Okie's NW Corner

We did not get 6-inches of snow last weekend, but we did get a couple of inches. The 6-inches-plus of that wet, snowmen, snowball snow came our way during the mid-week. It's been cold ever since. I think Winter has made a comeback.

Some of you NW Oklahoma Woods Countians might remember this glimpse of Woods County's Old Courthouse fountain from way back in the days of the Old Courthouse square. Sandie sent me a couple of pictures of the old fountain that finds it's new home in Albuquerque, New Mexico in a private courtyard of a former Waynoka High School graduate. There is another picture in the Mailbag Corner below. Click the photo for a larger view. Does it sort of look familar yet?

I was going through some friend's genealogy papers the other day trying to help sort through papers for some family history to put into the 2nd Edition of the Alfalfa County History book that is being re-written. Many of the descendants of Oklahoma Territory started their origins from the Virginias, especially around Augusta County, Virginia and Greenbrier County. The John Andrew Clark family was one those families that settled in Oklahoma Territory. Just in case some of you had ancestors that fought in the Virginia's during the Civil War -- you might be interested in The Battle of Droop Mountain that I have been transcribing all this week and have stuck over on our NW OkieLegacy website.
