Invoicing—The Ladies
"Lest we forget" is the reason we
are taking an invoice of Norman, not
that we would ask the privilege of
calling back former days and ways as
witnessed by the pioneers who settled
the beautiful land called Oklahoma,
built the cities and lived in gr^ss-cov-
ered homes. Sacred memories cluster
around the past, but the future is be-
fore us laden with work for the peo-
ple of today, and, soon they will be
called pioneers, and the coming gen-
eration will wonder how we lived
without flying machines, but crept
along in automobiles. We will then
take another invoice and tell you all
about it in the Transcript.
To know where we are, it is nec-
essary to take an invoice now and
then and that reminds me that the
first settler in Norman was a woman,
and that the women are not magnified
according to their merits.
♦ They have been over-shadowed by
the men, by what the men have done
Vir thought they did in building our
city. The first woman settler was Mrs.
Andrew Kingkade. She came after
Andrew, and settled him, and that
proves she was an old settler. Mrs. ]
Dollarhide taught the first school, and
settled the children into ways of
learning. She is still living in Norman
and is beginning to like it. Mrs. W. T.
Mayfield is another pioneer woman,
who should share the honor and glory,
of being called a pioneer of our city.
Her many friends have always ap-
preciated her presence in our city and
her guiding hand has helped polish
the diamond in the rough. She re-
minded the writer that Norman had
one beauty spot on the day of the
opening, and that was the gift of na-
ture, in covering the earth where Nor-
man now stands with wild flowers, un-
disturbed by the footprints of man.
Such a robe of beauty has never been
seen since. The passing of the wild
flowers, as the pioneers saw them
| fade and wither, and die, is another
evidence that the works of man are in-
significant when compared with the
I works of the creator, in garnishing
'the earth with the plains and the
mountains, the rivers and the valleys,
and crowned it all with the gift of
flowers to cheer the pioneer on his
way to win the west.
And here on the prairies of Oklaho-
ma where the wigwam of the Indian
stood, when the pioneers first saw it,
a city has been built whose founda-
tion was laid in a bed of flowers. W hy
not perpetuate this beautiful gift be-
stowed upon us by the giver of all
good gifts, Him who rules and reigns
over us ? He gave to the world the
mountains and the sea, and filled the
land with birds and flowers, and why
should Norman forget to keep the
grass growing green and the flowers
that nature gave to gladden the eye
of the pioneer mothers, should not
be neglected to gladden the eyes of
others who may come after us. and
be called pioneers. Some of the pio-
neer mothers who rocked the cradle
in the humble grass-covered home,
when Norman was young, arc sleeping
out yonder at the end of the canna
row, but their works still live, and
brings back sweet memories of long
ago.
