1910 Killing of James F. Childers

Kathy Zehr (Emaik: dzehr@sbcglobal.net) is searching for more information and stories of her ancestors, particularly her grandfather, James F. Childers, who was killed near Faulkner, Oklahoma, around April 1910. Does anyone out there have any information on this 1910 killing near Faulkner?

Kathy's comment on our OkieLegacy Ezine Feature #6200 -- "Dear NW Okie, I have read with great interest the letters you have found about persons in your past living in Northwest Oklahoma. I hope you get a lot of response. Wish I could help, but I also am seeking information about my ancestors who lived there.

"I am hoping that some of your older readers remember the killing of James F. Childers in front of the store in Faulkner in April 1910. He was my grandfather and I have a little information, but would like more. Even just stories or tales handed down in families. James wife was Florence and he had three children Annie, Hazel and Whit (Bud), who were in their teens.

"They had settled a homestead nearby as did the the killer and his famiily who were neighbors. I'd be glad to pay for any information and especially pictures of any of these pioneer grandparents. My father was Bud. He married Sylvia Maudie Stapleton in 1915, who also lived with her family Irwin and Elizabeth and her brothers, Alvin and Lester and sister Lollie Thornberry (Roy) in the community. Thanks to any and all who can contribute."   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
