Is There Another Tailholt (Oklahoma)?...

"First to question some information of your write-ins about Chester, Oklahoma's (Tailholt), and this may be true, but I lived as a 6-year-old boy, 1947, in the real Tailholt, and it was not in Northwestern, but Northeastern, between Stillwell and Tahlequah, and south of Titanic, halfway toward Gore, Oklahoma. It has been there as Tailholt long before I was born, in 1941. This community was very much alive and well back in 1947, with a Swepton's filling station and food store, one Methodist church north of the junction, and my mother and father's Four Square Gospel church, right at this junction, of farm to market roads of E0813, D0818, and N4590. I am writing my life's book, and have many stories to tell about this area, and the people, and about Tahlequah, and about the great indians of the region, including Houston B. Tee Hee, that I, as a child, help him and his wife with their barnyard duties at their mansion. I visited in the home and spoke many times to the great man, Houston, and looked at many of his law books. I am currently at home on vacation, writing my book, because I need to get this information out as soon as possible, for a possible movie. But first, I need this book written, well and accurate." -- C.
