The 2005 Con. 8 Reunion Was Again, A Great Success!
Note that the Link To the Electricity Comes To Con. 8 is not working.
INDEX PAGE REVISED. On 8/12/05 the link to the collection of pictures and stories about Con. 8 1911-1929 was moved from New Items to second item in the Specialty Siminars below. If your last visit was several years or more ago, read this: All is here but the name may be slightly different. The Update Course will allow viewing some major items added since 2001. Otherwise the Main Course is just an updated version of the old Notes on Facts and Suppositions. |
What This Site is About
This links to a road map of SW OK showing the location and boundaries of the Old School District.
Until July 28, 02, this was called Notes on Facts and Suppositions. year by year History of the school. Information there is taken from interviews, student newspapers, a few year books, a few documents, but mostly from memories, pictures, and keepsakes of those who loved the place over many years. Links within the page take one to most of the material on the site within the context of the overall history.
This links to a list of the major new items (since 9/1/01) now in the Main Course with direct links to that material. The older links are still here in the next category.

The Kiowa County Homepage If you did not come by way of that site or happen not to have seen it be sure to check out Ethyl Taylor's really great page on Kiowa County. Con. 8 materials are there but it covers the whole county and has tools for those doing genealogy work related to the County or more far ranging. Opportunity there to make connections with persons with varied associations with and interests in Kiowa County as well as old friends perhaps out of touch for years. |
Roosevelt A to Z Like Cold Springs and Mt. Park, Roosevelt was one of the surrounding communities that overlapped extensively with Con. 8. And of course, in 1957 the Con. 8 School district became a part of the Roosevelt. So you will find a lot at this site hosted by Wanda Jackson's. As well as history, she has current news from all over the greater Roosevelt area that includes Con. 8 and Cold Springs as well as Cooperton Valley. Go To Roosevelt A to Z |
