1Book, "Big Cabin Cemetery - Tombstone Readings", (pg 110). Sue (Epperson) Thorpe is buried in the Big Cabin Cemetery, Craig co, OK. There is a space between Sue and headstones for James W. and Lola (Epperson) Straw. A notation in the book "Big Cabin Cemetery - Tombstone Readings" states that "Lola Straw is a sister to O. L. 'Ras' Epperson (1900 - 1997). He is buried at the Ketchum, Oklahoma Cemetery. They are the children of J.O. & Mary (Wood) Epperson, who are buried here, with some of their other siblings and cousins etc." I think Sue and Lola are sisters. This is futher backed up by the 1920 Census for Craig co, OK that shows Oscar L. age 19, Lola, age 14 and "Susie", age 7; along with other siblings, in the hh of J.O & Mary Epperson.
