Looking for information on Clarence Henry Veale. He moved from the midwest to Tulsa, OK in late 1890's or early 1900's. Was mayor of Tulsa during World War II. Died in 1948(?). Any information will be appreciated.

My given name is Mary Christine Veale. I grew up in Tulsa, born there in 1959. My grandfather's name is Martin Enoch Veale, Sr. He had a younger brother named Eugene that died several years ago, about 1991 I think. Anyway, I remeber seeing a photo (maybe a card of some sort) when I was a little girl and my grandfather telling me that it was a photo of ?"Uncle" Clarence who was mayor of Tulsa in the early 1900's. I haven't seen the photo in many years but might know someone to contact who might know something about it. My Grandfather is getting on up in years and his memory is unreliable sometimes at best. What else or whoelse Veales might you have some info on? I hope I can help you on some of the Tulsa Veale's. What started me was the Titanic hoopla last year and I saw a James Veale on the passenger list and I've been looking for info on him ever since. He did come from Cornwall England and was listed on 1900 Vermont Census (emigrated) born around 1871. Spelled Veale as Veal in England but census lists as Veale. Thought we've all got to be linked somehow. Sorry this is so long. Hope to hear from you soon.

Dear Kris,

Thank you so much for your two e-mails. I forwarded them on to my mother-in-law, Mary Sue Linde, who is the daughter of Clarence Veale. Below is her response. She would enjoy hearing from you. Her e-mail address is msuelinde@cs.com

Keep me posted as your research goes on, please. I will be glad to help in any way I can.

Happy Holidays,

Keith Pratt

My father's name was Clarence Henry Veale. Born August 4, 1888, in
Pierre, South Dakota, he was the youngest of twelve children. (one was
stillborn.) He and his brother, Enoch (Uncle Ene) and his sons were the only
ones who spelled their name Veale, where the others spelled it Veal. I have
the information on the family but it's too long to put here. Daddy died
February 12, 1948 here in Tulsa, and is buried in Memorial Park Cemetery at
51st and Memorial.
My mother's name was Ruth Inez (s?) Beebe Veale. Born September 27, 1892
in Modale, IA. I have her information, too.

Enoch & Betty Veale, sons Martin & Eugene; Thomas Veal of South Dakota is Enoch's brother

Dear Kris:
Thank you for being here. Martin and Eugene are brothers and sons of Enoch and Betty Veale. Clarence a brother to Enoch and is also a brother to my Grand Father Thomas B. Veal, who dropped the e. Thoms B. Veal came to South Dakota in 1883 with his parents and ten brothers and sisters by immigrant train.
They settled at Blunt, S. Dak. Thomas eventually moved on west and settled in Perkins County South Dakota where we as descendants still own the ranch. We are having a 100 year reunion of the Veal's next July 4, 2000. I am putting together a book on the genealogy of the Veals and have looked and looked for you folks. will send an email to Mary Sue Linde now too.

Firstly to Verla, great to hear of you and your info. I have a question for any of you...Does anyone know anything about LeRoy Veale in Tulsa? Or Heather Veale and her untimely death around 97-98? Can't seem to find out anything. I went to HS with Heather and since I don't live in Tulsa anymore, don't know what happened. Thank you for any help.

A quick follow-up to my previous message. Mary Sue Linde put us in touch with another daughter of LeRoy Veale and we spent a great couple of hours with her and her mother today.
It turns out that LeRoy was actually the nephew of Clarence and Ruth, but made his home with them for much of his early life, and legally changed his name to Veale shortly before his
first marriage in 1933 to Evelyn Lindsay. They divorced in 1935, and a year later he married my wife's mother. That union also ended in divorce and he married still a third time,
and had two more children by the third wife. Jane, Evelyn's daughter, is two years older than my wife Joanne, and until last week neither of them knew of the other's existence
although we've lived within 30 miles of each other for the past 35 to 40 years!

Thanks to all the Veale relatives who've welcomed us into the family, even though it's a somewhat remote connection (LeRoy was the son of Ruth Beebe Veale's sister Alice). Without the
help everyone gave us, we would never have made the connection!
