Frank Harvey Gilreath died Jan. 27, 2004, in Tulsa. He was 86 years young.
He was born Jan. 3, 1918 near Depew, the son of Thomas S. Gilreath and Cynthia Dickerson Gilreath.
He grew up in the Bristow area and returned here in the early 1970's.

Frank and Theda were married Feb. 7, 1946, and would have been married 58 years next week.
Frank was with the California Bureau of investigation and the Border Patrol in San Diego, and had been a long haul trucker.
He was a member of the Bristow VFW Post 3656 and the D.A.V. and he loved to hunt and fish. He raised Appaloosa horses and was a race car enthusiast. Frank was a stunt car driver and performed a stunt in the Humphrey Bogart movie, "They Drive By Night". He boxed professionally under the name "Kid Frank".

Graveside services are at 1:30 p.m. Jan. 30 (today) at Magnolia Memorial Gardens with the Rev. Gene Jackson, Pastor, First Free Will Baptist Church officiating. Services are under the direction of Schumacher Funeral Home of Bristow.
My grandfather was one of 12 children of Thomas and Cynthia (1 child was from a previous marriage of Thomas's). There is now only one child left living.
This has been updated since recieving more information from other relatives. I hope this will help others, and please feel free to give any information you may have.

The pension record lists William Elijah Gilreath (another son) as her attorney and one of the witnesses was Mary Gilreath, wife of William E.
It appears that the date listed for Thomas S. is different that the date he used on later records but the dates listed for the other two children agree with later records. In 1900, Sarah is listed on the census as the mother in law, living in the home of Josiah Smith. The following is a list of Josiah's family:

xii. ANNIE GILREATH, m. ROLLIE STAFFORD.
NOTES FOR ANNIE GILREATH:
Annie was the child from Thomas's first marriage to Mintie Anderson. From the Whitley county marriage files. There is also a copy of a handwritten note signed by Cam Anderson giving permission for his daugher Mintie to wed Thomas.
It has been speculated that there were 2 children from that marriage, but the 1910 census shows the following information:
The children from Thomas and Cynthia are: Annie (13), Minnie (6), Lucille (2) and Agnes (10/12)*I'm assuming months old*. They answered the census questions that Thomas has been married 2 times, Cynthia 1 times, they both answered 7 years for marriage length, Cynthia answered that she was the mother of 4 children total, 4 living. With this information, it would show Annie as the only child of Thomas's first marriage to Mintie Anderson**see note above**. I do know the marriage ended due to the death of Mintie. That is when Thomas came to Oklahoma, Wagoner co, and met and married Cynthia.

Martha Anderson Harrison of Pensacola, FL is the neice of Rhumintha J. 'Minty/Minnie/ Anderson. She has been trying for years to find descendants of Minty. Martha is the daughter of Jacob Coby Anderson, brother to Minty.
Martha had the following to say about Minty Anderson Gilreath. "Rhumintha Jane died from stress and complications brought on by three young children and the loss of two of them. Thomas took their daughter, Annie, when about 5 years old on a train to Oklahoma where a brother to Thomas was living. Thomas then married Cynthia Dickerson and they had 11 children.
Thomas Gilreath is listed in the 1910 census for Wagoner Co., OK married to Cynthia Dickerson and Annie is listed as age 13. Also listed is the 6 year old daughter of Cynthia." (Source: Martha Harrison, Pensacola, FL)
My mother's name is Rhoda Rhumintha Davis Hudson. Very few people have called her Rhoda. Most people know her as Minty, Minnie or Middie - all nicknames for Rhumintha. Mom always hated the name Rhumintha. :)

Generation No. 2
2. ANNIE L.6 GILREATH (THOMAS SYLVESTER5, WILLIAM WESLEY4, BENJAMIN J.3, JOHN2, WILLIAM1) was born 06 Apr 1897 in Whitley co, KY, and died 20 Jun 1976 in Shamrock, Creek co., OK. She married ROLLIE T. STAFFORD 08 Jan 1913 in Sapulpa, Creek co., OK. He was born 22 Jun 1886 in Kansas, and died 20 Feb 1972 in Shamrock, Creek co., OK.
Notes for ANNIE L. GILREATH:
Annie was the child from Thomas's first marriage to Mintie *seen as Drumille
J. on census* Anderson. From the Whitley county marriage files. There is also
a copy of a handwritten note signed by Cam Anderson giving permission for
his daugher Mintie to wed Thomas.
It has been speculated that there were 2 children from that marriage, but the 1910 census shows the following information:
The children from Thomas and Cynthia are: Annie (13), Minnie (6), Lucille (2) and Agnes (10/12)*I'm assuming months old*. They answered the census questions that Thomas has been married 2 times, Cynthia 1 times, they both answered 7 years for marriage length, Cynthia answered that she was the mother of 4 children total, 4 living. With this information, it would show Annie as the only child of Thomas's first marriage to Mintie Anderson**see note above**. I do know the marriage ended due to the death of Mintie. That is when Thomas came to Oklahoma, Wagoner co, and met and married Cynthia E. Dickerson.
Annie's Headstone lists her name as Anna Lee. Her and her husband are both buried in Shamrock cemetary, Shamrock, creek co., OK

Notes for OTTO "OTT" GILBERT SMITH:
was killed in a hunting *accident*, was ruled as such but, due to his history
of moonshining and other activities, some family believes it was not an accident.
Article is in the Hood River News, man who shot Ott was a man by the name
of Draper.
From the 24 Sep 1937 issue of the Hood River News Front page, right column continued on page 8.
HUNTER IS KILLED
ON GHOST RIDGE
-------------
Mistaken For Deer, By Companioon,
Otto Smith Is Shot Through
Chest And Dies Instantly
-------------
Al Draper Collapses After Telling
Of Accident
---------------
Mistaken for a deer, Otto Smith,33, of Mount Hood, sank to his knees, on
Ghost ridge near CloudCap, Monday mornig, and died within a short time after
his hunting companion, Al Draper, of Parkdale. who fired the fatal shot, had
reached his side. Draper raced for help and after he had hystarically told
the story of the accident, collapsed. A widow and three children at Mount
Hood mourn the untimely death of husband and father.
Fate took a hand in the preliminaries which preceded the accident. Smith,
C. G. Springer, and Claire F. Stohl left Mt. Hood early Monday to hunt the
Spur road region, but on arrival, ran into another party of hunters, including
Draper, Ray Sato and W. P. Eding. Smith decided to join the three and hunt
with them. They chose the long Ghost ridge, just below Cloud Cap and planned
to separarte but advance in a line along the ridge slope.
Some time later, Draper thought he saw something move further along the ridge,
at about the same level he was standing and apparently decided that a deer
was standing between two trees hidden by brush. As he watched the spot, he
saw what he thought was a deer raising up between the two trees and bringing
his rifle up, he fired.
Hardly before he could lower his rifle, he saw the form of a man lurch forward
and racing to the scene, was horrified to find that he had shot Otto Smith,
his companioon, in the chest, and that he was dying. After doing all he knew
to aid his dying companio, Draper raced for help and encountered C. G. Springer
and Claire Stohl, to whom he said: "I have killed a man." Draper
who was husterical, collapsed in a faint. Springer asked Stohl to take care
of Draper, while he himself raced to the road to reach a telephone and secure
surgical aid. As he ran he heard several rifle shots, but associated them
with other hunters.
In the meantime, others who had also heard the shot, thought they came from
a point near where Smith was lying dead, and then it was that they discovered
that Smith must have rallied, for he had fired all shells in his rifle in
an effort to attract attention to his plight. He died immediately afterwards.
Sheriff John Sheldrake and State Officer Raney were called and Coroner Anderson
left for the mountain to take charge of the body, which was later brought
to Hood River.
Draper was cared for by officers and others during the afternoon, as he was
bordering on complete collapse. He rallied towards evening.
Smith had been employed at the Neal Creek Lumber Company's mill in the Midddle
Valley, and was well known to may residents.
This is the first deer hunting tragedy in Hood River valley for many years.
