Jorgensen obituaries - Oklahoma

[Erato]

I am looking for obituaries of:  Delbert P. Jorgensen, born 13 July 1911 in North Dakota, died 27 June 1997 in Tahlequah, Oklahoma; and his wife Elsie R. Jorgensen, born 25 March 1916, died 26 November 2006 in Tahlequah.  They are both buried in the Fort Gibson National Cemetery in Muskogee, Oklahoma.

I am hoping to find the identity of Elsie who I suspect was Elsie Ruth Reid.  She was born in Wisconsin in March 1916, daughter of Walter Reid and Agnes Hull.

There is a 1936 marriage to a Thelma R Harrmann in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Marriage License Number: 667721

Thanks, I had seen that marriage.  Elsie must have been a second wife.  If she was Elsie Ruth Reid, as I suspect, then the marriage must have occurred after 1964, possibly in Wisconsin or Illinois.  I know Elsie was still single then because a newspaper article [Oshkosh Daily Northwestern, 5 June 1964] refers to her as Miss Elsie Reid and says she had just returned from missionary work in Nigeria.

Have you seen this?  Wheaton College Biographies

Scroll down to the bottom of the page:  Folders 45 and 46  no information, but it at least lists Ruth Elsie (Reid) Jorgensen.

Thanks, Genealiza.  I had seen both of those items.  It was the Wheaton College thing that made me suspect that Elsie Reid married Delbert Jorgensen.  Elsie [and her whole family, in fact] were at Wheaton at the same time as Delbert.

Hello,

I have both of those obituaries in hardcopy. Are you still looking?

[Erato]

Yes, I am still interested in the obituaries.  Can you scan them and post them here?  Are you related to Elsie, by any chance?
