Research Sources 

This webpage draws from both oral history stories of the Yates Family, and also from published research.


Oral history

The oral history stories of the Duncan family were told by Sally Yates Duncan.

Sally Yates Duncan (1889-1984) -- daughter of John Pryor Yates & Rebecca Arimenta Brown Yates

Sally Yates Duncan told stories to family members, including Sally Yates Duncan's grandson,
Duncan Work & his wife Lisa Lindberg on their visits with her, Durant, Oklahoma, 1971-1983.  

The 1st person Family stories are presented verbatim, shuffled for chronologic clarity.

We occasionally added [ inside of brackets like this ] pieces of information for clarification and also for illumination
-- especially about the people's (usually very young ! !) ages at pivotal times of their lives.
