    Notes
    Gertie George was born abt 1885 in AR, she married a man by the last name of Anthony, his first name is unknown. They had one son named Roy George which was born abt 1907 in Texas.

    On 14 Jul 1909, she was a witness to her brother, Charlie George's marriage to Emma Saladin and she stated on the license that she was a resident of Wetumka, Hughes Co., OK. She may have been living in her sister, Minnie May George-Adkins and brother in law, Ben L. Adkins, household since they lived in Wetumka, Hughes Co., OK and Ben L. Adkins was the second witness on the marriage certificate.

    In the 1910 census of Garvin Co., OK, she and her son, Roy Anthony, was shown living in her parents household.

    I assume she got divorced from her husband, ? Anthony, most likely while she was living in Hughes or Garvin Co., OK.
