My fiction is based on my Grandma's life, so I've spent hours going through photographs, letters, books, and other artifacts of her life in Roosevelt County. This photo is one of my favorites. On the back, Grandma, or perhaps my great-grandma, wrote "Mr. Maxwell and Son Charles." From the first time I saw it, I imagined what a treasure it would be for Charles's decedents to have this picture and determined to try to get it to them. The problem is, I'm not sure whether Charles had any children. Here is what I know:
The son, Charles, graduated with my Grandma in the class of 1941-42. She was born in 1924. The father in the picture is Charles Colvin Maxwell "Chas." Born December 15, 1886 in Arkansas City, Arkansas, he died December 26, 1923, so he died soon after this photograph was taken. He was married to Euda C. Maxwell who was born December 5, 1885 and died July 1981. They are buried in the Longs Cemetery in Roosevelt County. Charles is listed in a bulletin of the 1993 Rogers School Reunion as "deceased-no details."
That is the extent of what I have. If you have information, get in touch.
