Perhaps a city directory might give an address for his residence. And if there is an old cemetery nearby--that too is an amazing find! These are the hidden treasures where old stories are buried.Angela Y.

It was located near Talihina. He was born in 1934 and moved to the home in about 1946. My father remembers there being a lot of old bricks on the property. As a kid, he rarely saw African-Americans in town, but he recalls once while riding his bike through the woods near the house that he came upon an African-American funeral ceremony at an old graveyard.Mrs. Cowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16808463502176243443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1692036423578234815.post-1295819335433654332012-07-22T23:36:40.234-07:002012-07-22T23:36:40.234-07:00very interesting. i'm glad i was able to catch...very interesting. i'm glad i was able to catch this post since i have not been on blogger in some time. i have family that lived in that area of Talihina.Naturally Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18125546114734272165noreply@blogger.com
