I did find one person named Mamie Childers, who died Jan 11, 1998 in Oklahoma City Oklahoma and apparently there is either an obit or just a death notice Jan 12, 1998 in the Daily Oklahoman.

Surnames: DAVIS Family in Coweta area around 1890
Submitted on 13Mar2009 by zogislost

My great grandfather Claude Augusta Davis was, according to his death certificate, born in Coweta, Oklahoma Feb 24th 1890. His parents were Jim Davis and Lee Lasha. From other sources I've gathered that Lee's mothers name was probably "Martha Omaha" and Martha was at least 1/2 Cherokee Indian. I am looking for anyone in the area who might be able to look at church or county records for more info on Claude and his parents. Claude also had a sister Rose who may or may not have also been born in Oklahoma but was raised by a different family in Arkansas so I'm guessing that Jim and Lee may have died by 1900 or had tough times and had to abandon Claude and Rose. any info would be appreciated.
