I was watching the History on Tv and see a story on a Man Name LT. Col Ernest Edwin Evans (13 August 1908–25 October 1944) He was an officer of the United States Navy who received the Medal of Honor posthumously for his actions during World War II.
I see that he was Three quarters Cherokee Indian, Evans was born in Pawnee, Oklahoma. He graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1931.
Does your city recognize Him?

I got to live in Pawnee for several months and I really miss it sometimes. You suprisingly have a lot to offer for a small town. Pawnee Bill's buffalo ranch and Pawnee Lake truly are two of the greatest places to visit-daily!
I paid a penny for my little one to ride the horse in that main street store (I'm sorry I don't remember the name of it)like her daddy did 35 years ago! I also enjoyed the annual Pawnee Nation Pow-wow in July. |

My grandparents lived in House Creek during the 1930 census. Where is that now? Thanks for the info. I have found several families mentioned in my grandmother's diary of 1929. They were farmers. |

Dana,
I am a Lifetime member of the PCHS & would like to know about the First Family Project to see if I qualify. I have been to your great museum several times & visited your daughter & husband taking pictures of the Miller homestead since I am a descendant of Chester Gould through his mother. Please e-mail me a form or what I need to document to prove this First Family status.

Could i get email address of someone up there to whom i might send a question. my wife and I are planning a trip (likely next summer) to various places in Oklahoma,including (maybe) Pawnee county. My wife lived in Quay when her father worked for an oil company in 30's. We think Quay is in Pawnee county.... right? wrong? The main thing we are looking for is some photo(s) of Quay in the oil boom days. It is pretty quiet now. Thanks for any info.
Re Hallett depot photo: (a) I'd love to get a copy of scanned photo. (b) my railroad timetable book (reprint) shows both MKT and Frisco lines running through there. Couple of trains a day each way for each line. Comment was posted by Bill Parrish in October. If you can give me his email i will write him. or you give him mine (mullo25@).
I am interested in trains. My wife interested in Okla because she born in hospital at Stillwater while parents lived in Quay. I do have a photo (via email ) of tank car train near Quay - presumably on the line east of Quay (running north/south). If i can find it now i will email it to you if you want it or have a way to park it somewhere. Got via internet from (?) University of California Berkeley... located via Google scan.

Hope to visit your city (Pawnee) this summer--I have an aunt and uncle buried in one of your cemeteries. Also, spent some time in Tulsa a few years ago and fell in love with area.
Oh, yeah, will be riding the motorcycle for the fine roads in the area. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

My grandfather, JD Turner, known to many as 'uncle Dee', was a long-time resident of Pawnee. Wished I knew more about him. Always wondered if he knew Pawnee Bill, I assume he did since they lived just a couple of miles apart on the West edge of town.
My son and I were in Tennesee recently, to renovated the Turner family cemetary on the old plantation. The cemetery has about 19 graves, with the last burial over 100 years ago. It is located in a large pasture and had been neglected since about 1900. |

Bill.. my apologies for being so tardy on approving your post.. we've been inundated by spammers... again :-(
You should get an email from someone at the society soon.. the photo sounds like an exciting find and could very well be Hallet, OK! THANKS! |
