The Depew Independent January 30, 1920 Depew Folks Hurt in Wreck The west bound Governor went into the ditch Friday morning and Mrs. N.M. Adkinson, Mrs. Bert McCauley and Mrs. Grant Edmonson were all more or less injured. The car which they were in turned completely over cutting and bruising them up considerably. At this writing they are getting along as well as could be expected. The Frisco claim agent was here Sunday and settled with all of them for their injuries. All are well known colored women of our town. ---------- " And He said let there be light," this was not intended for Depew. If it was we are not livingup to this injunction. Depew has a set or series of street lights-yes it has, because the writer has seen them in day time. It is true that people visiting Depew for the first time after it gets dark would go away sure that we had no such animal as a street light, but we have. Why not get them in running order and "show off" a little--put on some city airs, so to speak. People getting off the late trains at the depot have to ask the way to town. There are no lights to indicate that there is a town up here on the hill. Another Location Made We understand, upon pretty good authority, that a location has been made in Section 8, 14, 8 about seven miles south of Depew, on the Dr. Lumm farm. This is territory that has never been drilled into and should oil be found it would be a big thing for depew.

The Prarie test south of town is going right down. We understand that they are down about 700 feet now. ---------- Arthur Newman and Miss Bessie Rosson were married a few days ago. We just happened to notice in a Sapulpa paper where they had procured the license. Arthur is a prosperous farmer living seven miles south of town and the bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chas Rosson. ---------- Rev. Speakman, Baptist minister, will be at the M.E. Church Monday evening, February 2nd. New Cotton Chopper Here Tuesday the working model of Richard Prham’s Cotton Chopper arrived from Oklahoma City and is on exhibition just west of the Independent office. The Inventor is a colored man, who did not get the full advantage of an early schooling, but the shortage was made up with plenty of good common horse sense and he has a round hard head chuck full of ideas.
