Brittain/Stanford
I am a descendant of James Franklin Brittain (1844-1925). I am a great granddaughter of Jess Stanford. Jess’ mother, Bessie Brittain was the daughter of James Franklin Brittain. James Franklin Brittain is buried in Fairview Cemetery is Owasso, Oklahoma. He does not have a headstone to mark his grave. I am in the process of obtaining him a headstone through the Department of Veterans Affairs. The Daughters of Union Veterans of the Civil War (DUVCW) have been helping me on making this happen. The Department of Veteran Affairs are going to provide and deliver a Civil War headstone at no cost. Once his headstone is in place, the DUVCW, along with the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War will perform a ceremony at his gravesite! I am posting to allow any descendents of James Franklin Brittain to have a part in honoring him. The cost to have his headstone placed is $165.00. If you are interested in donating or attending the ceremony, contact me for more details!
