
that says J.B. Gober 1902-1966 is buried in the Wister City Cemetery.

My Husband and I went to Poteau and got this book and as Mr Swafford said
it a must for people researching in LeFlore County. We gave less for this
book than any other we have bought and it has more History and Genealogy in
it than any other. I was expecting to pay much more for this book, and I am
more than happy with it. Thanks for telling us where to find it, I had been
told it was sold out and out of print.

I've been "lurking" while reading all of these great comments about the

I found a James E. RITTER, died May 26, 1887 (?), buried in Nubbin Ridge Cemetery.
The question mark indicates to me that the person that catalogued the cemetery was not sure about the death year.
Nubbin Ridge is 3-4 miles east of Bokoshe, OK and several miles NE of Monroe.

My mother was the one born in Poteau, I T, but we spent many summers

I hope this letter answers yours and everyone else's questions about the Leflore County book by Peck.
The book "The Proud Heritage of Leflore County: by Henry Peck should be a "must have" for anyone interested in Leflore County history.
I checked at the Poteau library and the cost is $ 21.69 if it is picked up in Poteau. The mailed cost is $ 24.19.
The book is written by Henry Peck, 1889-1963 and is a compilation of his and others rememberances of the early Leflore County area.
It includes stories a

It seems we are thinking of the same house -- and our connection to
memories of that house are similar. The reason I asked is that my
mother lived there, too, from August, 1922, until she married in March,
1927. During that time, Sherman and Delia Pemberton owned the house.
I believe they had lived in West Virginia prior to moving to Poteau
sometime between 1910 - 1918. The Pemberton's had the City Bakery which
was located on Dewey Avenue. My mother lived with them and worked in

The book is available through the Buckley Public Library. You will have to go through them at the address I posted earlier to get one. They said they have quite a few copies of the book available for sale.

Staying home on New Year's Eve? All those crazies on the road, ah, I remember when I was one of them.. memories. Well how about a New Year's Eve Oklahoma Chat?!?
This is for tonight (12/31), there will not be a Saturday night chat. Come ring in the New Year or go to bed early when you get tired of chatting, either way we would love to have you.
Get a Census Lookup, advice, help, discuss your New Year's Resolution (Like Lent, only it's for the year), etc. Just chatting is fine too.
Hi everyone,
I want to thank you all very much. I sent to this list as Rootsweb does
show a Rock Island in Leflore Co., OK. I was trying OK as I was thinking of
OK & KS. I am from PA myself and they have old photos, so I found KS is
included and have scanned the photo to the person in charge of the site to
see if I could post the picture there.
I have also posted a query on the McMann board to find out if anyone knows
of one being a photographer.
I really appreciate all of your comments. Betty in Hay
