Hi. I'm putting the photos up as we speak. I have two pages ready to upload but since I lost everything recently in a computer crash - It may take a while. I need to find my password info. :o( I know Sheridan is dieing to see them - so I'm hurrying!

Irving Elementary School west of Main Street in Waurika? The flood photo is probably of a Beaver Creek flood, then....that seemed to happen fairly often.

Marion, I'll find the photos and send them - via email. Have you ever heard mention of Minnie Lee STEWART? She was my grgrandmother. Her, husband-General Jackson "Jack" YORK, and children moved to CA in abt 1925 at this point from Healdton, Carter Co. Also, I know there is a Maudelle in my OK lines. All the pics of Stewarts are mine. All the rest on the page are Sheridan's. She is the backbone of the Jefferson Site - I just get it up online!! I'll get back to you later with the photos!

Carlton - Those are wonderful photos! Thanks for sending them in, and thanks to Becky for putting them on line. Some comments, suggestions, and possible identifications: Irving School photo....There was a small Irving community west of Ryan, but I think this photo must be of a different Irving School....maybe a (Washington) Irving School in Waurika? I know a couple of people who grew up in Waurika - will try to see what they know about this... Thelma Cargill photo...says she married Cleve Largent. There's a P.C. Largent living in Waurika now....Pinckney Cleveland Largent, I think....The brick paving shown in the photo is on the east side of the old train depot (which now houses the Waurika Library) Second photo of BH building....I don't remember ever seeing that building....Three stories in Waurika!...possibly a hotel??? "Annie" photo...especially interesting to me because I have a "Dimple Adams" in my family....am not sure of the connection, but she looks just like early photos of my Aunt Hazel... Thanks again for sharing these. I'll let you know if I find out any more about them. Marian

Becky - My brother, Norman Guest, married Betty Jo Stewart from Terral. Don't know much about her family, but I know there are Wallings in her family....maybe her sister, Maudelle, married a Walling.

Marion, I have Guest's married in my STEWART/WILSON lines from south central OK. In fact, I have photos of some from the 60's although I'd never met any. Have Walling's, also.

Posted on: Jefferson Co. Ok Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/Jefferson/524 Surname: Forshee, Mathews, Hall ------------------------- I am looking for information on the Mathews family of Waurika, Oklahoma. Anna Mae Mathews married Benjamin Franklin Forshee in 1923 in Jefferson County. Her father was James Malcum Mathews and her mother was Zorildia Hall. I am trying to locate any information I can on the Mathews/Hall family. I understand they were originally from KY.

OR if you would like, I would be happy to put it up on the Jefferson Co. photo page!

I have a picture of some peole sitting on the door steps of a buildng. On the pillars on each side of the steps there are the initials "BH". One of the people in the picture is a great aunt of mine who lived in Jefferson County for a number of years during the 19 teens.
