This is what I know of my family, as of July 1, 2001:
John H. ARNOLD, born ca 1849 in NY, parents both from NY Married ______of IL
2 children: John E. born ca 1870 & Sis born ca 1872, both in TX.
Married Priss______born ca 1860, TX (parents both born in IL)
James Arnold born ca 1880, TX
Frank W. Arnold born ca 1884 to 1885, TX (different records show different dates)
Possible brother: Harry Arnold
John H. Arnold 61,widower, Frank W.24, Harry 22, Jack 19, Cletis 17, Ratt? 14, & Bessie 11 are all on the 1910 census for Canadian Township,OK. John E.Arnold, 40 is show as living 50 households away with his wife & 8 children.
In January of 1911, Frank W. ARNOLD (currently living in Trousdale, OK) married Eva H. JONES in Lexington, OK. We also find that Harry was married at about this same time, also in Cleveland County, and was still living there in 1920.
Information on Eva H. JONES:
Father: W.A. JONES born 1845, died 30 Jan 1905. Buried in the Willow View Cemetary near Lexington, OK
Mother: Clara or Sarah C. Jones no birth or death information available at this time. She re-married Ezekiel A. Peltier on 3 March 1908 in McClain County (adjoins Cleveland Co on the west, and the county seat-Purcell- is just across the Canadian River from Lexington. On the 1910 census she is listed as Clara PELTIER and states that she has borne 9 children with 9 living. There are 6 children living with her and E.A.Peltier:
J.Nelson JONES born ca 1894 MISSISSIPPI (died in an oil well fire in 1921 buried: Willow View Cemetary)
Eva H. JONES born ca 1896 MISSISSIPPI
Maudie JONES born a 1898 MISSISSIPPI
Leonard JONES born ca 1903 OKLAHOMA TERRITORY
Cora JONES born ca 1905 OKLAHOMA TERRITORY
And baby boy Lonnie PELTIER
In 1911 Ezekial PELTIER filed for divorce against Clara. The case was dismissed. Two years later, Clara filed. One of the divorce papers shows Mrs. Eva Arnold of Paoli, OK as a witness. Paoli is in Garvin County.
There is not a decree with the second filing, either, however, Ezekial married his brother’s widow sometime around 1920, so either that divorce was completed, or Clara died.
Frank & Eva ARNOLD gave birth to a son, Thomas Edward, on February 28, 1912 in Lexington, OKLAHOMA. They had 2 other children that I know about: Frank Jr & Gus.
Somewhere around 1930 Thomas Edward ARNOLD married Ruby Alice KELLER. I do not have information on Ruby or her family at this time. I have sent for her death certificate from Tacoma,WA so that I can start this search.
Thomas & Ruby had three sons:
Robert L. Arnold born 13 May 1932, OK City
Donald Edward Arnold born 12 February 1934, OK City,
Gary K. Arnold born 16 August 1939 Oklahoma City, OK died 5 July 1988 Tacoma, WA
Donald Edward ARNOLD married Marjorie Jean WYMORE in Tacoma, WA on 28 Dec 1953. Don & Marj had one daughter. Marian Joy Arnold born 15 May 1956 in Seattle, WA. They divorced a few months after Marian’s birth.
This is all of the information that I have on my father’s family. I will add to it as I learn more, especially the non-existant KELLER info. I am currently working with the Cleveland County Genealogical Society (Oklahoma), and they have done wonders finding information for me!
If any of this sounds familiar to anyone out there, please contact me. My e-mail address is: mjarnold515@qwest.net
Thank you,
Marian Joy Arnold
