Eric, Tried to send you a message yesterday, but had email trouble. I wishe I could be of more help to you. I am moving to a home in the next few days here in Harrison, Ar., but I suggest that you phone D. Earl Newsom in Stillwater. He's in the phone book. He has two books out on the Drumright area, and he might have some ideas on where to search. I don't if files are available for the 1880 area. The Oklahome Historical Society is another possibility. I tried to find info on early 1920 cases, and, evidently, nothing is available. Newsom may be on the internet(he was planning to get on, but I don't if he ever did) There are a number of unsolved murders and disappearances in Creek County. More later, and stay in touch.
