Hi, Tom
My records show your dad, Archie Thomas Yeley was born 10/19/1898. He married your mom, Bertha Owens on 12/12/1918 in Speer, OK. He died on 10/19/1935. I show Archie & Bertha's children were Delbert, Franklin, Lewis, Donald, Tom A., Joyce, and Billie Jean.

My records show Archie Thomas's father was Thomas Archie Yeley - born 9/18/1858 in Springfield, MO, married 12/8/1879 in Warrenton, MO (per marriage cert), died 1/21/1910 in Boswell, OK. Per my conversation with your brother, Don, when we visited about 10 years ago, Thomas Archie was knocked in the head by a man who worked for him. They argued over a load of railroad ties. Another source indicated Thomas Archie was shot on his own front porch by a man whose surname was Brooks.

Archie Thomas's mother was Mary Lucy (Humphrey) Yeley. Mary Lucy was born 8/8/1862 in Warrenton, MO. Mary Lucy and Thomas Archie married 12/8/1879. Mary Lucy died 7/19/1951 in Hugo, OK.

Archie Thomas & Mary Lucy's children were: Charles Edgar, James L., Louis (or Lewis), Ellen May, Jack Sullivan, Hugo, John Aira (my grandfather), Maggie, Archie Thomas, and Bertha Irene.

While researching in Warrenton, MO, I was able to trace Mary Lucy's lineage back three more generations on her mother's side and just one generation on her father's side.

Hello,
I believe we have Laura D. Arnold/Hoffman as a common relative.
My grandfather was her youngest brother, Alexander Spencer Arnold.
I have been trying to learn more about their life in Japan as Laura was the only one of the siblings to be born in the USA. Sophie, Charles, and Alexander were all born in Japan.
Please leave a message if you have/or want more information.
Thank you Mary Spencer Arnold Wells
