Missing Indian Roll Books

On about January 23, 1992, two invaluable books were stolen from the Carter County Clerk's Office in Ardmore, Oklahoma. Person or persons unknown entered the courthouse during that day and removed without permission two Indian Roll Books. These books are red, about the size of a standard sheet of paper, and about 3 inches thick. Those two books contain thousands of names of the five civilized tribes who where on record as of 1902. The information recorded on each Indian was: Name, Roll Number, Census Card Number, Age in 1902 and percent of Indian blood. These books, older than statehood, can not be replaced. Officials are seeking help on finding these two treasures.
