Hi Kristy, talked to my Mom and found out there were actually eight children born to James Elton and Edith Clyde Bolen.They were Donald, James Jr., Joeseph Trent, Morgan Troy, Colyn Ann, Melba June, Nadine Vonlyn, Sally Lane, and Donnie.Melba June and Morgan Troy both died as young children and were buried in Stonewall, Oklahoma.Of the remaining six children, only three survive, they are James Jr. of Oklahoma, Joeseph Trent of New Mexico, and Sally Lane of West Virginia.I also wanted to let you know that James Elton was actually born March 31, 1893 in Oklahoma Indian Territory and died in November of 1981 and as you stated, is buried in the chickasaw Nation Indian Burial Ground.(Most of us are members of the Chickasaw Nation, as James was registered on the Five Civilized Tribes closed roll)Also, Edith Clyde Hollingsworth was born in Rockwall, Texas and had at least two sisters I am aware of, they were Minnie or Minerva, and Annie or Ann.At one time Annie's married name was Jones, other than that the history gets a little fuzzy.Edith passed away sometime around 1984 - 1986 in California, and was buried there.To-date that is all I know.My research is relatively new, but I am anxious to learn more.Would love to hear from you.You can e-mail me at [email protected] to you!Deb
