Additional info: Thomas FINNEY Sr. WWI Draft Card indicates nearest relative: Mrs. Lillie
FINNEY. Also have Thomas FINNEY Jr. WWII Army Enlistment Record to corroborate his
surname. Thomas Sr. married Grace YOUNG prior to Lillie.
I have not found Lillie ARCHER (or CAUSEY if married) or Frank CAUSEY or Will CHILDRESS on
the 1900 census. Also needing marriage date for Lillie/Frank CAUSEY and Lillie/Will
CHILDRESS (I'm presuming both in OK). Have not been able to further trace any of the
children other than Opal & Thomas FINNEY (no marriage for Thomas yet though). I could
go on & on with questions. If anyone can help further (death dates, obits, anything,
etc) or is connected in any way to these families, I would love to hear from you.
Thanks,
Luana
