The Wapanucka Press of Indian Territory (1901-192?)

We did a search over at Chronicling America for The Wapanucka Press, of Wapanucka, Johnston county, to see what we could find out about newspaper in Indian Territory of Oklahoma.

What we found was that it began in May 1901 with the publisher A. K. McGill. Who was this McGill? Is it a relative of my ancestral McGill's? I do not know . . . yet!

The newspapers dates of publication were from 1901-1920's with the unknown date in the 1920's of when it ceased to publish. Perhaps it dates to 1924, because that is the dates that the Oklahoma Historical Society archives division goes back to in Oklahoma City. It was a weekly, printed in English, for the Indian Territory, Johnston county and Wapanucka, Oklahoma.

By the way . . . Where is/was Wapanucka, Johnston county, Indian Territory?
