John W. Ponder, who died early Monday morning last, and was buried yesterday, was born in Dublin Ireland over eight years ago, and in the sixties he came to America - to Oklahoma in  1889 - and has lived and made his home with Mr. Klingaman for over two years during which time he has been a invalid.

Mr.. and Mrs. Klingaman of 414 Stiles avenue, wish to extend their thanks to their many friends and neighbors who so kindly assisted them in caring for and laying at rest the remains of John W. Ponder.

I believe in random acts of kindness and I believe in sharing genealogy. If you have copies of photos, obituaries, wills, biographies, or stories relating to any of these families or other Oklahoma County families, would you consider sending them my way for publication at this site?

I always welcome comments and corrections.
