After my April post, I started working full-time as a library manager. Life has been flying by and my poor blog went to the backburner. I still have so much to add so don't give up on me!
Sharing some historical Bethany finds...
The fire station caught on fire! Date unknown but Earl Harris was the chief volunteer
firefighter at the time. The local elementary school is named Earl Harris Elementary.
Fun fact: The red wheeled cart sitting in front of the current Bethany fire station
was one of the two original fire fighting carts (before vehicles) from when the town was founded!
Here is a photo of Earl Harris Elementary back in 1982 and a more recent 2019 photo.
Bethany-Peniel College (now Southern Nazarene University) students in the 1940s
riding an open carriage down Main Street (aka NW 39th/Route 66).
Here's an old photo of the Lake Overholser dam. Date unknown.
This is the book I am currently reading, Oklahoma Originals by Jonita Mullins.
The stories are so fascinating!
Highly recommend!
