Emzy Orrie Mankins b.1883 TX, d.approx.1918 according to a Family Tree listed on Ancestry.
WWI Draft Card Registration is dated Sept.1918, he was age 34.
He was a rural mail carrier, Sayre, Beckham Co,. OK.
Wife was Alice E. (Lee) Mankins.
Alice is a widow in the 1930 Beckham Co census.
Death Index shows her death as 1968 in Inyo Co., CA.
Emzy & Alice had at least 2 children that I can find, how many others they may have had I don't know. Oma b.1907 and Monty b.1914 - both I believe probably in Sayre area but don't really know. My problem is that I can't find them in the 1900,1910,1920 census. If children were born there and Emzy was a mail carrier, they should be there, somewhere. Need to find wife Alice in 1920 to see if she was widowed then which would help prove the 1918 death date from posted online tree. If Emzy died 1918 was it War related or perhaps the flu epidemic of 1918? I have not located him in any cemetery in that area, as of yet.

Can anyone from this county help me with my search for this family in those missing years, and / or his death?

Alice is listed as a Widow on the 1920 census with her mother & father in Beckham Co. Emzy is buried in the Buffalo Cemetery in Beckham Co.
Linda

Yes . Also in 1930, still in OK and still listed as widowed. She wen to CA sometime after the census.

Let me rephrase my former statement ..... I replied to someone named "Linda" who emailed me from her personal address. It may, or may not, have been you. But I did reply to a Linda who emailed me about this. Was it you?
