Jack Hayward

There are 3 Hayward murals in Freedom, OK (that I know of). One is in the Post Office; another is in the Longbranch Cafe (may not be the same name now, but it's on the south side of the street, east end); and a third is in the old Cattleman's Cafe (north side of street, east of the museum).

Ed, my grandmother, Viola Hunt (who owned the Crowell House at 801 Flynn in Alva in the late 1960s-early 1970s), was good friends with Jack and Marge Hayward. I remember them both well, and had the honor of visiting Jack's studio a couple of times when I was a kid. I was in the Graceful Arts Gallery in Alva this afternoon and they said they often get questions about Jack's work.

I did have some lessons under Jack. Better yet I have a charcoal collection and a large painting. When dad was building the new Warrick's shoe store on the north square he hired Jack to paint a western scene in the back of the sales area. I was in the second grade and my dream ranch was west of town. Jack put my EW on the cattle and horses, painted a rattle snake in the rocks for my request. I'm getting ready to reframe it. Jack gave me my ranch for life. I have been looking for information about Jack's paintings and if there is an interest in his works and where they are located.
