Residence:

As told by their granddaughter, Pat Simmons:
"Doc and Dosh moved from Missouri to a farm, located in Payne County, Oklahoma, which had been claimed on September 16, 1893, in the Oklahoma Land Run. Mr. William Burch, riding a mule, entered the race and staked claim to the farm two and one-half miles south of Glencoe. He first build a sod house, then a temporary frame one, and finally in about 1897, a more permanent one-story frame structure. In the early 1900's Mr. Burch sold the farm to Allen Bowen, who added a two-story addition. Then in 1912 Mr. Bowen traded the farm and house to A. W. Stokes for $500 and A. W.'s farm in Mt. View, Missouri. After the Stokes family moved to the farm, it became known as 'The Stokes Place.' "

19th anniversary celebration, Daily Mirror (Glencoe, Oklahoma)

"The Family celebrated the event With a Reunion
Forty-nine years ago, Rev. Thos. Boderjack, at his home five miles from Mountain View, Howell county, Missouri, spoke the necessary words that united in marriage A. W. Stokes and Miss Eudosia Walker. Last Thursday, July 30, 1925, the event was commemorated by a gathering of all the living members of the family, their wives and children at the home of the aged couple in Glencoe.
It was the first time for more than twenty-five years that all the sons had sat at the family table at the same time. It was the intention to celebrate the fiftieth aniversary but some one made a mistake and after all the plans were laid, the mistake was discovered but it was decided to go ahead and celebrate.
A. W. Stokes was born in Indiana November 1, 1854 and lived there and in Clay county, Missouri, untill 1875, when he moved to Howell county, Missouri, where he married, raised his family and continued to reside until 1912, when he traded farm with Allen Bowen and moved to the neighborhood of Glencoe. In 1918 he moved to town, where he has since resided.
Mr. Stokes is a living example of applied thrift. He was born with no silver spoon in his mouth, has been a farmer all his life and has always resided in a "poor man's country," yet he has accumulated enough that he and his wife can live in comfort the rest of their days without work, if they so desired but they are not satisfied to remain idle.
Mrs. Stokes is a native of Hickman county, Tennessee, having been born on December 15, 1854, and is the mother of 11 children, six of whom are living. She is a member of the Methodist church, while Mr. Stokes belongs to nothing except the horse club.
All the living children, their wives and the grandchildren were present at the reunion and are as follows:
Mr. and Mrs. P. H. Stokes, of Stillwater.
Mr. and Mrs. Walter Stokes, and four children, of Glencoe
Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Stokes and four children, of Apache, Oklahoma.
Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Stokes and four children, of Glencoe.
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Stokes and three children, of near Stillwater.
Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Stokes and five children, of near Glencoe.
The many friends of this estimable old couple will join the Mirror in wishing them many more happy anniversaries."

"Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Stokes of Glencoe, Oklahoma
are the same age (86), same weight (86), same height (60 in.)
and have been married 66 years."

Obituary:

Obituary, Eudocia J. "Docia" (Walker) Stokes, undated, unidentified clipping, possibly from the Glencoe, Oklahoma, newspaper.

"Died Tuesday night.
The body of Eudocia Josephine Stokes who died Tuesday night is to lie in state at the home of her son, Robert Wesley Stokes, near Glencoe. She came to Payne County with her husband, Albert, in 1903. "Dosh", born in Hickman County, Tennessee, was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Walker. She is survived by six sons: J. W. Stokes, W. E. Stokes and Robert W. Stokes of Glencoe, T. E. Stokes of Pawnee, Fred Stokes of El Monte, California and P. H. Stokes of Stillwater. She was preceded in death by five young children, Girtie, Luther, Sarah, Albert, and Ruby, who were all born and died in Howell County, Missouri.

Notes:

Married:

Doc Stokes' obituary (posted by Pat Stokes on his FindAGrave entry) states their marriage date as 30 July 1876. It was not recorded until 15 November 1876, so it is possible that T. C. Bolerjack, the J.P. who performed the marriage, may have made an error.

Possible Census:

[R. Walker seems to be a good candidate to be Helton Rutherford Walker, who was often called "Rutherford." In support of this possibility:

• Birthplace of Tennessee, is correct
  
• On the following page is George H. Walker, HR's uncle, just a year or so older than HR's father Elijah. It is likely that "R. Walker" and "Geo H. Walker" were quite close in proximity.
  
• Also on the page following "R. Walker" is "Jno M. Walker," a likely candidate to be HR's oldest brother "J. M. Walker." While the eldest brother is often named as "James Monroe Walker," the Bible data refers to him only as "J. M. Walker." Additionally, when this John M. Walker of Marshall County, Mississippi, is followed in census to his subsequent home in White County, Arkansas, his burial at Center Hill Baptist Cemetery, states his birth date as 18 September 1824--the exact date given for the birth of Elijah's eldest son "J. M. Walker."
  
• HR was not married in 1850 and may have been trying out the possibility of moving to Marshall County, near his family.
  
• HR is not found in his parents' household in Tennessee in this census, nor elsewhere in Humphreys or Dickson County
  
• HR was enumerated in the next (1860) census as "R. Walker."
  
• HR was commonly known later in life as "Rutherford Walker," lending further strength to the references to him as "R. Walker."
  
• In conflict with the above, "R. Rutherford" is enumerated as age 20, calculating to a birth year of 1830. However, in terms of census age errors, that is minimal, particularly considering that William Pace may have guessed at his age for the enumerator.

Obituary:

The Reverend H. R. Walker was born October 21, 1828; professed faith in Christ and joined the M. E. Church South in 1853. He was married to Elizabeth Thornton on January 26, 1854, and died at his home near Trask, Aug 29 1901 after an illness of ten months during which time his suffering was constant.
He was perfectly resigned to God's will. For forty years he had stood as a watch-man on the walls of Zion and in his last illness he said he had reviewed his ministerial life over and not one word would he change if he had it to preach over. He was faithful in all his official relations. The writer has known him as trustee, steward, and preacher. He was S. S. Supt. for many years. He performed the duties of each office with conscientious care.
In his family relations as a husband he was true and affectionate; as a father he was provident and kind. His pure Christian life, his noble character, his high sense of honor and his Godly council is a heritage greater and richer to his children than any amount of gold. The writer can remember forty years acquaintance with him and never knew him to step aside or do a willful wrong. The writer has known him when so afflicted with rheumatism that he could not stand alone, sit and preach lengthy sermons.
He was laid to rest in Chapple graveyard amidst weeping wife and children and sympathising friends, but his sainted spirit had taken its flight, swept through the gates of the New Jerusalem [illegible] triumphant. He leaves a faithful, loving wife, ten devoted children and a host of grand-children and friends to mourn his loss. But we mourn not as those who have no hope.

We shall sleep but not forever
There will be a glorious dawn;
We shall meet to part, no never
On the Resurrection morn.
- His Daughter
