Facts about: Exzetta Pickens Denson Parker
(This information comes from her personal bible in her handwriting)

Born: Jan. 27, 1922 in Berwyn, Oklahoma to Sim Pickens and Rhoda “Rodie” Roberts Pickens.

Married first to Hollie B. Denson on Feb. 9, 1942 in Gene Autry (Berwyn), Carter County, Oklahoma by William Dirks, minister of the Church of God.

Married second: William Dean Parker Sr. on Dec. 11, 1954 in Kansas City, Kansas, Wyandotte County by Charles F. Burkin Jr., Probate Judge, pro tem

“I became a member of the Calvary Baptist Church at an early age.  Was baptized in 1928 0r 29 I do not remember the year.  Went to Sunday School and sang in church in Berwyn, Oklahoma.  Came to KCK in 1942.  Joined Bethel Baptist Church in 1949.  Sang in the Bethel Night Choir, Sunday School teacher and BTU (Baptist Training Union) teacher.  Became a member of the Eastern Star, Adah Chapter #7.”

Her bible also does a brief genealogy of her parents, grandparents, and great grandparents,  All records found by this researcher states that he parents of Edmond Roberts was Ned Roberts and Sarah “Stevenson” Roberts, however my mothers entry does not list Edmonds father’s name and the name listed for his mother is “V(L)innie ?”.

Which leads me to a new Leaf or Branch to search.  It has always puzzled me as to why Edmond Roberts was the only child of Ned and Sarah Roberts that was enrolled in the Chickasaw Nation.  All of the other children were enrolled in the Choctaw Nation.

I love her and still miss her, very much, after 40 years.
