Obituary look-up please THORNTON 1949 & 1951

Surnames: THORNTON WHITCOMB
I would appreciate it if someone would look up a couple obituaries for me.

1) Iva H. Thornton died on June 21, 1951 in Ponca City. I don't know what her last name was at the time of her death, but Thornton was her maiden name.

2) Jenetta 'Florence' (Whitcomb) Thornton died on April 1, 1949 in Blackwell. She was Iva's mother. Again, I don't know what her name was at the time of her death. I think it might be possible that she was divorced from her Thornton husband and then remarried.

I believe these 2 obituaries will answer some questions for me. Thank you in advance to anyone that might be able to help me.

Surnames: THORNTON BROXSON
I've found out that in 1945, Iva's last name was Broxson and her mother still had the Thornton surname. They were living in Ponca City. At least that is the information that I found in an obituary for Iva's sister Della. I'd really appreciate someone looking up these 2 obituaries for me.
