My grandmother was Ruth Viola Plank, who was born 06,1898 I think in or
around northeastern oklahoma/northwestern arkansas area. Her father
was Jerry Plank, we think her mother's name was sarah gardinhaer, or
a similiar spelling. Her mother died when she was only 3. Her father
remarried a widow. She had a sister named Millie. Several Brothers, Jesse and Ransom are the only two that I remember.

She married Perry George Brunk in Sequoyah Co., Oklahoma and they had 8
children. Stanley,Jewel Virginia,Grace,Hazel,Pearl,James,Joe Perry and
Virginia Lee, my mother, was the youngest child.

No one has been able to find out anything about the Planks past Jerry
Plank.

Any help would be appreciated.
