Funeral Services: Musgrove-Merriott-Smith, Claremore.
Please note that Lola B. James was the biological daughter of George Washington James (1869-1944) of Arcadia, Kansas and Emma M. Logston (1872–1919). Lola's parents divorced on August 4, 1919 Lola's parents were divorced. Lola's mother Emma was granted full legal and physical custody of Lola and her other four children. Lola's mother Emma quickly remarried on August 6, 1919 to James Lewis Puckett (1863-1938) in Vinita, Craig County, Oklahoma. In late 1919, prior to the new year, Lola's mother Emma was bitten by a poisonous snake and died. Her father George refused to acknowledge his paternity and Lola was left in the custody of her stepfather James. Mr. Puckett, whose occupation was that of a cowboy, quickly relinquished his custody of Lola over to his relatives, Charles Franklin Trickey (1870-1951) and Mary E Trickey (1878-1938) who raised her as their foster child without formally adopting her. The Trickey family assigned Lola the alias, "Lola Mae Trickey." Later in life, Lola obtained a delayed birth certificate claiming her stepfather, James Lewis Puckett, as her biological father. However, in 1995, DNA evidence confirmed and established George Washington James' paternity of Lola B. James. The same year Lola met her biological family.
