Coyle, Oklahoma Researcher

"To the author of this beautiful history and the great-granddaughter of the Wandells. I commend you for this fine bit of history and the marvellous tribute to your grandparents and great-grandparents.

You see, I am very interested in Coyle, for I was born there in 1931. My grandparents were John Wallace Brookman and wife Dora. He was also postmaster there from 1923 to 1933, I believe. He also owned and operated the telephone exchange.

I am sure that our ancestors knew each other well, and Granddad Brookman was very active in the Methodist church. You might also be interested to know that I am currently writing a Christian novel that has Coyle as its principal setting.

Consequently I have been doing some research on the town especially from 1920 to 1935. Once again, thank you so much for your contribution to the legacy of a great and once-thriving American town. Thanks for forwarding a copy to Renee Carroll-Sampson (the author of the Wandell & Coyle Legacy).  I thought it quite a coincidence that I should encounter this piece.  I shall await her response.  " -- Stan Meek - Email: smeek@junct.com   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
