Faye was my aunt. I have a little information on Agle Gizzi:
He was born Sep 26, 1900, in Oklahoma. He and Faye married on Oct 26, 1919, in Hartshorne, Pittsburg Co., OK. He died on August 18, 1950, and is buried in Elmwood Cemetery in Hartshorne, Pittsburg Co., OK. I believe that he and Faye had four children, though: Eugene Gizzi (1920-1979), Wanona L. Gizzi (1922-1997), Marcella A. Gizzi, and Alice Faye Gizzi.

Thank you for that information. I grew up seeing my Great Grandmother Faye almost on a daily basis because she was very close to my dad (her grandson). I also knew about the cemetery because all of my dad's family are mostly buried there, including him. I appreciate the information you did have, although, I wanted to tell you Marcella wasn't Agle's child.

Are you a relation from the Keith side or by marriage with the Browns?

My mom, Donna Roberts, is Louise Keith Smith's daughter. Grandma Louise and Aunt Faye were sisters. I spent a week with Aunt Faye a couple of times during the summer in my early teens. She was a great lady. Thank you for the information about Marcella, too. I didn't know she wasn't a child of Agle's. Was she a niece of his? I have them in the 1930 census living together in Dow, OK. The entry includes Agle Gizzi, 30, Faye, 27, Eugene, 10, and Wynona, 8.

Oh, my, I love Donna! Her brother Jerry was like an uncle to me and when my dad and Jerry died in the same week, your mom was there for me. I'm still in touch with Christina and Lesa to this day.

Marcella wasn't a niece, she was actually Grandma Faye's daughter (from a different relationship) but wasn't raised as so. She was raised by our Aunt Doris who owned a store in Dow. We weren't aware of her true relation until about 10 years ago. Our family and their sense of pride... I wish it was different. Grandma Nona had two daughters through a previous marriage named Barbara and Edith and they didn't live with my grandmother either. My Uncle Ed still lives in Dow- right across the street from my Grandparents little house, that was handed down to my cousins who stripped the land of trees (making it look sad).

Such a small world! I was last in Oklahoma in 2007 and I have pictures of all of the graves of my family, including Louise, Jerry and the child's grave. I believe the name was Amy but it has been a while since I've looked at them.

Can you please GIVE Donna my love and ask your mom if she has any pictures of the Keith side of the family?? Unfortunately, my Uncle Ed is the only person from that side of the family that speaks to my sister and I. We have no other connections to the family other than Donna, Ed and Uncle Wayne. I've always been very fond of Lemuel Keith but never saw a clear picture of him. I'm not even sure why because in all the stories from Grandma Faye, she didn't talk much about them.

That makes sense. I had to delete my last post, because I was asking questions you had already answered. I forgot to refresh before I started typing. Anyway, I will say hi to Mom for you, and I have a picture of Lem Keith that I will send you, as well.

It took me longer than I thought it would to find it, but I have the picture ready now. I have a copy of his death certificate, his obituary, his headstone, and his social security card, too. I just don't know how to get them to you. I clicked on your username, but I don't have a paid ancestry subscription, so it won't let me contact you other than here. My email address is drob1787@gmail.com. If you'll send an email so I can get your address, I'll send the stuff right away.
