In this excerpt from a letter written by my uncle in 1992, "Dad" is Estal Earnest Sparlin. Like my uncle, I am providing this information just in case someone doesn't already have it, and I scanned it to remove the transcription step with its potential for errors.
For anyone finding the scan difficult to read, here's the transcription:
Minnie Lucrettia Ryan, born January 11, 1876
Maggie An Ryan, born May 27, 1878
Estella Lonore Ryan, born December 26, 1879
Ernest Eldrige Ryan, born September 20, 1881
Corre Rosett Ryan, born February 10, 1883
Dace Balnose Ryan, born March 6, 1884
Walter Gray Ryan, born April 5, 1885
Fredrich Dean Ryan, born April 6, 1886
Bertha May Ryan, born September 23, 1887
Lulie Edith Ryan, born August 27, 1889
Orson Ryan, born September 27, 1891
Jacob Irvin Ryan, born February 17, 1893
George Ervin Ryan, born February 17, 1893
Claud Clifford Ryan, born June 21, 1895.
I have in addition a few index entries from the online site, On Demand Court Records. These are dates of Sparlin/Ryan marriages in Oklahoma and represent the date filed at a courthouse. In this format, the first number of the date is the month.
County: Kay (Newkirk)
Case: Tripp, Harriet and Sparlin, Estal E.
Date Filed: 8/29/1928
County: Kay (Newkirk)
Case: Sparlin, Bertha M. and Paxton, James E.
Date Filed: 11/24/1919
County: Kay (Newkirk)

Date Filed: 11/05/1927
County: Pawnee

With enough money and time, the originals of these documents could probably be obtained from their respective courthouses. No doubt they hold a treasure trove of information. Unfortunately, there are hundreds of similar documents I would like to order, and my bill would be in the tens of thousands if I paid for all of them I would like to see.
Happy Hunting!
