Quincy L. and Lanie Cole Barnes
About 1898
Cowlington, Indian Territory
Later LeFlore Co, Oklahoma

A picture of my grandfather, Quincy Leonides Barnes, and his wife Lanie Cole Barnes made about 1898 in or near Cowlington, Oklahoma Territory.  His wife died when their baby (a girl) was born; his in-laws absconded with the child, and he never saw her again. My grandfather told my mother and her sister this story some 20 years later and gave my aunt this picture. 
 
I hope you can post it on your website.  Perhaps someone will recognize the picture of Lanie Cole and we can find our aunt's kin.
