Hoffman July 1, 1998
I am searching for any record of or for any descendants of the Hoffman line of
which my father was a part. Specifically: John Thomas Hoffman and Belle (maiden
name Roach) Hoffman. His brother: Charles Linsley Hoffman, known to have been
married and who fathered at least one son whose first name is unknown. Their
sister: Margaret (Maggie) Hoffman McCall. Maggie remarried Eugene Arthur McCall
in 1916 in Perry, Oklahoma. Maggie's daughter: Faye (born Harris from Maggie's
first husband Samuel T. Harris) and Faye's second husband who was L.G.
Robertson. Prior to her marriage to L.G. in Tulsa in 1927, Faye often used
"Sanders" as her last name, although she had been divorced from
Charles Sanders in 1925. John, Charles and Maggie were born to Charles and S.J.
(Lou) (maiden name Doyle) Hoffman in Missouri or Kansas in the early 1880's.

In 1907 my grandfather was diagnosed with TB in Tulsa County (he lived in
Jenks). He was required to leave his wife and children and go SOMEWHERE. What
were his options as to where they would send him? Around 1972 they shut down the
Sanitariums. It was alleged to me by the Oklahoma Department of Health, that the
records from these facilities were sent back to the home county of the TB
victim. I have called the court house, but no one seems to know where these
records are held...IF they ARE held. My grandfather was an immigrant from
Alsace-Lorraine, supposedly. We know nothing more about him other than name and
birth-date. I was hoping the records from the sanitarium might give some clues.
ANY HELP OUT THERE? Does any one know how to find these records? He died in
1926, death certificate comfirms TB. THANK YOU

I am looking for stories about my grandfather, Arthur Claude ELLIS who was a
pharmicist in Tulsa until his death in 1939. His wife was Nelle BURGESS. They
had four daughters, Mary Virginia, Elizabeth Ruth, Nelle Burgess, and Rosemary.
He was interested in local politics and was "always down at the
courthouse." He lost his drugstore during the depression because he gave
away his supply of medications, rather than turn down someone in desperate need.
He died a year before I was born, so I know very little. If you can share
something about him, I would be very grateful.

Was there a Sacred Heart near Tulsa around 1899 ? My GGrandfather William W.

a Sacred Heart Mission from that area in that time period? Thank you for any
