Cashes in for fishing
headquarters in Sulphur. I’d travel
around to different stores wherever he
needed me." Tyler said.
T\ler married Opal Sweeten in 1934
a-ul settled in Sapulpa in 1939 to work
for Wiikhain Packing Company for 3Mi
years. The Ty lers first lived at 603 S.
Water.
The biggest change Tyler has noted
in the town since he settled here is the
growth in housing areas. "The housing
areas past Reasor's Discount Foods
was an open field when I came here. I
used to possum hunt on the land where
all those houses are now,” he said.
There was a street car track down
South Main, too,” he said. “It wasn’t in
operation, but it was still there.”
Tyler left Wickham’s to work for
McCalls Electric Company and became
a journeyman electrician until 1945
when his brother, J.W., suggested he
get into his own business.
He chose the furniture and appliance
business on his brother's advice that it
would thrive after the war.
"J.W. took me around to the sup-
pliers he purchased from and told them
to sell me what I needed and he’d stand
good for it. I started out in a little store
on S. Water Street," he said.
Son Rick said the area of the first
store was no more than 2000 square
feet. The present business en-
compasses 20,000 square feet.
After a year the business moved to 23
N. Main where it remained for 12 years.
Tyler later opened a store at 19 E.
Hobson, where part of the business is
today The E. Hobson Street site was an
fid, r;unshackle building that the
Tylers remodeled. An upper floor had
housed the Potter Milling Company.
The new furniture and appliance
business has spread into three
buildings at 15, 19, and 21 E. Hobson,
Tyler said. In the old store at 23 N. Main
the Tylers used the top floor of the
building to sell used furniture that they
took on trade-ins. Today they have a
separate used furniture store at 6 N.
Main.
Tyler said his middle son, Mike,
plans to replace the used furniture that
fills the store now with quality an-
tiques Tyler isn’t well acquainted with
antiques himself. “Mike is the antiques
expert He’s studied them and can tell
you alwut anything you’d want to
know."
The store is presently jammed with
an array of used and near-antique
condition furniture. A browser will also
stumble across books with 1890’s
copyrights, National Geographies, old
jewelry and campaign buttons.
Reaching to a low counter, Tyler
said, "Since you’re in the newspaper
business, I’ll show you something that
might interest you.” He pulled out a
June, 1904 edition of the Adair Ledger,
carefully wiped off the dust from the
paper’s plastic casing and directed this
reporter to read the story of a lightning-
like surprise whiskey raid on the
drugstores of Tahlequah.
The article revealed changes in
journalistic style which have occurred
over the years. It told how officers
“alighted” from a horse-drawn cab and
entered the drugstores to confiscate
whiskey being sold in various con-
tainers, some of them labeled
“gasoline.” When the liquor was
destroyed and at least one person at
each store arrested, the officers
“repaired to their office."
Developing the business wasn’t all
smooth sailing for the Tylers.
A long-time acquaintance of the
family told the story of the time the
furniture store at 23 N. Main almost got
skunked.
The family had brought a water
cooler in from the country, and after
they had carried it into the store, they
heard a scratching noise from within.
The scratching was found to be caused
by the paws of a skunk trapped in the
cooler.
In a quandary over how to remove the
skunk without giving it a chance to
imbue several thousands of dollars
worth of furniture and upholstery with
its fragrance, they decided that some of
them would take the cooler back to the
country.
They loaded it back on a truck and
took it out of town. Out in the country
they put it down, opened the door, and
"ran like the dickens." When they
ventured back the skunk had gone.
Tyler now divides his time between
helping out at the used furniture store
and fishing. An avid fisherman, he
frequently catches 50 and 60-pound
catfish—he caught a 52 pounder
recently at Keystone Lake—and takes
600 to 700 pounds of fish in May and
June when they are spawning, he said.
He made a hobby of photography for
many years and still takes pictures. A
few years ago, though, he found he
didn’t have time for darkroom work
and sold his processing and photo-
printing equipment.
When efforts were made to contact
Tyler Wednesday, he was out “making
his living fishing.”

DRUMRIGHT - A
Drumright man Tuesday
denied charges that he
robbed a 62-year-old woman
at knifepoint and then raped
her in the living quarters of
her grocery store near here.
Timothy Scott Goodman
pleaded innocent during a
preliminary hearing held in
Drumright to charges
stemming from the March 21
rape-robbery.
District Judge Charles
Woodson Tuesday ordered
Goodman, 19, held under
$20,000 bond pending trial in
the Sapulpa Division of
Creek County District Court
during the October jury
term.
In the preliminary
hearing, a Creek County
deputy said the Drumright
teenager had given
authorities a statement
admitting his guilt in the
sexual assault and armed
robbery of the woman.
However, the victim, a
woman who was living alone
in the small grocery store
she operated, testified she
could not identify her
assailant, who she said wore
a ski mask during the
assault.
Creek County Deputy Bill
McEntire testified that
evidence connecting
Goodman to the rape-
robbery was recovered
shortly after the incident
from a house in Drumright
where Goodman lived with
his grandparents.
Among the items con-
fiscated, McEntire testified,
were a ski mask cut up in
four or five pices, a hunting
knife and a money bag taken
from the grocery containing
approximately $240 in cash
and two checks.
The woman said she had
been in the kitchen in the
rear of her store preparing
