Two Mabel Oakes! ? !

My hometown is Goltry. The Miss Mabel Louise Oates was the daughter of a Congregational Minister at the church in Carrier at the time of her completion of high school in December 1925. Afterward the family moved to Goltry to the Congregational Church ministery there. Mabel's sister Frances graduated from Goltry High School in the Class of 1927 and her sister Eva M. (Mary Evelyn) graduated from Goltry in the Class of 1926. The Superintendent at Goltry from 1928-1936 was NOT Lowell, but Lowe - Alvin H. Lowe. Others in the William M. Oakes family were his wife Minnie, Hazel W. and Charles E. William, Minnie, and Mabel were born in TN, Eva and Frances were born in TX, Hazel in LA, and Charles in OK. Information on family, birth, etc. is from the 1920 Oklahoma Census for Garfield County, Kiowa Township; census shows Keowee (sic) Township. There was no George Oakes in Oklahoma Censuses for 1900, 1910, 1920, or 1930. Jim Bradley
