Frisco, Oklahoma, Pontotoc County

This
is the "Old Stonewall Bank". We have a new bank building,
about 15 years old, but the old one is now the "City Hall"
and still has the old safe, tellers windows and all still inside. We use
it for a voting place for the town and attached on the west side is the
"Stonewall Volunteer Fire Department" garage and office.

I have been told the bank was robbed by "Pretty Boy Floyd", but I haven't been able to confirm that with research on the internet. I did find the following: "...Apr 21, 1932, George Birdwell and C.C. Patterson rob the First State Bank of Stonewall, Oklahoma, of $600. ...June 7, 1932, Pretty Boy Floyd and George Birdwell meet at a farmhouse near Stonewall, Oklahoma. A police posse arrives and after a gunfight, the outlaws escape. No one is injured." www.geocities.com/~jdillinger/outlaws1.html,

I drove over and took a few pictures of the main road through town, country
road 163 (east/west) with the cemetery sign, then a couple in the
cemetery itself.
It is still being used, but there are no churches or organized groups to maintain it. I belieive the county takes responsiblitly for it now. South Central Oklahoma's Frisco is located in Pontotoc County.
