Subject: Quay
Co.Query. I am looking for information
regarding the SIX Family of Quay County. Other, (pronounced with a long O,
O-ther), and Nancy (Mullens) SIX
moved to Hanley, NM about 1909, from Oklahoma. Their
Grandsons; Ernest BAUGHMAN - SIX, age 18, and Rosco BAUGHMAN - SIX, age
16, were living with them at the time of the 1910 census. There
was a Granddaughter, Lula, age 3, living with them also. Other was a
farmer. Hanley became part of Tucumcari
about 1918. In the 1920 census, Other
and Nancy SIX lived on Hancock Avenue in Tucumcari. I am hoping to find information
regarding the grandsons. I am told, that Rosco died as a young soldier in
W.W.I, of the influenza. I would like to
learn more about him, and his brother Ernest. Nancy SIX passed away March 3, 1929, and
is buried at the Tucumcari Memorial Park. There was no obituary for
her in the local paper. After her death,
Other moved back to Oklahoma, where he passed away
between 1930-1931. He is buried next to Nancy in Tucumcari. Other and Nancy had several children, but it
appears that most of them did not go to New Mexico. I have located some land records for their
Son, Grover, in New Mexico.
Any information would be helpful. Thank you, Debbie.

being built around 1897. His railroad job took him to Carizozo where met
Bernice Lane. They were married in 1910 and shortly thereafter they moved
to Tucumcari where he worked for the SP Railroad.
In the 1920s Jo purchased a ranch in the

accident occurring in or around July 1914 involving John N. LOGAN, who was
apparently employed by the Post Office & was killed while delivering mail
in the surrounding area. His team of horses became runaways & his wagon
overturned & he was killed. For some reason his grave hasn't been
located in the Ima Cemetery & I don't understand that. His wife's
grave hasn't been located there either & I'm certain that she died in Ima
as well. Her name was Mary Eliza LOGAN. Their baby "Baby LOGAN

listing off the Internet with the names of those people buried at Ima Cemetery
& I do see a listing for a Mr. & Mrs. LOGAN-- graves 31 & 32 (Baby
