Paris, Hurt & Louthan Info

Since my ParisTimes Genealogy database had very few LOUTHAN family data, I did some genealogy research on how my PARIS, HURT and LOUTHAN's were possibly related.

Through my Ancestry.com account I found lots of LOUTHAN connections and information on Gilbert Shirley LOUTHAN.

It looks like John Cope LOUTHAN was the grandfather of Gilbert Shirley LOUTHAN through John's 2nd wife Mary Ann HALE.

Florence T. (LOUTHAN) PARIS' father was Robert Hiram & Belle Claircy (COKERHAM) LOUTHAN.

My Grandmother, Mary Barbara (HURT) PARIS had a sister Emma Jennie HURT who married Samuel Oscar LOUTHAN.

Mary Barbara (HURT) PARIS had a son, Leslie Martin PARIS that married Florence T. Louthan.

Anyway... Samuel Oscar and Robert Hiram Louthan were brothers through John Cope LOUTHAN's 1st wife, Jane HADDOW.

9/11/1908 - Railroaders Win Real Live Game

I was researching The Daily Oklahoman archives this week when I ran across these headlines, dated Sep. 11, 1908, page 10, which read: "Railroaders Win Real Live Game" with sub-headline: "McGill Pitches Good Ball While McClintock Is Knocked Out."

The article began with, "Beat the tom-toms, clash the cymbals, and kick the cow. Enid won the last game by a score of 5 to 4. Persons inclined to be mean might say Enid didn't win it, that the Mets lost it."

From that opening statement it sounds as though Enid's baseball team around 1908 with Parson Frantz as coach did not get much respect from the locals.

It goes on to say, "Why not let Parson Frantz float out of town in the mellow glow of pious achievement and with the halo of victory resting on his classic brow. Anyone who isn't willing to do this much isn't fired with the noble sentiment of poetic justice and, what's more, is no sport."

It was reported that the game was as lively and interesting as a mouse at a meeting of the ladies' aid society. The Mets got an unearned score in the first when Wilhite made an excusable error on Jones' throw to catch Goes, and McCormick made his customary two-base hit. In the third they polled two more on throw hits, a base on balls and Brooks' error in left.

They were saying at that stage of the game nobody would have bet a cent to a dollar on Enid. In the fourth there was a big disturbance, though.

Runkle, first to face McCormick in the fourth inning, hit the first ball pitched for a clean single over second. Did McCormick think he was going to pitch a no-hitter?

Are there any early baseball enthusiasts out there that remember as far back as 9/11/1908 when the Enid Railroaders won a victory against the Mets? OR... Did you hear the stories as the Mets Loss that game?

We would love to hear from you! By the way, that McGill pitching good ball for the Enid Railroaders was this NW Okie's Grandpa, Bill "Will" McGill. -- NW Okie, Bayfield, Colorado

Oklahoma Gas Prices Below $2

11/15/2008 -- "On Wednesday the gasoline price dropped to $1.83.9 per gallon. Yesterday (Friday) it dropped again, to $1.79.9!

Earlier in the week we got more rain. My rain gauges showed a total of 85/100 of an inch (and it has turned cooler). The winds carried in more pollens and several of us are experiencing allergy problems. I now have a deep bass voice (and 'lost' it for awhile yesterday). Fortunately there's only one high note for me in tomorrow's choir special and I can sing a different note that won't detract from the over-all performance." -- Roy K.
