Town History Found In Tree Blazers Document
Some of our “old timers”
will remember the Tree Blazer
organization. Its membership
comprised only those who were
located in Holdenville the first
year of the town’s existence.
Later on the children of those
members carried on the organization. We are not sure when
the Tree Blazer disbanded.
We recently found an article
from December of 1944 about
not only the organization but
also our town.
DECEMBER 3, 1944
“HOW AND BY WHOM
HOLDENVILLE, OKLAHOMA WAS FOUNDED”
TWON-SITE OPENING”
(Compiled at request and under auspices of the Tree-Blazers)
These statements have been
compiled and written by members of the Tree Blazers Organization and have been signed by
these three men; Jack Brittian,
G.R. Roderick and John Jacobs,
accepting the facts herein stated
as to be absolutely true and correct.
“Time waits for no man” is an
old adage and is the inspiration
behind the writing of this article,
as these men, we realize, will
not have many more years to
be with us, and we have desired
for several years to have written
their version of the founding of
the town of Holdenville for the
files of our organization, whose
membership is comprised only
of those who located here the
first year of the town’s exis-
tence, 1895 and 1896, or their
families. It is for the younger
members of our organization as
well as the youth and later residents that the accurate story of
our town’s history is given here.
I will relate first, the version as
given by our esteemed member,
Jack Brittian, who I believe had
more inside information regarding the location of the town than
any other person.
The Choctaw Coal and Railway Company, now the Rock
Island, started the building of
their railroad from what was
then called “Wister Junction” to
McAlester, IT, and on to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma TerriThis is a copy of the article
tory in the year of 1890. Jack
published in the Holdenville
Brittian and his brother had the
Daily News Dec. 3, 1944
contract to build all of the stone
masonry from Wister Junction
“TREE BLAZERS COMto McAlester.
At that time a man by the

War. She is pictured with Bob Cleghorn.
BY EYE-WITNESSES TO
name of Major Shelenburger was chief engineer for the
Railway company, and being
a friend of the Brittian brothers, showed them the blue print
of the newly proposed line and
told them a town would be located where what is now known
as Pecan Grove community and
advised them it might be profitable to them if they would lease
a lot of land there and later have
it surveyed into city lots. The
Brittian brothers did this but the
financial panic of 1890jheld up
the construction of the road until
the later part of 1893 and 1894.
By that time Major Shelenberger had died and a new man
sent to take up the unfinished
work. Underbrush and weeds
had covered the stakes driven by
Shelenberger’s crew and it was
Jack Brittian who was familiar
with the line as surveyed and
marked by the first crew who
piloted Mr. Otis, the new chief
engineer, over the route as first
surveyed.
Mr. Otis returned as far as
Calvin and there he changed the
course of the old line so that it
came through this vicinity and
then the railway town site comTHE DESCENDENTS OF CHARLIE JACOBS ARE PICTURED ABOVE: (front row) Jean Jacobs Carpenter, Tina Riley, Anna pany was sent out to locate now

for a location and then a surveying crew was sent here by the
town site company on the first
day of September 1895. This
was the crew that laid the town
out straight with the railroad instead of straight with the world.
This crew camped on what is the
lots back of where the Stanford
Drug Store now stands. Jack
Brittian states that the surveying
crew camped here about a week
and this statement is corroborated by John Jacobs who, together
with his father’s family, held
possession of the land on which
the town had been located, they
being members of the Creek Indian Tribe.
Upon being advised by Mr.
Otis of the change as to where
the town site would be located,
the Brittians contacted Mr. Frank
Jacobs (now deceased) and John
Jacobs and made arrangements
to move their families near the
new location. Their temporary
home was located between the
city limits and where Newman
Jacobs now lives west of town.

Those of us whose hearing is not quite as good as it used to
be will appreciate the following. Regan Rose writes . . .
I knew that my husband’s hearing had deteriorated after our
friend – new to the city – asked where he could meet some
singles.
“Well,” said my husband, “I see them in the Wal Mart parking
lot diving for fries.”
“Dear,” I intervened. “Singles, not seagulls.”

Hearing is not the only thing failing in my life . . . there is
also the memory problems. I can identify with Ann Luman

7:30 - 5:30
For all your
saddle, boot and
shoe repair!
Just a note to send my greetings,
Let you know I’m still alive,
Though I’m getting more forgetful,
Things just seem to slip my mind.
I fuss and fret and try to think,
But all that comes to me
Is pain between my eyeballs –
My head hurts terribly!
I walk into the bathroom
To retrieve a headache pill.
There I stand, listing my options,
Wondering what I’m doing here.
I back into the hallway,
“Start all over,” I suggest.
Then, remembering what I needed,
I head back toward the shelf.
But once more, memory fails me,
“Why am I here?” I ask.
Then my eye falls on my toothbrush,
And I take my dentures out.
Still, it seems like there was something else . . .
“What could it be?” I pose.
Then I fill the tub with water
And sit down awhile to soak.
“This isn’t it,” I tell myself.
“I come for something more.”
Then I spy the scales and, dripping wet,
Stride quickly ‘cross the floor.
I step onto the circular disk
And struggle hard to see
The number on the dial below “Where could my glasses be?”
I step into the bedroom
Where I’m sure my specs I’ll find,
But standing there beside the bed,
I just cannot decide
Why I’ve come here – did the phone ring?
Then I see the looking glass
Good heavens! I’m stark naked!
I’d better get dressed – fast!
I step up to the closet,
Pull the chain to flick, the light.
My nightgown hangs before me.
“Oh! It’s time to say good night.”
I slip into my nightie
As I hum a sleep-tight song,
Pull the covers up around me –
But wait! There’s something wrong.
It’s the sun. It’s at my window!
How could day arrive so soon?
Then I spy the clock and blink my eyes.
“For heaven’s sake! It’s noon!”
I hurry to the bathroom,
Since I’m running for behind.
There I stand, listing my options,
Wondering what I came to find.
I see this note I started –
Now I can’t remember when.
“I’ll finish it, right now, right here –
If I can find a pen.”
I shuffle to the kitchen
Where by chance I come upon
A recipe for turnips.
But, my stars! This type is small.
But my focus is so bad,
A pain streaks o’er my temples –
Creates misery in my head.
I walk into the bathroom
To retrieve a simple pill . . .
It all seems so familiar –
What AM I doing here?
—CC—
And last of all, my favorite “memory story”
One of our readers recently told me, “My memory is starting
to go. I locked the keys in my car the other day.
“Fortunately, I had forgotten to get out first.”

Town History Found In Tree Blazers Document
Continued from Page 2
When it was definitely known
that this was to be the town
site selected by the railway
company, two early day “Indian Traders” who had country
stores near the site at once decided to move their buildings
and stock of merchandise to the
new location. They were G.B.
Roderick and John Marks. Mr.
Roderick’s store was located
near what is now lake Holdenville and he had a post office in
the store building. The post office was called Fentress and his
brother-in-law, the late Charles
Allen, was postmaster. John
Mark’s trading post was located near what is now the Bilby
community.
These men made immediate contact with the two Jacobs
men and made the necessary
arrangements prior to moving their stores. The surveying
crew had completed the surveying of town lots and stakes
had been driven and it was the
railway’s surveying crew who
laid the town out with the railroad instead of straight with the
world.
The Jacobs men gave Mr.
Roderick and Mr. Marks “quit
claim possession” to lots (Deeds
could not be given) because the
land was still under government restrictions. This was to
encourage them their moving
their stores to the new town. It
so happened that George Roderick was at liberty to move his
personal belongings and stock
of merchandise to the new town
but the post office could not be
moved without the consent of
the Postal Department at Washington, D.C.
George Roderick was tearing
down and moving the lumber in
his store building to the lots given to him while he was awaiting
the consent of the Postal Department to move the post office.
The lots given to Mr. Roderick
are the ones where the Franklin
Variety Store now stands.
During the moving and building process of the Roderick
store, a tent was pitched on
the lots where the Amos Drug
Store now stands and merchandise brought up from his store
was sold from this tent and his
brother-in-law, Dick Allen and
M.P. Embach camped in this
tent. While J.N. Marks had
been given the corner lot that
is now the Stanford Drug Store
and directly across the street
from the Chesnutt Hardware
Store is now; (the Lee Weatherred Store stands on these lots
at the present time). He did not
move his stock of merchandise
for several weeks.
By this time the rails were
laid this far and work trains
were coming in. The building
of the Choctaw Coal Railway
Company (later the Choctaw,
Oklahoma and Gulf, and still
later, The Rock Island) was
under the supervision of A.W.
Scott, and his camp and railroad
commissary was moved along
the line as work progressed
until they reached this location
where they permanently located
and built the first rock building in this town. The first work
train that came in brought with
it Mrs. Bill Burke, wife of the
foreman of the section crew, and
she brought with her enough
groceries and provisions to last
the section crew several days,
thus the section house, or a temporary one had already been
established, which substantiates the fact that the town had
already been located here by
the railroad company. George
McShan came in on a later train
and bought a fifty foot corner
lot for himself and his business
partner, Henry Rankin, from
John Jacobs, directly across the
street from the lots already given to John Marks. The building
erected by Mr. McShan as soon
as a shipment of lumber could
be gotten was being built at the
same time the Roderick Store
was under construction, and
both were completed about the
same time although Mr. Roderick had acquired his lots several
weeks earlier before trains were
running on the new track and he
was selling merchandise from a
tent.
The new town site had been
named by Frank Jacobs as
‘Echo’ meaning deer, in the Indian language and for several
weeks went by that name, but
the business men who had increased daily in number decided it would be nice to honor the
traffic manager of the new railroad to name the town for him.
By this time the post office at
Fentress had received permission to move the office to the
new location, but the changing
the name of a government post
office was another question to
be decided by the postal department, and them alone, and such
questions are decided through
correspondence between the
postal department and the postmaster of the post office in
question.
By this time Charles Allen
had resigned and Mrs. Roderick
had been appointed post-mistress. A petition was circulated
to the citizens by Mr. Roderick
to have the name of the town
changed to Holden and Mrs.
Roderick filled out an application blank and mailed it to the
postal department in Washington D.C. requesting the name
be changed to Holden. The
application was returned to the
post-mistress stating the name
could not be accepted because
it would conflict with another
town in the Indian Territory by
the name of Holder in the Cherokee Nation. When the rejected
application was returned to the
office, it was George Roderick
who took a pen and added the
letters “ville” to that of Holden
and the same application was
returned and this time is was accepted—and this is the authentic story of the founding and
naming of Holdenville and is
hereby accepted and signed by
the three men above mentioned
who are the last living men who
located here prior to the running
of trains into our town.
In the course of several years
Mr. McShan acquired possession of the rest of the lots in the
block where his fifty foot corner lot that he had bought from
John Jacobs was and has for
many years owned the entire
block.
We are writing this for the sole
purpose of giving our younger
members of the “Tree Blazers”
organization the authentic history of the naming and founding of the town of Holdenville
and we have no desire to create
controversy between any other
person or persons who may be
inclined to claim honor and
glory as the founder or founders
of our fine little city, but to distribute it to the men to whom it
rightfully belongs and to place
the correct story in our files.
Editor’s note—the author of
this authentic and verified story of the founding of Holdenville acknowledges with thanks
the assistance and cooperation
received from Messers John
Jacobs, George Roderick,
W.J. Brittian and Mrs. Callie
Schaff, and everyone who in
any way assisted in verifying
the facts herein recited.
ARMY NURSE RECALLS
EXPERIENCES
She treated traumatic patients
of all ages from both sides during the Korean War.
Taken from Nov. 11, 2013
Tulsa World
Anna Jacobs King joined the
Army Nurse Corps because she
wanted to travel.
At 24, she signed up and was
accepted to the Jan. 1, 1950,
training class. King, who goes
by Jake, was initially told she
would be going to Okinawa,
Japan, but those orders were
rescinded.
“Everybody’s speculation
was that we were going to Korea. They didn’t tell us,” she
recalled during a recent interview at her Okmulgee home on
Muscogee (Creek) tribal land.
King wore a custom-made
vest—green with gold piping,
a large Army emblem on the
back, patches and pins showing
her service and Native American heritage—given to her by
a friend as she welcomed a
Tulsa World reporter last week.
A framed poster highlighting
Muscogee (Creek) military service members and featuring her
photo hung proudly above her
left shoulder on the living room
wall.
King served in the Nurse
Corps in 1950 and 1951, during
the Korean War.
She said she boarded ship after reporting to Fort Benning,
GA, and San Francisco and
set sail only to be stalled off
the coast of Korea for several
days.
“We couldn’t get in, we had
to back out because the tide
was going back out,” she said.
“And the tide stayed out 10
days and we went back in.”
They arrived to find ailing
rice farmers and others who’d
been awaiting medical attention
for days. King worked mostly
in an evacuation hospital that
received patients from the mobile army surgical hospital on
the front lines.
“We started setting up the
hospital, but there were already
patients waiting,” King said.
“And they couldn’t believe it
when they saw us. Of course
they needed the help. They
said ‘Just take the worst ones
first.’”

King, now 88, treated traumatic injuries in patients both
American and Asian and of all
ages, including infants.
Even though opposing forces
were “the enemy,” she felt sorry for them, she said.
American troops were beset with worms despite having
been warned about consuming
Korean produce. The parasites
were some of her most vivid
memories, as was the cold.
“It was bad for the troops,”
she said. “It snowed in November and the sun was out
every day and that snow never
melted.”
Antibiotics and other supplies
were slow to arrive and surgeons
were made to use antiquated instruments sometimes, she said.
She described the hospital as
“bare straits . . . you had to do
the best you could.”
King said she wasn’t entirely surprised by the horrors of
war—she knew to expect anything—but that head wounds
were a particular cause of concern for her.
“I was just flabbergasted because they would be sucking the
brains out and you don’t know
how much was left,” she said.
King returned to the United
States in July 1951. She continued working for the Nurse
Corps and also served in Panama in the late 1970’s.
The Korean War began on
June 25, 1950, when North Korea invaded South Korea. It
ended with the signing of the
Korean Armistice Agreement,
which created the Korean Demilitarized Zone, on July 27,
1953.
A total of 36,574 Americans
died while serving in the Korean War, according to the Department of Defense.

Vida went to her Heavenly
home on January 5, 2014 in
Lawton.
Vida Wynona Davault Turman Lee was born September
16, 1923 in Asher, Oklahoma to
Martin and Gertrude Davault.
She attended school in Asher
and then moved to Lexington with her family where she
graduated in 1941. After high
school, she was employed with
Southwestern Bell and during
the war worked at Douglas Air
Craft Plant as “Rosie the Riveter”. After the war was over,
Vida met and married George
(G. H.) Turman, August 1945,
in Noble and to this union 3
children were born, Stephen
Ray, Terrell George, and Karen
Wynonia. G.H.’s employment
with City Service took them to
several communities where she
worked at various other occupations. After Vida’s retirement,
she volunteered with the Lindsay Senior Citizens, Food Bank,
and delivered meals to senior
citizens. Because of Vida’s wonderful volunteer work, she was
named Beta Sigma Phi Woman
of the Year in 1991. After G.H.’s
death in 1992, Vida married Orel
Lee, October 2001, in Noble.
Vida loved her church and
was a member of the Lindsay
Free Will Baptist where she
taught children’s Sunday school
and vacation Bible School. Later she moved to Noble where
she attended
Skyridge Free
Will
Baptist. Vida was
a
wonderful
Christian example to all.
She
loved
working in the
yard, cooking
for her family (her nickname was Mrs.
