Lawton Constitution (Lawton, Oklahoma) June 14, 1964 |
Former Resident Amazed By City
A 78-year old Ohio woman who lived in Lawton before statehood visited here Saturday and expressed amazement at the city's growth since she left 57 years ago.
The visitor was Mrs. Ethel Beck, 78, Port Jefferson, Ohio, whose late husband, Walter H. Beck, built one of the first large farm buildings in Comanche county before statehood.
Mrs. Beck was traveling with her son, Thearen Beck, Englewood Ohio, and his wife, Charlotte, and daughter, Mary Ann, 5. He has been on business trips to San Antonio and Oklahoma City, and they decided to spend the weekend in Lawton to give his mother an opportunity to visit old landmarks of the area.

letter to classmates |
Dear Classmates,
Thearen and I was very much surprised to find a package of letters in our mail box. Like everyone else we read them with delight.
We have been married since Dec. "41" and blessed with two daughters. We have a red head who is 27 and a blonde 11 year old. We also hav a 5 year (old) granddaughter.
Our little blonde keeps us hopping because she lives every minute of the day.
Thearen has worked at Bendix 20 years and is a Foreman. He sees Bruce B. when he gets to the Dayton Plant.
We will be looking for these letters with anticipation.
Sincerely
Thearen & Charlotte
I see our class has spread out as much as B. Buckey. Most of us wish we were as thin as Browns hair.

Notes |
Memories... by Patricia Beck Hormell
Mom always had a needle nearby, whether it was a sewing needle, crochet hook or knitting needles. She made quilts, afghans, sweaters, tablecloths, pillowcases, baby clothes, dolls, toys and ornaments. She taught me to sew, embroidery and tried to teach me how to crochet. Eventually mom gave up when I kept wanting to switch hands in the middle, so I went on to learn from a book and we shared patterns. I also learned you just can't switch from left handed to right handed in the middle of a project.
We used to go to the orchards and pick cherries, apples or strawberries for canning and preserving. Mom made the best homemade apple butter and applesauce. With her help I learned to make jelly, can fruits and vegetables, clean and cut up chickens for the freezer, and cook. Spring time was always a busy time around our home.
While I was growing up, mom would have the record player or radio tuned to country music while sweeping or dusting or spring cleaning. When records gave way to CD's and a portable player she plugged in her earphones and still enjoyed country music.
