Hello, Earl!
 
I have a friend at Jennings, Oklahoma named Toni PRICE.  Her maiden name was TILLEY.  I haven't seen her for many years now, since I've lived in Texas for five years.  I had loaned my books to her in the 1980s on Searcy County.  I have two histories.  One is much older than the other, even has drawings.  It tells all about the "chain gangs" and life in Searcy County.
 
My aunt Belza {COTTON} PERRY was somehow related to TILLEYs.  She came to Broken Arrow to visit my mother and we went to Bixby to some of her relatives.  It was after my uncle died (abt. 1950 in Springfield, MO) and I was probably 12 to 14.  Believe it was her sister that lived in Bixby.
 
The Superintendent of Schools at Broken Arrow was Glyn L. HOLLABAUGH, a basketball standout from Searcy County.  We had a drugstore in Broken Arrow on Main Street owned by the QUIGGs.  Mrs. QUIGG was a DELK from Searcy County.  She was related to Dr. DELK, an oral surgeon in Tulsa.
 
Earl, would you have information on your TILLEY connection that you could post to the List?  I would be very interested to read it.  One of my classmates at Broken Arrow is Robert "Bob" CYPERT and he can tell names in his ancestral line going way back.  Also had marriage of Jewel CYPERT to Jay BORDERS (cousin to my father) and they lived at Coweta, Oklahoma.  So, I'm always interested in CYPERTs, too.
 
I've been on this list for ten years and I read each and every one of them.
 
Peggy
