Wadley Regional Medical Center celebrated 100 years of service to the community with a Centennial Celebration from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday at the hospital. "When you think of firsts in health care, Wadley leads the way," said Jim Summersett, president and CEO of Wadley. "That's why we saw it fitting to have this celebration on the first day it has rained in six months." Even with the wet weather, the celebration still had a good turnout with festivities held under the covered section of the hospital. Numerous people with connections to Wadley attended the event, including the first patient who was transferred from Texarkana Sanitarium and Hospital to the new facility. "This hospital was built on the foundation of people working together to help others," Summersett said. The hospital first opened its doors in 1900 to serve the growing needs in Texarkana, a town that was barely 25 years old. This need was recognized by three local physicians, Drs. S.A. Collom, George C. Abell and T.F. Kittrell. They later were joined by a fourth physician, Dr. R.H.T. Mann. Texarkana's first hospital opened in a private, three-story residence at 517 Pine St. and was called Pine Street Sanitarium. The hospital later was incorporated as Texarkana Sanitarium and Hospital in June 1901. Sunday's celebration was marked with several activities, including face painting, tattoos, scrapbook displays, giveaways and balloon sculptures. Vehicles manufactured in the 100-year timespan of Wadley's history also were on display. An old-fashioned street clock, dedicated by the Wadley Regional Auxiliary, was presented and unveiled on the front lawn. A time capsule was buried near the clock. Those in attendance thought the celebration was a different but positive thing to have. "I'm not familiar with the hospital but this seems like a good thing," said Tony Atkins. "There are all types of things going on for the whole family to enjoy. I didn't know such things were done." Atkins, who is from Hugo, Okla., was here with Ed Holiday, also of Hugo. Holiday said his brother, Bill, was in an accident and airlifted from St. Joseph's Hospital in Paris, Texas, to Wadley. "They could have flown him to Dallas or somewhere else," Holiday said. "They must think highly of this place to bring him here." By KEVIN RUSS of the Gazette Staff [email protected]

I was wondering if someone could do a cemetery lookup for me. I know the person died around Dalby Springs, Bowie, TX. The last name is Read. He died between 1898-1900. I am sorry I don't know his first name. Thank you Christine

Museum of the Red River Web Site, Native American Artifacts & Art Idabel, Oklahoma http://www.museumoftheredriver.org./ Some of the finest examples of American Indian art and artifacts are found at the Museum of the Red River. Housing over 20,000 objects in its collections, the Museum sponsors exhibits, lectures, and other programs, and supports ongoing research efforts in the study of American native peoples. In its early years, the Museum's primary focus was the "Caddoan Archaeological Zone" ( * southeastern Oklahoma, * northeastern Texas, and * southwestern Arkansas). Excavations in cooperation with state and federal agencies recovered artifacts associated with Caddoan Indian groups, who were active in the area from about 900-1700. Other sites dating from 10,000 years ago to historic times were also discovered and tested. Some of the more recent ones included homes associated with the Choctaw Indians, who were moved into Oklahoma from their Mississippi homelands in the 1830s. They remain the dominant native group in the area today. While the Museum no longer conducts archaeological fieldwork, it does continue to support the efforts of other organizations and independent scholars by providing in-kind services, financial support, and a publications program. The collections of the Museum include the archaeological holdings plus ethnographic works and contemporary native arts and crafts from throughout the Americas. Particular strengths include material from north American Southwest, Plains, and Southeastern groups, as well as important holdings of Precolumbian (before 1492) objects from Middle and South America. The Museum of the Red River is operated by the Herron Foundation, a non-profit Oklahoma corporation, chartered in 1974, and considered a department of the City of Idabel. The membership and support organization for the Museum is the separately incorporated Idabel Museum Society. Annual and special gifts are received from individuals, corporations and foundations. Museum Hours: Tuesday - Saturday: 10:00am to 5:00pm Sunday: 11:00am to 4:00pm <A HREF="http://www.museumoftheredriver.org./">Museum of The Red River: Native American Artifacts & Art</A>

There was a marriage December 09, 1874 at DeKalb, Bowie County, Texas between a Mary Belle Hogland and John Smith Walker. Could someone tell me if they have any information on either of these two people? I would like to confirm who her family was and her full name, birth date, and the names of parents or siblings. I have information that says her husband did not know his wife's birth date and the names of her parents. I find this very strange since they had ten children. I am moving backwards in my research to see who this Mary Belle Hogland's parents were. She died February 2, 1929 in Depew, OK.

Hi I'm new to the list. My family is from the Texarkana area. I've hit a couple of brick walls on Texarkana research and am hoping to find more information. I'm researching the following surnames from Texarkana: Green, Park, Spears, and Krueger.

Ok, Glad we found it! Hey, when your asking your questions, find out for us why it is all "boys only"... Thanks, V

V.: Here's what Mom had to say about where Mill Creek School was. Kathy Duncan "Yep... know them all.....aren't they sweet. It is the Mill Creek School that at one time was on the Mill Creek Road. Now High Way 114, go North on 911 (out of Avery)it intersects with 114, take a left (West) go up the hill and it was on the top of the hill on the left. I would guess no more than a 1/2 mile. Dewitt Lennon lived across the road and just a hair to the east of the school. mom"

V.R.: COOL!!!!!!!!!! You mean Mill Creek School. It was in the vicinity of the Jackson and Henrietta cemeteries in Red River County, TX. Just north of Avery between English and Spring Hill. In your photo are my uncle, Dewitt Lennon, and my father's cousin, Lane Duncan. Both of them still live in Avery. What a great find. My mother went to the Mill Creek School. The teachers always boarded at her house. I will forward this to her, and she can us exactly where the school was. Thanks for sharing this with the list.

P. S. on the Mills Creek School: The photo appears to be all boys. Vicki

Can anyone help me locate the area around DeKalb maybe? that was known as Mills Creek? And had a School? Comunity? We have a picture of Mills Creek School 1930, and I looked in the vanished landmarks, and there was a Mills Creek Stream, I think it ran through both Bowie and Red River counties. But I would really like to be able to pinpoint the location of this old school. Please look at the picture here: http://www.rootsweb.com/~txbowie/millcreek1930.html <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~txbowie/millcreek1930.html">Mill Creek 1930 </A> And tell me if anyone looks familiar, and let me know about the location if you know. Thanks, V. R.
