Mama was born on a farm near the small town of Port, Oklahoma in 1918. She lived through two world wars, The Great Depression, Prohibition, The Jazz Age, The Dust Bowl Days, and the Roaring 20s. This book is about our family’s life experiences in the small towns of Cordell, Clinton and Oklahoma City, our heritage and our mother and the remarkable job she did raising her five children.

I have included as many details as possible about what her life and her children’s lives were like in rural Oklahoma during those years and as much historical data about Washita County and Cordell, Oklahoma as I could find. I have also included details about her children and grandchildren and what an impact she had upon our lives.
