OLDEST WHITE SETTLER
Mickey Helshem Has Been In okIahc-
ma More Than Fifty Years


ma More Than Fifty Years
The Oldest white settler in OKLA
homa is Mickey Helshem, the corral
boss at Fort Sill, who has been at the
post since 1852, and he was the first
white man who ever drove mule
team into this portion Of the coun-
try.
Back in 1850 or 1851 detachment
of United States regulars was sent
into Oklahoma and camp was es-
tablished at otter creek, west Of the
spot where Snyder now stands. A
few cabins were constructed by the
soldiers. and long years Afterwards
the chimneys Of the stone fireplaces
marked the spot where the camp was
located. The soldiers camped here
during the winter, and the place was
named Fort Rodiminsky, as near as
can be ascertained. One of the men
with this detachment Of troops was
Mickey Heishem.
The following summer the troops
moved to Fort Sill, which was then
being laid out. That portion Of Okla
homa, at the time referred to, had
never been surveyed. The first sur
vey was made in 1854, the govern
ment engineer being George B. Nc
Clellan, afterwards a general and
subsequently a presidential candi-
date, and whose son is now mayor
Of New York city. The survey by
Mcclellan was to establish the me-
ridians, more than anything else, and
possibly he established township
lines.
When the troops located at Fort
| Sill in 1851 or 1852 Mickey Heishem
located there with them. and he has
remained ever since, most faithful
servant of his government.
