Sheriff D. C. Oates

"Jim, I was very excited to see that you have put together a CD. I am one of six grandchildren born to Frank Willard Patterson. My Grandfather was the owner of his father, Otis Harvey Patterson's Oklahoma Claim flag. This flag was proudly displayed in my Grandparent's New Mexico cabin until he and my Great Aunt Pat Birkett donated it to the Oklahoma Historical Museums.

The flag reads: "This CLAIM TAKEN BY O.H.PATTERSON."

He and my great grandmother, Myrtle May Holder Patterson, were a huge part of settling that territory. If your CD has information about them, I would imagine my siblings and cousins would love to purchase a copy! Regardless, thank you for taking the time and great effort to document our nations tremendous history." -- Paulita Aldridge Hayes - OkieLegacy Comment
