What's Happening...

Let's see! As to what this week has brought to our Mailbag Corner... We have someone looking for a list of WWII POWs at Camp El Reno (Oklahoma).

We heard from the daughter of Lt. Ephraim Lubritz. We are assuming that Lt. Lubritz was a physian and surgeon at Camp Alva during WWII. His daughter is looking for anyone who might have information as to his tenure at Camp Alva.

We have heard this week from a lady whose great uncle was a part of the Anti Horsethief Association that was used as a posse to hunt for the Black and Yeager gangs. This same lady had great grandparents that were in the Stampede of '93. They staked a claim in some good black bottomland, but ended down around Fairview and Longdale in the red dirt country. Their ancestors are BAUM, GREEN, WINTER, LEE AND KUSCH.

Don't forget to check out the April 20, 1970 newsclipping that another person sent us of the demolition of the Dixie Sherman Hotel in Panama City, Florida.

We did hear from Reta with more information concerning the DeGeer Grocery Store, on Barnes Avenue, in Alva, Oklahoma.

If you are in search of immigation records of your ancestors, there is a NEW website - CastleGarden.org - that you can access information on over 10 million immigrants that passed through Ellis Island from 1830 thru 1892.

Our condolences goes out to the Daniel Shorter family this week. Daniel Albert Shorter died Tuesday, August 2, 2005 at the Oklahoma Heart Hospital in Oklahoma City at age 78. He was born May 20, 1927 in Goltry to Edna I. Mason Shorter and Wiley B. Shorter. He graduated from Northwestern State College in 1949 with a Bachelor of Science Degree. He obtained his Masters in Science Degree from OSU in 1960 and received his Doctor of Philosophy from OSU in 1966. He served proudly in the United States Navy during World War II. He married Margery Jean Peck on January 13, 1946 in Goltry. After moving to Anthony, Kansas then to Stillwater, they settled in Alva in 1960. Daniel Albert Shorter, 1927-2005 - Obituary
