Some show him as Alvin Ross, with Roscoe simply being a nickname. Highland Cemetery records list him as Alvin Roscoe, so this is assumed to be correct.

Lawtonians Will Celebrate Golden Anniversary Today

Their childhood years were a coincidental series of almost-meeitngs, but Mr. and Mrs. Ross Hanks had to travel more than 800 miles before they met in Lawton and married --- and spent 50 years together.

Mrs. Hanks, the former Medreth Elberta Vaughan, was born March 5, 1895, in Poseyville, Ind. Just across the Wabash River at Concord, Ill., lived 3-year-old Alvin Ross Hanks.

The two grew up with mutual friends. Ross's grandfather and his oldest uncle lived in Medreth's home town, and Medreth's best girl friend, Nadine Brown, was Ross' cousin. The two families summonded the same doctor when someone was ill, and they visited the same places int he 35 miles between their two towns.

When Ross was 11, he moved to Arkansas with his parents, and when he was 14, the family came to Oklahoma.

Medreth lived in Poseyville until her mother died and she came to this area to make her home with an uncle, the late John L. Fairchild, in the Pecan community southwest of Lawton.

Here the two met and were married. And have lived ever since except for a year in Littlefield, Tex. They farmed west of town, wher Mr. Hanks was a volunteer fireman for a number of years and then joined the Lawton Fire Department as a regular fireman in April 1926. He retired as fire chief in April, 1946.

The couple has two sons and six daughters, all of whom will be in Lawton to host an open house in their parents honor from 2 to 5 p.m. in the parents home at 1108 Baldwin.

They are SM-Sgt Teddy W. Hanks, Wichita Falls, Tex; Mrs. George W. Linville, Chico, Calif; Mrs. Richard G. Leonard, Lolo, Mont., Mrs. Carroll L. Dyer, Orono, Maine; Mrs. Cliff Clark, Fairview; Mrs. Bill Hale, Elgin; Mrs. Cecil A. Lewis, 2703 N. 22nd, and Del D. Hanks of the home.

In addtion most of the couple's 32 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren will be present for the celebration.

To be truthful, the Hanks have been married two months longer than 50 years, but the celebration was postponed from April until today so that all the children could be together for the first time in 18 years.

Email from Ron Hanks (ronhanks@earthlink.net) on August 13, 2006:

"I have information on this family. This was John Stewart (or Steward) Hanks, son of James W Hanks and Marium Hughes. John S Hanks was born July 1865 in Indiana, probably Gibson County. I don't have a date of death for him. He married Annie B Brown, 8 Aug 1889 in Gibson County, Indiana. She was born July 1870. I do not have her date of death either."

Email from Ron Hanks (ronhanks@earthlink.net) on August 24, 2006:

Sorry for the delay, I have been finding more details on this family. Of the children of James Stewart Hanks, this has been probably the most challenging one to sort out. James W Hanks and Marium Hughes married 26 Mar 1854 in Richland County, Illinois. They are in Gibson Co., IN for the 1860 census with son William, age 4 and son Joel A. age 8/12. I have never found this family in the 1870 census. This created a big problem because James W died 10 Aug 1870 and Marium died 27 Feb 1872. The children were placed in different families and have been difficult to track. Probate and guardianship records helped to finally get all the children sorted out. Here is the list of children with notes about what I have been able to find:

4) John Stewart Hanks b.Jul 1865 d.????

Follow up email from Ron Hanks on September 4, 2006: Based on info sent by SueAnna, John S. Hanks died in Lamb County, Texas on 15 Nov 1940 and Annie died 15 Aug 1958 also in Lamb Co, Texas. Both buried in Littlefield Cemetery. Both of them show up in the Texas Death Index on Ancestry.com.

Notes:

Married:
John and Annie appears to have adopted or fostered other children throughout the years of their marriage. Family records show them as the parents of only five children born to them. Other children are listed on various census records as either "adopted son" or "daughter", when no indication exists that any of them were born to this couple.

In an email dated September 4, 2006, Ron Hanks states that: the "5 children / 3 living" would account for; living, Alvin Roscoe, James Arvil and Perry and dead; Wiley & Zola Faye. As for the other mystery children my best guess is that they are all adopted. We know that a 3 year old Phillip Hanks is listed as adopted in 1920. I had overlooked the 7 year old Rosalie Dagley in 1910. Between the fact that John & Annie married in 1889 and their oldest son was only 19, this could not be a grand-daughter (unless John had a daughter from a previous marriage, but I've seen nothing to indicate that. Even so, she is listed as a daughter, not grand daughter) I had always assumed that Dora Jones was a daughter based on the 1930 census (but had wondered where she was in the earlier census.) Dora, Rosalie and Phillip are not listed as children in SueAnna's info. That information stated 5 children, 2 that died young in IL which is consistant with the 1910 census data. The only thing that seems to make sense would be that they were all adopted children (perhaps orphans?). Considering John's father died when he was 5 and his mother died when he was 7 he may have been inclined to help orphaned children.

Elbert married Eliza Ellen Fairchild on 14 Sep 1893 in Posey County, Indiana. Eliza (daughter of Elam J. Fairchild and Martha Linxwiler) was born on 31 Jan 1851 in Evansville, Vanderburgh County, Indiana; died on 18 Oct 1910 in Poseyville, Posey County, Indiana. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Posted on a query list by Morna Leonard; medusa656@yahoo.com

KNOWLES--I am looking for the descendants of Franklin McCormic KNOWLES (born 20 April 1849, probably in Poseyville, Posey County, Indiana; died 18 February 1887 in Gibson County, Indiana) and Eliza Ellen (FAIRCHILD) KNOWLES VAUGHAN (born 31 January 1851 in Evansville, Vanderburgh County, Indiana; died 18 October 1910 in Poseyville, Posey County, Indiana). They married 14 April 1870 in Posey County and had 5 children: Elam Elmer Knowles (born about 1871 in Indiana), Gracey Knowles, Alvus O. Knowles, Orva V. Knowles,
and Martha Knowles. They were in the 1870 and 1880 censuses in Montgomery Township, Gibson County, Indiana.

After Franklin's death, Eliza remarried 14 September 1893 in Posey County to Elbert B. Vaughan (born 9 November 1855; died 6 December 1898) and had one child from that union, my great-grandmother, Medreth Elberta Vaughan (born 5 March 1895 in Poseyville, Posey County, Indiana; died 10 September 1987 in Lawton , Oklahoma). Eliza and daughter Medreth are in the 1900 census for Posey County in the household of Eliza's father, Elam Fairchild.

When Eliza died in 1910, Medreth (age 15) was orphaned, so she was sent to live with her uncle John Fairchild in Oklahoma. I'd be interested to know of any descendants of her half-siblings, as well as ancestors on the Knowles side (Ephraim's parents were supposedly born in Delaware), as I haven't any information on that branch. Thanks to all in advance for any and all help.

Notes:

Her marriage record shows her last name as SUMNER. Last name might instead be SUMMERS, based on the Texas Death record of her daughter Anna Belle. Daughter in law Medreth Vaughan Hanks shows the last name as SUMNERS, which appears to match the 1850 census, so this is assumed to be correct.
