(probably), OK; license application on page 422 in the Okmulgee County license book for 1917-1919 was apparently started but not completed -- Arvel's name and information were entered, but after Phala's name was written, the next line was for her age, and that line was not filled in, along with the rest of her information. Of course, she did not turn 18 until the following July 25. The immediately preceding license on page 421 was dated March 20, and the next completed license which is on the top of page 423 was also dated March 20, so the marriage apparently occurred about that date.

Biography

Troy Earl Detamore was born on 22 March 1931 in Le Flore Co., OK; son of Troy Lee and Jessie F. (Linam) Detamore. SS Applications and Claims Index shows birth date 22 MAR 1930, however he was listed on the April 1940 census as age 9, so 1931 is the correct year. Jessie Linam's biological father is unknown -- she was listed on the 1910 census with her recently-remarried mother, maiden name Etta Rogers, and Etta's husband Thomas W. H. Sweeten, at Cameron, Le Flore County, OK. However Jessie's name was badly written -- it looks like "Branlie Lineum" or something similar. Etta used her Rogers maiden name when she married Thomas Sweeten on 10 JAN 1910 at Sebastian County, AR. However, Jessie was Jessie Linam, age 19, when she married Troy Detamore on 21 MAR 1927, so it appears that her father was a prior husband or unmarried companion of Etta Rogers. DLB 2026. He married Betty Eileen Pauley daughter of Arvel Pauley and Phala Rebecca Buckley, on 14 July 1951 in Van Buren, Crawford Co., AR. Troy Earl Detamore died on 15 April 2003.

He was buried in April 2003 in Yukon Cemetery, Yukon, Canadian Co., OK, Findagrave #7383101.
