I am looking for an obituary and or a place of burial for Sherman Albert Huffman. He was born in IN 3 Jun 1887 and died in Claremore 8 Dec 1968. He was a School Teacher of some sort. He was married to Wife Bertie who was born 21 Dec 1895 and died in Claremore 1 Mar 1984. They had one son, Dean Albert Huffman born 12 Jul 1929 and died in Claremore 17 Oct 1993. I cannot find find records of burial on line in any of the Rogers County Cemeteries. If anyone can help or point me in a direction it would be much appreciated.
Thank You,
Don Huffman

Don, I knew Dean as an acquaintance because of work and I called a friend's father who lived across the street from the Huffman's, both the parents and Dean when he came back to Claremore. The friend said he thought Sherman and Bertie were from Cushing, Payne Co., OK and he believes they were buried there. So, you might check Payne County for any burials. I volunteer at the Will Rogers Library on Monday evenings, and I will see if I can find obits for them in the Claremore Progress films.

Sincerely, Louise

I really appreciate the effort. Since you did know Dean, What did he do for a living? would he also be buried in Cushing? Do you think there might be living relaatives? I have found nothing on these three except the social security zip code of the last benefit which is Claremore. I searched the Cemeteries on line in Payne County and found nothing.
Thank You so much for your response.

This Mr. Huffman sounds like a teacher I had at Sequoyah(5 miles North of Claremore) in 1947 my senior year. I have pleasant memories of him, he was nice person. I think that he taught & retired from Okla. Military Academy at Claremore, sometime he would wear his military uniform at Sequoyah. Shortly after finishing high school I went to work for Southwestern Bell, Mr. Huffman questioned me how his son might go to work for SWBTCO. The last time I remember seeing him when my son was born in 1954 he talked to me about buying an insurance policy for my son. My son had the colic and cryed all night, he seen how tired I was, he said I will talk to you about it when you get some sleep. I don't remember ever seeing him again. John P. Lock

John,
I really appreciate the information that you have provided. I am waiting for an obituary from his death in 1968 so that I may learn more about him and his family. He had a really tough life growing up and I am determined to find out how well he overcame those difficulties. If you remember or find out more information please let me know.

Thank You so much for helping me locate them. I see they were just entered on the tenth. I just looked a few days ago. Should have looked once more before posting.
