WWII Alva Barrack In Dacoma, OK...

"Three photos attached - one is the home in Dacoma that was formerly my grandparent's home (Lute & Mildred Murrow). Photo is taken from the street corner (Arapaho Ave.) looking to the northwest. The little closed porch and the family room at the west end of the house was added on to the original structure. I'm not certain who lives there now. Exterior of the home is stucco, I believe. The other photos are the front and back sides of a POW piece of art from Camp Alva that I found on eBay, with the desire to donate it to the Cherokee Strip Museum in Alva - which I have not yet done. I'm curious to know if this fellow, or any of his family members, may still be living and if it might be possible to return this artwork to him/them. His name is WILLI EMMERT and the date is 1944. I'm not sure what is the best way to try to contact this family, given the distance, etc. Somewhere in my archives, I also have a few pictures of the Freedom UMC (two POW buildings joined together)." -- Rod Murrow   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
