Duchess of Weaselskin

Did you wish your Mother a "Happy's Mother Day" this Sunday?

We heard that this Sunday the temperatures got up into the 106F range in Northwest Oklahoma, in Alva, Woods, Oklahoma! This can not be good for the crop and pasture lands. Are we heading into another drought (dust bow) era in parts of Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado, Kansas? To bad they can't pipe some of those flood waters of the Mississippi River to some of the Drought-stricken areas.

NW Okie's Ancestrial Lineage

In a past "OkieLegacy Ezine I mentioned that I am at a roadblock with my LUTTRELL / CRAIGHEAD ancestors that married into my MCGILL ancestors. I am presently doing research and searching books, memiors and family histories for the CRAIGHEAD (name also spelt CRAIGHEID, CRAGHEDE, CRAIGIE, CRAGGY, CREAGHEAD and CRAGHEAD) and the LUTTRELL's descendants to see if I can unblock these roadblocks. I did find where a possible Craighead connection married the sister of Benjamin Franklin. More about that next week.

Memories - Fairvalley, Freedom, OK

Did you notice the Facebook comment (Apr 27) on our OkieLegacy Ezine site, from an Anonymous user lately? We believe it was from a DEVINE, VINCENTS and HOYLES descendant, who gives his memories of Fairvalley, Oklahoma, "I have always been told that I was the last born resident of Fairvalley, OK. I was actually was born in Alva, while we resided in Fairvalley in Jan 1953. My father John Charles DEVINE worked for the railroad and we lived at Fairvalley in the bunkhouse. At some point we moved into Freedom. I know I was fairly young. I remember my Granddad Henry Devine who lived just south of the town of Fairvalley. Both my dad and granddad are buried in the Fairvalley cemetery. Other tree parts of our family are Vincents and Hoyles. My grandmother Nora Vincent is also buried at Fairvalley.
