Seek information on family of Grover Cleveland Myers, b. 12 July 1883 in Fredonia, KS, parents evidently from Jay Co., IN. He married Mary Monfort Parsons abt 1906 and they resided in Tulsa Co., OK. She was from Elk City and Caney, KS, then married Enos Parsons and resided at Midway P.O. in Washington Co., OK prior to his demise about 1902. Where did Grover marry Mary and when? KS or OK?

Also seek information on the spouse of Mary's sister, Mona Monfort, who evidently married a First Name Unknown Wilson by about 1895; their son, Harvey Lee Wilson, was born Nov. 1896 in OK. Nothing more is learned of Wilson other than that he was born in MO probably ca. 1870.

There are a number of spouses unidentified in the Monfort family. Mona and Mary's parents were Peter S. and Sarah Embry Monfort of Shelby Co., IN. They migrated to KS abt 1880.

See any info on Frances Monfort and Raphiel Branstetter who died 19 Sept. 1931 in Wichita, Sedgwick Co., KS, where she is buried with her spouse. This couple had no children. He may have had children with a previous spouse in IL. Frances was a nurse. They are buried in Maplelawn Cem., Wichita.

Seek information on the Masons Home for Children (poor farm) in Wichita, 1910 to 1920, where Mona (b. 1894), LeRoy (b. 1897) and Melvin (b. 1902) Parsons resided as children following apparent demise of their mother, Ruth Parsons.

Thank you for any assistance.
