Indexing

So, with all the family we have had visiting I have been slacking on my indexing.  As I am trying to catch up....I am doing Oklahoma School records from the early 1900's.  Interesting.
Bob Ester Mason - Boy or girl?  (Girl)
Rinehart Montgomery - This just says "Mama's Boy" to me but I won't judge.
Melba and Melvin Smiddy are twins.
Aryal McMinn is a boy and Jimmie McMinn is the sister. This is why we are never to guess the gender in indexing!
Can you imagine a class with these students? Mincie Shuck,  Ever and Herby Fry,  Pamsy Pugh,  and Willie Biggs?
I don't know if the parents spelled these names wrong or if it was the enumerator making the record.
Eimnie                           Id                             Evyland
Ople                               Awrn                        Aill
Dorse                             Olen                         Poleane
Wilbar                           Uyless                      Cristeen
Mye                               Cervie                      Milderd
Who would name a child Birty Bait?  I guess Mr. and Mrs. Bait.
I don't know who Alvanelle is....but I will bet she is the only one.
You just have to love Cecil Teddler! Class clown?
Someone wanted a boy but got a girl  -  Ralphia
Is he nothing or did they mean he was number 1!  Ott
A while back I was indexing some missionary callings in Utah in the early 1900's.  Mormons are interesting, too.  These were all names of the missionary's Moms.
Kindness A. Badger
Hepsy Sperry
Hettie Dredge
Mine Rasmussen
Gotta love those pioneer names!
