When and where will your next book signing? My great uncle Claude Swinney was the sheriff of Garvin County for many years and since I helped campaign for him as a youth I have always been interested in Pauls Valley.

Bill and Cindy: I thank you for your persistance in this project. It has energized my grandson to research as well. So sorry to hear of your mothers passing. We so enjoyed your visit to California recently. We look forward to more info in the future. I am still actively searching for Sippia's date of death and where she died. Gary Yaeck

I haven't gotten a chance to read this, however, my grandmother-in-law thinks she may be related to some of the people but is not quite sure. She was told Corley's were involved - She is a Corley herself. Is there any information partaining this?

I just finished your book and truly enjoyed it. It has made me now want to write about my GG grandfather's, Ervin Cowart Justice's, murder. His wife was Choctaw and his murder trial was at Judge Parker's courthouse. I've been able to get the records but it does not tell me the final verdict of the murders. He was a shopkeeper in Sugarloaf area & he helped harbor the Lighthouse Men and Marshals by giving them ammo and supplies to track one of the killers years before and from the court records, they killed him for it. Their quote in court was, " We got drunk and decided to go to Mr. Justice's and have some fun". I feel there's alot more story to the whole thing then our family truly knows.
God Bless You & Yours,

Admin reply: Hi Jerry,

It's so good to hear from you. How are you related to Gary?

I don't know what neighborhood Smith lived in while in SB. I do have a photo of his house. I'll get it scanned and send to you when I get some extra time. We got it from Scott Paul in Oregon. He's the great grandson of Sam and Althea Patrick.

Smith Wheelton Paul is "Buck" Paul in our book. He did live in SB for a time, but returned to PV.

The best email to contact/send to us is cbpaul@cableone.net

Thanks for passing our book around. We hope to visit Jim Phillips and famiy in a few months in Bakersfield. Have you communited with him? He is also a decendent of Sam Paul's.

Thanks again for writing. We'd love to have any photos and famiy info you have and would love to share what we have as well.

Cindy and Bill

I loved the book. I love American history but to get to read about history from our area is even better! I feel that I really got to know Smith Paul. Thank you so much!
