Oldtimers Leave Norman
From Saturda's Daily
Capt. and Mrs. J. M. Bishop
and son Jamie left yesterday af-
ternoon for Chandler, Okla.,
I where they expect to live perma-
' nently. Mss Hazel Bishop has
been there for sometime, having
a good position as teacher, and
thus the whole family will be to-
gether again. They take with
them into their new home the
very best wishes of a large circle
of friends.
Capt. J. M. Bishop was one of
Cleveland county's earliest citi-
zens, and until a few years ago,
when he was stricken with pa-
ralysis, was one of the most ac-
tive. He settled on the claim
south of town now occupied by
Mr. Boyd, the spring on the
place being stll known as "Bish-
op's Spring." He was a member
of the townsite board of Nor-
man, away back in the early days
and few men were more earnest
and energetic in building up the
country. He was an old soldier
prominent in G. A. R. circles, a
leading Mason and Odd Fellow, a
Republican of the old school, a
good citizen and a thoroughly
loyal and well informed man.
May his last days be days of
j peace and contentment.
