I was sorry to read this notice in the Tulsa paper for October 13, 2013. A cousin, Doris (Weiser) Jarvis, genealogist and descendant of Hannah Leeper, has lost her husband, Ike. He apparently died in the small town of Cleveland, in nearby Pawnee County. Doris is active in the church and volunteers her time with the LDS genealogy library there.
Attached is a "snipping" of Ike's death notice, and I will look for an obit from the Creek and/or Pawnee County newspapers later this week. (Those papers are not "dailies.") Also attached from prior research is a brief mention of Ike and Doris' marriage from the El Paso Herald-Post newspaper published on December 19, 1947. They had 65 years together, amazing!
Doris Weiser's father was Urban--the 8th of nine children to A.W. and Sylvina Wiser. He was my grandpa's older brother. These two brothers joined the U.S. Army during World War I and served in Europe. But first, I want to attach Uncle Urban's obit as it shows Doris and surviving family. I apologize for the poor copy and my feeble attempt to make it readable. It was published in the El Paso Herald newspaper (El Paso, Texas) on October 3, 1966, Section “B.”
You will note it mentions that Urban was survived by two brothers and two sisters: “E.L” or Emuel Lem (we knew him as Uncle Amie) Wiser and Elton Wiser (then living in Sacramento, Calif.), Nina Bond of Sand Springs, Oklahoma and Nora Purdy of Norman, Oklahoma. Purdy? I was told “Priddy” was her 2nd husband’s name. Must research further!
