• Notes

  William moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma, ca 1906. His grandson, Tober, remembered seeing his "Grandpap" coming back to Stone county from Tulsa for a visit. He was driving his team and wagon, and Tobe ran down the road to meet him. As boys will do, Tobe was jumping on and off the wagon; and when he tried to jump onto the break, his foot slipped and the wagon ran over him. As he told the story: "I had the lockjaw, and we went over to see Granny Gore, and we had to go through a lot of huckleberry bushes, and when we saw Granny, the first thing she said was 'The first thing I want to see is Granny Gore.' She made me a glass of huckleberry juice, and I took a sip of that - and I went to eating real quick." William B. is known to have worked in Tulsa, Oklahoma, for a brick company during the time bricks were being laid in the streets. He was a foreman for the company and in a position to hire as he wished. Many of the relatives knew where to go when they were looking for work. They are both buried in the Oaklawn Cemetery, Tulsa, Oklahoma. There were no stones erected as of this writing, but their loacation is Block 205, Section 11, N.W.2 and N.W.3. p. 556-557 Leonard E.
