Old Settlers Association, began in 1912
. "On April 19, 1912, the Old Settlers Association of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Country was formed in Cheyenne. Purpose of the organization stated was to "preserve the history of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Country of Oklahoma." This area comprised the counties of Roger Mills, Custer, Washita, Blaine and Dewey and parts of Kingfisher and Canadian.
. First officers of the association were President Dr. J. P. Miller, Secretary and Treasurer Della I. (Cann) Young. {Mrs. Young held this office until 1945…"
1917 OLD SETTLERS
{Handwritten account of the 1917 Cheyenne-Arapaho Old Settlers celebration by Della Cann Young.}
. "Mrs. Della Young's address was entitled "Early Days in Roger Mills County" which was full of early day incidents of this county and was of interest both to the new and old settlers.
. Mr. W.A. (William Allison) Young, age 73, on a fine horse and bearing an immense flag led the parade. Mr. Young had the honor of being in Roger Mills County prior to any other man in the assembly (having passed through in quest of stolen horses in 1880). Mr. W.W. Anderson rode to his left and Judge John E. Leary to his right. The snow-white hair of the three veteran pioneers glistened in the sunshine as they rode in stately grace through the streets of the dear old town.
. Mrs. Della Cann Young, Secretary of the Old Timers, then read telegrams and messages sent from distant pioneers and a letter from Mrs. Jessie Goodwin Gill now of Catalina Island, CA, the first white woman in Cheyenne and the first girl married in the new country. Mrs. Young did not neglect to ride her hobby, Community Life, before such a large and appreciative audience."
. "Grass" was written by Della Cann Young who was the wife of Clyde Young, son of Will and Lizzie Young. She was unable to finish the book, which was originally a group of short stories, before she passed away, and it was finished by her son Clyde Allison Young and his daughter, Susie. This is the story of the beginning of the cowboys and ranchers and the farmers in Western Oklahoma.
