No, I am not directly related. I am a researcher fp\or the Tadlock family. I do, however explore the lines of adjacent families as they enter into the Tadlock lineage via marriage. |

Is this Paul Gentry? If you ever get back to the library, would you please be so kind to look up anything with Bear Timpson or Buzzards. I would appreciate it so much. I'm at a dead end until Barbara Benge gets done with the 1867 Census. I'm willing to do any look-ups in exchange. Thanks! |

RUTH WARREN BARTH obituary 737 |
Obituary posted by Jeane on September 07, 2005 for , BARTH, WARREN, TODD, RODRIGUEZ |
||
Ruth "Tootsie" Barth, beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, passed away in the early hours of Sunday, September 4, 2005. She was 91 years old. Tootsie was born December 31, 1913 in Todd, Craig County, Oklahoma, to Fred and Nelle (Todd) Warren. She was the youngest of four and the only daughter. Ruth was the granddaughter of Lee Todd, a pioneer who staked his claim in NE Oklahoma when the area was still Indian Territory. Her youth was spent on his farm. She graduated from Vinita High School in 1932. In 1944, at the age of 31, she was the only surviving member of her immediate family. She moved to Albuquerque in the mid 1940's after meeting her husband in Muskogee, OK. She will always be remembered for her talented handiwork, her love of cooking, her joy of gardening, and her love for her family and animals. Tootsie is survived by her beloved husband of 63 years, Solomon. From their marriage were born five children, Linda, Donna, Don and wife, Dotti, Jim and wife, Kat, and Chuck, all of Albuquerque. She was preceded in death by her daughter, Donna. She is also survived by her two grandchildren, Matt Barth and girlfriend, Krystle, and Cheri Rodriguez and husband, Dave and two great-grandchildren, T.J. and Brett Rodriguez. All of those living had been by her side during the last days of her life. Services will be held on Friday, September 9, 2005, at 10:00 a.m. at French Mortuary, Wyoming Blvd. Chapel. Interment will follow at Santa Fe National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Animal Humane Association of NM, 615 Virginia SE, 87108.

Hello, is this a 'public' website about VHS? Since quite a number of people have signed up at Classmates.com, as I have, there certainly seems to be interest in such a webpage. How can the general public find out about this and look at it? My husband, Newt Thompson, graduated from VHS in 1958 and myself in 1961. Thanks for making this info available. |

Shutting down of Old VHS 736L |
Query posted by Thompson, Eddene Hightower on September 10, 2005 |
||
Hello, I was in the graduating class of 1961... In my junior year we had a voting to see if we wanted to be the LAST graduating class of the old building or the FIRST in the new building across the tracks to the north of the old building. I have no idea how close the contest was--but much to my dismay, as well as many others I always assumed-- we were to go over to the new highschool. I was newly married, having married in April 1960, my junior year to a 1958-graduate-Newt Thompson, and I didn't pay attention or don't remember now if the school was used after 1960 or not. By the way, Newt and I are still married 45 years later. |

Hello, That is very possible that the school was used until 1970. I have no idea. I guess I will have to ask my two sisters who graduated after I did. We hadn't talked about it. Most of those of us who went to the old highschool 'loved' it, I think, and have happy memories of traipsing up and down the halls. I have not been in the school since 1960, but oftentimes I dream at night of being there, where the classrooms were, the teachers, the fun-times we had. When we started highschool there in 1956, the top floor was used only for a biology class and storage. It seems like I've heard that at least part of the building was condemned even back then. When we go back past the campus, it sure looks strange to not see the old familiar building. But, home is where the heart is.. |

Lee Todd 737A |

Hello, I am sorry to hear of the passing of your grandmother. My own passed in 1985, but I still terribly miss her. About your ancestor, Lee Todd== I have a Lee Todd in my family tree program database that was married to Eva Broaddus and they had two sons, Robert and Clarence. I have no dates on any of them and the research was not mine, but it does contain the ancestry of Eva, courtesy of Jan Oldham who shared the Oldham, etc., family tree years ago. The Oldham name is thought to be one of my allied lines. This Eva Broaddus was the daughter of Jeremiah Broaddus and his wife, Juliet Oldham. If this is your family, I would be glad to share the info with you via gedcom, etc. Just let me know. I was born and raised in Vinita, have done family research since 1972, have a very large database that includes many, many people of Craig county, northeast OK and elsewhere. I do not reserch for hire, do not publish my works, do not sell my works.. basically it is to find people and link them altogether. I love the detective work and the achievement of linking all families together. |

First Grade Class, 1948-1949, Riverside Elementary School, Vinita, OK 738 |

Hello, I just thought that I would share a photo of the First Grade Class of Riverside Elementary School of Vinita, OK for the year of 1948-1949. The teacher was Miss Ona Christian. Most all of these children remained in the Vinita school systerm. I am adding both the picture and the list of names as written on the back. I have two copies of the pictures. My mother, Eunice Sarah (Swift) Hightower was one of the home room mothers each year that me and my siblings went there and is still living just a block north of the school at age 87. Our family has many fond memories of the school, it's teachers and the kids who went there. If you want a jpeg file of the pictures just let me know and I can email them. |

Opening pictures of Riverside School 738B |
Query posted by Thompson, Eddene Hightower on September 11, 2005 |

Hello, When you read the letter that I wrote and to which I attached the pictures, at the bottom of the letter there should be the word ATTACHMENTS and below it two links in colors that describes what the picture is going to be. When I click on either of them, my Internet Explorer Browser automatically opens up the picture in a new window. If you don't see the two links on the same screen window as the letter then I don't know what could be wrong. Let me know if it doesn't work. I don't know what I can do, but I hope you can open them. |
