Frank A. Dinkler is my great-uncle. His youngest brother, Dr Fred Dinkler, is my grandfather, and his son (my father) is still kicking at age 85.
ReplyDeleteAnyone with information on Dr Fred's first wife, Maybelle, is welcome to reply to me at fred@dinkler.com. Maybelle (according to my father) was the daughter of the Kingfisher County sheriff at the time of the wedding, which would have been on or before 1910. The 1910 census has the couple living in Ft Cobb (Caddo Cty) OK, she was 21 and he was 29 at that time.
