Albert Linton Inquiry

I recently heard from one of my readers that is researching 1,234 Civil War soldiers of the 8th Iowa Cavalry. One of them was an 18 year old, Albert Linton who died December 17, 1935 and buried in the Alva Cemetery. Dale was wondering if any relatives were still around the Alva area so he might contact them for additional information and photos. I am CC: Dale Talkington a copy of this email. If you know of any Linton relatives that Dale could contact, would you please give them a copy of this email? Thanks for your help!

Dale says, "I am in the middle of researching material on all 1,234 Civil War soldiers of the 8th Iowa Cavalry.

One of them is 18-year old Albert Linton who was born on May 31, 1846 in Ohio and served in Company H. He died in Tulsa, Oklahoma on December 17, 1935 and is buried in the Alva (Oklahoma) Cemetery.

I would like to contact a relative who might have some additional information and maybe a photo of him. THANKS!"

Jim says, "I checked the cemetery records and find three Lintons buried there: Albert Linton (D: Dec 17, 1935); Izetta Walter Linton (D: March, 1921); and Sarah Linton (D: Oct. 5, 1927. I find no Lintons in the current Alva phone book. Maybe I can make a mention of it in my column and locate a relative."

If any LINTON relatives are still living in Oklahoma or around Northwest Oklahoma, you can contact Dale Talkington at EMAIL: daletalkington@gmail.com.
