There is a Poteau Valley Genealogical Society in Poteau OK at the
Buckley Library. They have a lot of info in their little library.

Do you know where your Grandmother Lippy is buried? There are people
who have the cemetery books who may do lookups for you.

Congratulations! And good luck in the rest of your search!
