History of Noble by Elizabeth Bullard (click to read)

Among Elizabeth Bullard’s things are two handwritten drafts of the history of Noble, Cleveland County, Oklahoma, which I transcribed this weekend.  I do not know why she wrote it nor do I know if it was ever published.  My mother-in-law has a vague recollection that the Noble High School Home Economics class asked her to write it for a project on Noble’s history.  Elizabeth, my husband’s maternal grandmother, would have been an excellent person to use as a source of history because her parents arrived in Noble in 1896 and were major contributors to its development (see my post Travel Across the River).

Elizabeth was born in Noble on November 26, 1905 to C.E. & Eva Garee.  She lived in Noble basically her whole life, living in Norman, Oklahoma City and Corpus Christi for short periods of time.  She received her undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Oklahoma and was a teacher at Noble for years.

I created an index for the document and am also including it in this post so that search engines will lead researchers here.  The names in bold are part of my or my husband’s family and I’ve included hyperlinks to more information on a few of the folks.
