Oklahoma probate notices and estate actions filed
Largely illegible legal notices from Ponts and county officials propagate details of executors administrators and heirs for deceased residents. The document names a long list of heirs trustees and claimants across multiple estates including Underwood James Stoyn and Josephine Beaks with partition actions and filings dated May 249. The text also references an Oklahoma district and a Norman ch road location with a court order to administer estates and settle partitions among heirs. The fragment ends with a note about a Boy's State convention at the University of Oklahoma campus and a question about Hastings and the Conquest of England in 1066.
