Miner Invites Us
Okla. City, May 5, 1920.
Friend Ramsey,
After so long a time I will try
and write you a few lines this
eve to let you and’ other friends
know where we are and what 1
am doing. I landed in Okla. City
and found me a home on West
8th St. 1616 and while waiting
for it to be vacated I spent a
month visiting my children and
lots of old friends. We went to
Geary, Enid, Alva, Hartdner
Kan., Woodward and then to
Elk City. Now we are located.
I am working for the Magnolia
Petroleum Co. and having an
easy time and good pay. All that
you hear now is Billy Sunday.
We would be glad to have ye
editor and all our friends of
Colony, come see us when in
the city.
Your Friends,
Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Minner.
