City of Cherokee, OK

While we were back in northwest Oklahoma a couple of weeks ago, we passed through Cherokee with some friends and found this Memorium To A. J. Titus plaque gracing the front side of the city hall on main street.

The memorium read as follows: "Memorium To A. J. Titus - 1865-1931 -- In 1901 he organized and platted the city of Cherokee. He served as its mayor for 17 years and was mayor at the time of death. He secured the building of the two railroads through the city, also instrumental in locating highway 64. Titus park in this city is named in his honor. Erected as a public service. by The City of Cherokee."
