Notes

  • Sallie was born in Wapanucka , Chickasaw Nation, in what is now Johnston County, Oklahoma.  Wapanucka had been the location of a Confederate hospital and prison, after the Chickasaw Nation joined the Confederate States of America in the American Civil War.

    "The Chickasaw government joined the Confederate States of America after the outbreak of the Civil War. The Union army ordered its troops to evacuate Fort Washita, Fort Cobb and Fort Arbuckle. When Confederate troops occupied the area, they used the stone building at Wapanucka as a hospital and a prison."

    Sallie is recorded in the 1947 Chickasha (Oklahoma) City directory.  Several other members of the Christian family are reported also.  The listing of Christian names starts with the Broom factory of Ralph Christian.  Ralph is Cleve's cousin.

    Christian, Sallie
    Birth date 12 Apr 1893
    [The online version corrects this to the date known by the family:  4 December 1893]
    Death date 08/00/1982
    Last Known Residence Chickasha, Oklahoma 73018
    Social Security #442-22-8356 Issued in Oklahoma

    The Federal Census (1900 Chickasaw Nation, and 1910 Stephens County, Oklahoma)  report Sallie's name under the spelling Sallie.  Sallie's son Harold Keith Christian also spells the name Sallie.

    I found that the cemetery register for Rosehiill Cemetery in Chickasha, Grady County, Oklahoma, has her name as Sallie G.  I don't know where they got the G or what it might stand for.  The cemetery registry does not have her birth date.  They also give only the month of her death, not the day.  Sallie died on 26 August 1982.  The cemetery registry says she was buried on 28 August.

    Karen, who originally posted Sallie's memorial on Find a Grave, updated it with missing information I provided from my research.  She also added the full notes for Sallie form this genealogy, which I have not repeated in the memorial below.
