I'm looking for information on Lettie Frances Isaacs, born August 23 1888 somewhere in Kansas, and died November 19, 1933 in Cross County, Arkansas. She married Julian Oscar Cordray November 7, 1904 in Anthony, Kansas. Since she would have been 16, I assume her family lived in Harper County somewhere. These are my great-grandparents and have been very elusive so far. Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated. Roy Milner
