Nine-Mile Valley

A Description of That Beautiful Valley And Short Biographical Sketches of Its Farms.
Since the opening of Oklahoma to settlement, April 22, 1889 there has not been a more favorable prospect for the agricultural population than the present season. Corn is being plowed over for the first time. Hundreds of acres of wheat of the choicest variety in thrifty & condition as the imaginations can picture may be seen from a point an observer may view. The wheat is just heading and while continued dry weather may do some damage the yield at any rate will be reasonably fair especially is this true of the Nine-Mile Valley which is situated in the eastern part of Oklahoma county on North Canadian River. This valley produced the wheat from which the flour was made that took the premium at the World's Fair at Chicago. This valley is not only blessed with natural wealth and beauty and scenery but has a population whose generosity and hospitality know no bound and whose industry and skill in farming will make it a veritable Eden. It is almost impossible to find a farm in this section that is not supplied with a young orchard which the wise farmer has selected from the choicest variety of trees in the market. Many of these orchards are now yielding abundantly and promise fair income to the farmers during the present season. In the development of such a country as this every man and woman has a history, every boy and girl has a history. These histories may not be written by Charles Bancroft or a John C. Ridpath but they are written on memory's page from which we often read when alone. We sometimes feel sad when we think of an unkind deed or an unkind word we have spoken, but when we think of the many kind words spoken and the courtesies extended us we rejoice that we are yet among the living and have the power of improving each passing moment to the best advantage. The writer is now making a house-to house visit with the Oklahoma Republican. The object of this visit is to place before you the best and most impartial news published in Oklahoma Territory. Below we give a short historical sketch of Oklahoma County's leading farmers: Nine-Mile Valley

Below we give a short historical sketch of Oklahoma County's leading farmers:

George McClelland Myers was born in Wayne county, Illinois, in 1867. In 1871 he moved with his father, Peter Myers, to Kansas. Came to Pottawomie county, Oklahoma, February 1889. He made the race April 22, 1889, but failing to get a claim purchased the NW 10 12-2w. Mr. Myers was united in marriage to Miss Lizzie, daughter of P. A. Ireton, April 26, 1893. They have one bright little boy, Curtis, two years old.
