Dierks Lumber Co. & Clebit, OK

"I have just received a book that was written by my aunt's sister in Idabel, Oklahoma. It is called The Traveling Timber Towns. Many of my family's pictures are in the book.

It chronicles the life and times of the Dierks Lumber Co. and the town called Clebit and its many moves in the early 1900's.

My mother was from Clebit and my dad from up near Honobia. I have many fond childhood memories of going to visit Grandmother and Granddaddy in the mountains of beautiful native pines in SE Oklahoma. I don't know exactly where you can get a copy of this wonderful book of history because my cousin sent me mine. It is well worth the effort for anyone interested in the mountains of Oklahoma to hunt down this book. The ISBN is 0-9758760-0-7. Just had to share this info with you.

I noticed the picture you have on your website of the house being moved in Clebit, Oklahoma. Strange, but I own that picture, that exact picture. It was taken by by my grandparents in Oct. 1956. On the back of the original picture is written Picken Clebit moving house to Broken Bow 'Cleb' 1956.

I don't know who the people are who sent you the picture on your website. I would like to know how to contact them and find out where they got their copy. They had to have either been there, know someone who was there, or knew my grandparents.
