Mother,  This had to have been the McIntyre's daughter, the ones that lived out by Clear Creek.

To my knowledge, there were two McIntyre daughters.........Shirley and Karen.  Karen was probably about 10 years younger than Shirley.

I don't remember any McIntyre's except for Lizzie McIntyre who lived in Severy and we used to take her to the airport in Wichita to fly to Chicago to visit her son.  But I do know who Doug Holliday was.  His parents lived southeast of Severy, about a mile west of Gibsons.  Where is Clear Creek?

[Janet Harrington]

Mother,

Clear Creek was a school out by where Jim had the oil wells.  South of where Fritz Smith lived and south of where Jimmy Rader lived.  There is a cemetery there.  The McIntyre farm was up a long drive south of Clear Creek.  When you leave Howard and go west drive towards the road that we would turn to go to Grandma's.  Instead of turning on that road, keep going west.  You go past Jim Perkins and then past the old Beaumont place, over a bridge which is Clear Creek, and keep going until you come to the T in the road.  If you turn south or left, you go across Clear Creek on a low water bridge and make a right on a county road that takes you right to the McIntyre farm.  Herb and Billie Harrison from Andover bought that many years ago and have a new house on that property.  At the T, if you go right or north, and go about a mile, that is where Jim worked the oil wells.  Grandma talked about Mrs. McIntyre and the McIntyre farm all the time.  I surprised that you don't remember.

[Wilma]

Now that you have told me, yes, I know where Clear Creek is.  I always wanted to fish in it, but we didn't have permission from the landowners.  I just don't remember Grandma talking about any McIntyres, probably because I didn't know them.

[Janet Harrington]

Well, you know, you moved to the neighborhood one day, graduated soon after, and got married soon after that.  You probably didn't have time to get to know any neighbors.  anyway, I don't know when the McIntyres moved there.  Long time ago I'm sure since a daughter was getting married in 1957.  Patti and I probably spent more time with Grandma and Grandpa in that neighborhood than you did.
