Hi Nalora-Noticed in your list of books Ok Cemeteries a listing. Since I have
never learned just where Sarah Ford Gross died it might be a little difficult.
Her husband Samuel Gross d 1894 is buried in Moore, Ok but the died elsewhere.
Thanks for any help. Ellen,

:I am Nalora Evelyn BURNS. Born Oct 19, 1956 in Shawnee, Oklahoma, Pottawatomie
:County. I live in Oklahoma City, and have lived here the greater portion of
:my
:life.
:
:I am unmarried, live with my elderly father, who has heart trouble, and
:have a
:sumo-chihuahua named Spike.
:
:I have a lot of Surnames, but the ones I am currently researching are: BRICKER
:and HURD.
:
:BRICKER migration: Germany 1740 > MD 1750 > PA 1820 > SC 1840 > GA 1850 >
:TX 1870 > OK 1890
:
:HURD migration: ? > OH 1790 > MO 1840 > OK 1860 > TX 1880 > OK 1890
:
:I also have one name: Margaret (Mary) Luticia Malvina FOXX. She is
:supposedly, by family history, a Full blood Sac and Fox indian. So far, she
:has no parents
:is born by one account in MO (family bible) and by another account in Texas
:(census source).
:
:The census source is her son, my great grandfather, who states his mother
:was born in Texas. The bible source is my great grandmother's bible. She is
:on no census that I have found so far.
:
:She is buried in Cooke County Texas, at the Hibbit Church cemetary. Her
:gravestone reads:
:
:Margaret L. wife of E K HURD July 9, 1859 - Apr 24 1888.
:
:I believe this may be the only place I will ever find her with her amer-indian
:name. My grandmother knew her Indian name but was not allowed to speak it
:because of Sac Fox tradition.
:
:I have many references here at home available for lookups, and would be
:glad to
:help.

:I think that is it....but I may be forgetting something. 8/
:
:I enjoy research very much, most especially old newspapers. I am currently
:working on making a web page (with a little help) so that Nalora's Nuggets
:can find a permanent home on the web, not subject to deletion at a whim.
:(and dats all I am gonna say about dat, folks)
:
:I am also thinking of perhaps doing a once a week HUMOROUS editorial which
:would be a look at the addiction of genealogy for this PLANNED web page.
:
:I think when we look at the problems of collecting our dead realtives in a
:humorous way, we learn a lot.
:
:nuff said.
:
:PS I ****LIKE**** helping new people, but PLEASE just admit you are NEW at
:this and I will be a kinder, gentler Nalora. 8) If you come to me saying
:you are an old hand and then act like an idiot, I will treat you like an
:idiot. If you are NEW, then you have the right to be an idiot and I will
:help you along gently til you are NOT an idiot, or at least only on my own
:level of idiocy. (We are all total dolts, actually, knowledge makes you
:stupid, since with every new question answered, ten new ones are created,
:so the amount you do not know grows exponentially til you are a complete
:blithering idiot when you die)
