Hi Cooley list,
 I hope there is not a misunderstanding.
 I posed a question "Could this be"
I am looking for Lillian Cooley's parents she was married to Charles E Meek in Coalgate, Oklahoma

I know Lillian married Charles Meek,
 I know they lived in Coalgate and Heavener Oklahoma and am told Lillian was killed in an accident by her youngest living daughter that is trying to locate her "past"
 I know she had a half sister named Jessie Smith.
I do not know who Lillian's mom and dad are, I am looking for that info.

What I located was a Calvin Cooley that was in Hot Springs with a Catherine,
  and both girls were born in Arkansas
.and he must have died, I cant find him anywhere else I am thinking Calvin died,
 Catherine remarried a William Smith and had Jessie, then she died and both girls were farmed out to other relatives, Lillian Married and Jessie came to stay with her for a while.
 
Then I located your Calvin , because he popped up on ancestry,

 so I ask Could these two Calvin's be the same guy and could this Calvin have had a daughter named Lillian???

This I ask the Cooley list because I do not know???
I am asking does any one know if your Calvin Cooley had a daughter named Lillian and did he marry a Kate???
