Hi Janice,
David Holmes was my g.g.g. granfather. I read a book in the Ponca Library that discussed who died in the prairie fire. I copied some of it. I have the census records and probate records for David Holmes but no death notice from any papers that I can remember. We believe he's buried in the small unmarked cemetery near Martinsburg where his daughter Mehitable Holmes and her husband Frank Jordan and also John Martin are buried.
I have other info on the family too.
