Waynoka IOOF Odd Fellows Lodge #32… Waynoka IOOF Lodge #32 - What year and Who are they? Are there any Waynoka IOOF Odd Fellows out there… or families of Waynoka IOOF Odd Fellows? We have a group we are also trying to identify. If you look closely in the upper left corner of the photograph you will see a unique buggy. Perhaps it should help us date and maybe identify some of these Odd Fellows. Thanks for any help in advance.

Freedom Picnic BunchFreedomites Picnic Bunch… When it was taken, we are not sure. We need some of you Freedom & NW Oklahoma citizens to check out this photograph to the right showing a bunch of Freedom, Oklahoma citizens on a picnic. We do know that Orange Scott Cummins (Pilgrim Bard) is in the front row, second from the left. In the second row.  The third lady from the right looks like Waona (Cummins) Thomas.  We are told that she was Scott Cummins granddaughter. Can you recognize any of your ancestors in any of these photographs?

“WWI Sept. 1917WWI 1917 & 1918 Photos… One of our readers sent a couple of WWI photos taken around September, 1917 & 1918. We are in search of some names and identifications of those in the these photos. If you can help identify some of these WWI veterans, we would love to hear from you. CLICK the small images on the right and left to view the larger pictures.

WWI Sept. 1918These photos were taken by Chick Studios of Alva. We are also searching for the records of Chick Studio and do they still exist?  IF so… could the date of the portait be determined? Did Chick Studios offer some sort of a deal for departing soldiers to have portraits made with loved ones before they left? If you know of someone that can help us out, please let us hear from you. Thanks! ”
