Re: Eliza Scribner/Oklahoma

Hi William,

This was some good info.I have a few more tidbits that might interest you.Solomon and his daughter, Elizabeth, are buried in the Bridgeport, TX cemetery.Lucinda is buried in the Old Moss Township Cemetery near Ada, OK.William was my great-grandfather, my grandfather was his son John.William in buried in the Center, OK cemetery.My grandmother (John's wife) was named Katie Stick.She was a full-blood Chickasaw indian, as was her sister Lillie (Frank's wife).Lillie was only 19 and expecting when she was killed.Julia Starr Scribner (William's wife and the four son's mother) is also buried in Highland Cemetery, Stonewall, OK.A couple of years ago, my brother and I had Frank's grave marker repaired and re-set since it had been damaged.Dan's original family included another son, Lewis, in addition to Cecil.They lived together near Stonewall where I remember visiting them with my dad several times in the 50's.I have read all the Ada Evening News coverage of the trials, but lost track of them around 1911.By that time, my grandfather, John, had settled in as a local farmer and my dad was born in 1910.My grandfather, grandmother, father, and mother are all buried at Highland Cemetery.My grandfather and grandmother are next to Frank.I have often wondered how Dan and Andy got around their life sentences.One other small note.Dan and Johnson were in the Ada jail when the infamous lynching of the four murderers of Gus Bobbitt occurred.Everyone always wondered by the mob didn't just take Dan to the stable also.
