Happy Easter From Comanche, OK - 1945

Happy Easter!

And the angel answered and said unto the women,

 Fear not ye: for I know ye seek Jesus who was crucified.

He is not here:

for He is risen, as He said . . .

Matthew 28:5-6 (KJV)

Oklahoma To Me - 23rd Verse

Oklahoma to me . . .

is the smell of White Rain hairspray, the only way to

get that big revival time hair.

The higher the hair, the closer to God.

Love,

Territory Mom

Thanks sis for this one.

Church on Sunday Morning - Part 2

This is the Assembly of God Church in Wetumka, OK. Its still standing. It looks like it was the 1940's because of their clothes and you can see some cars parked by the side of the church. My grandpa aka "preacher man" pastored this church, but I believe this photo was taken before his time because no one in my family is pictured.

It must be after the war because everyone is so well dressed or just wearing their Sunday best. Wetumka is a rural community, part of the "We circle", which is what I call the area. The area includes the towns of Wewoka, Wetumka and Weleetka, which is in the Creek Nation.

Have a great Sunday,

Church on Sunday Morning . . .

This is the First Assembly of God Church in Comanche, OK. Written on the back of the photo is: Rev. David Roper, Pastor - May, 1945. My great grandparents (Barham) are pictured along with my grandma and my mom. None of them are together. I guess everyone just ran out of the church and got in line for a picture.

I wonder what they were thinking, like the guy in overalls who has something in his eye or the man on the other end whose kid won't stop moving, things haven't changed much. You know the lady in the back is sure glad she wore her pretty white bow.

Have a great day,

Territory Mom
