Hi, While looking in the Alamogordo News for Feb. 1908 I found these news items concerning Oklahoma people: R. G. SHIRK of Granite, Oklahoma recently purchased 5 acres south of the blind institute, and now his brother is here with a view of relocating. Mr. THOMAS of Granite, Oklahoma is here for a short visit. He likes the valley and expects to locate before returning home. Al SHIRK and Mr. THOMAS both of Granite, Oklahoma purchased farms just nort of Alamogordo this week. They are men of means and have unbounded faith in this valley Miss May TATUM of Hobart, Oklahoma is visiting here with her aunt, Mrs. John MILLER. C. O. HARDY of El Reno,Oklahoma, formerly of this place, is here at present with a view of returning to Alamogordo to live. Hope these may be of interest to someone. Joan
