70th Reunion for HHS Seniors of 1944
The Year was 1944. World
War II was still raging and
the seniors of Holdenville
High School had just graduated. It is now 70 years later
and we thought it would be
fun to look back at their senior year. Here is the Campus Review from 1943-44.
CAMPUS REVIEW
The school year started off
with a bang of enthusiasm
on the 13th day of September
1943 but that tang turned
into a little dud about two
weeks later after the studies
were under way and the new
faces, figures and physiques
had became commonplace
things about the halls. Two
of the new figures have
stayed throughout the school
year. Trey and Sunny Hawkins and Jean Sudderth. Two
physiques have also stayed
and contributed quite a bit to
our football and basketball
team. They are Monk Lucas
and Bob Herring.
The F.H.O. was the first
organization to start functioning, sponsored by Mrs.
Veach. Then the pep club
was organized and three of
the prettiest girls were elect-
ed cheerleaders. They were
Georgia Kirkpatrick, Martha Washington and Rose
Marie Moore; also three
equally pretty and capable
assistant cheerleaders were
selected. They were Shirley
Akins, Vivian Adams, and
Bonnie Lee. The student
council election came next
and this campaign became
one of the hottest campaigns
for student council president that has ever been held
in HHS. Those running for
President were GEORGIA
KIRKPATRICK, VIVIAN
ADAMS, FRANK CRANE
AND DALE MIDDLETON, the latter winning
the title of President by a
good margin. Helen Sipe
succeeded in getting Vice
President and BURR BOY
KINCAID, the honest Abe
of Holdenville, was elected
Sec. and Treas.
One of the finest of Student Press Staffs was chosen next. It was headed by
Georgia K. and Ollie Lou
Prothro.
Those who first decided
to go off on the steady end

USED TRUCKS, CARS, VANS AND UTILITY VEHICLES HAVE BEEN BROUGHT IN

This past week I ran across “The Little Book of
Whittling.” It reminded me of the “good old days”,
when the “Spit & Whittle” club would gather almost
every day outside of our local courthouse. There was
more spitting then whittling, along with a lot of great
stories.
In my growing-up days, I lived just one block from
the courthouse and would often walk over to watch
what those old timers were doing and listen to their
conversation. It was exciting for this youngster to be
around these folks and times that I will never forget.
The “Spit & Whittle” club has been gone for many
years but the memories remain.
I do not remember the last time I saw anyone whittle.
Like many other things, whittling may just be a memory
from the “good old days.”
—CC—
Speaking of memories, this is my favorite time of the
year . . . the time for school reunions.
This year my Class of ’65 will be joining the Class
of ’64 in hosting a Junior-Senior Prom like we had in
high school. You will see formals from the 1960s and
white sport coats and music from the 1950s and 60s
with Ronnie Kaye. Many of you will remember that he
was one of the great KOMA DJs many years ago.
I am looking so forward to this trip down Memory
Lane.
—CC—
Speaking of “Memory Lane”, how many of you
remember . . .
When the worst thing you could do at school was
smoke in the bathrooms, flunk a test or chew gum. Girls
wore skirts that had to touch the floor when you were on
your knees, boys wouldn’t be caught dead with baggy
pants or holes in their clothes and NOBODY had to wear
a backpack.
And the banquets were in the cafeteria and we danced
to a juke box later, and all the girls wore pastel gowns
that wouldn’t dare show cleavage and the boys wore
suits for the first time and we were allowed to stay out
until 12 p.m.
When a ’57 Chevy was everyone’s dream car . . . to
cruise, peel out, lay rubber and watch drag races.
And people went steady . . . girls wore a Saint
Christopher or her boyfriend’s class ring with an inch
of yarn so it would fit her finger. Boys didn’t have to
wear anything because everybody just “knew” he was
her steady.
And no one every asked where the car keys were ‘cause
they were always in the car, in the ignition, and the doors
were never locked. And you got in big trouble if you
accidentally locked the doors at home since no one ever
had a key.
Remember lying on your back on the grass with your
friends and saying thing like “That cloud looks like a . .
.“
Remember “ditch’em”, street football, four wheel
skates that attached with a key you wore around your
neck with a piece of yarn? Remember you could play all
the way to the end of the street without mom worrying.
And playing baseball with no adults to help kids with
the rules of the game. Back then, baseball was not a
psychological group learning experience – it was a
game.
Remember when stuff from the store came without
safety caps and hermetic seals ‘cause no one had yet
tried to poison a perfect stranger.
And . . . with all our progress . . . don’t you just wish .
. . just once . . . you could slip back in time and savor the
slower pace . . . and share it with the children of the 80s
and 90s . . .
Or visit with someone who can still remember Nancy
Drew, The Hardy Boys, Laurel & Hardy, Howdy
Doody and The Peanut Gallery, The Lone Ranger, The
Shadow Knows, Nellie Belle, Roy and Dale, Trigger
and Buttermilk, as well as the sound of a real mower on
Saturday morning and summers filled with bike rides,
playing in cowboy land, baseball games, bowling and
visits to the neighbors’ pool . . .
And sneaking into the cupboard to eat Kool-Aid
powder . . . and bread with sugar as an afternoon snack.
When being sent to the principal’s office was nothing
compared to the fate that awaited a misbehaving student
at home.
Basically, we were in fear for our lives, but it wasn’t
because of drive-by shootings, drugs, gangs, etc. Our
parents and grandparents were a much bigger threat!
But we all survived because their love was greater than
the threat.
I am glad I grew up in the good old days!
—CC—
Overheard at one recent reunion . . .
As we get older, we tend to slow down. One day a man
stepped on a snail and his friend asked him why he did
that. He said, “That thing has been following me around
all day long.”
—CC—
I have heard some senior citizens say that their
memory is not as good as it used to be. That is not the
case with me. In fact, my wife says I even remember
things that never happened.

in acquiring football heroes
were Joy Hawkins, Bobby

and Rose Marie Moore. The
boys and girls quartettes were
now organized. The girls
quartette consisted of ETTA
JOHNSON,
VIRGINIA
BURCH, JUNE ARNOLD,
and GEORGIA KIRKPATRICK. The Boys Quartette
was made up of BOBBY APPLE, DALE MIDDLETON,
HOWARD THOMASON
AND BENNY SMITH.
The first social event of the
Season was a siener roast,
given in honor of the football
boys by the Pep Club. This
was the night the DOROTHY
FENNELL had four big husky football bruisers escorting
her. Then came DOROTHY
JEAN’S party. That was the
night that that first gleam
came in brother George
Carl’s eyes for the Girl About
Town, Anna Eelle McNutt. It
was also about that time that
Anna Belle had those two
Shawnee girls down to visit
and did Charles Hays have a
time. After a bloody, boisterous Senior Class Meeting the
Senior Class rings and announcements were chosen.
Also about this time was held
the annual Bond Auction in
which $2,673.25 was finally
raised.
That Turkey and Cranberry
Sauce must have done something so Pat O’Neil because
right after the Thanksgiving
Holidays he started going
with Patti Hugil. December
was filled with parties, programs and dances. Miss Livingston arranged one of the
finest and prettiest Christmas
programs which exceeded all
expectations. After the Rainbow Formal on New Years
Eve all of the Holiday spirits were drained to the last
drop.
In January the boys started getting patriotic by joining various reserves. Those
boys joining throughout the
year were Bill Shipman, Naval Reserve; Dale Middleton, Naval Reserve; Charles
Hays, Naval Reserve; Bobby Apple, Army Air Force
Reserve; Claude Chappell,
AAFR; Raymond Tassin,
Naval Reserve; Jack Alt,
AAFR; and Glenn Thomas,
AAFR.
Those gaining the title of
Queen throughout the year
were Georgia Kirkpatrick—
Football Queen. She was
crowned by Capt. Ralph
(Sonny) Oliphant, now in the
Navy. Lois Graham—Smile
Queen. She was crowned by
Howard Thomason. And last
and not least, Ramona Barton, Carnival Queen; she was
crowned by Eddie Nance.
The basketball season
wasn’t quite as successful as
the football season but the
boys were trying. The last
game of football was over
the the worst disappointment
of the year was experienced.
The defeat dealt by the Ada
boys. (Spirits were somewhat raised after the game
at the Silver Dollar). The
girls made a sudden rush to

succeeding in getting men
and the men they got are Billie Buckley—Burr Kincaid,
Shirley
Baldwin—Boyd
McGugan, Jean Sudderth—
Bob Herring, Pattie Hugill—
Boone Pickens, Pat Renfrow—Jimmy Thomason.
The biggest event in February was the Band festival and
dance in Wewoka. At this
event local bandsmen and ladies had a roaring good time
. . . Many a girl and boy let
their hair down. There were
handsome Drum Majors and
beautiful Short Skirted majorettes for everyone.
The Junior Play “The
Great Ben Allah” was quite
a success under the capable
supervision of Mrs. Daniels.
Jean Thomas and Gene Huser took the leading parts.
Clubs that were responsible for most of the parties,
dances and good time are
the KKK, Avenir, G.L.D.,
F.H.O., Dagawcks, H Club,
and the Rainbow organization.
As spring appeared and the
snow melted down to two
feet and temperatures went
up to zero, a strange reaction
started taking place in the
faces and actions of the students, the boys whistles became more pronounced and
louder and the girls handkerchiefs began to drop more often. Billy Dale began to head
towards Seminole almost
every day and many a fine
lad and lass started wandering toward Wewoka. Those
coupling and cooing about
this time were: Benny Smith
and Joy Elaine Phillips, Jerry McWilliams and Jeanie
Thomas, Boone Pickens and
Genevieve Moore and Gene
Huser and Margaret Morse.
Two girls had affixed the title
of Mrs. to their names. They
are now Mrs. June Doup Arnold and Mrs. LaNell Fream
Gordon.
Frequent goers to the
regular Wewoka hangout
throughout the year were
James Sexton, Burr Kincaid.
Herring and Bearden Incorporated, J.C. Waldroup, Ray
Petete, and Jimmy Littrell.
Also Sue George, Bonny Lee
and many others.
Music Week started off
with the band concert which
to Public Opinion was the
best concert yet presented by
the Holdenville Band. Student Directors were Howard
Thomason, Bobby Apple,
Dale Middleton and Martha
Washington. The Music department presented a very
fine program. A great deal
of tribute is owed to Miss
Livingston and to her department for the many programs
which they have arranged
throughout the school year.
Senior day was enjoyed immensely and the Seniors really made the most of it. It
was completed by a dance
in the Civic Center.
The Senior football game
was one of the outstanding
sports events of the year. The
seniors were beaten 26-0 but
the next year’s team got all
the breaks of course.

Continued from Page 5
on her third finger, left hand.
The seniors prophesied that
HELEN
CARPENTER
would live up to her name by
having three “little shingles”.
The sophomore class will
never forgive GIVE JONES
for leaving their candidate for
Carnival Queen, LUCILLE
GILLILAND, without an escort, because he ‘had to go to
work’. All in all, the Senior
of ’44 will have many pleasant memories to take with
them from HHS. Remember
Sadie Hawkin’s week, back
in November? That assembly program when BOYD
McGUGAN was elected
Little Abner and DIXIE SISSON, Daisy Mae? They
were crowned with a bonnet
and straw hat . . . all those
hilarious Wednesday morning assembly programs. ALFRED STEVENSON’S original skit about Ermitroid, the
fire bug, took the cake. And
the skits for pep assemblies.
Remember the one SHIRLEY AKINS wrote when
the girls played the part of
the Wewoka football boys?
Of course, the speech class
plays must be mentioned.
The one when TOMMIE
LOU POGUE acted the part
of a hillbilly sheriff? “Who
Murdered Who”, when JERRY McWILLIAMS not only
played the part of detective
(defective) but also furnished
sound effects. Remember
that banquet the Home Ec
girls cooked and served?
EMMA LOU TOLBERT’S
hot rolls made quite a hit.
BURR KINCAID stole the
show (in the junior play).
OLLIE LU PROTHRO was
carrying a torch for JIMMY
BENNETT, of Okla. City,
but it now seems to be fore
ALFRED STEVENSON.
The Junior Class is bragging
because its former classman,
ARMELDA KAY is Valedictorian of the class of ’44.
FOOTBALL by Bill Shipman
The football Wolverines
had one of their finest seasons last year and if all the
boys fulfill the promise they
showed during the four week
spring session, next fall
should bring another spectacular team.
The Wolverines were hit
rather hard by the draft and
graduation—losing
Gale
Secrest, outstanding ball carrier last year; Wesley Green,
triple threat Indian tail back;
Johnson Harjo, fine Indian
Guard; Jimmy Moeller, outstanding tackle; Spencer
Petete, another fine tackle;
Howard Thomason, one of
the best quarterbacks in the
Conference last year; Clyde
Eurd, huge lineman and a
good extra point man; and
Ralph Oliphant big “ALLSTATE” end.
However, the Wolverines still retain several good
boys and next years team
will probably be composed
of the following players:
Buck Benham, one of the
state’s best fullbacks; Jimmy
Thomason, fleet Sophomore
halfback; Joe Ingram, promising freshman halfback; and
Buddy Jones a triple threat
from Maud.
In the line the Wolverines
are fairly strong with Boyd
McGugan at center, being
the outstanding man; Littrell
and Smith are the guards;
Herring and Kincaid hold
down the tackle spots and the
end positions are held down
very capably by big Tommy
Roberts and the fleet, passsnatching Monk Lucas.
Other squadmen who show
promise are Jimmy Johnson,
Bob McConville, Richard
Wall, Wendell Smith, Bill
Lowder, Clifford Jones,
Robert Giles, Leo King,
Bobby Williams, Carl McMichael, Don Hamilton, and
a host of other young eighth
and ninth graders who may
develop into surprisingly
good football material.
School officials have succeeded in obtaining a very
capable replacement for
Coach Buck Buchanan in
C.J. Powell, former East
Central Coach, and everyone is looking forward to
seeing the Wolverines in ac-
tion next fall.
BASKETBALL by Jimmy
Littrell
The Wolverines started
things off last season in a
thrilling way by downing the
Wetumka “Chiefs” 24-23.
The local lads were weak on
defense and shorter that the
visitors. This shortness was
a handicap to the team all
year. In a return game at Wetumka, the Wolverines lost,
Bob Herring showed the fans
just what he was going to do
by scoring 14 points.
The Wolverines had not
yet found themselves when
they lost a closely contested
game with McAlester 24-20
in an overtime. This was our
first Conference game. The
next game, however, they really found the range, and on
a slippery floor proceeded to
blast their old rivals off the
court. Score: Holdenville 32,
Wewoka 31. The boys didn’t
do so well in the return game
with Wewoka; however, they
went down fighting. Score
26-23. In a return game with
McAlester the boys scored
only 5 points in the first half,
the final score was 28-23 in
McAlester’s favor. To Henryetta “The Invincible” they
lost 42-25. The “Hens” had
the range and the Wolverines simply didn’t! The boys
were overrun by Seminole
43-28; the “Chieftains” had
an air-tight defense. At Ada
the Wolverines were clipped
out of it. Trailing at the half
18-11, they came back and
led the game until in the end
when a wild shop tied the
game up. In an overtime on
a foul Ada forged ahead and
in the closing seconds won
the game 37-34.
Then the mighty “Hens”
came here to play a return
game, but they found a lot
stronger, more determined
team than before. Vernon
Grubb, their all-state guard
proved too much for the
Wolverines; he scored 12
points. Final score: 36-26.
Again the Wolverines tried
Seminole’s defense but with
no avail; they went down,
scrapping in a rough and
tumble game 43-25.
When Ada came here for
our return game, the boys
were prepared. The boys
were going strong all through
the game and their defense
was perfect. Score 27-19 in
Wolverines favor.
After finishing their regular season the Wolverines
went to the regional tournament at Henryetta. In a
rough and fouling game the
Wolverines lost Carne and
Herring in the second quarter and Pickens in the third.
However, against a tall team,
the tallest in the state, they
made a good showing and
went down 27-19. Watch for
a championship team next
year!
The Wolverines of ’44 of
HHS did not have a record on
paper that was very outstanding, but as the scores show,
our boys were out there fighting to the last whistle. The
Wolverines won three games
and lost ten, two of which
were overtime games. The
team this year was young and
not very experienced. The
boys were coached by Waldo
Buck Buchanan, the football
coach. There were only two
seniors on the team this year;
Frank Crane and Bill Smith.
Frank played center and was
the tallest man on the team.
The blonde-headed number
“99” pulled the Wolverines
out of more than one “tight
spot”.
Bill Smith, black-headed
number “44” has played on
the team since “41. He and
Crane were members of the
famed “suicide squad” as
sophomores and were members of the STATE CHAMPIONSHIP team. These two
boys will soon be leaving
to become members of the
armed forces.
The team this year was
composed largely of Junior
such as: Boyd McGugan
(captain), slim football center who does pretty well at
basketball; Murl Lucas, the
smartest boy in school; Murl
and Bob Herring scored more
points than any other two on
the team. Ralph Buchanan,
red-headed number “66” saw
quite a bit of action in the
“B” games and incidentally,
the “B” team was all-victorious in their TWO games of
the season.
Next year with Buddy
Jones, and lettermen such
as: Herring, Lucas, Littrell,
McGugan, Thomason, Kincaid, Buchanan, and Roberts,
the Wolverines will really go
to town.
Service Held for Richard Lee O’Shields
Richard Lee O’Shields, 87,
passed away Thursday, February
13, 2014, at his home in Kerrville,
TX. He was born August 12,
1926, in Ozark, AK, and grew up
in Okmulgee, OK. He received
a B.S. in mechanical engineering
from the University of Oklahoma
in 1949 and an M.S. in petroleum
engineering from Louisiana State
University in 1951. O’Shields
is a retired chairman and chief
executive officer (CEO) of Panhandle Eastern Corporation. He
served in the United States Army
Air Corps during World War II.
While at OU, O’Shields met
Shirley Isabelle Washington of
Holdenville, whom he married
in 1947. They spent a wonderful
63 years together until Shirley’s
death in 2011. They had three
children, all surviving: Sharon
Boles of Del Rio, TX; Carolyn
O’Shields of Kerrville, TX; and
Rick O’Shields of Phoenix, AZ.
During the couple’s marriage they
were afforded the opportunity to
travel around the country and the
world. They moved to Kerrville
in 2000, where they were active members of the First United
Methodist Church. In addition to
the three children, O’Shields is
survived by five grandchildren,
eight great-grandchildren and
lots of nieces and nephews. He
is also survived by his beloved
in-laws; Martha (Washington)
Lucas and her husband Joe of
Holdenville; and Bettye (Washington) Dooly and her husband
Todd of Houston, TX.
O’Shields had a phenomenal
life and career. Upon receiving
his master’s degree from LSU,
he went to work for The Pure Oil
Company in Fort Worth, Texas.
In July 1953 he joined Salt Water Control, Inc. (SWATCO) as
chief engineer and vice president. O’Shields developed several systems and helped perfect
systems used in drilling. All of
these systems are in general use
on drilling rigs worldwide.
In 1960, he joined Panhandle
Eastern Pipe Line (PEPL) Company in Liberal, KS, as manager
of drilling and production. He
was in on the ground floor of the
formation of Panhandle subsidiary Anadarko Production Company, for which he was named
president in 1966, overseeing the
company’s expansion into all the
U.S. and Western Canada.
O’Shields was elected executive vice president of PEPL
in 1968 in charge of its Kansas
City, MO, operating headquarters. During this period, he conceived and directed the expansion of the Panhandle Eastern
supply base from the Anadarko
Basin into the Rocky Mountain
region. Mr. O’Shields became a
director in 1969 and transferred
to the executive headquarters in
Houston, Texas in 1970 when
he became president and chief
executive officer of the company. He was named chairman in
1979, stepped down as CEO in
1983, continued as chairman of
the board and member of a two-

The following was written by
Sharon Boles and read at her
Dad’s funeral.
I had a father who was a shining example of personal and professional success. And everything
was just more fun when Dad was
there. He loved life and his enthusiasm was catching. I couldn’t
have had a better role model!
Probably every little girl sees
her Daddy as a hero. I was in
awe of my father during my growing up years. He had a charisma
and magnetism that was amazing,
and the ability to make others feel
valuable and be better than they
knew they could be. From a very
young age I made up my mind
to do my best so I would never
disappoint him. He inspired me
to set goals much higher than I
would have, and then he encouraged me to break the goal down
into steps to accomplish it. It was
the engineer in him!
I had so much admiration for
Dad’s professional success. Little did I know that he was a true
“giant in the making” in the petroleum industry! His talent and
intelligence were profound, but he
truly was a natural genius when
it came to people skills. He could
talk with anyone, and he always
said “What makes a company
succeed is its people—ALL of
them.” He never knew a stranger; he was genuinely interested
in everyone he met, and Dad was
just as comfortable talking with
executives as he was with the oil
crews in the field. His commitment to excellence and personal
integrity were unblemished, and
he was so obviously the center of
my Mom’s and our universe!
Dad worked long hours but
Saturdays were special days with
the family, and he made us feel
like he had been waiting all week
just to throw a baseball, do a jigsaw puzzle, play games, or read a
book with us. You see, with Dad
the thing was—when he was with
you, he was really with YOU.
Sundays were for Sunday school
and church always. Dad was
easy to talk to about his faith, and
I will never forget the teas in his
eyes when I accepted Jesus into
my life. He hugged me tight and
told me I had just made the MOST
important decision of my life! It’s
faith that comforts me now but I
will miss him every single day.

HOLDENVILLE TRIBUNE—JUNE 11, 2014—PAGE 9
from
Dayna’s Desk
In honor of Father’s day,
I would like to share a very
interesting story about my good
friend Mary Cowart’s dad, who
passed away when Mary was 9
years old.
Mr. Robert Louis Kellogg
was born in Chicago in1913
and died of Hodgkins disease in
1953 at the age of 40. During
this short span of time he left
quite a legacy.
He was a member of the
Ed Gerlach Band and right after
the bombing of Pearl Harbor
on December 7, 1941, the band
entered the U.S. Army as a
group at Ellington Field near
Houston. He was stationed
various places in the United
States before going to Europe in
the summer of 1944. While he
was stationed in Montgomery,
Alabama he was waiting for his
orders to go to Salerno, Italy.
He left his wife at the hotel to
go and receive his instructions,
but when he got there they had
changed his orders and he was
sent to Camp Polk, Louisiana
instead. There were many
casualties in the battalion he
would have been in had he been
sent to Salerno. He joined the
11th Armored Division around
late 1943 or early 1944 and
served under Patton. He was
a chief warrant officer and the
director of the 11th Armored
Division Band.
After the war, Mr. Kellogg
was organist at St. Luke’s
Methodist Church in Houston,
Texas from 1946 up until his
death in 1953.
Mary’s dad wrote a lullaby
for her in February 1944 before
she was born in April 1944. It is
a cherished possession of hers.
We are printing a copy of the
original music score for you
to see. We thank you, Mary,
for sharing this story with our
readers. We know everyone is
going to enjoy it.

Speaking of Father’s Day,
I would like to wish my dad,
Charles Leewright, a Happy
Father’s Day. I don’t know what
I would do without him. He and
my mom help me so much with
a lot of my business.
Dad recently published his
second book, “The Buck Bush
Patch, The story of a backward
boy.” I am so proud of him.
He started this book when he
moved to Amarillo many years
ago, and worked on it off and on
throughout the years. The book
is written in fiction form, but
contains many true happenings
in his growing up years in the
Moss community.
Congratulations, Dad, and
Happy Fathers Day to the best
father a girl could ever hope to
have. You are a blessing to me
and my family.

I received a very interesting
email recently from a gentleman
named John Hyde. He was a very
close friend of Platt Holden’s,
grandson of James Holden,
the founder of Holdenville. We
certainly appreciate Mr. Hyde
sharing this information with
us as well as the pictures.
Dear Dayna,
I thought you might be
interested in an event that ties
in closely with the history of
Holdenville. As I’m sure you
know, the town was named
for James Franklin Holden
(1861 - 1932 -not sure of year
of death) who was in charge of
the building of the railroad that
passed through what became
Holdenville. Members of the
Holden family were invited to
attend the celebration of what
I believe was Holdenville’s
centennial. Among those came
to that event - enjoying himself
immensely - was a friend of
mine who was a grandson of
James F. Holden. His name
was Platt C. Holden, and we
were close friends for 75 years,
keeping in touch throughout
those years. Last week, Platt
died and I was asked to deliver
the eulogy which included a
reference to his heritage and
memories of his grandfather and
father, the latter having been
born in “Indian Territory”. I am
attaching a picture of James F.
Holden holding his grandson,
Platt, and a picture of Platt on
the cover of the Service Leaflet
prepared for his funeral. One
additional note - the two of us
were “prairie born” - Platt in
Kansas City [Missouri] and I
in Wichita, Kansas where my
grandfather [A.A. Hyde] came
as a young man in 1872, to join
the first group of people to settle
in Wichita, and became well
known throughout the area in
later years as the founder of the
product Mentholatum.

Here are a few more letters
we have received.
Hi Bill and Dayna!
Enclosed is my check for
one more year of the “Trib”.
Dayna, miss your column
and hope all is well with you.
Carolyn is doing pretty well
and the disease is progressing
slowly for now.
Mike Agan
Thank you, Mike. It is
always good to hear from you.
So happy to hear that Carolyn
is doing okay. We encourage
everyone to pray for Carolyn,
who was recently diagnosed
with Lou Gehrig’s disease.

Dear Bill and Dayna:
I truly enjoy every Tribune
newspaper I receive. And I
enjoyed reading your article on
Genealogy.
Well here is my genealogy
story—my cousin Chesley
Eason decided that we should
have an Eason Cousin Reunion
which took place on Sunday
before Memorial Day in
May 1995. Chesley bought
a computer program called
Family Tree Maker. He sent
out letters and forms to fill out
and return to him. And when
that Sunday is May of 1995
our family tree came together.
There were cousins, nieces,
nephews. My grand parents,
Gaberial Armstead Eason
married Melinda Catherine
“Kennedy” Eason; together
they raised 10 children all born
in Scotts Hill, Decauter County,
Tennessee.. There were five
boys and five girls. Gab and
Melinda decided to come to
Oklahoma. Their oldest son,
Charles stayed in Scott’s Hill,
TN. So, Gab and Melinda
along with nine children, Ethel
the baby was about a year old.
So with all nine children, Gab,
and Melinda came to Gopher—
Hobson Community North of
Wetumka by a team of fine
horses and a covered wagon.
They made their home in the
Gopher Hobson area. I believe
that there was a school there,
but I have not found any school
or church records. I do know
that there are school records at
the court house in Holdenville.
The children are in order
of birth—Charles, Armentha

“Minnie” (as she was called),
Jess, Arbie Idella (my
grandmother), Ollie Belle,
Lucy Mae, Omer, Perry, a son,
and Ethel.
Their home north of
Wetumka had a porch that
wrapped all the way around
the home. Well, my best friend
June Chancellor Johnson or
Granny or Grandma June. Well,
June came over to Wetumka to
the reunion and Chesley was
telling her about the Family
Tree Maker. So granny June
purchased the program.
So, a few days later, I
went up to my cousin Lonnie
McNeill, on my father’s side,
he gave me about a 40 pages
of where the McNeill’s were
traced. So June showed me
how it worked and I got Paul
Bolding to build me a computer
if I would trace his family tree
for him so I traced his Bolding
family back to Pohcatous who
married a Bolding.

so now I have my daddy’s

As for right now, I can’t do

Wow! we had 14 “Moon”
domonio players Monday
night. That means when you
loose, you get up and another
team takes your place! What
fun we had! Those playing
were Glenda Swift and Selma
Fitzhugh winning 4 games;
Leslie Griffin and Lynn Marquis winning 3 games; Glenda
Smith and Rusty Jones winning 3 games; Naomi Tomlinson and Joyce Yates winning 2
games; Jean Phillips and Sharon Dilday winning 4 games;
Geraldine Ingram and Shirley
Hardwick winning 6 games;
and Norma Summy and Sue
Wood winning 3 games.
Moon shooters were both
Sharon Dilday and Jean Phillips. The very first game, the
very first play Sharon shot the
moon and made it! We hadn’t
even got our chair warm when
we had to get up and wait for
someone else to lose. But that
didn’t take long either. Way to
go Sharon! And then before
the night was over, Jean Phillips shot the moon and made
it! Proud of you Jean! Our newest player said that
she hoped that she didn’t take
anyone’s spot and Shirley assured her that we didn’t have
any spots on us! LOL!!
Lynn brought brownies, Naomi brought Cracker
Jacks and popcorn and Norma brought an assortment
of miniature chocolate bars. Do you think that we had a
chocolate high? Whatever
it was, we had a good time!
Come and join us and see
what the fun was all about!! See ya then,

We have heard Meredith
talk about being a caddy at the
Holdenville Golf and Country
Club many times. We have also
heard him talk about “Coon”
Beall who was the owner of it
from many years.
We recently found a little
information about Mr. Beall.
Coming here in the late
1920’s as manager of a local
branch of the Ben Cooper Motor
Co., Beall later engaged in the
automobile business for himself.
Several years ago he took
over the Holdenville Golf and
Country Club, and converted
the club house into a unique
and comfortable home. He also
made extensive improvements
on the golf course which made it
one of the best nine-hole, grass
green courses in the state. For
years he was one of the city’s
best golfers.
When Meredith was in
school he used to caddy on
week-ends—He said there was
one local businessman that
every kid wanted to caddy for.
The reason? He drank a lot and
by the end of his golf game he
was feeling mighty good and
gave his caddy a good tip!
