The main surnames I am researching in Creek Co. are BARNES, WILLIAMS, PENCE, HOLEMAN and MORGAN. The WILLIAMS and PENCE lines were in the old Mannford area around the early 1900s, then the WILLIAMS moved on to the Drumright area in the 40s. The BARNES came to Creek Co. around 1908 and settled in the area south of Olive. The MORGANs came to Oklahoma in the 1890s and also eventually settled in the area south of Olive. My g-g-grandfather, W. Thomas Morgan was married to Lydia Jane Holeman.

Hi, gang! Our "little" list now has 82 subscribers. We have certainly grown. I know we did it last fall, but we have many new people on here, how about a roll call again? You can just list the surnames you are researching or you can give the area they were in, along with any other information you might like to add. One never knows when a new person might have a puzzle piece you are looking for. Good luck and happy hunting! Kathy

Hi All, I'm just going to clear up this sterilization issue regarding the children raised in Charles Page's Home. My father was raised there and I am here to prove they were NOT sterilized! Four of his brothers and sisters were raised there also and they each had children. "The Home" was privately funded by Charles Page and is located in Sand Springs, Tulsa Co. It is still there and my father recently attended a reunion. The Home is now used for neglected/abused children or those unable to stay in there own homes for some reason. For anyone interested, my father has written a short biography of his days in The Home. He had a good childhood and, for the most part, was treated very well there. The Home opened in the early 1900's and my father left it in the 1940's. I don't know when it switched from an orphanage to a group home. Charles Page, generous entrepenuer that he was, also developed a widow's colony nearby. Also, through the (I believe) Sand Springs Chamber of Commerce, one can obtain a book written about Charles Page and his orphanage. There are pictures of my father in the book, some of the very few I've seen of him when he was little (gee, Dad, I didn't know you played the French horn!). The book is called "A Fool's Enterprise," by Opal Bennefield Clark, another orphan raised by Mr. Pages generousity. The only policy of The Home, that I'm aware of, that went against the grain was their policy of keeping families together. The Home had a 'no adoption' policy so that brothers and sisters would stay together. My uncle was one of the youngest children ever to enter The Home and he had numerous offers to adopt, but the orphanage thought it more important that he stay with his siblings. I think that was a good idea and grew up knowing many loving aunts and uncles. Also, for anyone interested, I have a few e-mail addresses of others who had family who grew up in The Home, which I'd be happy to share. And, I'm sure my father wouldn't mind telling you personally of his experiences in The Home. With few exceptions, he talks fondly of his childhood......

Sandy is not a part of our mailing list, please cc a copy of your reply to her or post your reply to the "Query Elf" board at http://www.InsideTheWeb.com/messageboard/mbs.cgi/mb115183 Thanks, Marti ---------Original Message------------- mailto:[email protected] - Sandy Cotter Looking for information on this orphanage, heard it was in Sand Springs, Tulsa County, around 1915-20. My g-aunt and uncle were placed there when father abandoned family. Understand it may have been privately funded, possibly by the namesake Charlie Page. Family rumor has it that the children placed there were sterilized so they would not have children. In my g-aunt/uncle's case, it seems to have been true.

My grandparents were William Ernest RENFRO and Birdie Woolem RENFRO, they were from St. Francois Co., MO when they married in 1912, in 1918 they moved to Creek Co., but when I checked the 1920 census I could find either of their names, I'm sure they were there then... Wm. worked in the oil fields, anyone have any other ideas to check? Donna Penn Valley, CA http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/3303
