Duchess & Sadie's Snowy Domain

NW Okie wanted me to make sure you check out some interesting Oklahoma legacies that she found at the Chronicling America at the Library of Congress website, which gives you access to America's historic newspapers. It allows you to search, view newspaper pages from 1860-1922 and find information about American newspapers published between 1690-present. It is sponsored jointly by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Library of Congress as part of the National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP).

NW Okie's R & R - The Good Old Days of 1920's

This week we are going to share a photo that I believe was taken in the 1920's (maybe mid to late 1920's), in Alva, Woods County, Oklahoma at the old Presbytarian church that stood on the Northeast corner of Seventh & Church Street. My Dad, Gene McGill, is the young boy standing on the left end, frontrow. Does anyone recognize any of the other young children in this photo and the teachers?

OBIT: VIRGIL LEROY RUSSELL (93) - Fairvalley & Freedom, OK

Maybe there are a few Fairvalley and Freedom, Oklahomans out there that remember Virgil Leroy Russell. I remember seeing him out at Fairvalley a few times when I was out there, but that has been awhile ago. Virgil would ride his 4-wheel vehicle from his homestead south of McGill Sisters land to his mailbox at the curve of the Freedom/Fairvalley blacktop road. Virgil has been and will be missed around the Freedom and Fairvalley, in Northwest Oklahoma

5 December 1912, Farmers' Champion, Elgin, Oklahoma

There was this mention of twenty-seven Union soldiers and eight Confederate soldiers (Survivors of Gettysburg) living in Oklahoma in 1912.

Are Survivors of Gettysburg -- "There are so far as heard from, twenty-seven Union soldiers and eight confederate soldiers in Oklahoma who participated in the battle of Gettysburg, Pa. An effort is being made to find out exactly how many of those veterans there are and where they are now residing in the state.
