My grandmother was Stella Elvira Cape Sanders Polk, believed to have been born in 1892 at
St. Joseph, MO. Her father was James Willis Cape, born 1873 in Illinois and her mother
was Bertha Amelia Cape, who died about 1902. Three other children in the family died as
children. Both Stella and her father James came to Oklahoma before 1910, residing most of
their lives in McIntosh County. Stella died in Tulsa 6-6-1995. James died in Checotah,
OK in 1951. It is believed that the father of James Willis was R. C. Cape, but nothing is
known of him. Does anyone have information about this family?
