Through a connection I made on ancestry.com, I was able to locate two O'Neals in the Tecumseh OK area. One was the the granddaughter (Rosemary) of William H. O'Neal to whom these letters were written, the other was the great-grandson (Jack) of William H. O'Neal. Through the helpfulness and graciousness of these family members, I was able to find and look at the originals of the letters and was able to fill in some of the areas where the copies were illegible. I also met with a granddaughter of Lucinda O'Neal McBride. It was truly a pleasure visiting with these rediscovered cousins.
I also went to Brown Cemetery outside Tecumseh where Thomas A. O'Neal was buried, as well as Lucinda O'Neal McBride and her husband Robert Hugh McBride. Jack's wife Gena was so helpful in locating these graves and providing information on other various family members who were also buried there.
One of the most exciting things was to actually get a picture of the mastodon bone. See it on the post "I am a going to be rich!"
