Mildred Ann (Newlin) Reynold's Death
"Yes I remember all about that as we was living at Alva at the time. Of course it was on everyone's mind. When they brought the car in
they parked it across from my parents house in a salvage yard.
We lived a block south and a half west so there was all kinds of traffic as everyone wanted to see the car. Then they burned another car trying to duplicate the situation at that location also. I find a Mildred Ann Reynolds buried in the Cherokee Cemetery - born Dec. 25, 1933 and died March 13, 1956.
I think this is the Ann you are looking for. You will find a full account of the incident in the Alva papers. Pictures and all. The college at Alva has the papers on microfilm or I think the Okla. Historical Society in OKC has them to.
R. D. 'Dee' Reynolds was a basketball coach and the rumors were flying like crazy. It really looked bad for him for a while. I can't say he did or didn't do it, but I know they put him through a lot. With all the technology we have now-a-days they would probably have known right away if it was intentional. I never thought he did it, but a lot of people did.
As you read about it you will understand all the confusion about it.
I was glad to help. Anytime you need help, let me know. I am sure that the Cherokee papers, Cherokee Messenger and Republican were full of that story too, as her parents were rural Cherokee people. Her brother Edd, is dead and Edd's wife lives with their daughter." -- Marty
