Note to Glenn Kennedy from: Noreena Blaswich
Your mom was cousin to mine, I think Hallie Beck Jones was a sister to my grandmother, Bessie Baker Beck. I have this information on my grandmother Mabel Gertrude Hicks, (she is listed at Ancesty.com, date of death is wrong)
My great aunt Ruby Hicks Huse, wrote this letter:
Mabel was known as "May". Mae was born May
11, 1891 and died in 1919. She died while her children were young. (my father was third
born) Aunt Ruby said she was told by her mother, Tennie Webb Hicks, that Mae was
buried at Sipio, Ok.
I recall your aunt Edith and I went to school together at Redden what
was called at the time the Indian Choctaw School Building. Carrie has a baby buried there
in the Indian Cemetery. Mae has two children buried there, J.C. and Irene
Hampton.
I was told Irene died first and a month later J.C. died of pneumonia fever. They
said sister Mae was expecting James (my father) when the children died. Mother told me
that Mae and a baby boy are buried at Sipio (Siplo), Okla. 1919.
If you could help me with an Obit. on Mabel (Mae) Hicks Hampton, I would
appreciate it.
I would like to obtain death certificate and need this information.
