GROSS

Mary Peters [maryinballard@msn.com] June 2007

Hello Fellow Genealogists

I am looking for an obituary for James Lawson Gross who died 26 Aug 1915 perhaps in Blackwell, Kay Co., OK. In 1910 he was in Weston, Kay Co., OK. In 1900 he was in Blackwell. His wife was Louisa and his son was John Wesley Gross. They came from Indiana.

One of his cousins has a memorial card so we know the exact date of death, but we do not know where.

If you are able to find an obituary, please let me know how much I should send you for a copy.

If you looked in the newspapers for James Wesley Gross, that is all that I know to do for the person person sending the query.
I checked the only other source I had from Blackwell, the Fyffe Funeral Home records, but unfortunately, he was not in that record. I did check the cemetery book and did not locate his name there, nor was it in any other cemetery in the Weston TWP area. The family could have shipped the body back to his original home where the rest of the family was born, or they simply did not put up a grave stone.
I thought that there was still some family in Blackwell with that surname, but I checked the telephone book to no avail.
Sorry, Loyd

Need help -

Some years ago a Walter Naison Neville III from 115 N. Lake Street, Ponca City, Okla. 74601, submitted names, dates and relationships regarding my family, Givens, Given and Gavan into the Latter Day Saints (LDS). Our family immigrated into America in the mid 1700's into Southern Virginia. Mr. Neville enter Many records about our family to the LDS. Much time has been spent trying to confirm most of the entries to no available. Mr. Neville noted his source as, Soc. (Society) of Col. (Colonial) Clergy, King, pages 71, 72 and page 164, Is this a book that he found in your public library ? I have not been able to find a copy of this document. Does anyone know of this family or anything about this record source.

Any help would be most appreciated,

Sincerely,
Rusty Givens

Attached are the pages from the book of colonial clergy pedigrees. Remember that these genealogies contain no documentation and may not be correct. You should verify them as accurate before entering them in your family history. I do not know if you can obtain the papers submitted by individuals to this society as you can with the DAR. This society may have a website that could give you that information. [Pages are available on request]

I was in hope that maybe you could be of some help, I was looking for Marion Greer born June 12, 1888 in Iowa but died in Ponca City, Oklahoma September 1975. His date of birth matches what I have on him, if I'm correct is the son of my Great-grandfather's sister Mary L. Greer. Trying to find out any information I can, where he is buried and did he have a family, was he married, maybe there is an obit out there for him, that will tell me that information. I got his death date from the SSN site.
Thank you for your time in reading this email.
