Needing information on the family of John K. Work found on the 1900 Chickasaw Nation Indian Territory census as follows:
1900 Chickasaw Nation, IT, Twp 2 S R 4 E, 8-16-1860, ED 190, Sheet 2B, #13-13
Work, John K 3-1890 40 m.19 years TN TN TN Farmer
Nancy J 7-1860 39 5 children, 4 living TN TN TN
John Benj 5-1884 16 TX TN TN
Frederika E 3-1886 14 TX TN TN
Ella J 12-1887 12 TX TN TN
Joseph E 4-1889 11 IT TN TN

Chickasaw Nation Marriages, Ardmore Courthouse 1895 - 1907 has marriage
LEE, ROBERT E 20 WORK, FEDDIE 14 26 AUG 1900 MILLCREEK E©68

in the above census the household living at #17-17 is the family of Lee, T Patrick, with son Robert E. Lee.

In 1910 the Work family can be found in Cleveland county.
1910 Cleveland Co, OK, Canadian Twp, 5-5-1910, ED 18, Sheet 8A, #114-114
Work, Jane 51 wd TN TN TN 5 children, 4 living
Ella J 21 TX TN TN
Joseph E 18 TX TN TN
Lee, Lizzie 23 wd TX TN TN 2 children, 2 living
Roy 5 OK OK TX
Pat 3 OK OK TX

In 1920 Pottawatomie Co, OK brothers Jospeh E and John Benj are living with their families.

A listing for the Box Cemetery, Box, Cleveland Co, OK has part of the Work family buried there including Nancy Jane, John Benajamin, Joseph E and others.

What happened to Frederika, aka Lizzie, Work Lee, and her two sons, and where was her husband buried?

A Lee family bible has that Robert E. Lee died March 6, 1924, but that maybe wrong since the 1910 census shows Lizzie to be a widow unless I have the wrong family. Any help muchly appreciated!
