Ancestors and Descendents of.....
Luella was born 2/8/1897 in Benton County Arkansas
and died 5/11/1945 in a Kansas City Missouri Hospital
after an 80 day stay that we were told was cancer related;
some say she died from surgical mistakes made at a previous hospital.
She was married to Frank Delbert Cochran
Her parents were Benjamin Wallace Coonfield and Lattie Cedonia Little.
I never knew my grandma Luella but heard many wonderful stories about her. Dad talked of watching her sit in the fields for hours filling her apron with herbs, polk, whatever was good for the family. She was a strong, loving lady who came from a long line of pioneers and soldiers and worked hard to care for her loved ones and teach them honor and respect. Dad also said her long black hair reached the floor when she brushed it out. Luella was very spiritual and kept many handwritten notes in her Bible, which was handed down to her by her mother.
Possibly some of those notes were written by her parents.
Luella was one quarter Cherokee plus some Creek. It's been said that some of her Wright cousins were offered land allotments in the Oklahoma Indian Territory, but this author has not yet recovered any documentation of it.
Many of the surnames in this family are found on the Indian Rolls in Oklahoma, yet a direct connection to this line has not been found.
