  • Notes 
    • Obituary:
      Elizabeth Stansberry's full name was: Arvilla Elizabeth 'Lizzie' Corner Stansberry. She was the daughter of Francis J. (Jacques) Corner and Rachel Rebecca Drake. She was the 1st wife of Richard Braxton Stansberry. Her children were: Gilla Rebecca Stansberry; Anna Mary 'Annie' Stansberry; Lawrence Richard 'Lon' Stansberry; Linna Arvilla 'Linnie' Stansberry; and Bertha Sarah 'Bert' Stansberry.

      Her mother Rachel's date of death and burial location are unknown. Rachel was alive, living with Richard B. Stansberry in Tulsa, Indian Territory at time of the 1900 U.S. Census. She was 73 years old. At time of the 1910 U.S. Census, Rachel is no longer listed as living - anywhere within the United States. Speculations range wide as to her burial location: between her husband Francis Jacques Corner and daughter Lizzie in the Powers Cemetery, but without a stone or marker; in Oaklawn Cemetery, Tulsa, Tulsa CO, Oklahoma where daughter Gilla Rebecka, her husband Joseph Sheddrick, their unknown child, and son-in-law Richard B. Stansberry are buried. Oaklawn's records are ill-kept & they claim no written record. The Powers Cemetery records have long been lost, so again no record. A death record hasn't been found - Oklahoma didn't begin keeping such records until sometime 1910.
