Thanks. I wonder if maybe it used to be called Oilton back in the early 1900's - 1905 to 1925?

Can ;you tell me, are there many ROBERTS in that phone directory for Ardmore? I am looking for Robert E. Roberts and any others that may be related. If there are not too many, I would like all of them. I know my family was there in 1920 and am wondering if there were more. Also am interested in the name HALEY.

Hi all, I have a 1939 Ardmore Phone book and would be happy to look up a name or business for anyone that wants it. Just let me know. Brett

I also have several of these old pictures. I understand my grandmother had many others that were lost when their house was ransacked in the late 1920s. If there was any way to know more about who took them, any negatives, you are absolutely right--what a gold mine!! -- Candace Gregory [email protected] http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/g/r/e/Candace-L-Gregory Researching the surnames of: GREGORY, PRATER, COURTNEY, DECOURTNEY, SMITH, WILLIAMS, WICKER, SANDIFER, SLAUGHTER, MASON, CAIN and many, many more. . .

Anyone know what happened to the old photography studios of early day Ardmore - or, more to the point, the files and negatives, etc., I have so many old photos of relatives from various studios stamped "Ardmore, I.T." and it would be a goldmine to find more information/pictures....

What a story! wow. I noticed the name Ellis - probably no connection but thought I'd share this just in case. My greatgrandmother's older sister married an Ellis. Walter Mack Ellis m. Pairlee (went by middle name, can't recall first right now) in 1896. I'm not sure where they were married at this time, but they lived in Duncan, Stephens County, OK. They had two sons - Roy and Charlie.

Trying to find the location of Pleasant Mound and Jolly Knob in what would now be either SE Carter or NW Love Co. They supposedly were close to Hoxbar during Indian Territory days. I have a funeral home record of 1899 from Harvey's FH in Ardmore which says burial to be at Pleasant Mound. Have been told that Pleasant Mound was what is now known as Legate. Any one have any clues?
