cowboys
and cowgirls are
recognized
for their
contributions to the
sport of
rodeo. In
October of
2012, Stuart Oklahoma’s own Vicki Adams
was awarded the prestigious
Tad Lucas Memorial Award.
Tad Lucas began her rodeo
career in 1917 competing in
trick riding, bronc riding,
steer riding and relay racing.
For three consecutive years
Lucas won the $10,000 Met-
ro-Goldwyn-Mayer Trophy
at Madison Square Garden.
Lucas rode her last bronc in
1958 at Tulsa, Oklahoma. In
1968 she
was
inducted into
the Rodeo Hall
of Fame,
becoming
the first
cowgirl
to receive
that honor. Lucas
served as
the director of the
Rodeo
Historical Society for 10
years.
Following her death in 1990
Lucas left a financial gift to
the Rodeo Historical Society.
Her family and the Museum
used the funds to develop a
special award to recognize an
outstanding western woman
who is a champion in her field
of work, and demonstrates
the same creative spirit, zeal
and western values that Lucas lived throughout her life.
Vicki Adams, like Tad Lucas, began her rodeo career at
a young age following in the
footsteps of her father, Bill
Herrera, who himself was
preceded by three generations
of Indian rodeo contestants
and champions.
Vicki began performing as
a professional trick rider in
1996. In 1997 she married
Leon Adams and joined the
Professional Rodeo Cowboys
Association. Together the
couple formed one of the best
specialty acts in the business.
Not only was Vicki a top
1937 Interview
With G.W. McShawn
Discovered
G.W. McShawn was one of
the most well known early day
businessmen in Holdenville.
He owned a hardware store and
coffin business where Dynamic,
Inc. is now located. Recently,
we discovered an interview with
Mr. McShawn that the late Nettie Cain did with him in 1937.
We found it to be very interesting and hope our readers enjoy
it.
G.W. McShawn, Holdenville,
a white man, was born in Texas
in 1857 and came to the Indian
Territory settling near the present site of Holdenville, October
8, 1895.
The first trip from Oklahoma City to McAlester over
the Choctaw Railroad was on
Sunday, October 7, 1895. The
train was a mixed train carrying one coach for passengers.
And one Monday morning Mr.
McShawn left McAlester and
came to what was then Holden.
When he arrived there were no
buildings of any kind there.
However, he discovered that
the lots had been surveyed and
staked off for a townsite. He
then talked to some men who
were working on the railroad
and asked them who owned the
land where the townsite was
staked off and was told that
Frank Jacobs, the father of John
Jacobs, owned the land. He
then asked them where Mr. Jacobs lived and was told he lived
three miles north so Mr. McShawn started off.
Mr. McShawn finally found
Mr. Jacobs and bought seven
lots from him. He paid $75.00
for one corner lot and for six
others he paid $35.00 each.
Mr. Jacobs wanted the new
little city called Echo; but a man
named Holden living just west
of the town was trying to have
a townsite established so McShawn thought it best to name
the town Holden.
Mr. McShawn built a building, putting in some groceries,
hardware and lumber and wrote
to the freight agent at McAlester
asking that his freight be billed
to G.W. McShawn, Holden. The
agent wrote him that they had no
such place as Holden on the line
but finally Mr. McShawn made
the McAlester agent understand
the Holden was a new town.
Soon after Mr. McShawn
came to Holden, G.B. Roderick
moved his store from Fentress.
Fentress was just five miles
southeast of Holden. Charley
Allen was a clerk for G.B. Roderick and was appointed first
postmaster.
The post office department
named the little city Holdenville
as there was another small place
named Holder and a post office
had already been established
there and the names Holder and
Holden were so much alike that
there would always be danger of
getting the mail mixed.
Allen served a short time being succeeded by Mrs. G.B.
Roderick and a short time later
Roderick himself was appointed
postmaster.
M.P. Embach and Dick Allen came first with G.B. Roderick’s stock and camped with the
stock. However, that night Jack
Devalt arrived and camped on
their claim. Devalt remained in TOP — VICKI AND LEON ADAMS ARE PERHAPS THE MOST WELL KNOWN NATIONtown as laundry-man until one AL TRICK RIDING TEAM IN AMERICA. THEY HAVE PERFORMED BEFORE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE OVER THE YEARS. THE COUPLE LIVES IN

Quote of the week: When you’re 30, you believe your thinking is
so superior that you can create a way to get rich quick. By age 40,
you hope to get rich gradually. When you’re 50, you’re thankful
to keep up on the payments on your medical bills.

Speaking of money, a friend of mine recently shared the following
story . . . My wife is just impossible; she is always asking for money.
Last week she asked for $100, earlier this week she asked for $200,
and this morning she asked for $300.
A friend said, “My, that’s a lot of money. What does she do with
all of it?” The husband said, “I don’t know’ I never give her any.”
—CC—
And since I am on the topic of money today . . . This year
marks the 100th birthday of the nationwide income tax part of
the Constitution. There may be those that would like to wish the
income tax a happy birthday . . . I am not among them.
“From whatever source derived” indeed. Exactly 100 years ago
Sunday, on Feb. 3, 1913, Delaware became the 36th state to ratify
the proposed 16th Amendment, making a nationwide income tax
part of the Constitution. America had collectively decided that the
federal government could, henceforth, take Americans’ money “from
whatever source derived,” and decide, at a whim, how much to take
from each citizen. Ah. Just as the Founders intended!
The battle to take money earned by Americans had been long,
beginning at the outset of the Civil War. President Abraham Lincoln
needed to raise cash to fight the South, so Congress introduced the
income tax as part of the Revenue Act of 1861. Incomes above $800
annually ($20,370 in 2012 dollars) were taxed at 3 percent — yes,
America’s first income tax was a flat tax.
But that changed the very next year with the Revenue Act of 1862,
when Congress created a sliding scale (to take even more, especially
from those filthy rich). Incomes above $600 ($13,750 in 2012)
were taxed at 3 percent; incomes above $10,000 ($229,167) were
taxed at 5 percent. The act also declared that the income tax must
be “withheld at the source,” meaning employers were required to
remove the money from salaries paid to workers. Seems people
weren’t willingly sending in their hard-earned cash.
That year, the Commission of the Internal Revenue was born, but
it was to be short-lived: The act specifically set out that the income
tax would terminate in 1866. In a shocking turn never repeated in
American history, a tax created by Congress actually did expire.
But the Commission of the Internal Revenue didn’t disappear.
Congress had had a taste of that sweet, free money — endless cash
pouring in that we can spend however we want!
The Socialist Labor Party (surprise) pushed an income tax in 1887.
In 1894, Congress passed the Income Tax Act, the first in peacetime,
again setting a flat rate (of 2 percent). The tax hit only Americans
earning more than $4,000 ($105,769 in 2012). The proposal came
from two Democrats (party motto: “If it moves, tax it!”).
The Supreme Court roundly rejected the new tax, ruling that income
taxes were direct taxes and, hence, in violation of the Constitution.
See, the Founders really didn’t like anyone, say, a king, demanding
money from every person in the country, willy-nilly. So, to get
around that little problem — and in a show of bipartisanship (when
it comes to taking Americans’ money) — a Republican offered a
constitutional amendment, the 16th.
Three-quarters of the states at the time ratified the amendment and,
bing, the income tax was born.
That first year, 1913, there were seven brackets, starting at 1 percent,
ending at 7 percent. The 1 percenters (those who were taxed only 1
percent) made from $1 to $20,000 (in 2012, $462,963).
So, pretty much everyone. That top bracket hit only Americans
earning more than $500,000 ($11,574,074 in 2012). The tax form
people filled out was just three pages long.
During World War I (and as Congress got more greedy), there were
21 different brackets. The lowest rate in 1917 had doubled to 2
percent; the top rate had exploded to 67 percent. Taxes fell during
the Depression, jumped during the New Deal (when the top rate hit
79 percent) and hit the big time during WWII: In 1944, the lowest
bracket was 23 percent; the top bracket, 94 percent (make another
hundred bucks, you kept $6). Taxes fell through the ‘50s, held steady
in the ‘60s and ‘70s, but changed dramatically when President
Reagan cut the dozens of brackets down to just five and dropped the
top 70 percent bracket to 38.5 percent.
Democrats raised them again during the Clinton years (actually
taxing the poor more), but President George W. Bush slashed the
lowest bracket to 10 percent and the top one from 39.6 percent to
35 percent.
In 1913, that first income-tax year, there were nearly 100 million
people in the United States. About half were working, so about 50
million Americans ponied up $28.3 million (about $655,000,000 in
2012 dollars).
In 2012, about half of the 300 million or so Americans were in the
labor force. They paid to the federal government $1,200,000,000,000.
Even if you triple the 50 million workers in 1913 to 150 million (to
the number in 2012), and thus triple the tax revenue, it’s still just $2
billion in 2012 dollars. Americans in 2012 paid in $1.2 trillion. With
a T!
And it’s still not enough. President Obama and lawmakers from both
parties just raised taxes again. No, it will never end, and no, you will
never be rich. The government needs more, more, more. Wartime,
peacetime, good times, bad times — always, evermore.
So, happy birthday, income tax. At 100, you’re still going strong.
But we all hope you die real soon.

And since we are on the subject of money . . . here is my favorite
story of the week . . .
Six prominent men were named as pallbearers in the will of a man
who had died penniless, owing each of them considerable sums.
His will read, “They have carried me most of my life so I want
them to carry me to the very end.”
Game Night News
We had 12 “Moon” players Monday night and what a
noisy group it was! At table #1 - Naomi Tomlinson and Margaret Newman
played against Joyce Yates and
Loita Sharp. Naomi and Margaret won 3 games. Joyce and
Loita won 3 games. Joyce
kept telling her opponents how
to make her strawberry cake
hoping to distract them, but it
still wound up a tie! Nice try,
Joyce!
At table #2 - Glenda Smith
and Lynn Marquis played
against Arjean Williams and Sue
Wood. On the very first round,
Glenda shot the moon and made
it! Yea! Glenda!! Arjean and
Sue got up to let Selma Fitzhugh
and Sharon Dilday play. Selma
and Sharon were serious about
playing. Selma shot the moon
and made it! Sharon shot the
moon and made it! Way to go,
girls! Glenda and Lynn never
did regain their mo-jo as Selma
and Sharon won 6 games while
Glenda and Lynn only won 2
more games.
At table #3 - Shirley Hardwick arrived just in time to be
Geraldine Ingram’s partner and
play against Arjean Williams
and Sue Wood. Now this must
have been exciting games as
there was a lot of whooping and
hollering going on. On the first
round, Shirley shot the moon and
made it! Then Sue shot the moon
and made it! Then Shirley shot it
and made it again. Good shooting, girls! Shirley and Geraldine
won 5 games and Arjean and Sue
won 4 games.
Joyce brought some home-

1937 Interview
With G.W. McShawn
Discovered
Continued from Front Page
day he killed a workman and
that deed ended his liberty and
business in the laundry.
McShawn later established
an undertaker’s business. The
highest priced casket sold for
$20.00 and he had some which
cost only $12.50 apiece.
In the spring of 1896, Dr. Lowe
established a drugstore and did a
good business. He sold out that
fall to Harry Evans.
D.N. Kelker and Loyd Thomas had the first General Merchandise stores.
Mrs. Mat Embach cooked the
first dinner for the men working
on the grading of the right-ofway.
After she had the dinner all
cooked and on the table ready
to serve under a tent, a strong
puff of wind came and blew the
tent down, spilling most of the
food on the ground and leaving
the men with very little for their
dinner. Mrs. Embach was very
much embarrassed. She had
worked very hard preparing the
meal.
The first drayman in Holdenville was a man named Thomas
who later sold out to one of the
Allen boys. John Marks was
also one of the pioneer merchants but he soon sold out to
M.M. Smith.
The first white child born in
Holdenville was Miss Nan Williams now Mrs. Kelly. She was
born on January 8, 1896, the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jim
Williams.
Jim Williams was the first
carpenter and although he had a
hard time he remained in Holdenville.
Dr. H.C. Way was among the
early arrivals in Holdenville; he
came in July, 1896.
A Miss Roberts was the first
school teacher in Holdenville.
The Northern Methodists built
the first church. Next the Southern Methodist built a church and
then the Baptist denomination
built a church.
Mr. McShawn and Frank
Meadows build the Baptist
Church and among the first pastors were the Reverend Mr. Clark
and the Reverend Mr. Kirdondall. The Reverend Mr. Krunk
was the first preacher here and
he was a Northern Methodist
Preacher.
The old North Church building is now being used by the
Church of Christ but has been
moved from its former location.
I.N. Singleton was the first
newspaperman. The first newspaper was called “The Times.”
Mr. Singleton ordered an apronful of type and a Gorden press
and started his paper. The first
home of the paper was in the Undertaking Parlor and in September, 1896, “The Times” moved
into a new building especially
built for the newspaper. The
first employees on “The Times”
were Gene Williams, Courtney
Allen, Mrs. T.E. Neal and G.H.
Harding.
A.W. (Jim) and Walter Scott
were prominent men. They built
the Scott Hotel in Holdenville.
Dr. Buckner was the first
peace officer or United States
Marshal.
F.A. Broughton, Monroe Morgan and H.T. Barlow were pioneer blacksmiths.
Jack and Jim Brittian were
stone cutters.
Mrs. Thomas Acton had Holdenville’s first millinery chop.
In 1898, the town was incorporated with D.J. Red as mayor.

I Remember When
by Phil Keathley
1960 Moss Graduate
Moss Topples Byng
I found an old newspaper
article dating from May 2,
1959. The headline reads,
“Moss Topples Byng to
Snare Regional Title.” The
Oklahoman sports writer
Tom Wright incorrectly
called us the Moss Bears
but correctly fingered the
real hero of that game:
hurling sensation P. D.
Brown. Don Smith belted
a 3-run homer to highlight
the fourth inning. And this
was against Byng sensation
Dewey McDonald. The
score was tied 9-9 going
into the 11th. McDonald
issued walks to Rio Evans
and Jackie Brown before
throwing three straight
balls to Lloyd Morrow.
James Kaiser, 6-9 righthanded relief specialist was
brought in and promptly
issued a walk to load the
bases.
Who do you imagine
was up next? The article
reads, “Rio Evans’ theft of
home” alluding to the key
call made by coach Kenneth
Hull. The batter was none
other than Phil Keathley.
Buried in the article down
close to the bottom is
this statement, “...and
Evans sailed home on an
attempted squeeze bunt by
Phil Keathley.” What did I
do? Did I cause a pass ball?
Did I keep the catcher from
making the tag? I really
don’t remember. I wish
someone would remind
me.
We always had great teams
at Moss thanks in large part
to the smart and hard work
of Coach Hull. He knew
how to get the most out his
players. While I felt my
play was far inferior to the
likes of P. D. Brown, Larry
Webber, Lonnie McGuire,
Jackie Brown, Phil Wood
and many more, it was an
honor to play with these
gentlemen. They always
treated me well. They
treated me as if I were an
equal on the ball field.
The article also mentions
that just a few days before,
we had come out in secondplace at the OU Tournament.
This is where I made the
greatest play of my entire
life. Playing Oney in the
semifinals, we were up a
run or two and they had a
runner on second base. The
batter hit a towering, deep
fly ball to center field where
I was playing. I turned
my back to the infield and
ran as hard as I could into
straightaway center. As the
ball was coming down, I was
getting close to it. Looking
over my left shoulder, I
whirled at the last instant
and, quite to my surprise,
the ball landed in the pocket
of my glove. Phil Wood,
the shortstop was running
to meet me. The base runner
was at home plate. I threw
to Phil who threw to second
for a double play.
We played Cassidy in
the finals and lost by a
very narrow margin. We
were the runners-up in
that tournament but it was
thrilling to be a part of so
great a game, so great a
school, so great and gutsy a
team, and under the tutelage
of so great a high school
coach. Reliving that great
year of 1959 and of 1960
has been a thrill. My fondest
of memories harken back to
those great days of baseball
and the great persons who
were on those teams. Most
of all, to be associated with
so many solid citizens who
have gone on to successfully
make their way in this world
is a wondrous blessing.

note from our good friend and
HHS graduate Len Pruitt. He
share some very fond memories
with us that we want to pass
along.
Hi, Bill and Dayna,
What wonderful memories
from the Girls Annual Country
Dress Revue, from The Year Was
1951. I read every name. There
were so many that I went to
school with and are my friends.
As I read the list, memories
flashed through my mind. Some
happy, some funny, and some sad.

of names on the list. There are
two memories that I have kept
in my mental pictures. The first
one involves Marchetta Jones
family - Woodrow Jones and
his brothers. The Jones’s were
farmers and had MM Moline
tractors. My Dad had a Ford
tractor Woodrow and Oland
(spelling) Jones would pass
my dad on the road between
fields, he couldn’t keep up with a
Moline tractor. He went to town
and had a fourth gear added to
the side of the transmission, to
no avail, he still couldn’t out
run Jones’s Moline. There was
no other tractor that could out
run a Moline. To the best of
my memory, the John Deere,
Farmall, Allis Chalmers, Oliver,
Ferguson, Case or any other
could not out run a Moline.
When Mom and Dad divorced,
Dad sold our tractor to Oliver
Brinlee, I think or Nen Parker.
Somewhere in Hughes County
there is a 40’S Ford 9N tractor
with a 4th gear on the side of the
transmission. (I wish I had it). I
have always thought the phrase
(trying to keep up with the
Joneses) started there on those
little Salt Creek Farms. Anyway
to me it did.
The other (I think funny)
memory involved Rebecca and
Barbara Young from Bethel. They
first went to Friendship school
along with their brother Gilbert.
Their walk to school was about
three miles and ours was almost
two. One time during winter we
had a snowstorm and it was very
cold. Gilbert and Barbara and we
called her Beccie cut across the
field to our house. The two girls
were crying they were so cold.
They stood in front of the stove
and warmed up enough for us
to all start out. From our house
it was up a hill to the road and
then down a steep hill across the
Salt Creek bridge and then up
a long hill to the first crossroad
where Doaks lived, and then a
little less than a mile on to the
school. When we got to school
we were all crying we were so
cold. I remember my feet got so
cold the rest of the winter when
ever my feet were near the stove
my heels would start itching so
deep I couldn’t reach the depth
of the itch. When you hear kids
laughing at their parents about
having to walk two or three
miles to school, up hill both
ways. We did. If you went to any
little country school in Hughes
County and walked to school,

Our dear friend Geneva
Pierce has been battling shingles
this past couple of months. A
couple of Sundays ago was her
first Sunday back to church in
several weeks. Everyone was so
happy to see her. We really miss
her when she’s gone. I know
that God brought her back on
this particular Sunday, because
I was going to sing a song that
Geneva usually sings (His Eye
Is On The Sparrow). When I
found out she was going to be
there, I waited by the door so
I could ask if she would sing
with me. She said yes, and we
practiced a little, then we sang
the song during the service.
Geneva sounded better than
ever and everyone was so
blessed to hear her sing again.
I am looking forward to singing
with Geneva again soon. Bill
has requested “A Day Without
A Cloud”, one of his all time
favorites. Bless you Geneva for
blessing us!!

I had a call from our good
friend Billie Webb, who wanted
to warn our readers about the
Medicare scam that is going
on in our area. She had read
about it in the paper, but then
she received a phone call from
someone claiming to be with
Medicare, wanting information
from her. Thankfully she knew
that it was a scam, so she didn’t
give anything out. Billie asked
the lady who she was with and
where she was calling from.
Billie couldn’t understand who
she said she was with, but she
told her she was calling from
Washington, DC. When the
caller realized the Billie knew it
was a scam she hung up abruptly.
The caller ID said “Name Not
Found” and the number was
409-574-1214. So, beware of
this scam. If you are not sure
about a call you receive, do not
give any personal information
out. Thank you, Billie, for
making us aware that this is
happening here in Holdenville.

Many of us remember the
Lincoln School in Holdenville.
In fact, the building still stands.
In the past we have looked
for articles about the school,
but they have been difficult to
find. We have been told that
there were yearbooks published
some years, but we have not
been able to locate one.
This past week I did find an
article from 1951 about some
of their students attending a
scholastic meet. Here is the
article:
LINCOLN STUDENTS
IN LANGSTON MEET; WIN
SEVERAL HONORS
Nine students from Lincoln
high school here appeared
in the interscholastic meet
at Langston University on
Friday.
The group scored three
first places, two seconds and
three third place winnings in
the state-wide competition of
separate schools.
Charlesetta Craig placed
first in English I, Darlene
Stripling placed first in
home economics I, and
Tony Adkerson won first in
American democracy. Zella
Mae Nero placed second in
plane geometry and Virginia
Sue Perry won second in
soprano solos.
Third place winners
included Tony Adkerson in
English literature, Walter Lacy
in general agriculture and
James W. Fleming in baritone
solo.
Other students attending
the contest were D.C. Knighten
and Charlesetta Brown.
If any of our readers has
a news item, yearbook or
memories about Lincoln high
school, we hope they will share
them with us.

Carolyn Mathis was by
the office Monday. We really
enjoyed the times that Carolyn
and Bud would come by to
visit.
The two of them have
helped so many local folks
over the years, including us.
Bud and Meredith were in
the nursing home at the same
time and Bill and I never went
there that Carolyn was not
there.
They were such a special
couple (married on Valentine’s
Day) and we all still miss Bud.

We get emails from our
sweet friends Vern and Connie
Davis from time to time and I
wanted to share the latest that
we received on March 2nd.
Vern and Connie are two of
the most encouraging people I
know. I have never visited with
them that I didn’t leave feeling
uplifted. Thank you for being
such wonderful Christian
friends. We love you!
Yes indeed! a good day to
be alive! Clear and cold here,
snow on the ground, and going
to warm up the next few days.
The streets are all in good shape,
and looking forward to taking
“little goldie” (our car) to the
car wash when it warms up as
we had to get out when they
had the salt on the road. Poor
little Goldie’s been unwashed
ever since, so got to clean her
up the sweet little thing! Did
I tell you that my cheese has
slid off my cracker and that I
name all of my vehicles and
talk to them and thank them
for a good trip, and thank them
for not breaking down and
stuff like that? It is a fun thing,
and no one is watching with
the garage door shut, I know
that all traveling safety comes
from Jesus, yet I’m not above
praying for a car to keep going.
For example, as a young man
when I had no money nor any
means to pay for towing if it
was necessary, I had this old
1955 Pontiac Chieftain the one
with the lighted hood ornament
that would light up at night
with a soft orange glow. One
day, the starter would not kick
in and we were out on the edge
of a field as I had just finished
plowing. My young wife had
came out to pick me up and
had shut off the car which then
refused to start. We prayed that
God would see fit to let it start
one more time so that we could
make it into town where I could
work on it and buy the parts.
Would you know that after that
prayer, the car started right up?
I guess that old memory of that
day has been kicking around in
my mind for years and years
and just now came floating
to the top as I think about all
of God’s wonderful works &
miracles over the years that HE
has so freely given.
And now, opening day
for trout season has came and
went, March 1st, 2013 and
would you believe that I was
content to stay in the house and
let all the young ones have a go
at the river? I know that later
on in the season, that I will
catch more than my share of
all kinds of fish!!! Love, Vern
& Connie Big Hugs!!!!!

Bill talked to Claudia Olivo
a few days back. As most of
you know she was involved in
a bad automobile accident last
week. She is improving but
is still very sore. Keep her in
your prayers for this has been a
very traumatic experience.
Bill also got to visit with
Alice. It has been a long time
since we have seen Snooks
and Alice and we always look
forward to their visits.

A week ago Sunday we
had a very special guest attend
our church service. It was Pat
Miller. Her grandfather C.C.
Johnson pastured our church
for many years. He and his
wife were two of the most
beloved couple that ever lived
in Holdenville.
He was known as the
“town’s” preacher because so
many not even in the Nazarene
Church called on him in their
time of need.
Our dear friend, the late
Alta Wyrick, was his daughter.
She was one of the sweetest
ladies I ever knew and so much
fun to be around.
Pat’s visit brought back
so many memories and it was
such a wonderful time for our
family. We wish they could
have stayed longer.
Her two sons, Danny and
Kenny came with her. We
have known them for many
years and always enjoy seeing
them.
Their sister Debbie was
unable to come. She has serious
health problems and we need
to keep her in our prayers.

My favorite “Bill” story
of the week. A lady was is the
office Tuesday to have some
copies made.
Bill took them and asked
the lady if they were her family
genealogy papers. She looked
rather odd and asked him to
repeat what he had said. He
replied, “I just noticed these
are your genealogy papers.” “I
thought that is what you said,”
she replied. “No they are not
my family tree papers, they are
my dog’s pedigree papers!”
Thankfully, she had a good
sense of humor! (I think Bill
needs to quit being so nosey!!)
