It has been difficult to sort two Roy Lovetts in Oklahoma.

Roy and Cleo are both pictured on the same page in the 1927 Bristow High School yearbook, The Voice of B.S.H., Freshman Class. (U.S. School Yearbooks database; Ancestry.com.)

It is rather strange that May always refers to son Roy as a Junior - it is fairly obvious that her husband's name was Charles. Was Roy above possibly a brother to her husband?

Ralph H., son, 21, b. MO, Bookkeeper, Ar. Camp
Gertrude, dau, 17, b. OK
Helen, dau, 14, b. OK
Roy W., Jr., son, 8, b. OK
Jesse Newman
Marion Stimmel
Frank Smith - none of these three males had any additional data - probably boarders

303 E. 7th St
Mae B. Lovett, 51, widow, b. MO, father b. KY, mother b. MO

The obituary of Mrs. May Lovett of Oklahoma reveals she died 19 July 1934 in Bristow. She was born in Nodaway Co, 23 Dec 1878. Roy W. Lovett of Bristow was one of her five children.

World War II Draft Registration. Undated. 1940.
Roy Wing Lovett of 4410 W. Okmulgee, Muskogee, Muskogee Co, OK was 39, born 16 Sep 1911 in Bristow, OK. Mrs. Cleo Ocline Lovett, wife, would always known his address. He was self employed at 575 N. 3rd St, Muskogee. 5'11" tall, 150 #lbs. Gray eyes, brown hair.

Is this perhaps his grandfather or uncle???
