Pioneer Days in ArdmOre"
(By Ruth Breedloyc)
The site where Ardmore now stands
was once a part Of the Old 101 ranch,
vast prairie covered with tall grass
almost as high as man. Wild
horses. hogs, turkeys and even deer
roamod over this stretch of land and
feastcd on it's rich vegetation A few
small rarch houses lay hidden in
the woods. Here the people farmed
and raised cattle.
In 1887 two men, Mr.. Munzenheimor
and Mr.. Daube made a contract to
get the ties for a railroad which was
to be put through Ardmore Per
haps Mr.. Daube had more to dc
with settling Ardmore than any other
one man. They started a commits
sary as the headquarters, which was
tent With this they furnished the
people who were working getting
out the ties. This store drew trade
with the ranchmen and the Indians
The next store in Ardmore was
started b. George Meyer from Tisho-
mingo. The third, a confectionery
lunch stand and q drug store was
run by Ridenour ana Yarbrough This
was located on East Main street about
where Steve Rowles is now. A gro
cery and drygoods store came next
which was located where the main

by Frank and Bob Frensley from

road agent was one Of the first men
to come here.
