    1. Re: [OKMAJOR] History of Major County: DIXON
    2. There is another valuable source of information on residents of the Ames/Drummond area. Lulu Allen (a step-cousin of mine) kept a scrapbook from 1915 through ther death in 1991. It includes many marriage announcements, anniversary announcements, obituaries and various pieces of information on many of the local residents. Unfortunately, she trimmed the newspaper clippings so the dates of the notices are difficult to identify. Upon her death, the scrapbook was donated to the Drummond Historical Society. There is an 1974? obituary for an Evia Ann Dixon as follows: "Lahoma - Evia Ann Dixon, 81, died Friday afternoon following a period of ill health. Funeral services will be conducted Monday at 2 p.m. in the United Church of Lahoma with the Rev. L. Sam Barnes officiating. Burial will follow in Pleasant Hill Cemetery, Meno, under direction of Henninger-Allen Funeral Home. Mrs. Dixon was born Nov. 25, 1892, near Lincoln, Neb., and mae the run into Oklahoma with her parents at the opening of the Cherokee Strip, settling on a farm southwest of Lahoma. This is where she grew up, attending school as Pleasant Valley. She married Otto E. Dixon June 16, 1912, and they made their home on the farm until 1960 when she moved into Lahoma. Mr .Dixon died in 1932. She was a member of the Meno Christian Church. Survivors are three sons. Spencer and Theron of Lahoma and Ercel of Medford; eight grand-children and four great-grand-children. Besides her husband, she was preceded in death by one daughter, a sister and two grand-children." Hope this information helps. Na
