Mississippi CO.: GAINES and COLE Looking for
information about Walter Michael GAINES, wife Fannie Elizabeth
(COLE) GAINES. Michael (Mike) and Fannies lived in either
Osecola or Wilson, AR. Not sure for hold long, but know for sure
that they were there from possibly 1908 thru 1910. Fannie died
Sept. 16, 1910 and is buried in Wilson, AR. I am unable to get a
death cert. for Fannie because AR didn't start keeping death
records until 1914. I have not been able to find out where
Michael and Fannie was married. I found Michael with his parents
on the 1900 Benton Co. census records. I found Fannie on the
1900 Tipton Co. census with her brother as head of household. I
have checked with the newspaper in Osecola and they do not have
their records back that long any more. The court house in
Osecola does not not have any death records. I also checked the
court house in Coverington (sis), TN (court hourse for Tipton
Co), to see if I could find a marriage cert. for Michael and
Fannie, I had no luck. I was not able to find Michael and Fannie
listed on the 1910 Miss. Co. census. If you have any
information. Please e-mail me at: jrbbgb@aol.com. Thank you,

the KEY family that lived in Manila and Blytheville area. This
is my husband's family. There is a Rachael KEY buried in the

she might have been of African descent. The KEY family is
supposed to be of Indian descent. The KEY family also married
into the VANWINKLE family, the GRIMES and TACKETT families.
