NW Okie's R & R - The Good Old Days

Remember "Old Man Davis", who we believe had a studio in Alva, Oklahoma? I just love this photo on the left of "Old Man Davis." I would love to know more about this character of the past that had a studio in northwest Oklahoma in Alva, Woods county area.

The reason for rerunning this photo from our Vol. 11, Iss 46 OkieLegacy Ezine is because recently someone saw the Old Alva Photos on a Rootsweb messageboard and was looking for more information about the John Eugene Maddox family that live around the Alva, Woods county area in the late 1880's. Is there anyone out there that could help in their search for information?

There was another comment to our Stella Friends Academy Class Roster. Terry Row writes, "Stella Academy figures prominently in my new book, Phyllis Marie, a novel based on a true story. It's the story of my parents -- Perry V. Row and Phyllis Stanton Row -- and the B-17 Bomber he named after her during World War II. It is also a family history, tracing their parents from childhood and telling some of the stories of the Row, Whitaker, Stanton and Hill families from the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century, as they migrated between Kansas and Oklahoma. Three of my four grandparents attended Stella Academy: Clifton C. Row, Georgia Whitaker, and Edwin M. Stanton. Edwin M. Stanton's brother Irvin also attended, and their mother, Edith Bowles Stanton Worth, was a prominent teacher and preacher who worked there for a time as a dormitory matron. Georgia Whitaker's sister, Lena Whitaker Crow and her husband, H. Ernest Crow both attended. ~Terry Row"

Enjoy this calm winter weather while you can!
