Calvin A. McCaskell AR> Tulsa County, OK 1863-?
I am trying to locate the burial place of my husbands great great grandfather, Calvin Alphus McCaskell. From various records, I know that he was born about January 1863 in Arkansas. He married Nancy Jane Aaron on August 11, 1886 in Mt. Ida, Montgomery County, Arkansas. I found him in the 1900 and 1910 censuses in Scott County, Arkansas. He then went to Fort Smith for a short time and in that period, lost his wife in the flu epidemic of 1918. After this time, I have found him in the Tulsa County, U.S. Censuses of 1920 and 1930. In the 1930 census, it says that he was a life insurance agent.
My dilemma is this... After 1930, there is no way to locate Calvin in the census. The general resources available for Oklahoma are scant even with memberships to genealogy databases like Ancestry.com. Since the children of Calvin McCaskell stayed in the Tulsa area,I feel like he must have died there. Does Tulsa have any death record databases available or even a comprehensive book/database of local burials? I have several mysteries surrounding the family that can only be solved with finding out when he died and obtaining a death record.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading my inquiry.
