Welcome To
Speermoore, Harper Co, Oklahoma
1901 - 1930
23-24 25N 26W
Speermoore, established ca. 1901, is a defunct town. It was located
Sec.23-24 TWP25N RNG26W; very near the Beaver County line. The name
of the
town came from its earliest settlers W. H. SPEER and Willie MOORE.
Among the businesses over the years, Speermoore boasted the
following: blacksmith shop, grocery/mercantile and newspaper office
(Speermoore Advocate), hardware store, livery stable, hotel, feed
store, produce house, gas and oil business, barber shop, bank
drugstore, creamery, two churches (Baptist and Nazarene), a telephone
exchange, and the Union Center District number 63 school. The post
Office was a Star Route out of Gage (Ellis Co. OK).
Dick BOREN, and his son Alen, of Beaver Co. also operated a business
there, but I don't know what type of business.
Among the burials at Speermoore Cemetery are:
L. B. BREON 1913 - 1914
This tombstone should read: L. D. BREON
L. D. BREON b. 1913 d. 3 August 1914 age 11 months was the son
of Frank BREON.
