brother Benjamin J. Hoar (1875- ?), Okemah, OK as it appears in "History
and Geneology of the Families of Hoare and Hoar" written by Edwin C.

book

Dear Brother:

To go back fifty two years to the day of the opening of the Cherokee Strip

is a long way. But, there are a few things that stand out, never to be
forgotten, as to the day of September 16, 1893. There are only three that

survive today, Uncle Conda Eakin, Challey Nelson and myself.

Our family and the men that made the "run" together were living near
Towanda, Kansas. Those in the group were: W.C. Nelson and his sons,
George C., H.C. (Tobe), and Chalmers who was about eighteen years old.
Also Uncle Conda, A.B. Eakin and an old and typical Kentucky Colonel, Mr.
Woolridge (he drove a fine filly and buckboard), and lastly my father,
I.S.
Hoar and myself (I being the age of sixteen years).

We left home about September 5, 1893. There were four wagons and the
buckboard in our outfit. Our first stop was at Arkansas City, Kansas, and

it was here that we were informed that we could not drive across the
"Strip" as the army had cleared it of all prospective homesteaders.
Finally we loaded our outfit on a freight train to be shipped to the south

side where we wanted to start the "run". It was at Arkansas City where we

first saw "running water" in a building for domestic use. There were
toilets and lavatories there at the Santa Fe Depot. It was there that we
all washed an cleaned after the loading of our outfit onto the freight
car.

After unloading and putting our wagons together at Orlando, Oklahoma, we
went to Hennessey, where we were starting the "run". We were all required

to register here. On arrival at Hennessey, or rather two miles north on
the border between Old Oklahoma and the Cherokee Strip, we found thousands

of people waiting to register for the race. It was a very hot, dusty and
windy day and this kind of weather lasted for several days. It took a few

days to register. People were required to stay in line, each waiting his
turn (they all stayed in). Finally all our folks were registered.

After studying the maps for a long time and after a lengthy discussion it
was decided to go to a point know as "The Three Cottonwoods", about seven
miles west of Hennessey, to start the race. We arrived there on September

14, 1893 and made camp. At twelve noon on September 16th, everybody being

in his selected place, the wild race started at the firing a gun.

The Colonel, with the filly and the buckboard, Father and "Old Dan" (a
Morgan gelding who lived for many years and did much to help father
develop
and establish a home on NE 10-23-8). The rest of our boys followed on
their horses with hundreds of others, horseback, front wheels of wagons,
buggies, springwagons, and all sorts of vehicles. Instructions to Challey

Nelson and myself were to stop and make camp at the first creek we came to

on the Old Cantonment Trail we were to follow. We each had two wagons and

extra horses, and the chuck wagon outfit. Each man carried only a light
lunch, a stake, and a hammer or a hand axe.

As soon as the trail ahead was cleared, we were on our way. The loads
were
heavy and the trail was sandy and not too good to travel at a very rapid
speed. Early in the afternoon we arrived at Elm Creek which was located
south of where Lahoma now stands. This was a blind creek and was not
shown
on the map, and how were we to know that we should have gone about four
miles, which would have placed us two miles east of Lahoma at the crossing

of Turkey Creek. After making camp we found there was no water available
for the horses so we explored the country and then dug a well in the creek

bed (which later proved to be in the middle of the section line). No
sooner had we struck water when men came with buckets and horses to the
well and we poor boys almost had to fight to get water for our own thirsty

horses.

About midnight Uncle Conda, Eck and Tobe Nelson found us. The next
morning
at daylight we started for our claims that they had for us, north of what
is now Carrier, Oklahoma. All remained on their claims with the exception

of Colonel Woolridge. He drove the filly and the buckboard through the
finest land in Oklahoma, through Garfield, Grant, and Kay Counties to
Arkansas City where we had started. He said "he did not see a good corn
(cawn) farm in the Cherokee Strip".

As we were crossing the flats north of Drummond someone called out "a
deer". Soon Tobe Nelson was at the scene with his 45-70 rifle and just as

the sun came into view he fired. No meat, we soon discovered the deer was

a stray mule. There were no roads or trails so it was difficult to locate

where we were to camp. Fifteen miles on we came northeast to the site of
Enid, a tent town, then followed a fence row to our camp. It was located
about one-half mile northeast of where our house now stands, near the
Barnard home now. We arrived about noon with food for the almost starved
men, and were they glad to see us.

There were lots of antelope in the country. They were frightened by the
excitement and we saw many herds. On Monday afternoon as we were all
around the camp a herd was sighted as soming our way. Five of us mounted
our horses. Armed with a shot gun I mounted "Pet", my favorite Indian
Pony. The chase was on, I cut off a buck and still remember that my hand
was on the trigger and I was in good shooting distance of the buck. If I
didn't get him with the first shot I woud try again, then something
happened, my pony hit a buffalo wallow and threw me. Several hours later
I
regained consciousness in camp where they had carried me. Again, no meat!

The next spring, however, I did shoot an antelope on the homestead. At
this time food was limited to coffee, hot bread, salt pork, and sometimes
beans. All food was cooked on a sheetiron stove. How well I remember our

first good meal consisting of coffee and praire chicken. It was several
days later (after the opening day) as we were waiting to file on the
homestead, that Tobe and Challey Nelson, Uncle Conda, Eck and I decided to

go to the Glass Mountains about fifty miles west to hunt for deer and
other
big game in that section. About noon on the day we left camp we found
some
grass that had not been burned and there we killed nine praire chickens.
Immediately we made a camp and dressed the chickens and put them in a pot
of water, boiled them, then put some flour in for gravy. We made coffee,
what a feed, meat this time!

When we returned from the hunting trip we were informed that the men
couldn't file until later, so we all returned to Kansas. Some weeks later

father returned to Enid and file his claim. On his return (to Kansas) I
remember that a neighbor asked him what he thought of Oklahoma. He
replied, "My claim, someday, will be worth at least two thousand dollars."

He surely was an optimist, for twenty four years ago he sold the farm for
nineteen thousand dollars.

On March 1, 1894 the family with all their earthly possessions moved onto
the claim, with the exception of mother, who was ill, and the youngest
child Verne who came latter, making a family with eight children. After
arriving on the claim I went with father to buy some furniture and some
lumber for a house. We drove with two wagons. There weren't any roads or

trails part of the way. After father had made all his purchases we met an

old neighbord, Frank Green who was a carpenter. Father hired him for a
dollar a day to build out house. Soon afterwards we started for home.
Darkness came upon us before we were in sight of our tent and we missed
it,
going on a quarter of a mile north. Father, who was walking beside the
wagon to keep warm, stumbled and fell over a pile of sod. He made some
pertinent remarks about a fellow who would pile sod up in such a way.
(Next morning we discovered the spot where father fell was where he
himself
had piled the dirt and stuck his stake on that memorable day, September
16,
1893). We drove on west about two miles getting into sand hills and
finding that we were lost. We made camp and since it was very cold we
unloaded the stove. We only had one light quilt so I got in between
father
and Mr. Green, sleeping until daylight. A rooster crowed and father said,

"That's my rooster crowing." They got me up and there was home two miles
away. Sister Susie was the homemaker until mother came and that night we
were lost the brave little girl burned papers (there was no oil) hoping to

light our way home.

After paying for the materials and other things bought the previous day
father had thirty five dollars left.

Pioneers and heroes - - surely father was both.

Sincerely,

(signed) Ed (Hoar)

state is permitted to offer evidence though it proves the commission of another crime. Lizar v. State, 74 Okla. Cr. 368m 126 P.2d 552; Zewalk v. State,
The evidence in this case reveals that on the evening of May 22, 1942, the deceased, Verne A. Hoar, and his son Edwin Hoar, eleven years of age, entered the automobile of Ralph O. Johnson at Wichita, Kan., about 7:30 o'clock, with the intention of going to California, where Mr. Johnson lived. The deceased was to share the expenses of the trip, and to pay $15 therefor. Other passengers were a Mr. Edwards, a brother-in-law of Mr. Johnson, and a sailor by the name of Barr. They were in a 1937 Ford Tudor, and Mr. Hoar and his son and Mr. Barr were in the back seat, and Mr. Edwards was in the front seat with Mr. Johnson, who was driving. They reached Liberal, Kan., about 2:30 in the morning on May 23, 1945 and stopped there for food and gasoline. At this time Mr. Johnson testified he examined his car and checked the lights, and found them in good condition. He was driving on his dimmers as was his practice. He was going in a southwesterly direction on U. S. Highway No. 54, and when about a quarter of a mile east of the town of Tyrone, in Texas county, he saw the lights of a car approaching from the opposite direction. He soon observed that the car was on his side of the road. As the car approached, he decided that driver of the truck was not going to yield the right of way. It had been raining and large bar ditches on each side of the road were filled with water. Acting in an emergency, he attempted to turn to the left, but before he could do so, the truck which was driven by defendant struck the side of his automobile, it was turned over twice, and

demolished. Mr. Hoar was instantly killed, and his son, Edwin, severely injured. ...

Biography of Jere Hoar
by Luke Campbell
Journalist, teacher, novelist, and short story writer Jere Hoar was born October 23, 1929, in Dyerburg, Tennessee, but he has lived in many places and is currently a resident of Oxford, Mississippi. The depression caused his family many hardships, and his father supported the family, which included Hoar, his mother and a brother Johnny, by selling books, advertising, and serving as a lieutenant in the Civilian Conservation Core. His father served during World War II and rose to the rank of colonel and received the Purple Heart. He then purchased the Troy Messenger, a daily newspaper in Troy, Alabama, so Jere Hoar finished high school at Troy High and helped his father with the newspaper. Hoar worked in the print shop, but by the time he was sixteen, he was the police reporter. At age seventeen, he became the editorial writer for the newspaper. In an interview with SHS student, Kim Lehman, Hoar says that it was at this point that he decided to become a journalist (Lehman).
Hoar served in the Air Force during the Korean War, earned undergraduate and graduate degrees from Auburn University, the University of Mississippi, and the University of Iowa. For thirty years, he taught journalism at the University of Mississippi and is now professor emeritus. While teaching at the University of Mississippi, Hoar won the Outstanding Teacher Award in 1974. He published more than forty scholarly articles, six monographs, three television scripts, and a chapter in a textbook. Hoar also "read law" in the Mississippi Perceptorship Program. Later, he passed the bar exam and was admitted to the Mississippi Bar.
After retiring from teaching journalism, Hoar began writing short stories. Reviews of his work have been published in the New York Times, Booklist, and Bookman News. Hoar published a collection of eleven short stories entitled Body Parts in 1997. His first published novel, The Hit retains the short story style. It was published in 2003.
Hoar has won many honors for both his teaching and his writing. In teaching, he won the Outstanding Teacher Award and was invited as a visiting professor at other universities, including King's College in London, England. For his writing, Hoar's awards include Pirate's Alley, William Faulkner Prize, The Deep South Writers Conference Competition, and the Kansas Arts
Council/KQ award. Currently, he is working on a "coming-of-age" novel that has a working title, Preacher Boy, as well as a a novel inspired by the grandmother he never knew; both will be set in the South in the 20th Century.

E-Mail Interview with Jere Hoar
by Kimberly Lehman (SHS)
May 3, 2000
1. Where did you grow up?
I was born in Dyersburg, TN., but moved away (with the help of my parents) when I was two. I lived many places--Barnwell, S.C., Provo, Utah, and Minersville, CA, for example, in one year. I attended thirteen schools
before being graduated from high school, and lived in a far greater number of towns --most of them in the South. Because the Depression had crippled the economy, my father activated his commission when he could, and served as a lieutenant in the Civilian Conservation Corps. At other times before 1941 he sold yearbooks, sold advertising, and managed a furniture store. He was a lieutenant in the Army at Maxwell Field in Montgomery, AL, when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. He volunteered that day for overseas duty, and soon shipped out to the Pacific Theatre, where he rose to the rank of Colonel and was awarded the Legion of Merit and the Purple Heart. My brother, mother and I remained in Montgomery. During WW II, I began 10th grade in Sidney Lanier High School.
2. Where did you attend high school? What kind of student were you?
I spent half a year in Sidney Lanier, and the remainder of my high school years at Troy High in Alabama, where my father had bought the Troy Messenger, a daily newspaper. I was an average student--a bit lost--in Sidney Lanier, but an excellent student in Troy High.
3. What made you become interested in journalism?
Dad was in the business and I was "forced labor." Once I moved beyond print shop tasks and was entrusted with the job of police reporter at 16, and became the (secret) editorial writer for his newspaper at age 17, I was
hooked.
4. What made you decide to be a professor?
I've always liked to learn, and teaching a subject is a way to learn it well and to organize your knowledge. Frankly, I thought I could do a better job of teaching than many of my own college professors had done! And
teaching is--well, it's a service. In some small way a teacher may contribute to others' lives and careers. I would not like to look back, having lived my life totally for myself.
5. Are you currently working as an attorney?
No.
6. What influenced you to write Body Parts?
I had short term goals and long term. The short term goals were to free myself from the tyranny of facts, and learn a new way of writing. Fiction writing can be a search for human truth based on the writer's vision. Fiction should either entertain or become part of our lives, or both. To learn, I chose to write different types of short stories with different points of view. The next step was to publish some of the best in a collection. Fortunately, the collection became a New York Times book of the year, and a book of the year selection of the American Library Association.
7. Were the characters in Body Parts based on anyone in real life?
I'm not sure what other writers do, but in my case there are only three fictional characters I can think of that are based solely on single individuals. These are Clarke, Cookie, and Fergus in the BODY PARTS story, "A Brave, Damn-Near Perfect Thing."
8. Have you written any other books?
No other fiction books. I became a professional fiction writer in retirement. Before that, most of what I wrote was nonfiction. I've published more than 40 articles and studies in magazines and journals ranging from WESTERN HORSEMAN to THE JOURNAL OF PSYCHOLOGY; six monographs; 29 short stories in literary journals and commercial magazines; a chapter in a textbook; and many book reviews in journals and newspapers. I've also sold three scripts to public television.
9. Have you received any other awards that I do not have listed?
The Outstanding Teacher of the Year Award at Ole Miss
Pirate's Alley William Faulkner Prize (co-winner)
Kansas Arts Council/KQ Award for short fiction
Winner, novel category, Deep South Writers Competition
Finalist, Hemingway First Novel Contest
The Silver Em for Contributions to Journalism
Fulbright grant through Group Projects Abroad
Finalist, Flannery O'Connor Competition
Other awards in film arts, television script
writing, and poetry
10. Are you planning on writing another book? If so, do you have a title for it yet?
Three novels are partially written. One is a thriller (Note: The Hit is now published), one is a coming-of-age novel, and one is a novel inspired by biographical anecdotes and two photographs of a grandmother I never knew. The coming-of-age novel has the working title, PREACHER BOY. The imagined life story about my grandmother will begin with a short story in BODY PARTS titled "My Father's Voice, Lifting." It will follow the heroine from girlhood to old womanhood.
11. Do you have any favorite hobbies?
Yes, I do! I read novels, story collections and nonfiction books, hunt quail and raise bird dogs, ride Tennessee Walking Horses, have a flock of St. Croix sheep, train my herding dog and compete with her, and study subjects that interest me. Right now, that subject is genetics.
12. Do you have any family you would like to mention?
My daughter, Lu Ann, is the supervisor of group homes for the retarded in North Mississippi. My elder son, Tom, is a director of public relations. Ben, a former dentist, is becoming a missionary. All have received undergraduate and graduate degrees from Ole Miss.
13. Is there any other information you would like to share that I have not already asked?
I'd like young people to know that a life in the arts is not one that most writers, musicians, painters, and so-on are born to! The major difference between a published writer and a non published one is that the former is persistent and a learner. As a teacher with 36 years of experience, I promise you that there are more talents and abilities in you and your classmates than you will ever develop fully. Some are great talents, and some are lesser, but we are all potentially inventive and multi-talented individuals. How we our spend time in our preparatory years is important. Every choice matters. My brother, Johnny, and I were fortunate as boys. Our mother, who had little experience in the world, convinced us that we could achieve whatever we wanted if we wanted it enough, would prepare ourselves, and would work hard and persistently. We were small and ignorant, had no experience in the world, and believed her. That has served us well.
*One more point: it helps to set both short term and long term goals, so that you are rewarded and encouraged at each stage in your journey.
