Recent Progress...Another 5,488 Records!!

Over the month of March 2016 I have added another 5,488 records to my Pre-1920 Oklahoma Death Index. This includes:

• Daily Ardmoreite  17 Jan 1910-16 Feb 1910  (62 records)
• Daily Ardmoreite  30 Nov 1894-26 Aug 1895  (289 records)
• Cherokee Advocate (Tahlequah) 5 Jan 1883-21 Oct 1893  (363 records)
• Creek Equalization Records  Creek #8279-#9290  (2,451 records)
• Harvey Funeral Home (Ardmore)  21 Sept 1898-7 Nov 1904  (1,185 records)
• J. Wood Taliaferro Funeral Home (Ardmore) 31 May 1918-31 Dec 1919 (96 records)
• St. Clair Funeral Home (Lawton)  2 Aug 1916-26 Aug 1918  (617 records)
• South Cemetery (Ardmore) Sexton's Records  1900-1905  (410 records)
• Woodward Star  1 June 1894 & 29 Aug 1894-19 Sept 1896 (15 records)

My plans for the next several months are to focus on:

1. Daily Ardmoreite obits and Harvey Funeral Home records (Ardmore area deaths);
2. St. Clair County Funeral Home records, Ritter-Gray Funeral Home records and Highland Cemetery records (Lawton area deaths);
3. Creek Equalization Records (Creek Indians, but also quite a few Seminoles);
4. Cherokee Advocate obits (Tahlequah)

I am making a list of sources as they become available and/or as I "discover" them.

This brings the total to 530,439 death references!!
