Watson Legacy of NW Oklahoma Territory

"Looking for information about my Great-Great-Grandmother that taught public school at the turn of the century close to the Kansas line. I notice by looking at the Oklahoma, Woods County 1906 plat map that there is an old school house on Isaac T. Race's land south of the Watson farm near the Kansas line, north of Alva. This is only a short distance from the farm. This is also, near Winchester Township.

My Grandmother's name was Eva J. Watson, born 1868. Her husbands name was William Perry Watson, born 1868. She had two boys that were of school age and would have attended school. Their names were Jake Watson, born 1888, and Chauncey Watson, born 1890. Their farm was close to Winchester Township. Their daughter, Phyllis was born in Alva in 1902. I believe Grandma also taught in Hardtner, Kansas and in Wichita, Kansas. Any help would be much appreciated." -- Richard D'Eon, Denver, CO - Email: richarddeon@msn.com
