SAYLOR, MRS. BONNIE Date: 17 Dec 1999 Looking for any information whatsoever on MRS. BONNIE SAYLOR, my great-grandmother. She lived at 1108 S. Hichita in Wewoka, Seminole Co, OK throughout the mid-1900s. She had two boys, JAMES & ROBERT. James or Jimmie (my grandfather) was a popular wrestler in high school and married DOROTHY KATHRYN PRIESTLEY in the late 1920s. He was killed in a motorcycle accident shortly after my father was born in 1930. Robert became a pilot for American Airlines and married a woman named JOYCE. This branch of my family tree is barren, I need some help. I don't know Bonnie's maiden name or her husband's given name. I don't even know exactly when or where she died although I'm almost certain she was still living in Wewoka in 1970. She was in her 80s at that time and was almost completely deaf. I was told that Bonnie's father was a traveling preacher in Arkansas. She once took me where she grew up. I was too young though to remember where it was, although I do remember it being mountainous and within a day's drive of Wewoka. She showed me a river gorge over which she had to walk on a rope bridge to school everyday. Can anyone help me ... even just a little? I'm growing more & more desperate for leads. pamela pyle =================== Date: 12 Jun 2000 I've done additional research since my previous posting and now know a few more details about my great-grandparents from Wewoka, Seminole Co. OK. My great-grandmother was MRS. BONNIE MAY SAYLER (her maiden name is still unknown). She was born 5/18/1889 in Mena, Polk Co. AR and died 10/10/1978 in Wewoka, Seminole Co. OK. Her husband was RICHARD M. (Dick) SAYLER. He ran a number of meat markets in Wewoka and the surrounding area during the early 1930s. He died sometime in the 1950s. It is said that one of these individuals - either Bonnie or Dick - was a fifth generation descendent of Daniel Boone. Dick and Bonnie had two sons - James R. Sayler (my grandfather, killed in a motorcycle crash in August 1931) and Robert N. Sayler (WWII veteran and pilot for American Airlines, he died 10/9/1989). Bonnie and son Robert are buried side-by-side in Wewoka. Would love to hear from anyone with additional information about any of these individuals. Suggestions, potential leads, even wild ideas are welcome, too. Thanks! Pamela Pyle
