Old Memories Dusted Off

We received this Pleasant Valley Souvenir booklet back in 2002, and we are re-submitting it to our OkieLegacy database for those doing genealogy research of their Oklahoma ancestors.

One of our readers said, "I have scanned a Souvenir booklet from my grandmother Almira Ames and great-aunt Ruby Ames. I'm not certain as the location of this school, but suspect it was east of Capron in Alfalfa County as most of the other information I have refers to being east of Capron.

Back in 2002, past references to Beegle Drug, located in Alva, Oklahoma had prompted some recall back then from another reader, "Beginning at the Northwest corner of the square and going east, Kent Johnson Insurance, a restaurant, Firestone Store, Warricks Shoes, Fredericks Studio, Fuson Carpet, Beegle Drug.

"West of the Central National Bank, I believe one of your early postcards shows an alleyway then the post office. The building that was a post office at one time was a barbershop and the location of Fred Neuman's original music store. Fred lived upstairs, and had a rehearsal hall for his boys choir.

"From the Southwest corner of the square was the Palace Barber Shop, Stites Electric, Ritz Theatre, Hester Drug, this became Holder-Southern Drug. My main memory of all the Drug Stores: Monfort's, Schumacher's, Beegle's, and Hester's was the medicinal/chemical smell and the marble soda-fountains where you could get the most delicious fountain drinks, sodas, cherry Cokes, malts."   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
