Alvaretta, Oklahoma...

Alvaretta was a town in Section 10-23N-9WIM. It was 3 miles south of Goltry. In 1894 a large store was owned by Matthew W. Wrigley and the town was named for his daughter, Alvaretta Wrigley. The lumberyard owner was Charles Coulter (Wrigley's son-in-law). The postoffice was organized 22 March 1894 with postmaster Matthew Wrigley and closed on 29 Sept. 1904. There was a Masonic Lodge organized in 1896 there. The Blacksmith shop was run by Jack O'Connor. There were churches inAlvaretta and Karoma which united with the Congregational Church of Goltry when the town mvoed to Goltry. When the Frisco Railroad was built in 1903 it went through Goltry and so Alvaretta and Karoma oved to Goltry.

Alvaretta and Karoma, two inland towns which were near the present town of Goltry, moved to Goltry when the Frisco Railroad was built in 1903. The first postmaster was Mr. Wrigley. Later he was succeeded by Mrs. Grace Trask who served several years.   |  View or Add Comments (1 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
