I love summer because I can go to the library at least once a week! Found several resources that are “new to me”, including Notable Men of Indian Territory, 1904-1905, edited by Paul W. H. Dewitz. Also located some new websites that I will link here as soon as I get permission. If you have resources, questions, suggestions, or photos to share, don’t hesitate to email me.
Found these in the Caddo Free Press, Jan. 24, 1879 and I don’t think I’ve posted them before:

J. F. Vales and Mrs. M. Stidham in Caddo, Sunday the 19th by Rev. Edward Morris

Overlooked this recently:
Seeking information on Susan Walden, born 30 Jan 1860 and died 03 May 1889. She was married to Andrew Robert Thomas. Reportedly buried near her infant daughter Fronie in the Caddo Cemetery.

These are my grandparents.
