Atwood Bridge Tragedy Remembered
There are several area old timers that still remember Halloween
night 1941. That was when five countians plunged into the South
Canadian river when they failed to see that a section of the Atwood
bridge had washed out. First, we are going to give you the news article
about the tragedy and then we are going to share the story as told by
Dr. James Otto Morse, the son of one of the couples that was lost that
night.
WASHED OUT SECTION OFATWOOD BRIDGE IS SUDDEN
DEATH TRAP FOR THE CLARENCE HASTINGS, THE OTT
MORSES, MRS. COLLINS
The body of Clarence Hastings, 37,
former Hughes county treasurer, was
found at about 1 p.m. today floating
with a pile of driftwood, two miles
downstream from the South Canadian
river bridge south of here where he and
four others plunged to their deaths in
an automobile last night after a section
of the bridge had washed out.
In addition to Hastings, those
believed drowned were Mrs. Hastings,
about 36, of Calvin, Ott Morse, about
41, Calvin postmaster, Mrs. Ott Morse,
about 26, and Mrs. Opal Collins, 28, of
Calvin.
None of the other bodies had been
recovered this afternoon nor had the
car in which the five were riding been
located.
One other body was seen but had
not been reached.
Striking where danger was least
expected the treacherous South
Canadian washed out part of the
wooden section of the bridge about
midnight last night.
The car in which the five were
riding ran off the bridge near the south
end where a 50-foot section was taken
out by the river.
The flooded stream, beginning to
recede, uprooted the wooden pilings on the south side, apparently only
a short time before the car plunged over at about 12:30 a.m.
Highway workers ironically, were busy on the road only a few
hundred yards from the bridge, working to keep the river from
undermining the pavement. They did not know that the bridge was
cut.
Another car which was traveling behind the Hastings machine came
within inches of following the first one off the bridge, but managed to
stop. The occupants notified the highway workers that the bridge was
out.
No one saw the Hastings car take the fatal plunge, but it was seen
headed for the bridge just before the washout was reported. The second
car came along just a few minutes afterward.
“Cars were going back and forth and we were busy, there’s no way
of telling when the bridge went out,” one member of the highway crew
said.
The wooden section of the bridge where the washout had occurred
earlier in the night, slopes downward, making it difficult, if not
impossible to detect the breach in time to stop a moving car. When
last seen the Hastings car was moving at a slow rate of speed.
There was some speculation as to whether any additional cars ran
off the gaping bridge in the dark. One other car was said to have
stopped at a local filling station at about 11:30 p.m. to inquire if the
Atwood road was open. Two men believed to have been from Sasakwa
were in the car, but no one was reported missing there.
Oscar Bailey, a brother of Mrs. Morse, who was working on the
road, saw the Hastings car pass just before the washout was reported.
Mrs. Morse had brought her brother and the other workers some
lunch earlier in the evening and Bailey recognized the car as it went
back by.
The Calvin residents were returning to their home after attending a
square dance at Civic Center here.
Near the conclusion of the dance, a warning to south-of-the-river
residents not to use the Atwood road was twice broadcast over the
loudspeaker. However, it was not known at that time that a section of
the bridge had washed out.
An immediate alarm was sounded when it was learned the bridge
was out, highway workers fearing that the Hastings car had gone into
the river. When the Calvin residents failed to show up at their homes
a search was begun.
Planes from the city airport took off, despite the muddy field and
were searching the river all day today. Pilots aiding in the search were
Earl Penn, Gale Pryor, Orian Harrod, John Yates and Aubrey Price.
County officers, fire department members and friends of the missing
persons searched the river from the
banks.
Hastings body was the first
discovered, having floated two miles
down the river and Coleman Petete
saw the body from the shore. It was
recovered from a sandbar.
Hastings body was brought to the
Hudson Funeral Home here.
And now, the first chapter of Dr.
Morse’s book:
Growing Up With Real People
Chapter 1
When Parents Didn’t Come Home
Halloween Day 1941 was the
worst day of my life. Of course, I had
no idea the day would turn out that way
when, as usual, I got up at five o’clock
to deliver newspapers. It seemed like
any other late October morning—not
cold enough yet to go into winter long
underwear but uncomfortably cool
when coasting downhill on a bicycle.
So far, my father had said nothing
about my kindling fires in the wood
stove each morning, and it was going
to have to get much cooler before I
would volunteer to take on that chore.
After pulling on my clothes, I
picked up a light jacket and made
my way quietly out the back door. My parents wouldn’t be up for at
least another hour, I thought, and I had again successfully avoided the
squeaky board in the dining room floor.
A small bundle of newspapers was awaiting me on the sidewalk in
front of the drugstore where the driver of the Mistletoe Express truck
had tossed them two hours earlier. I was expected to deliver those
Daily Oklahomans in time for folks to read the paper while eating
their breakfasts.
The first inkling I had that something was going to be different
about that day came as I was getting on my bicycle. Chig Brown, an
old friend of my father’s, drove up in the darkness and called out,
“Don’t go anywhere yet, Jimmy. George is coming to see you.”
I was puzzled. What did I need to know that Chig himself couldn’t
tell me? If there was some sort of family emergency, why was George
Morse, the only one of my father’s three brothers who still lived in our
hometown, coming to see me about it instead of awakening my father
and delivering the news to him directly? Had something happened to
my grandmother, and was George just trying to keep me from having
to learn about it first from someone on my paper route? Or could it be
that my parents were actually not at home?
“O. K., I’ll wait,” I called back then hurried into the house to check
out my parents’ bedroom. There I was surprised to see their bed had
not been slept in. The faded chenille bedspread was undisturbed, and
my father’s shoes were not beside his chair where he usually left them
at night.
My mind was fishing for an explanation. I knew my parents had
planned to go to a dance at the Civic Center in Holdenville the evening
before with Clarence Hastings and his wife, but why hadn’t they returned
home before midnight like they had promised? My stepmother’s last
words to me had been, “Be good, Jimmy.” Now it looked like they
were the ones who hadn’t been good─at least not good enough to come
home on time. And yet, I couldn’t help wondering if something might
have happened that kept them from getting back. Maybe the Hastings’
car broke down and they can’t get it fixed until morning.

WHEN IT COMES TO CHILI THESE FOLKS ARE WINNERS! Three “Professional” chili judges were on hand at the local Church of God to judge the cook-off. In the
Regular chili category, Alyne Smith won 1st, Nancy Ewers 2nd, and Vernon and Esther Hardwick 3rd. In the Specialty division, Marilyn Storts 2nd, Nancy Ewers 3rd,
and Virginia Mitchell 1st.
PAGE A-2—HOLDENVILLE TRIBUNE—APRIL 23, 2014
The quote of the week comes from Congressman Markwayne
Mullins. It is about Obamacare:
Obamacare Is Really Simple!
In order to insure the uninsured, we first have to un-insure
the insured. Next we require the newly un-insured to be reinsured. To re-insure the newly un-insured, they are required
to pay extra charges to be re-insured. The extra charges are
required so that the original insured, who become un-insured
and then become re-insured, can pay enough extra so that the
original un-insured can be insured for free.
There, I hope that this clarifies this issue once and for all.
—CC—
In order for Obamacare to work, it needed some 7 million
net new enrollees, at least 38 percent of whom would be
young and healthy enough to subsidize the others, according
to liberal projections.
But what did he get?
Well, he allegedly got 7.1 million enrollees on paper, but let’s
look at the myriad ways that number is reduced.
National Journal reports that an estimated 15 to 20 percent of
these enrollees haven’t paid their premiums, which means they
won’t be covered. So right off the bat, you have to reduce the
number to between 5.7 million and 6 million, which means the
figures already won’t work.
Instead of 38 percent of these enrollees being in the young and
healthy category, Michael Tanner of the Cato Institute reports
that less than 30 percent of enrollees are younger than 35.
Also, RAND Corp. estimates that only about one-third of the
new enrollees were previously uninsured, which means that
two-thirds of the 5.7 million or 6 million cannot properly be
counted in these figures. So we have fewer than 2 million net
new enrollees. But we’re still not finished.
In addition to this, RAND estimates that nearly a million
more people lost their plan because of Obamacare and couldn’t
afford to replace it because Obamacare mandates coverage of
additional risks and causes premiums to increase.
Does that mean we are actually down to about 1 million net
new enrollees?
Not to destroy your day further, but on top of all this,
Obamacare is projected to cost the government -- meaning
taxpayers -- $2 trillion over the next decade, which isn’t even
being factored in here. And how many believe that number isn’t
grossly underestimated? Also, Obamacare is going to cause cuts
to Medicare Advantage, which will reduce benefits or increase
premiums for people by an estimated $35 to $75 per month.
— David Limbaugh
Obamacare has been a disaster for millions of Americans,
including me and my family.

Speaking of healthcare . . .
Being physically active is one of the best things you can do
for good health. A growing body of research suggests that
the health benefits of exercise extend to survivors of colon,
breast and prostate cancers, and possibly other cancers as
well. Exercise seems to not only reduce a survivor’s chance of
developing problems such as heart disease, but also reduces the
chances of dying of cancer.
One 2011 study looked at 4,643 postmenopausal women who
have been diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. Over eight
years, women who exercised the equivalent of three hours a
week of brisk walking had a 46-percent reduced risk of death
of any cause and a 39 percent reduced risk of death caused by
breast cancer.
The benefit of exercise was seen regardless of the stage of
breast cancer at diagnosis, and it occurred even in women who
were inactive before their diagnoses and became more active
afterward.
A 2013 review of research on the impact of exercise on colon
cancer showed that after colon cancer diagnosis even small
amounts of weekly brisk walking reduced the risk of death from
colon cancer by about 25 percent over the span of several years.
Other research has indicated that higher amounts of exercise –
such as three or more hours of walking a week – may reduce
the risk of death from colon cancer by an even greater margin.
According to a 2011 study of 2,705 men diagnosed with
prostate cancer, it took seven or more hours a week of
nonvigorous walking – meaning walking slower than 3 miles
per hour – to make a modest dent in risk of death from prostate
cancer over 10 years.
However, more vigorous exercise – such as faster walking,
heavy yardwork, racket sports, running or fast bicycling –
lowered the risk of dying of prostate cancer by about a quarter
in those who exercised less than seven hours a week and by
more than half in those who exercised seven or more hours a
week.
Mayo Clinic cancer experts generally agree that regular
exercise is important for cancer survivors, just as it is for the
general population. Even if exercise had no effect on risk of
death due to cancer recurrence, it would still improve many
other conditions – from heart disease and diabetes to depression
– that impact health and longevity whether or not you’ve had
cancer.

And last of all, there is now proof that sunbathing can cause
problems for both those sunbathing and those around them .
..
S.B. Weinstein reports that a woman went up to the roof deck
of her hotel to sunbathe. No one else was there, so she slipped
out of her swimsuit to get an overall tan. A few minutes later,
she heard someone running up the stairs.
“Excuse me, miss,” said the hotel manager. “We would
appreciate it if you wore a bathing suit.”
“But I’m alone,” she said. “What difference does it make?”
“A lot,” said the manager. “You’re lying on the dining room
skylight.”
Russell Ingram, Holdenville native and HHS graduate, ran in the Boston
Marathon on Monday, April 21st. There were 36,000 people running in this year’s marathon. His time for the run was 2:38:47. His placement against all other runners was 289. He was
#228th in his division of men 18-39 yrs old. Russell’s wife Tracey, and his children Reagan and
Landon were with him in Boston. Russell is the son of Dave and Jumper Ingram, the grandson of
Dub and Dolores Ingram, and the late Woody and Maxine Ford, all of Holdenville.
Game Night News
We had 10 good “Moon”
domonio players. All of
them were good, some were
just better than others or
maybe they just had better
domonio hands than others. You know, you can’t
play them if you don’t get
them!! But to help us out
with our mo-jo, Selma Fitzhugh made cookie balls
(they were to die for) and a
cheese ball with pineapple
in it. Norma Summy made
peanut clusters. YUM!! We
were on a chocolate high
don’t you know!!
Team players were Sharon Dilday and Naomi Tomlinson winning 4 games.
Naomi shot the moon and
made it! Yea! Naomi! Shirley Hardwick and Selma know as S&S won 4 games
including Shirley shooting
the moon and making it! Way to go Shirley!! Geraldine Ingram and Glenda
Swift, known as G “n” G,
won 2 games. Norma and
Lynn Marquis won 1 game!
(They were 20 and couldn’t
get a bid and bidder goes
out. So close, but no cigar!) Sue Wood and Loita Sharp
won 2 games. You would
have thought that they had
shot the moon, they were so
excited!
I hope I got all this right. If not, I’ll try better next
time! But we were having
so much fun eating, laughing and playing, it was hard
to get the scores down correctly.
If you are looking for a
fun time, come and join us!
See you next week!

Class of 1964 Invites
HHS Alumni to Prom 2.0
Remember the excitement
of your prom; the dresses, the
hair, the formal jackets, the
dance, and all your friends!
Well, Saturday, June 28, 2014,
you can relive those days with
the Class of 1964’s PROM 2.0.
The class of 1964 will host their
50th High School Reunion with
an invitation to all Holdenville
High School Alumni to join in
the fun.
The idea for Prom 2.0 was
introduced at the Class of 1964
forty-fifth reunion. Jonnie Edwards Witt suggested the Prom
as a special event to mark their
50th. Dale Jenkins reminded
Jonnie of her suggestion early
this year. Soon, the wheels
were in motion with an organizing committee called into
play: Kate Mackey Lay, Vance
Van Hooser, Jim Davenport,
Jim Hignite, Jonnie Edwards
Witt, Dale Jenkins, and class
members from other classes,
Linda Bunch Whitaker, Sheila
Edwards Argo, and Gary Sullivan. Since then, donations were
sought, the Hughes County
Expo Center was reserved, Ronnie Kaye, DJ, was contracted, a
caterer was hired, and decorations were secured.
“This is going to be a first
class event,” Jonnie Edwards
Witt said. “We encourage anyone who wants to dress up in
their prom dresses and white
jackets to join in the fun! So
if you are feeling festive, wear
prom wear or just come casual”
she said.
Ronnie Kaye, DJ for the
prom, will be playing music for
all generations. Some people
will recall in the late 60’s, Ronnie Kaye produced and hosted
a local teen dance show on
Channel 4 called “The Scene”.
It aired at 12:30 on Saturdays
featuring local kids dancing and
national artists performing such
as; Ray Charles, Jerry Lee Lewis, James Brown, and Smokey
Robinson. For eight years, the
show was syndicated in 10 markets in the southwestern United
States including California and
Texas. Ronnie was Oklahoma’s
own version of Dick Clark’s
American Bandstand. He continues to keep kids and adults
dancing by working at reunions
and special events.
“I have talked to several people in town who have been vital
to organizing their own HHS
reunions and they are very excited about it,” Dale Jenkins
said.” I have received reservations from a lot of class members. We are having a meeting
May 6th at 7 pm at the Expo
center,” he continued. “We really want anyone who is interested in contacting their class
or helping with the event to
come to the meeting.”
Prom 2.0 will be held at the
Hughes County Expo Center
on Saturday, June 28th, starting at 6 pm. until 11 pm. Ticket
prices are $20 for advance reservations and $25 at the door..
Reservations may be made by
emailing Dale at Robinzart@
yahoo.com or mailing a check
to Dale Jenkins, 3239 N. 372
Road, Holdenville, Oklahoma
74848.

Frost and that I would not
want to leave Calvin. She
would have been right
about that.
I missed a week of
school, the first few days
because I was at the river
walking through poison ivy
and watching them search
for the car and the rest of the
time because of a reaction
to that toxic plant that left
my eyelids so swollen that
I had to pry them open with
my fingers to see where I
was going.
Clarence
Hastings’
body was found the next day
on a floating tree to which
he had apparently clung
with one arm, the other
arm being broken. It was
assumed that he had made it
out of the car alive but had
died of exposure. The hood
of a car was found next and
was thought maybe to be
from the missing vehicle.
A week later someone
crossing the bridge at
Eufaula, about fifty miles
downstream, noticed a
body floating in the river.
It turned out to be Opal
Collins’. Apparently, my
parents had invited the
widow to go along to the
dance in an effort to cheer
her up.
The
next
spring
stepmother Louise’s body
washed up about four
miles downriver and on the
opposite bank, presumably
mobilized by the seasonal
flooding. The other two
bodies and the car itself
were never found.
I suspect that Clarence
may have had his window
rolled down in order to listen
to the roar of the river and
had no particular difficulty
in exiting the vehicle once
it hit the water even though
an arm had been broken in
the fall. My father, being
in the back seat, probably
managed to get the two
women in that seat out
the window as well but
remained trapped in the car
as it rolled over on its side
and sank. Mrs. Haskell may
well have been knocked
unconscious as her head
hit the dashboard when the
vehicle hit the water.
It was amazing to me
how many people came
from all over Hughes
County and beyond to
help search for that vehicle
and its occupants. For the
first few days throughout
the daylight hours, a boat
was in the water with its
outboard motor straining
against the current to hold
it even with the end of the
bridgeContinued

poles could probe for the
lost vehicle.
At one point I looked
up to see Sheriff Harve
Ball holding the tiller while
his former deputy Bill
Gaddy probed. A few years
earlier Bill had resigned
his position to run against
Harve for the sheriff job
(and lost like everyone else
who had run against him
over the previous several
years). It was rumored
that the two hadn’t spoken
to each other since Bill
quit his job. I think many
were relieved to see them
cooperating again.
As I now think back,
I suspect those probing
for the car at the site of
the fallen span didn’t find
it because it probably
had remained afloat long
enough to drift somewhat
farther down the river.
A few years ago, my
sister learned from a friend
in Holdenville that a couple
of men from out of town had
been overheard claiming
that they had located with
a metal detector a large
object deeply buried in the
sand just downstream from
the south end of that now
dismantled bridge. She
and I decided not to pursue
the matter further but to
let the river remain our
father’s grave even though
his name appears on the
tombstone in the Calvin
cemetery where his wife’s
body lies.
After
a
week
passed a joint memorial
service was held in the
Methodist Church. At my
grandfather’s funeral some
years earlier, Ina Oliver
had sung “In the Garden.”
My father had been so
moved that he remarked
that he wanted Ina to
do the same at his. She
laughed, for she was older
than he. Now, however,
she realized that she would
not be able to control her
voice if she attempted to
fulfill his wish and had
left that duty to a men’s
quartet from Holdenville.
I resolved right then that I
certainly did not want “In
the Garden” to be sung
at my funeral. “Amazing
Grace” will do.
Aunt Iva Mae Clemons
was the only member of
the family to break down
in uncontrollable weeping
during the service. I doubt
she was remembering the
time that her parents came
home to find an irate, threeyear-old Iva in a diaper that
my father, as the babysitter
in charge, had forced her
to wear because she had
persisted in acting like a
baby. She may, however,
have recalled the time
when she was a little girl
and Glen and his buddies
had tied her to the railroad
track to keep her from
following them. My father
had rescued her opportunely
and made certain that Glen
received the whipping he
had earned.
During the year that
followed, my father’s
brothers tried to fill in for
him. Kize took me fishing
and taught me a few things
about riding George’s
horse. George put me to
clerking in his grocery
store on Saturdays, and
Glen took me to work with
him on the railroad during
the Christmas break. The
teachers who were boarding
at my grandmother’s also
taught me things outside
the classroom.
Several people have
asked me over the years why
we didn’t sue the State for
faulty maintenance of the
bridge. We considered it,
but Oscar Bailey, who was
working for the Highway
Department at the time was
against it because it would
make the Department
look bad. It wasn’t long,
however, before he left that
job and took the postmaster
position my father had left
vacant.
This tragedy did not
automatically
bestow
maturity on me, of course,
but it did thrust me past
most of the rebellious stage
adolescents tend to pass
through. I believe that my
grandmother had already
begun to treat me as an
adult—insofar as that was
possible with a fourteenyear-old boy. She never
asked me where I’d been
or how I spent my money.
Consequently I usually told
her where I was going and
IF YOU LIKE HOT CHILI THESE THREE TOOK TOP HONORS IN THAT CATEGORY AT THE FIRST CHURCH OF GOD CHILI
what I was going to buy.
COOKOFF. Winning 1st place was Katherine Narcomey. 2nd place went to Janice Eller and there was a tie for 3rd place between
Marilyn Storts and Hannah Grimaldo.
HOLDENVILLE TRIBUNE— APRIL 23, 2014—PAGE B-1
The Year Was 1964
THE YEAR WAS 1964
Both Sides of the Tracks
by Charles Kemmerrer
H.D. (Happy) Clapsaddle,
Jerry Smith and John Q (for
Quincy) Ryan were “mule
skinners”. In the early 20’s
when oil was discovered in
this area these men came
here to fill a great need—the
hauling of oilfield equipment from Holdenville to
the location of the well. It
took four days to load, haul
and unload a modest cargo
of equipment from Holdenville’s two railroads to
Cromwell. This city had a
tremendous advantage over
Wewoka, in that we had
TWO railroads whereas the
City-to-the-West had only
one; and that one was east to
west. Most pipe, pumps and
drills came from the north,
in those days. These three
men were “dashing” characters.
Jerry and “Happy” used
mules, but John contended that horses, with more
gentle characteristics, were
better adapted to the rugged
work of hauling. The wagons (few trucks were in use
in the 20’s) were pulled by
six to eight tandem teams.
One “mule skinner” and one
“swamper” could haul from
six to eight tons of heavy
equipment.
Of course,
it was necessary to carry
with them, blankets, feed
for the men and mules and
other “conveniences”. Men
worked long and hard hours.
The usual tour in those days
was 12 hours. This was before the Right-to-Work or
the 40-hour week. We were
all looking for a “full dinner
pail”.
John Ryan is the man
who accepted the contract
to construct the spillway on
our present city lake. John
had heavy, Percheron-type
horses. It took nearly six
months, with pick, shovel,
slip and drags to complete
the chore. This was the last
major contract performed by
the “happy Irishman” John
Q. Ryan. Trucks, bulldozers
and mechanized equipment
came to Oklahoma. John
Ryan always owned the finest work horses to be found
anywhere. This was only 40
years ago. Which brings to
mind that . . .
Binas Hostettler, Stanley
Huser Sr. and Angus Woodford all came to Holdenville
in 1923—all three are first
rank lawyers. They were
not even acquaintances at
that time. Hostettler came
to us from Washington,
D.C., Stanley came here
from Okemah and Woodford from Enid. The three
have been warm friends for
over 40 years. Holdenville
sorely needed young attorneys at the time that oil came
into being here. Charlie Orr,
(Woodford’s later partner) is
credited with creating the
first mineral lease. There
were no accepted “forms”
of legal oil leases in the raw,
rough new oil country surrounding us.
Happy Clapsaddle and
Jerry Smith owned and “operated” over 40 mules during the “boom days”. They
had about 20 men who drove
the wagons and teams that
dragged, pulled and hauled
the equipment necessary to
drill our wells. It took up
to six months to drill a well
usually only 3,000 to 4,000
feet deep, to the “Cromwell
sand.” Men lived at the
well site. A good mule and
wagon team did well to haul
four to five tons, over the
unpaved roads of that day.
Which calls to mind . . .
W.H. Whitton was a cable
tool driller in those days
(there were no rotary rigs)
and the Whitton’s have
three sons. It was only natural that one of the sons—
Darrell should be attracted
to the oil business. Today
Darrell owns and operates
the last surviving custom
oilfield hauling truck—a six
to eight ton diesel International. This truck, with Darrell and only one helper, can
haul as much equipment as
Happy’s and Jerry’s 40 odd
mule teams!! A modern Rotary Rig weighs up to 400
thousand pounds. Darrell
and his truck can deliver (in
hours) an entire unite distances far greater than the
haul to Cromwell.
Darrell Whitton, along
with the others above, have
made their own opportunity
and have helped make Oklahoma and this area what it
is today—a healthy, prosperous and well-organized
Holdenville.

ELLIS HURLS HOLDENVILLE BY NEW
LIMA
Leonard Harjo cracked a
pair of run-scoring triples
and unbeaten Lyndell Ellis
turned in a two-hit masterpiece Saturday as Holdenville blew down New Lima,
13-0, in five innings.
Ellis went all the way to
pick up his third straight win
of the season while allowing
only three base runners. He
issued his lone walk in the
first frame, allowed a bad
hop single to Taylor in the
second and a safety off the
bat of Streater in the fifth.
The contest was limited to
five innings due to the tenrun lead rule. The Wolverines wrapped up matters in
the top of the fifth by sending across six runs on only
three hits, two errors, a walk
and a fielder’s choice.
Mike Stripling had a double while Richard Nolen and
Jimmy French helped put
things away with singles.
Harjo, who plays defensively at shortstop, slapped
his first triple in the opening frame, a screamer down
the left field line that scored
Ellis, who had singled, with
the only run of the inning.
He got his other three-bagger, a towering shot to left in
the fourth inning after Ellis
drew life on an error.
Holdenville scored a pair
of tallies in the second inning when Gene Hadley
singled home Stripling and
Rick McCoin, and added
two more in the third when
Jenkins singled Harjo home
and later scored when Dick
Turner ground out.
TURNER
LEADS
HOLDENVILLE FROM
PLATE
With ten games under
their belts, the Holdenville
Wolverines are being led at
the plate by outfielder Dick
Turner and shortstop Leonard Harjo. The Wolverines
as a team are 6-4 for the
season.
Turner leads the club in
most categories and tops
the hitting with a robust
.538 average. The Holdenville clean-up man, who
generally tags the first good
pitch offered, has delivered
fourteen times in 26 trips
to the plate, including one
homerun and thirteen runs
batted in.
Shortstop Harjo has collected 12 safeties in 33 times
at bat for a fine .363 mark.
He, too, has a homerun to
his credit and is second on
the RBI list with eight.
Others who have tagged
four-baggers include Gene
Hadley and Richard Nolen.
In the batting average department, Turner and Harjo
are followed by Jim Cain
(335), Lyndell Ellis (277),
Jim French (263), Hadley,
Nolen and Clyde Collis
(250), Dale Jenkins (200)
and Mike Stripling (190).
Ellis is the club’s top hurler at this stage of the season
with a perfect 2-0 mark
while Jenkins is even at
2-2 and Stripling and Deere
have each lost one game.

HOLDENVILLE TRIBUNE—APRIL 23, 2014—PAGE B-5
Adventures in Genealogy
The Trulock Connection
by Chris Powell
If you have been to the
Oklahoma History Center just
a stone’s throw from our State
Capitol then you know that it
is a very nice facility. If you
are a genealogist like myself
then you are probably aware
that in addition to the museum whose displays occupy
most of the building there is
also a research center. They
have an extensive collection
of print material, microfilmed
records of all kinds including
a comprehensive collection of
the state’s newspapers, and of
course computer terminals for
access to innumerable electronic records available online.
It was not always thus.
During the early 90’s I spent
copious amounts of time at the
Oklahoma Historical Society
Building on the south side of
23rd street in the cramped confines of the 2nd floor research
library. That building dates to
1930 and it felt like stepping
into history when one entered.
It’s going to be a while before
the new facility acquires that
ambiance. There were
tall shelves built into the
walls that were filled with
books, tightly packed rows
of free-standing books, cabinets chock full of microfilm, a
lengthy counter that resembled
a bar for ordering even more
books from the back room,
and at the east end there was
an area tightly packed with a
little over a dozen of the large
microfilm reader machines.
With none of the internet
resources we take for granted
today available at that time,
census records were primarily only available by traveling
to such a library and using a
microfilm reader. Thus, there
was a sign-up list and a time
limit, although if it happened
to be slow you might be able to
get a second hour. When they
called your name for a reader
you would get the microfilm
roll you were interested in and
go sit at your machine with a
cozy neighbor on each side.
One day I was engaged in
this activity, looking for what
I could find about a greatgreat-great-grandfather from
Ohio named Adam Swinehart.
Adam had been in the 16th
Ohio Volunteer Infantry in the
Civil War, wounded at Vicksburg. After the war he went to
Illinois. His son Edward had
married, leaving for Missouri
and then Kansas, and then
parts unknown. Edward’s son
Elsworth was a well-known
figure in early-day Calvin,
Oklahoma. Elsworth’s son,
my grandfather Melvin Swinhart, settled in nearby Holdenville, Oklahoma, where he and
his wife were very involved
with their church and community.
As I mentioned, it was
close quarters with other researchers at the microfilm
readers. Being an inquisitive
sort, which is another way of
admitting that I am nosey, I
had a habit of taking a glance
at the papers of my neighbors.
On this particular day I spotted a familiar name. When the
lady who was using that machine came back, I asked her
about it. I came to learn her
name was Sara Trulock and
she was a teacher from Midwest City, not terribly far from
where I lived in Choctaw. But
she, too, was looking for some
ancestors named Swinehart.
Her Owen and Reed ancestors had been in Illinois.
George Washington Reed was
married to Mariah Stoneking, but his first wife was
Sarah Myra Swinehart. My
new friend was looking for
this Sarah’s father, who just
so happened to be a Civil War
veteran from Ohio with the
given name of Adam. Sara and
I, whose families had taken entirely different routes to get to
Oklahoma and likely had not
had contact with each other
roughly since the completion
of the first transcontinental
railroad, now found ourselves
sitting next to each other looking for not just the same surname, or the same family, but
in fact the very same man.
We each had information
that the other did not, and Sara
had a photo of Adam which
was a delightful discovery for
me. We’ve kept in touch, and
Sara and her mother even attended one of our Swinhart
reunions in Holdenville several years ago, but nowadays
it’s social media that keeps us
connected. I’ve looked up dis-
tant cousins and in turn been
looked up. I’ve found people
online. Ancestry is just one of
many resources that will connect you with others at will.
But nothing is as serendipitous
as bumping into a relative by
peeking at their stuff at the research library back in the preinternet dark ages.
Nostalgia tends to distort
our view and make us think
things were much better than
they were. Genealogical research was much harder when
records couldn’t be had with a
few clickety-clicks on a keyboard and you had to go to libraries and courthouses and to
the houses of those relatively
and geographically distant
cousins. Most things in all aspects of life were harder in the
old days. But the stories were
better.
