Some Obits from The Cherokee Messenger submitted by Mollie Stehno
Some Obits from The Tahlequah Telegram & Citizen submitted by Mollie Stehno

A special Thank you to all contributors to all county sites, the info is greatly appreciated

You will probably notice that most of the obits and files and records you see on these county pages are done by the volunteer archivists or the state volunteer archivists. This site is very lucky to have Kay Hubbard Thompson taking a big interest in sharing information.  It would be a much more valuable resource if you, the researchers, would be more helpful and share your files, also. Please send your obituaries to: Jeff Smith. If you don't have a scanner contact me for my "snail" mail address, I'll be very happy to scan them and add them for you.

If you are interested in volunteering for one of the
Oklahoma Gen web  Archives county page
click the link and pick an available county.

Thanks for stopping by!
