Surnames: Adkisson, Kendall Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/EZB.2ACE/1144 Message Board Post: I am looking for information regarding my Great Aunt Mary Adkisson - Kendall. Mary G. Adkisson lived with her parents in 1910 in Meade Co., KY according to the US Census. At that time she is 19 and employed as a teacher. Although I do not have any details, I understand she married Curtis Kendall in 1920. Her niece says that Mary suffered from Asthma and required a different climate. She and her husband, Curtis, moved to Oklahoma and never returned. At 15 years of age, Curtis is listed in the 1910 Census as a hired hand. Therefore, without family, there is no reason for him to return to Kentucky. Mary's niece does not believe she and Curtis ever had any children. In the 1930 US Census, Mary and Curtis are located in Tulsa, Tulsa Co., Oklahoma. Mary owns and operates a Café and Curtis is an Auto Parts Manager. I have not been able to find their date of death, obtit., or anything else about their life in Oklahoma. Please let me know if you have any information which could help.

I did find this article on the history of Glenpool, which states that Glenpool received it's name in 1908, so it makes sense that it's citizens should be on the 1910 census. I live in Tulsa, so if there is something specific I could look up for you, I will do so. Here is the article about Glenpool. Glenpool, OK Information Abstracted from: Tulsa County Historic Sites July 1982: Prepared by the Community Planning Division Indian Nations Council of Governments for the Tulsa County Historical Society (Financed in part with Federal funds ...) This spiral bound report is a survey to determine possible sites within Tulsa County for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places or Oklahoma Landmarks Inventory. This report includes not only the historical information abstracted here but also: current information on the town (as of 1982); a review of the area(s) surveyed; a detailed listing of the sites investigated (date built, by whom, who owns/lives there now); sites accepted or rejected and the reasons why; a map of each town surveyed with the sites investigated numbered and marked on the map. The towns surveyed are: Bixby, Broken Arrow, Collinsville, Glenpool, Jenks, Owasso, Sand Springs, Skiatook, Sperry, Tulsa and Tulsa County. This report is located at the Tulsa Central Library - 4th FL Reference Section. Glenpool, in the southwest portion of Tulsa County, is the home of what was once known as the world's largest oil field. The Town of Glenpool existed for many years as a boom town or tent city to support the oil field workers and was not organized into a formal town until after statehood. Robert Galbreath had come to the Creek Nation, Indian Territory in 1901 searching for oil. Local histories tell that on July 3, 1901, Galbreath went to Creek Indian Ida E. Glenn's farm (and allotment) where Roger Glenn, Ida's husband showed him a heavily oil-stained limestone ledge. Galbreath took a hammer and broke off a chunk. Inside he found a molecule of thick green oil. Glenn and Galbreath immediately agreed informally that a test well would be sunk on the Glenn farm as soon as federal restrictions regarding Indian lands relaxed to sign the lease. Almost three years later, on April 22, 1905, the lease for 160 acres was signed by Robert Glenn, Robert Galbreath and Frank Chesley. In Octo! ber, drilling on the test well began and on November 22, 1905, at a depth of 1,458 feet, Galbreath and Chesley struck oil. "It was 5 o'clock, very clear and chilly, and the Ida E. Glenn was in."' (1) By Thanksgiving, the Ida E. Glenn free flowed 85 barrels a day. By 1906, the oil boom was serious. Galbreath drilled a second well within 300 feet of his first well and hit oil again. Men began chasing madly after leases and paying exorbitant prices to drill wells. Galbreath struck again, bringing in the Ida Glenn #3. The field was now roughly two miles long and derricks were pumping night and day; only four wells were in and three of those were Galbreath's. The Town of Glenpool did not really exist yet. What did exist was a cluster of 12 families in a settlement called Glenn. The towns of Keifer, Sapulpa, Mounds and Tulsa were all feuding over who owned the field. In May, the burgeoning field got its name: it became known as Glennpool, Glenn Pool or GlennPool, taking its name from Ida E. Glenn, the Creek Indian woman upon whose allotment Galbreath first struck oil. In late 1906, both the Texas Oil Company and Gulf Oil Company announced plans to bring eight inch pipelines to Glenn Pool to transport oil to their Texas refineries. The field was really growing and had been recognized by The Oil Investor's Journal as a major center for oil production. After one year, the Glenn Pool had 127 wells that had been drilled; 107 struck oil, 12 found gas and 11 were dry. Besides the 107 producing wells, 24 other wells were drilling and 33 rigs were preparing to drill. (2) The Glenn Pool would have hundreds of different names that figured in its development. Some unforgettable ones were: Galbreath and Company, Associated Producer's Company, Creek Oil Company, W. H. Millkien, Bonacker, Quaker Oil Company, Prairie Oil and Gas, Shawnee Oil Company, Litchfie1d, Sawyer and Company, Laurel Oil Company, and Selby Oil Company. (3) The field was three miles wide and four miles long. It was producing 52,000 barrels a day, an average of 500 barrels per well. Robert Galbreath was now referred to as the "Oil King of the Southwest" and was "rated the richest man in Oklahoma." (4) 1907 was the Glenn Pool's best year. After that, it became increasingly under the control of Gulf, Texaco and Prairie Oil and Gas. Robert Galbreath grew weary of the congestion that the new pipelines did not resolve. He sold his holdings to Edgar Crosbie for $500,000. Frank Chesley had sold out to Crosbie a few months earlier for $200,000. The Glenn Pool has been special to Tulsa since late 1905. More than 300,000,000 barrels have been taken from it in 75 years. When the Glenn Pool's 50th anniversary was celebrated in 1955, a member of the Tulsa Chamber of Commerce said "Glenn Pool put Tulsa on the map. (5) The small settlement of Glenn grew with the oil field. By 1907, it had jumped from 12 families to 3,000 people, but as yet had no official status. On October 4, 1907, R. J. and Pearl (Barber) Stewart deeded Pearl's Creek Indian allotment to F. Markle and M. T. Self. They surveyed lots and platted 40 plus acres near Highway 75 and 141st Street South on January 31, 1908, renaming their townsite Glenpool. John Burt, Sr., from Oklahoma City, purchased most of the remaining Barber-Stewart allotment and the majority of the lots from Markie and Self. Burt sold half interest to Mr. Rumrill and together the two of them owned the townsite company. (6) Early day pioneers can still remember when the south end of town was known as Tent City or Rag City. This end of town had only board sidewalks and was the home of many of the oil field workers. The northern end of town was referred to as Brick Flats. In addition to row upon row of apartment houses, this end of town housed the bank and the opera house. Early day businesses included Mid Self Drug Store on the south side of Main Street, Naifeh's Grocery Store, the Post Office near the railroad track, Burns Tank Farm, the Midland Valley Railroad Depot, Fred Markie's Store and Jim Wilmont's Rooming House. Glenpool had the richest school district in the new state. In 1907, Robert Galbreath offered $1,000 for the construction of a building to be used for school and church purposes. A two room frame school house was erected in 1908 with the money. (7) At this time, there were 205 children of school age in the school district. "For each child, there was an oil well and a 55,000 barrel tank of the illuminating fluid". (8) The total cost of the school plant after several additions was $200,000. In 1952, this school burned. The existing school was rebuilt on the same site almost immediately afterward. The first mayor of Glenpool was E. L. Noble who was quickly succeeded by Floyd Vowell. Other early day officials included V. Cumby who served as councilman, postmaster and member of the school board. Mary Wilmont was an early day post-mistress. C. W. Lee and Fred Jeffries were early councilmen. Early school superintendents included Mr. Henshaw, Frank Pauley, and R. F. Burt. (9)

Sherman Forrest/Forest born September 1891 in AR, died in 1938 and is buried in the Covey Rosencutter Cemetery, Jenks. I have a photo of his tombstone. He and his second wife, Fannie Bland, are living in Jenks at the time of the 1930 census. Fannie's previous husband was William Bland and they had one child Mattie Bland. On the 1930 census, Mattie is living with her mother Fannie and step-father Sherman. Mattie married Charles Chandler and became a well-known school teacher. Also living with Fannie and Sherman in 1930 is Sherman's daughter with his first wife. The daughter was named "Izzie". I have not been able to locate any info on Sherman, other than the info above. Is there anyone on the list who could help in locating his actual date of death and any records relating to his death, such as obit/funeral record? I would like to know the names of his parents. What happened to his daughter Izzie/? Did she marry? Thanks for your help. Penny pennypeace@prodigy.net

I have transcribed the only Finchum family who shows in the Tulsa County 1930 census. The census names and info were a little hard to read so this is my best guess: 1930 Census, Bixby Township, Tulsa County, OK, ED:72-2, Sh-9B, Pg-22B, 16 Apr 1930: 168/168 - Line 67 Finchum, Harley? head mw43 m-21 TN/US/US farmer - general farm , Elnora wife fw43 m-21 MO/US/US , Hilsey? son mw20 s AR/TN/MO labor - farm , Bernece? dau fw16 s AR/TN/MO , Dona? dau fw12 s AR/TN/MO , Ruby Faye dau fw8 s AR/TN/MO Knight, Alice mo-n-law fw72 wd-22 IN?/AR/AR Note: The names with question marks were my best guesses. The number after the marital status indicates the age at which this person first married (m-21, e.g., indicates the he/she was married at the time of this census and that he/she was 21 years old when first married). Note: The name Burnese might be Denice? Note: Bixby is a small town just SE of Tulsa. In fact, today it is almost a suburb of Tulsa. If this family contains your father and he was alive during this census, this might be his family?? Hope this helps. Also, I believe that the talest building in Tulsa in 1965 was the First National Bank located on Boston street between 3rd and 4th.
