COSTEN 7/2/98
My Gr. Aunt Eudell COSTEN died June 12, 1998 in Snyder, OK. Can
anyone mail me a copy of her obituary and/or any news items
concerning the COSTEN family who were early settlers of Kiowa Co.,
arriving there in 1901 from Jack Co. TX. They were mostly bakers
and butchers in the town of Snyder, I believe. I will gladly pay
for copies and postage. Thanks in advance. Please contact Virginia Cottrell
ATTEBERRY, HAMILTON 7-28-98
I am searching for information on Elizabeth ATTEBERRY HAMILTON, b.
July 25, 1890 and d. 15 Mar. 1967 in Snyder. I believe she was
the daughter, of George Washington ATTEBERRY, my g-grandfather's
nephew. G. W. ATTEBERRY died in Whitewright, TX, so I am told, ca
1939. If anyone has any information and would be willing to
share, I would be most grateful. I have 1332 names in my
Atteberry database. Not many considering I have been doing
research for the past three years. I will be happy to share, only
for personal research, "not for profit." I do not
choose to share with "body snatchers" that are
researching for someone else that will be charged. Please contact

DYE, Edward 7-29-98
My great grandfather, Edward DYE, moved from Kansas to Lone Wolf,
Oklahoma in or about 1901. I assume he went there to find land. I
know that he died in 1905 and family story suggests he died in
Lone Wolf. I would like to confirm this and understand that there
are no death records in Oklahoma to send for. Is anyone out there
connected to cemeteries in the Lone Wolf area? would you be able
to check for an Edward DYE. His wife was Ida M. Dye and his
children were Roland and Leland DYE. The family came to
California after his death. I believe Ida remarried but don't
know to whom. It is possible she married someone in Kiowa area.Any
help and advice is greatly appreciated. Please contact Linda Knabke
