' EMMIT EVANS .t Emmit· Bud Evans and his · twin sister Er:nna were .b orn August 7th, 1896,, at_Qld M~Gee in the Chickasaw Nation of Oklahoma Indian Territory near present day Stratford in East Central Oklahoma. Their parents, Isaac and Mar.y Ainn had a total of 12 children. When Isaac was a young man , he wor ked for the Butler-Stewart Cattle Co. drivi~g -~erds from East Texas across the Indian Territory to join the Chisholm Trail at Enid . Si nce there were no railroads into Texas in the 1870 1 'S and: early 1880's, t he only way the great herds of Texas could reach the markets in the east was by means of the class ic cattle drives 600-800 ·:niles north to the railheads in Kansas. On one of these drives Isaac met ¥.ary Ann • .-They were married in 1883 . Isaac had wintered one herd of cows in Barber County Kansas and was so impressed •with the quality of the Buffalo grass t hat he declded to move his f amily f urther north into either Kansas or Oklaho!Ila,o After living at Old McGee f or several years, the fanily moved to Maud, a small settlement in Pottawatomie County Oklahoma • .. Everyone who traveled in Oklahoma in frontie:r times sooner er later had a tale to tell about cr ossing one of i t s rivers. During most of the year except afte!r heavy rains t he rivers of Central and Western Oklahoma run 1!.ostly underground . The South Canadian is t ypical. Though the river bed may be a mile wide, 'only a few channels :run water. The remainder of the bed is se.nd or 'the dreaded quicksand . People wanting to cross with wagons would hitch : four or more mules and make a run for it. whooping and hollering to spur the critt ers on. Most people made it, of course, but every wear a few \iagons and animal~ and occas i onally some people were lost i ~ the qui vering sa~ds . The ~vans mane j ,t to Maud ,_ e.cquired E., fe.rm and built a log house . ~ Emmit re\'.!alls, "D<id ~-as str :. .:.:tl:r a cat tle man anc' so al l Jf UB boys had to l earn to :ride 1:.:ope, bull6.og a rid brand .

That't good building matel'ial, .but you better drive your nails before · it dries or ym1 may not get th~Itl in. Even the rafters were cot tonwood 2 11 by 6 1 s . Once they dry they 1 ll hold ~R anything . We raised enough food in our garden to feed the whole · family all year. Mother kept our canned food and potatoes, carrot and cabbages in the cellar. We got all the \'rlld- fruit we wan-t ed . There were the li.t tle sour r ed. sand plums for jelly and a large sweet plum for eating fresh. Then there were paw- paws and the ~ersiir.mons and Black Haws which got ·us fat ~or the ·winter. That country is f'.ull of Black Walnut Trees and Native ~eoans. Every fall each of us kids would gather all the pecans we· could se~i at-4¢ per pound, and then we each put away 100 lbs. for ourselves which we stashed· under the stairs. No one bothered anyone elsds sack. On cold 1:inter evening~ we would crack and eat all the pecans we wanted. Sometimes we_' d play hully-gu11y. One of us would hold 2 or more pecans between ou~ ,p alms and shake them till they rattled. By the soulld the other per son would guess how many there wereo If he guessed r ight, he got the pecails . If he guessed ,rrong he had to give the other person an equal number of pecans from his supply:. 11 ·,r • .''.In the s~ers we chopped cotton for wages. We got $1 • 09 per day. In the f ~ we picked cotton for $1.00 per 100 lb. sack. I could earn $2.00$3.00 pf?r . day _then." "Since there was no school at Maud, I didn 't start at 6 years old . When Emma i were 10, Dad took us to the }~eckusuki Missi on School, a boarding School ov~r on the Seminole Reservationo We didn 1 t like it a bit. We got ther·e abou.t 1 :00 in the afternoon. By 10:00 that ni ght we had walked all tr. wy home. We eYpected Dad to be mad , but he decided that if we were that ~mhap~1, we_wouldn't have to go . Though I didn't realize it at the time, an~ �.. ' l had !!let e.n exce:pt:lonal person at the Mission School. Jim Thorpe, alll:.rncriean athlete and Olyrupic sta1', wes enrolled in the Meckusuki School the sr...me day I was. He ran awa.y, too. His father brought him on hDrsebz·.ck. ,Tlm. didn't wait as long as we did to run away. In fact he out11st2,nced his .father's horse and was home before his father, evidence of the ··seat runner he would become. II . , Not long afterwa rd a school was built at Maud. It was a rough building with home made benches and boards for writing, but we had a good teacher. A:.va Christian ,-Jas from Tennessee and he took no nonsense from the kids. · 'l'hc childl·en at Haud school were normal, heal.thy,husky, rascally f'rontier kids full of mischief. Mr. Christian was a match for them. He kept 15-20 dogwood switches of various t h ickness behind the map case and he used them. Erruoi t s ays , •:ne had eyes in the back of his head. If we were inattentive · o-.r na u ghty or dull, he went for a switch. If he was across the room and couldn I t; r each us with the switch, he'd tbl ow it to us, order us to bring it to his. and then proceed to wear it out on us. Such methods seem harsh today, but he was a good teacher. He made us learn. He taught us vocal c:.nd instrumental music and public speaking. Every Friday night he required us to pa.rticipa.te in a n1iterary11 • A crowd from the surrounding territory came to these e.ffairs to •witness the students in debate, extemporaneous 0 spea.king, rec5.tatj_ons and music. It was one of the few entertainments available to frontier people. 11 After ?th grade students had to pay tuition of $2.00 per month to attend high school. Rr,imit didn't have the money so the businessmen in Maud paid thli:1 tultion so he could :play football. nwo had a gr eat team, but no coach, nrnmnit remembers. 11A cou;le of· our te1.,.chers) Nr .

Since I could speak Spanish passably because of a cours·e or two I had taken, I was assigned as Pershing's interpretor.- We raided across tha border and tramped around. Except for a £aw shots fired at bandi tos· -we didn't accomplish anything.

The sµips traveled in convoy to get some :protection from the German IT-Boats. We landed in England and then on to Bordeau9 I was assigned to the Headquarter Co. of F215 Field Signal Battalian in the Belmcnt Woods. The war was nearly over except for· the time . sever al of us got paid and went AWOL to Paris. The trip back was on anoth~r ;; darned cattle boat , 19 days to Boston." · · By the time.

He ,-ras 1.nvolve d in football and track. Back in high school Jim Thorpe had told Emmit if he wanted to be an Olympic winner he shouldnover smoke and train all the time. Emmit did this and was chosen i'o:i." the American Olympic team ·wmch went to Stockholm, SWedeh in 1920. "I c ame in 2nd in the 100 meter dash. At least I was beaten by an ... '.L.erican. 11 --·f In 1 921 Emmit married Gladys Ely. She died in 1 929 of pernicious anemia. There w1.c"!re no children. During t he years Gladys was-·alive Emmit ~as coaching football at San Antonio ~ilitary Academy. They stayed there �;- ;- for 6 years until Gladys became quite sick, then moved back to Winfield, Kansas. Emmit was hired as superintendent of Schools at Sharon, Kansas, then at Medicine Lodge, Kans as. In 1933 Emmit married Madge Aubley. They lived in Medicine Lodge until 1945, when Emm.it semi-retired and moved to Pagosa Springs, Colorado. "I liked to hunt and fish," Emmit says,·"and Pagosa was right in the middle of the best I could find. 0 In succ eeding years Emmit taught school in Durango, then Cortea, then as superbtendent at Dove Cre ek and at Kit Carson, Colorado, until 1959 when ~.adge died. Madge and Emmit have three children. Virginia Sprj.ngmeyer now lives in Canon City , Marry Jane Nelson now l ives in Hawai i and Emmit Bud Jr. lies in the Piedr a Valley north of Navajo Lake. The girls were already gone from home when Madge .died. Ern:nit moved to Fort Collins so tha t Emmi t Jr. would have the ad.antage of better schools. , Though officially retired, Emmit. took a job as Larimer County Librarian till 1964. About this time Emmit and Jr. buil t the Indian Head Lodge on Williams Creek Lake. They sol d gr ocerie s , ga s etc . and enj oyed the wil der::::.3ss .

How much fun and rascallit y and adventure can be packed i nto one life? That depends, of course , upon who we 're t alking about. If it's Emmit Evans,' the answer is a lot.
