Jogging More Memories

Rod Murrow sent us a link to one of his Flickr photos of an old homestead northeast of Freedom, Oklahoma, just a mile off of highway 64. It is what survives of a rock prairie home beside a county road. We are curious if anyone knows anything about the history of this old rock homestead.

I am not quite sure, but this rock house seems familar. Have we mentioned, pictured this in an earlier OkieLegacy newsletter -- from a different angle? Check out Rod's message in the Mailbag corner, Little House On the Prairie.

Alma & Eugene McCann (sister & brother) were placed in the IOOF Carmen Children Home in 1938? Patricia Mills is doing family genealogy on her family and would like to know more about the Carmen Children's Home and the Checotah IOOF Home where Eugene went when the Carmen Children's Home closed.

We are still looking for any stories of the Old Opera House Murder of 1910; an old photo of Mabel Oakes; and the 1956 Avard Cold Case fiery death of Ann Reynolds. If you would like to share your ancestors stories & photos, please email NW Okie at EMAIL: mcwagner.lk@gmail.com.

It was September 1918 when Albert Lemmon was shot and killed in Dacoma, Oklahoma by the Dacoma newspaper publisher, D. R. Carpenter. We are told that Mr. Lemon poured concrete sidewalks in the town of Dacoma, Oklahoma.

AND... Why was Mr. Lemon buried in Alva when his relatives were from around Freedom? Can anyone out there shed some light on this 1918 murder in Dacoma, Oklahoma?

Back to the St. Nicholas Hotel in Alva, Oklahoma for another memory jogger... Marty would like to know who the owners were during the late 1940's. Marty says, "The owners were really nice to me and kept a pretty close watch on me as they were friends of my parents."
