Dr. Terry R. Conley | I am trying to learn more about my great-grandfather Charles Conley and his sister, Mrs. Josie Laughbaum. Both came to the Fairview area and homesteaded land near Cedar Springs about 1898. Mrs. Laughbaum died in Fairview in 1918, and I have her obituary from the file at the library.

I was in Fairview recently and was unable to find any information about Charles Conley from the obituary file, and the microfiche for the 1935 newspaper appears to be incomplete.

Robert A. Henricksen | I am searching for information on my Great Grandfather. His name was JOSEPH E. ETHRIDGE ..Born May 3, 1873 in Monett, Missouri and he died in Okeene hospital on Oct 17, 1932. He is buried at a cemetery in Isabella, OK. (Major Co) right near your area. I need the address of Isabella Cemetery, so I can write to them for information. I also have many other relatives that are buried at Isabella cemetery, which includes Joseph E. Ethridge's father who was MARTIN VAN BUREN ETHRIDGE. The only other info I have about Joseph, was that he was accidently shot and killed by his 14 yr old son (Joe Jr.), and Joseph E. Ethridge died in a Okeene hospital. This information was apparently printed in the Fairview Republican newspaper. I am hoping to contact someone who can help me locate some of this information. It is quite possible that some of the related Ethridge members are buried in Okeene, but I would like to have the address of Isabella Cemetery or phone # for someone to talk with. I would appreciate any help that can be given. Thank you. Robert A. Henricksen 16511 - 193rd Ave. East Sumner, Wash. 98390 (360) 897-8839

Leona Headley | Anyone connected to Martin Van Buren ETHRIDGE/ETHERIDGE in Major Co. OK? He came into Major County by 1920 from Woods Co.Trying to find information on his parents Burrell and Anna (MABANE) ETHERIDGE/ETHRIDGE and on Martin's children.

Dee Raymond Can anyone tell me the location of a town in OK called Estelle in the year 1904? My great grandfather, William Perry Hobson died on 8 Feb. 1904. His obituary which appeared in the Pratt County Republican newspaper located in Pratt, KS says that he died in Estelle, OK apparently while visiting other relatives with the same last name of Hobson. I'm trying to find out more about his death and who he was visiting. Since his funeral was held in Pratt just 2 days later, Estelle must have been fairly close to Pratt. If that is the case, then Estelle must have been in either Woods, Major, Grant, or Alfalfa counties. However, Estelle no longer appears on current maps. There is an Estella that is in Craig County in eastern OK, but that would appear to have been too far away. Thanks,

Jackie Lamorie Hi, hope this is the right place. Am hunting for my Granddad. John H. Armstrong. He was born Jan 16, 1868 could be Arkansas or Fairview, Ok. which is Major County I believe. He did live in and owned property in Fairview, Ok. in the early 1900's. He married Fonda Bell Young in about 1903 give or take a year. We believe that to be in Fairview also. So far can find nothing. Was told he was a Marshall or Sheriff, this could be in Fairview also. Any and all help really really appreciated. Will hope to hear something. You can contact me at jackel@mail.gte.net. Thanks in advance. Jackie

SutherScot@aol.com I am trying to get some information on some of my relatives who moved from Johnson County, MO to Major and Garfield Counties. I have a Rudolph Medley who in the 1920 census lists him as living alone in Garfield County 66 years old. He was married to Elizabeth and had two children-Joseph and Myrtle. The was a Joseph Medley in Ringwood, Major County in the 1920 Census that was probably his son married to an Esther with two children Floyd and Bernice. Another family I have that moved to Garfield County (1920 census) was William B. Helterbrand. He was married to Ida M. and had 4 kids-Minnie (17), Sydma (16), Albert W. (13), and Mildred G. (9). I was wondering if you could find out when they died and if you could get me obituaries for them. The censuses does not list a city for them-just Garfield County. I would appreciate the help! Hopefully your county library has a obituary file where you could just pull them up! Let me know how much you charge. I live in Dayton, OH and can't get out that way too easy. If you need anything from out this way, let me know. Also I have information from Nemeha County, KS if you need anything!
