Magnolia had the flying red horse, but it has been Mobil Oil Co. for years, I think. I was born on the Harjo oil lease near Oilton. Bob Marden

The red horse still is on top of the building, only now the building has been renovated into the Magnolia Hotel! cheryl in Dallas, Tx

Thanks Jack for the offer of the lookup on the Jennings. It will be a while before we get back to Sapulpa. George's father was George H. Jennings Sr. who specialized in Indian and oil law in Sapulpa until 1970. The Jennings came to Ok. around 1900 and Samuel K. Jennings died in Keifer around 1907 just before statehood. -----Original Message----- From: Jack Delmar <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, October 12, 1999 5:29 PM Subject: Re: [OKCREEK-L] Hi Researchers of Creek County >HI, my dad worked for Tidewater Oil in Kiefer until his death in 1967.

I have been reading with great interest all the e-mails on the oil photos and the comments on the oil companies. My husband was born and raised in Sapulpa and his father was a lawyer there for over 50 years. If anyone comes up with oil company lists of the workers I am looking for any information on Samuel K. Jennings and John McGinnett Jennings who came at the turn of the century from Ohio and Pa. to work in the Ok.oil fields. I believe they were in the Keifer area. Samuel was involved with Drake in drilling the first well in the country in Titusville, Pa. Thanks for all the interesting postings on these early adventures of the oil people.

Yes, I think you are right. I recall the horse from somewhere - I grew up in Oregon, born and raised. Jim Potts says Mobile (I think) bought them out. His passion is old stations and memorabelia (sure that's not the correct spelling) He posted the Magnolia Petroleum Company photo on his site for me, very nice man. he's at www.oldgas.com if interested in that sort of thing.

Yes I did see it, and printed it to pass along to Dad -- but will be a few days before I get it to him. It is a great print -- and didn't load slow at all!

Betty - Have you tried Sapulpa??? Seems like there was a Harmony-Woodruff printing company there and maybe a funeral home. Wanda

I don't know who GULF OIL COMPANY belongs to now, but they were active in Creek County. Wanda

Jack - remember the powerhouse on the way to Bixby from Kiefer that blew smoke rings??? Wanda Wiggins-Havlick WIGGINS-LYMAN-MEFFORD-CORWIN

Becky - Magnolia Petroleum "full service" stations was quite common in Creek and Pawnee counties. If memory serves me....the logo was a horse with wings outlined in red. We had a Magnolia station in Cleveland, Okla. for many, many years. I assume they were bought by a larger company sometime later. ----- Original Message ----- From: dalton <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, October 11, 1999 2:51 PM Subject: Re: [OKCREEK-L] photos > Thanks Jack.

Yes Don, Rowena was my aunt and Jerald was my uncle. They were siblings of my Dad. Both have died - Rowena in 1969 and Jerald in 1994. My Dad is the only surviving sibling. I will pass your info along to Dad - he may know your Mom's stepmother-in-law, although he was several years younger than Rowena and Jerald. I'll let you know. It's great finding someone who actually knows some of my family!! Thanks for getting in touch!
