Notes

• Hi, Judy. I recall my great grandmother (Cora Rowley Whitfield) and my grandmother (Julia Whitfield McCallister) talking about a wagon trip they took to Oklahoma to visit family - it had to have been around 1900 or so as Grandmother was a little girl then. I remember her saying how afraid she was of the native Americans. My, how things have changed! (email from Vickie McCallister Kane)
