Obit on file at the Sayre Public Library. No Oklahoma death cert found using the shown name(s) and dates.

Note: Following Census records as claimed by others for the family. Seems to be a lot of odd and conflicting information in the records that are hard to explain if really for the same family as claimed which makes these records on the questionable side. However, census records often have conflicting info from one census to the next for records known to belong to the same family. Some of the issues appear with information about Nettie and may be related to an extremely young age Nettie when first married as claimed in the 1930 census when they no longer cared what others thought. It does not resolve why 3 different states have been listed as her birth state.
