Naming of Alva

Special Update: " Some say, 'Alva was NOT named for Alva Adams,' an attorney, for the Santa Fe Railroad. Most source quote that but while doing research for Centennial, Joan (Wagner-Hodgden) and a couple of others went to Topeka where there is a Sante Fe Railroad museum and they could not find where Alva Adams was an attorney for the RR. Joan wrote several articles for the Courier during Alva's Centennial that are most interesting and they are all in a scrapbook at the Alva Public Library. You would enjoy them and you know Joan (Wagner-Hodgden) never did anything halfway."

The Square - Alva Oklahoma (During the Forties)

by Bill Barker -- This memoir was triggered by a chance remark of a high school classmate. She said, "I am saddened when I return to Alva because there is no activity on the Square as I remembered it. This struck a responsive chord with me because I have the identical feeling when I toured the Square on a return visit. I always ask myself the question, "Where did it all go? What happened to it?"
