Have you checked the County courthouse where she lived to see if her Ministerial License is registered?

I was at a distant courthouse here in Oklahoma a few years ago looking for records of my grandfather and his family. I had checked marriage, land, and death records, and was standing in the records vault trying to think of anything else that I could check in this one-chance trip to this county.

I noticed a book titled Ministerial Licences. There was a family story that my grandfather had "preached some" in his younger days. So I checked it, not expecting to find anything, but I did! He had been licensed by the Texico District, but had also registered it in the County that his family was still living in, perhaps while evangelizing in the area.

My mother was his youngest child, and was still a toddler when he left his family and his faith, but even her older sisters did not realize that he had been a licensed minister.

I was not raised in any denomination or church, but have been Pentecostal since I was 13 years old. It has been a blessing to research my Spiritual Heritage. My grandfather's mother's line were "Shouting Methodists" before the Topeka outpouring and have been mostly Pentecostal since.

My grandfather died the year before I was born, so my mother and I were not aware of this heritage until I ended up in Oklahoma 10 years ago and started researching her people here.
