My Grandfather, William H. Hendricks, Jr., made the OK Land rush in 1893, he came by horse back and walking from Bancroft, Daviess Co., MO. ************* Way back when - I was in High School (Centreville MI), an elderly neighbor told me of his youth. He had been a "Sooner" - crossed into Oklahoma before the Land Rush. He settled on a nice piece of land - but got "foot-loose" - left it and went to California. Some time later, he returned - to find "His Land" covered with Oil Wells. Up there in Michigan, on the "other farm" - the windows were "the windows of Sears original building" - from Chicago (he said). And I just loved to go to his garage - he had an old Knights Car - with the round pipe bumpers - and wheels as high as my waist. Merle
