My WESTs came to OK right before the land rush so maybe they wanted land. However, they didn't run. Grandpa opened a nursery and was also a Millwright. He was Walter Marshall WEST Sr. and lived in El Reno, Canadian Co., OK. He and Grandma Mattie Elizibeth "Mattie" BROWN raised three children, Walter Marshall, Jr., Edna Grace, and Gilbert Gordon.
