Here's an interesting "Tinker" twist:

General Hewitt went to Europe in January 1944 to become supply officer of the 41st Combat Bomb Wing, and in November of 1944 was appointed executive officer. Two months later he became chief of the Maintenance Division of the Eighth Air Force Service Command there and assumed command of the 44th Air Depot Group in the European Theater in November 1945. The following July he became chief of the Maintenance Division at Tinker Field, Okla.; was appointed deputy for maintenance in January 1947; and in June 1948 was named director of maintenance at Tinker.

This is coming from Osage Joe Revelette's grandaughter, Major General A.G. Hewitt was my Dad's father. 

I followed your instructions on the map.  Can you elaborate any more on the topic? 

Thank you!

Thank you for sharing this interesting topic!

Thank you for your post.  I appreciate the help.

Thank you.  I found a great picture of Minnie Revelette on the Osage Nation web site.

A wonderful source for Osage History is available on the "Osage Nation" website.

    South of Elgin a couple or more miles is a V in the road where you can go south, down towards the Revelette Ranch or you can go east, towards Boulanger.  That hill at the T is called Tinker Hill.  
    Wonder if Sylvester Tinker, the Chief of the Osages 25-30 years ago, was related to Clarence Tinker.  Chief Tinker and his wife, Alice, were real good friends of my grandad and my parents.  They lived in Pawhuska.

Hello,
I am a decendant of "Joe" Revelette, Elgin Kansas.  I am looking for family history.

Thank you,
Suzanne
