  Joe N Philpot Jr
  Birth Date 4 Oct 1925
  Address: 1009 E Gardena St, Ada, OK, 74820-2411 (1993)
  614 S Main St, Ada, OK, 74820-1114 (1996)
  POB Moodie, Ada, OK, 74821
  
  He is listed here as Joe N Philpot Jr, but as far as I can find in any record, his father's name was Joseph Ralph Philpot, attested in various sources.
  
  His wife Christine (Rowland) Philpot is also listed at the Gardena Street address.  His sister Bettie is at the same address on Gardena St., with the same post office address of Moodie.  The entry for Bettie is odd, reporting her with the same middle and last name, which is also the same as the PO address in Ada for her and her brother, P O Box Moodie, Ada, Oklahoma.
