Elm Flat's Oldest Living Kid...

"Hi! This is Elm Flat's oldest living KID. haha .. And one-legged at that. Elm Flat will celebrate it's 100 birthday in six years. The old building across the road has been a grocery store and filling station - a home for several different people - At one time a duplex (one family lived int he basement and one family lived up on the ground level). And I happen to be the owner at present time. Elm Flat started out as a school in 1910. A group started having church in the school and church ever since. While a school, there was one teacher. At times around 18 to 20 some kids. I went to school 7 years there and my wife also went to school there. We live in Cleo at present time. I lost a leg in 1919. I have farmed all my life -- worked on highway. I retired from the state. I served 4 years in city council. I now do around 40 and sometimes more volunteer work a week. Elm Flat has all kind of history." -- N. Alvin Wilcox, Cleo Springs, Oklahoma   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
