STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS, PIONEER

TINE PASSING, from the present plane of eX-
I istence, of Stephen A. Douglas calls for
more than ordinary mention. Mr.. Douglas was
identified most intimately with the history of
Ardmore from the very beginning Of the city.
He had lived here almost continuously from the
far-off day, thirty-live years ago, when he and
his father began the construction of one OF
those oldtime double log houses now known
only here and there as interesting landmarks
of a pioneering past The fact that the one
built by the Douglases was the first house on
the site of Ardmore establishes the record Of
Stephen A. Douglas as one of the founders
Of this city.
Mr.. Douglas q republican in politics.
A quarter Of a century ago he owned and pub
lshed The Ardmoreite for year or two. He
was postmaster here for many years. HIS
work as a member of the state capitol commits
sion was of such value and importance that he
will be remembered as one of the creators of
the splendid statehouse edifice at Oklahoma
City. His worth as a man and a citizen is at
tested in the beautiful tribute paid him by his
brother, printed elsewhere in this paper.
Mr.. Douglas had the JOY Of living most Of
his life in the town to which he came as a"mem-
Der of the first family of settlers. He saw
Ardmore grow from houseless plain in the
Indian country to become the metropolis Of
south central Oklahoma. city of wealth and
worth. He helped to found the city, helped
to build it, helped to boost it, and now he rests
in the ground made sacred to him through long
and intimate association.
