OLD WILSON SCHOOL
Submitted on 6Apr2015 by: John H
Lippard
I recently bought the land on CR 3475 where the old
Wilson school used to set. The building is gone, all except for its foundation.
Also the tornado shelter is still there. The roof of it has caved in, but it is
still there. I have looked and searched for any information about the school but
have hit road block after road block. Any information about the school (year
built, year disbanded, attendee, etc..) would be much appreciated.

mom, Lillian Russell, on 5/21/1919 either around Ada OK, as her delayed
birth certf states, or in Frederick, Tillman County. I have no true record
of my mom's birth, nor do we know who the father was. Mary Levena Russell,
was Dana's mom and her brothers were Frank, Cecil and Ratchford and a
sister, Susie Russell. Their father, James A Russell, died in 1902. Dana
later married Mark Dearman, born 1903,who raised my mother and is listed as
'father' on the delayed birth certificate. I'd like to find information on
my mother's birth and the name of my grandfather. I heard a last name of
"Meyers" as the possible father, and this took place either in Ada or in
Frederick in 1918-1919.

If someone never got a divorce because no money
and etc back about 1910, but married in a church, what kind of documents would
have been issued. I am looking for an Alice Bertie Ledbetter who married? a
Joseph Carrol Ballard between 1910-1916 in Pontotoc County. I am beginning to
think she never got a divorce from Leonard Dalco Pool because she always thought
he might come back for her, which he never did. Is there any kind of document
for a Common Law marriage?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. I can't find the church in Ada or any
other town in Pontotoc that married them?

“Betty” is shown on ancestry.com as b. 18 Jun 1856 d 16 Aug 1938 Midland, OK – I haven’t found where she is buried. I wonder if someone can look in the Rosedale cem book and see if there is a Walter Hue Roberts? Walter is shown on the SSDI b 11 May 1895 d Feb 1969 Ada OK. I think he is a son of GW Roberts & Betty Barrett. Maybe he is in Rosedale cemetery.
George Washington Roberts is a brother of my gg grandmother Naomy “Jane” (Roberts) Grider who married Thomas Grider. “Jane” & Thomas Grider are buried in Old Johnsonville Cem Byars, McClain Co OK.
One of George Washington Roberts daughters was Martha “Annie” Roberts. “Annie” married George Washington Maner. (Annie & G.W. Maner are buried in the Memorial Park Cem in Ada.) GW Maner is a bro of my gr grandfather Brinkley Maner who married Ellen (Grider) Maner. Ellen a dau of Jane & Thomas Grider. I think I found another poss son of George Washington Roberts.
