NW Okie's Corner

The photo on the left is a view probably taken from the roof of the Monfort building on the downtown square. As you look South up College Avenue (6th Street) you can see the Stipp's Department Store, Congregational church and the Castle on the Hill after a rain storm. Also in the background you catch a glimpse of Alva's first water tower to the left and slightly behind the Castle.

Great Uncle Robert Lee Warwick

Our great uncle Robert Lee Warwick was the younger brother of our grandmother, Constance Estella (Warwick) McGill. During WW I, Robert Lee Warwick joined the Canadian Expeditionary (WW I 1919) and the C.A.C. (Coast Artillery Corp 1914). I know have written about this before in the archives of the OkieLegacy Ezine, but for those just now coming on board, I will reiterate this part of the family story.
