Notes:

MEMORIES... by Patricia Beck Hormell
Grandma always had a flower garden with old fashioned bearded iris, peonies, rose of sharon and roses. She even grew flowers between the vegetables. These flowers have become some of my favorite, although I like most flowers. She loved to read and would read everything including magazines, farm journals, books and newspapers.
They never had running water in any of their homes nor an indoor bathroom. They carried water from the pump outside the kitchen to wash dishes and bath. Using the bathroom was a walk down the path to the little wooden building with two seats. In the winter it was a cold visit and in the summer you had to watch out for the bees and wasps making a new home.
I only remember Grandma having white hair. Dad said her hair turned white when she was in her twenties. Until she had a stroke and could no longer take care of it, she wore her hair long (below her waist) but in a braid pinned up around her head. Her hair was a pretty white not the yellow-gray that some people have. I remember when she had to have it cut after Mom tried washing brushing and braiding it while taking care of her. When she recovered from the stroke she continued to keep it short and it was still a very thick and a full head of hair.
I also remember Grandma wearing sun bonnets in the garden and carrying vegetables or eggs in her apron. Both of my grandmothers wore sun bonnets and used their apron for a basket and both of them made their sun bonnets and aprons.

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.

Notes:

Memories... by Patricia Beck Hormell
Dad was very friendly, and even though he was rather quiet he liked to talk to people. You could always find him chatting with someone in his soft spoken way. He worked for his father as a carpenter for awhile, served in the United States Army Air Force during WWII and later worked for Sheffield Tool and Die until they were bought out by Bendix Corporation. After twenty some years at Bendix they had a big layoff and Dad eventually became a Real Estate Agent... did I say he liked to talk? He was a natural at sales.
He was interested in antiques, collected and sold a few over the years; always enjoyed flowers... especially peonies and roses... and then there was hunting and fishing and watching football on TV. Dad also liked woodworking and enjoyed making shelves, quilt racks and other small items out of oak.
When I was about five dad taught me how to care for and use a gun, including the safety rules. He took me hunting where he taught me to skin a rabbit or clean a pheasant, etc. We went fishing and he taught me how gather worms or catch crawdads for bait; bait my hook and clean my catch, even skin a catfish. If you caught it, or shot it, you had to clean it. I enjoyed being in the country, traipsing through the woods or across the cornfields with dad and grandpa. It was good fun.
Dad was very interested in genealogy after I took it up as a hobby and shared what he knew about the family. We roamed through a couple of cemeteries together, visited the courthouse and library and tried to piece this puzzle together. He would be amazed at what I have found through all the exploring of archives, libraries and the internet.
