Other Events:

• Census: Quanah Township, Comanche, Oklahoma

Notes:

While I was doing research for this book, I visited house by house asking questions and looking through photo albums. When I got to the photo albums belonging to Viola, I learned that she kept family record books and scrap books of every card or letter she had ever gotten. She even kept the little cards that came with flowers, boxed valentines cards she had gotten from children, newspaper articles about family, funeral cards and wedding invitations. What a wonderful things she kept. It was easy to see, how much she cared about her family, nieces, nephews and cousins.

• Census: Lawrence Township, Comanche County, Oklahoma
• Census: Quanah Township, Comanche, Oklahoma
• Occupation: Farmer
• Birth: 19 Jul 1885, Springfield, Greene County, Missouri
• Census: 04 Jun 1900, Morris Township, Texas County, Missouri
• Census: 30 Apr 1910, Lincoln Township, Comanche County, Oklahoma
• Residence: 12 Sep 1915, Lawton, Comanche County, Oklahoma
• Residence: Feb 1927, Hinton, Caddo County, Oklahoma

Notes:

1910 Census Record indicates U. A. "Liss" and Callie were living in Lincoln Township, Comanche, Oklahoma and had two children living with them, Walter "Buster" who was 4 and Albert "Buck" who was just 16 months. Callie stated that she had given birth to two children and both of them were living. The Census also shows that Liss was a blacksmith and operated his own shop.

1920 Census Record indicates Ulysses "Liss" and Callie were living in Lawrence Township, Comanche, Oklahoma and had 6 children living with them, Walter "Buster" 12, Albert "Buck" 10, Archie 8, Ethel 6, Ruby 4 and Alma who was just 3. The Census shows they rented their home and Liss was a farmer. Archie was mistakenly listed as a daughter on this Census. Maybe they had so many kids running around they confused the Census taker.

1930 Census Record indicates Ulysses "Liss" and Callie were living in (Hinton) Quanah Township, Comanche, Oklahoma and had all 11 children living with them. Ulysses was 45 years old, Callie 40, Walter "Buster" 24, Albert "Buck" 21, Archie 19, Ethel 16, Ruby 13, Alma 12, Ray 10, Joe "Pod" 8, Charlie Leon 5, Laura Viola 3 and William "Bill" was just 4 months old. The Census much more information: They were renting their home and lived on a farm. Liss and Buck were farmers and Buster was a truck driver. Archie, Ethel, Ruby, Alma, Ray and Pod were in school in 1929. Buck and Buster were married but there is no mention of their wives living in the home. Unlike the 1920 Census...Archie was listed as a son and not a daughter.

DAR file number 840385 indicates Ulysses birth place as Springfield, Greene County, Missouri not Bado, Texas County, Missouri. Need to order a copy of his birth certificate or look at Dad's to verify this.

Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory and quoted Chickasaw Nation Marriages 1895 - 1907, groom index, p 166. However I found the website for this at http://www.okgenweb.org/~okgarvin/kinard/chickhmarr.htm and copied the page.

DAR file number 840385 and death certificate show Callie's birth place as Addington, Oklahoma, however I had in my records Indian Territory, Addington, Oklahoma. Addington was not incorporated as a town until 1901, 11 years after her birth. I need to order a copy of her birth certificate to confirm this.

I also need to see if I can confirm the difference between the place of their marriage from my record of Mud Flat, Indian Territory, Oklahoma and the DAR record of Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory.
