Dacoma, OK Shooting - 1918

"I don't have any more information about the Ann Reynolds mystery (1956), nor the opera house murder of 1910. I was a small child when I remember my mother talking about the Avard (1956) mystery -- something that always stuck in my mind.

During your newspaper research did you ever remember a shooting occuring in Dacoma in September 1918? I was told that Albert Lemon was shot and killed in Dacoma by D. R. Carpenter, the newspaper publisher of the Dacoma paper. Someone told me he also poured concrete sidewalks in Dacoma. Some of the sidewalks still bare his name and date. One is located where the old post office was. Why was Lemon buried in Alva when his relatives were from around Freedom? Maybe some one can answer these questions for him." -- Anonymous
