Seiling High School Seniors of 1936
"While surfing. I stumbled upon your website (Vada Paris' High School graduation) while looking up the words, 'Chester, Oklahoma' and 'Bland.' I found the page for your mother's high school graduation. Her name was very familiar to me because my mother graduated from that same class. Her name was Gladys Hedrick.
Her parents were George and Susie Hedrick and she grew up on a farm north of Chester (Oklahoma). She had two brothers, Clyde and Doyle.
My mother married my father, Emil Grade, of Taloga, in 1941. Both of my parents died in 1995. I grew up in Taloga but have lived in Topeka Kansas since 1965.
Cecil Condreay was my mother's first cousin and also graduated from that same class.
I will attach my mother's high school graduation
picture here. There were a lot of Hedricks and Blands around Chester. My mother's mother was a Bland.
I used to hear the name Paris when my mother would talk about people. I don't recall hearing Hurt. I was in Chester a few days after Thanksgiving for the first time in 4 years at least. I went to the Taloga High School reunion.
There sure aren't many people out that way. My aunt Lois Hedrick still lives outside of Chester as does her son Mickey Hedrick. Bill and Frank Hedrick were my grandfather's brothers. I think Leota was a sister.
I'll get back to you after I look it up. I've heard Eunice Bland's name a lot. She was probably a first cousin of my mother. I think all of the Blands and Hedricks around Chester were relatives." -- Gloria - Email: golson@cox.net
