There is a block of buildings in Guthrie, Oklahoma named the Turner Block. Guthrie was the first Capitol of Oklahoma. June in NH
My daughter lives in Guthrie, OK. The story goes that where ever the state seal is , that's where the capital will be. A group from Oklahoma City snook into Guthrie and removed the seal, moving it to Oklahome City, which now made Oklahoma City the capital. I guess that goes with being the "Sooner" state-people who participated in the land run went "sooner" than they should have and grabbed land before the actual run began. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Tue, 12 Apr 2005 17:16:37 EDT Subject: [TURNER] Info re OK Turners There is a block of buildings in Guthrie, Oklahoma named the Turner Block.
