My mother (Eureka) was J.V.'s
sixth child, and was born near Spiro, where-I have not been able
to determine. My mother and her 3 sisters attended the Choctaw
Female Institute near Tuskahoma. The older ones graduated from
the school. They all moved to west of Pauls Valley to claim
their Indian land in the Chickasaw Nation, after the death of
J.V. in 11/1906. I have a photo J.V. taken approx 1902.
