One of my Uncles, Charlie HOWARD, b. 1909 in OK. (now deceased) worked for a glass factory in or near Okmulgee, OK. in the late 1920's or early 30's. Could someone tell me anything about that factory? He also played baseball in the same area. I have been told he was good enough to have been asked to sign up for the Majors during this same timeframe, unknown which team. I do know that family lore has told many tales of his baseball 'career' I know also that this glass factory gave him time off from work to go down to Bower, OK. for his ball games. Does anyone know which team would have been in that area during the 20's and 30's ? If anyone has any ideas as to how I could learn more about this factory and ball team, I really would appreciate hearing from you. One sad note... Uncle Charlie's widow, Lahoma (WILSON) HOWARD is gravely ill as I write this. Their only daughter just called today with this hearbreaking news. Thanks for any help. Sandy in AZ.
