Obars of Craighead County
I am looking for information on the Obar family of Craighead County. My grandfather was born there in 1881. I am told he told his youngest son that there was a name change but my uncledid not know from what. The 1910 Craighead County had my grandfather, grandmother, an aunt, and my father listed under the surname Obar. I was also told he had two sisters that died as teenagers.
There was two teenagers that died in Craighead County the same year. One was M. F. Obar who was born 11` Nov.1883 and died 20 June 1900. I am not sure iif this was female or male. The initials is all I have on this child.
The other was Lucy Obar who was born 15 April 1887 and died 25 August 1900. Both were buried at Bowman cemetery.
Their birth dates are very close to my grandfather's birth year which was 1881. Maybe it is coincidental that two young people born that close together in the same county, died thesame year, and was buried in the same cemetery. The facts tell me this is a good chance they were my grandfather's sisters.
Any help would be most appreciated.Email me with any information you may have at:[email protected] Thank you.
