In discussing the Duncan family query, the fact that Milt Duncan used to host boxing matches in the loft of his barn was interesting. My brother said he had heard that there were several places (barns, etc.) around the Garber area where boxing matches were held. Sounds like it was a pretty popular passtime. Anyone have any information on this? This particular one was right on Red Rock Creek. Red Rock Creek has on occasion flooded and without much warning. The family on this farm was rescued from a flood once by going to the boxing match area of the barn. -----Original Message----- From: john and marilynn oneall <meoall@email.msn.com> To: OKGARFIE-L@rootsweb.com <OKGARFIE-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Saturday, September 18, 1999 5:29 PM Subject: [OKGARFIE-L] School year of 1909-1910 at Happy Valley School >To Garfield County, Oklahoma subscribers: > >My mother and her parents and siblings lived in Waukomis, Oklahoma, from >about 1903 to 1910. > >I recently found in my mother's papers a publication entitled: > "BOOK OF 1909-1910", from the Happy Valley School, District No. 84, >Garfield Co., Oklahoma.

What school was that. Does it mention the school at Pond Creek? Rosalind Kelly

Hi Marilynn Just going thru my email and some of the family showed up. My mother was adopted by the older sister of the Finkerbinder ( Albert, Nora and Frank ) Her name was Irene, She was married to Elmer Smith. They adopted my mother in or around 1911 or 12. Was told they were homesteading around Drummons OK. My mother was part Cherokee, or I was told that. Her mother was Mable Thomas and father was Albert Cody. Both parents died soon after the birth of a brother. Who was Delburt Eugene Cody. Mother name was changed when she was adopted, could have been Burnice or Blanch. Mom said she was born in Lahoma, OK. If you or any one else has any information on it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance,Rich Green RHG2MPS@aol.com

There is an entry in the Garfield County History Book, published 1982, that lists a Rev. J. B. Rogers who came to O.T. to hold a revival, liked the area, went back to Gilman City, MO, to bring his family to O.T. This was in 1894. They were in the Pleasant Valley area, east of Waukomis. Children listed were Obe, Charlie, Walter, Lee, Clara, Belle.
