EYSTER, James R. (1890's) Thomas, Custer County, Oklahoma
I am Delbert Eyster, presently living in Washington County, Maryland. I am
presently gathering information on my family in Custer County, Oklahoma. My
grandfather and his brother James R. Eyster and David R. Eyster traveled to
Indian Territory (Oklahoma) when the government opened western Oklahoma
Territory to settlement. They settled in or around Thomas. I would like to
swap anything you may have on families who settled in Oklahoma Territory in
the early 1890's. Although I am gathering information on the Eyster family
in this area, there are other family groupings that married into this group,
i.e. FRYMIRES, BOOKS, SWITZERS, ENGLE, and ALVIS. Thanks for sharing.

CONKLIN, Sarah Elizabeth Martin (1898) Weatherford, Custer County, OK
My Great-Grandmother, Sarah Elizabeth Martin CONKLIN, born 11 Sep 1960 in
Barry County, MO, died in Weatherford, Custer County, OK, 24 Jul 1898. Is
there someone in Weatherford who would be willing to look up her name in the
Cemetery listings? I do not know why she was buried there, as her immediate
family lived in Baylor County, TX. It is possible her parental family lived
in Weatherford, and that she might be buried in a family plot. If there is
anyone who can suggest some other way I can find a record of her death, I
will appreciate it very much. (I believe she had a brother named Harrison,
if that would help.) Thank you.
