NW Oklahoma Visit - Alfalfa County/Goltry -- My Hometown

"Linda, I returned today (Sunday, 20 April) from my hometown of Goltry where I attended my high school's annual Alumni Banquet. All classes were represented and those that graduated in a year ending with "8" were singled out for recognition. I write you this because during the weekend a dedication of a memorial was made for the Liberty Church, a Cumberland Presbyterian Church. This church was located northeast of Goltry and was established in 1906 and went through several transformations due to the destruction of the church by fire and windstorm.

I did not attend this church, but many of my classmates and friends from school did attend there. Many of the families that were members of the church were friends of my father and his family. One of these families was a relative by marriage of one of my father's cousins. So, even though I was not a member, nor was any of my family, I still had a tie to the history of the church.

I just thought it might be of interest to some of your readers." -- Jim Bradley
