Seeking information on the parents, siblings and children of Frona Cooley who married J. Frank Wood ca 1908. Frona came with her parents in a covered wagon from Boone Co MO ca 1890's. Frank was the son of John B. and Emma Wood and migrated with his parents from Taney Co MO ca 1890's. John and Emma Wood owned an hotel. Frank Wood was a pharmacist. Any information appreciated.

Gary,
Thank you very much! I really appreciate this information!

There is a Frona Cooley listed on the honor roll with my grandmother Ruby (Barnes) Houston in the November 21, 1907 issue of the Owasso, Oklahoma Valley Echo as follows:

"Pupils in Mrs. N. D. Smith’s class at .the Owasso school were listed on the, honor roll if they averaged 85 percent in all studies. The. Echo includes the honor roll from the November examinations:

Callie Mitchell, Frona Cooley, Ruth Hagaman, Doddle Foster, Lulu Brown, Ruby Bares, James Roebuck, Gladys Hagaman, Beyer Smithers, Nellie Barnes, Carrie Petty,. Dorothy Swift, Oma Foster, Leo Roebuck, Hallie Pitman, Holly Anderson, Nora Scott, Gabe Ballard, Ora Hudsøn, Sarah Hudson.”

Could this be your Frona Cooley? My grandmother would have been about 12 in September 1907.

Not sure but I believe that De Witt C and Nancy J Cooley MAY have been the parents of your Frona Cooley and that her siblings may have been Charles W and Elais M Cooley. I base that on the the previous message I sent which showed that Frona Cooley was a shoolmate of my grandmother Ruby (Barnes) Houston and the fact that De Witt C Cooley lived in the same location and county as Ruby's father JOSEPH T. BARNES and Ruby's husband's father WARREN BEAUREGARD HOUSTON (my great-grandfather) in the 1910 census for 1910 Census, for Oklahoma, Tulsa County, Owasso Township.

I can only guess that Frona was not include in the attached census page because she was already married to Mr. Wood.
