Wanderings Thru OkieLegacy

"I have enjoyed reading where they are from so far. You have touched so many lives and brought so much information to so many. I love just wandering around looking at the old Castle on the Hill and reading about the Murders. The POW camp really intrigues me too.

The Alva Group Photo

"Joy Sherman has n old commemorative edition of the Courier which contained the same picture in a 1938 publication. It did not identify the people in the picture, but it did say that the group was the First Grand Jury in Woods County. Because of that statement, I assume that this picture was made in 1907 when â??Mâ?? County was dissolved and Woods County came into being.
