Maybe I can be of some help. I am an "Okie" tho that carries a bad
connotation. First Indianola is a town in Oklahoma, but offhand I do not
know what county it is in. In 1906 Oklahoma was not yet a state, but was
Oklahoma Territory and Indian Territory instead. The envelope you have
indicates Indianola was in Indian Territory because of the I T. Though I
was born in Oklahoma, all of my family came to Oklahoma after statehood,
so my research has all been outside of Oklahoma. You might get more help
if you subscribed to Rootsweb's mailing list for Oklahoma and some kind
soul might make photos at the cemetery for you. Good luck.

I have a question for the Pulaski County Carmack researchers. I have
John Charles Carmack born about 1858 in Kentucky, married to
Victoria Elizabeth Hensley. John is the son of Charles Carmack &
Mary 'Polly' Payne. John died in 1906, in or near the town of
Indianola, but my question is "What State?" I have conflicting
information I received from others as to John and some of the
children being in Texas & Oklahoma. I am going through and
confirming & updateing, and am not sure where he died.
What I know for sure is;
John & family lived in Pulaski County, Missouri in the 1900 census.
John died in or near the town of Indianola.
John's daughter Beulah died less then two weeks later.
They are both buried in the Indianola Cemetery.
I do not know the date that they died, or the state, but I do have
the obits from a newspaper that was sent to a family member with the
postmark on the envelope dated Oct. 23, 1906. The postmark shows
"Indianola" on top and on the bottom "IND. T.". Could this be
Indiana? Does the "T" stand for Texas?
I really would like to hear from anyone that knows about postmarks,
or knows where they were living in 1905/6, and can confirm it.
My wife's connection is through Johns brother, Cecil Calvert
Carmack.
Thank You
