This is an old postcard, of Alva, Woods, Oklahoma businesses that lined the downtown square of Alva. Each view shows a different side (North, South, East and West) of the square with businesses across from the square during the early days of Alva. Not quite sure of the date, though.

Walking With Sadie

Sunday night, at 11:53 P.M. EST (9:53 MST), was the FULL WOLF MOON! January is the month of the Full Wolf Moon. It appeared when wolves howled in hunger outside the villages. It is also known as the Old Moon. To some Native American tribes, this was the Snow Moon, but most applied that name to the next full Moon, in February.

Elm Springs & Shady Grove

Written by T. J. Dyer, April, 1931 - Elm Springs, for more than half a century this name has clung to this memorable and historic place. It was in the spring of 1879 that Stith and Watkins established a cow camp at these springs, which was later moved over to Buffalo Springs, about one-half mile east, now known as the Ellis (?) homestead.
