Howard Children's School Enrollments Stealy? Blantonview? Wayne? or Maysville?

 After coming across the Howard Children's school enrollments from 1919-1923 I noticed that the enrollments said either Wayne Schools or Maysville Schools.  However, they didn't live to far from the rural school of Stealy and I am curious to why they didn't attend that school.  Further research into newspapers at that time showed that in September of 1925 Letha, Lee, Ferbie, Irene and Hattie were granted a transfer from school district #48 (which I found out later was the rural school of Blantonview) to the Maysville School District.  So at this time I am not real sure which schools the school enrollments were talking about.  If you have any information about any of these schools please let me know.  

Since I am not 100 percent sure where the Howard Children went to school I will share pictures of the possible schools!

What was the draw for Anders and Christ to move from Iowa to Oklahoma?

What motivated Anders Olson  and Christ Miller to up and move their families to Oklahoma?  They were well established in Jewell, Iowa with homes, a farm with good friends and family.  Anders had only recently purchased farm land from his FIL Christ Miller in September 1895.   Anders would have to leave his two sisters and their families and start anew in Oklahoma.  His children wouldn't have the opportunity to grow up with their cousins.  I am sure it was a hard decision to make.    Document showing Anders' purchase of Christ Miller's farm near Jewell   Christ and Dora moved into Jewell and set up a home there.   As I have written before, Christ had become quite active in the city life of Jewell.  He seemed to be dealing in real estate and taking an active role in city affairs, even running for city council.  He was well respected in his community.     Newspaper articles started appearing in the local papers aro...

Witness in a murder trial! Ralph E Parsons 1914

Image
 While doing some newspaper research, I came across this school notice that Ralph Parsons dismissed school for a couple of days since he was needed as a witness in the trial of the State vs. Joe Myers.  This piqued my interest of what the trial was even about.  Of course after some quick research I found out what had happened.   Murder! The article below explains what happened when Joe Myers murdered his fellow farmer and friend Buck Story.  I have a couple of questions.  Was Ralph Parsons a witness to the murder or was he called as a character witness in the trial?  Now I have to see if I can find the court records and see why Ralph Parsons was needed at the trial.  The murder occurred near Lindsay, Oklahoma  on December 23, 1913 and the trial was held in February of 1914.  At this time Ralph was a teacher at Lindsay School.    So, did Joe Myers get sent prison or was he acquitted of Buck Story's murder?  See below to fin...
