  	Fred's entry on the FindAGrave website cites an obituary apparently printed "back home' in Oklahoma. Newspaper and date of publication not stated: "Fred Stokes Dies In California Word was received by P. H. Stokes of Stillwater that his brother, Fred Stokes, a Payne County resident for many years, died on Saturday, December 10, 1960, in El Monte, California. He was born in Howell County, Missouri, and married Ruth Fletcher of Glencoe. There are three children: Donald, Darlene, and Betty."

  Father	Albert Wesley "Doc" Stokes,   b. 1 Nov 1854, Indiana, USA ,   d. 7 Sep 1944, Glencoe, Payne County, Oklahoma  (Age 89 years)
  Mother	Eudocia Josephine "Docia" Walker,   b. 15 Dec 1854, Hickman County, Tennessee, USA ,   d. 4 Sep 1945, Glencoe, Payne County, Oklahoma, USA  (Age 90 years)
  Married	31 Aug 1876	Howell County, Missouri, USA   [1, 8, 9, 10]
  	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.
