This is a picture of my grandparents,
Dallas Darrell DOWNS Sr. & Philena WATERS. The photo
was taken about 1895 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Territory.
Oklahoma didn't become a state until 1907.
Dallas Darrell DOWNS was born 9 Feb 1876 in New Lebanon, Cooper Co., MO, the second son of William Henry DOWNS and Frances Eva STEELE.
Dallas left this life on 29 Aug 1938 in Tryon, Lincoln Co., OK and is buried in the Tryon Cemetery. About 1896, Dallas married Philenas
WATERS who was born 31 May 1878 in Jackson Co., KS. Philena was the daughter of Charles and Martha WATERS. She departed this life on 31
Oct 1958 and is buried next to Dallas in the Tryon Cemetery at Tryon.
