I can find no trace of Ralph or Jerry in Evansville. In fact, I find no trace of Ralph
except his death in Hopkins Co., KY. I'm assuming that Ralph and Bardis are the same
person since they were both born in 1909. In the 1900, Charlie is listed with his parents
and siblings as follows:
Jesse Oakley
Mary J
William W
Charlie F born Feb 1885
Bessie M
Dona L
In 1910 he is head of family in Hopkins, KY as follows:
Charley 25 KY KY KY
Roxie 21 KY TN KY
Bartis son 1 KY KY KY
In 1920 he is still in Hopkins, KY:
Charley 34
Rocky 30
Bardis 10
Blanch 4
In 1930 he is in Marion Co., (Indianapolis) IN as follows:
Chas F 45
Roxie 41
Bladge 14
I find no trace of your Ralph or a Bardis Oakley, born around 1909 anywhere. I do not
know where he is.
