NW Okie's Journey

It is that time of year again for cold, icy weather, especially in Oklahoma and Texas. AND ... another 4.7 earthquake WSW of Medford, Oklahoma was felt in Alva and up into Kansas early this morning between 2a.m. and 3a.m., giving the icy, crystal tree limbs a good shaking, freeing of their heavy loads from this weekends ice storms.

Meanwhile, back in southwest Colorado we are getting light snows. Without the humidity and wind of Oklahoma and Texas, our 34F temps are bearable, and do not chill you through to the bones like Oklahoma and Texas.

NW Okie has me scouring through old newspapers articles again. This week we go back to September, 1918, and find in The Beaver Herald, page 6, dated 26 September 1918, Thursday, this ad for free college education in the students' army training corps at Northwestern State Normal School.

1910 - Students Win In College Quarrel, Northwestern State Normal

This find in The Daily Ardmoreite, dated 16 May 1910, Monday, page 1, was reprinted from Alva, Oklahoma newspaper May 15, 1910: "Students Win In College Quarrel." It seems five hundred were on strike at the Northwestern State Normal at Alva back then. WOW! It is interesting to find that our Northwestern Oklahoma students of 1910 were finding things to stand up for and strike about what is important to them.

1910 - Muskogee County Negro Runs For Legislature

This was an interesting news article from Muskogee County, Oklahoma, printed in The Daily Ardmoreite, dated 16 May 1910, Monday, page 1: "Negro Will Run For Legislature," as the Muskogee "Lily White" republicans had it put square up to them.

Did you know back in 1910, in Muskogee county, Oklahoma, there were two elements in the republican party there, one known as the "Lily whites" and the other as the "Black and Tans?

An Old Gang of Horse Thieves Story

It was a Thursday, 19 April 1909, page 5, in The Beaver Herald, out of Beaver, Oklahoma, that we found this story entitled: "An Old Gang of Horse Thieves." The story unfolds out in Texas county, in "No Man's Land" during the early pioneer days of 1885. Maybe you might have heard this before through your pioneer ancestors.
