The Depew Independent
February 13, 1920
New Councilman from Second Ward
The office of Trustee for the second ward has been having a turbulent
career, but we believe it has now found a resting place. A.G.
Utter was elected and when he resigned Chas. Pettegrew was appointed
to fill the place and he resigned and W.M. McGuffee was appointed,
but did not qualify, now Jay Donaldson has been appointed and
qualified. We believe that he will make a good trustee and the
Board made a wise selection in naming him.

Waterworks Have Arrived
A carload of pipe for the mains has arrived and has been hauled
up and distributed over town.

Mrs. I.E. Jones and daughters, Frances and Wanema, left Monday
for Salina, Kas., where they will visit relatives for a few days,
when they will proceed to California, where Mr. Jones is in business.
We regret to see them leave Depew, but join their many friends
in wishing them prosperity and health in their new home.

Barker-Daugherty
Married at the home of the bride in Muskogee Monday February 9th,
Captain Joe K. Barker and Miss Cora B. Daugherty.
Joe Barker is too well known in this vicinity that anything we
might say would not add to the esteem in which he is held. He
is the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. R.P. Barker and came to Depew
with his parents some twelve years ago and has grown to manhood
in our midst. When the United States declared war on Germany he
was the first to volunteer his services to help put the kibosh
on the kairer. He went to Camp Pike, Arkansas Training school
and was made a 2nd Lieutenant and was later promoted to 1st Lieutenant,
and after receiving his discharge, received notice from the war
department that he had been promoted to a Captaincy. The Independent
knows that the bride fills the bill and must be a daisy in every
particular or Joe would not have tied to her.
The Independent joins Joe’s many friends in wishing him the best
there is.

Rev. Peak and the writer went to Oklahoma City Tuesday morning
and got a squint and General John J. Pershing. In the evening
we were invited out to supper at the home of Andarson A. Webb,
a former newspaper man at McCurtain, the former home of Rev. Peak.
Mr. Webb is state publicity man for contagious diseases and one
of the state’s most able man. The writer, along with the many
acquaintances of Mr. Webb in this part of the country are pleased
to see his ability recognized in such a substancial way, as the
position he holds carries a nice salary attachment.

Hamon Wins Fight
In the State Convention at Oklahoma City Wednesday, of which the
writer was a delegate from this county, Harmon was the winner
of the National Committeeman race, beating his competitor, John
Embry, by some 246 votes. Creek county voted as a unit for Mr.
Hamon.
Mrs. P.P. Hillerman, of Sapulpa, was selected as one to go to
Washington next March and cast Oklahoma’s vote in the electoral
college for a Republican President. This is quite an honor for
Creek County and to Mrs. Hillerman.
