Southwestern Oklahoma State University in Weatherford, OK was once Southwest NORMAL School. My grandfather attended. He graduated with a biology degree. I would estimate that to be in the 1930's. Don't know much else about it than that except that SWOSU is a good school for an education degree. SWOSU does have a web site, you might be able to find more about it there.

In Minnesota the Normal schools were a 1 year program for training teachers. I would think that in OK it would have been the same. My Grandmother who is now 101 went to such a school inWinona, MN, as did my first teacher who taught in a one room school house in rural MN.

Hi All -- If someone has a cemetery listing for Eastern OK I would like to request a lookup. The name is Bessie McArthur Tibbet born ~1896 married Ellick Tibbet. I don't know any additional information about either of them. The "family" said that they moved to OK and died there. If anyone has any information on this name I would appreciate any help/suggestions. Thanks, yvonne _______________________________________________ Yvonne Henson WK: 265-0087 HM: 597-0298 "Be Prepared, It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark."

A time-line of land runs in Oklahoma 1889 April 22, First Land Run opened all or part of the present Oklahoma counties of Canadian, Cleveland, Kingfisher, Logan, Oklahoma, and Payne. 1891, September 22. Iowa, Sac, Fox, Pottawatomie, and Shawnee Lands. Lincoln and Pottawatomie Counties (formerly counties "A" and "B") 1892, April 19. Cheyenne and Arapaho land opened by land run. Counties: "C" Blaine, "D" Dewey, "E" Day (obsolete county combined with Ellis county 1907), "F" Roger Mills,"G" Custer, "H" Washita. 1893 September 16. Cherokee Outlet opened by land run. At the time of the 1893 Land Run, there were 7 original counties: O, L, K, P, Q, M and N. It was decided that the inhabitants of each county could select the name after the run. The names selected were Garfield, Grant, Kay, Noble, Pawnee, Woods and Woodward. In 1907 when Oklahoma acquired statehood the following counties were made from existing counties in the Cherokee Outlet: Alfalfa County was formed from Woods County; Ellis County was formed from Day and Woodward Counties; Harper County was formed from Indian Lands, Woods and Woodward Counties; Major County was formed from Woods County. 1895, May 3. Kickapoo lands opened. The smallest and LAST land run in Oklahoma was the Kickapoo opening. Of 206,080 acres in the reservation, 22,640 acres were allotted to the Kickapoos in 283 selections of 80 acres each by March 27, 1895. The remaining 183,440 acres purchased by the federal government were opened to settlers in a land run. The Kickapoo lands were added to Lincoln, Oklahoma and Pottawatomie Counties. There were land openings in 1896 (U.S. Court decision), 1901 (lottery), 1904 (allotment), 1906 (allotment & bids).

There were several land runs, I think, but the one you are talking about was April 22, 1889. Hope this helps. Jann OKC
