Senator Phillips household - Murray Co., OK
The Senator PHILLIPS household was enumerated in the 1910 census of Murray Co., OK in the 2nd Ward of Sulphur City. Senator PHILLIPS was my paternal great-granduncle, husband of Una Maude LEMASTERS.
Senator was a veterinary surgeon in the 1910 census, aged 26, who had been married for 2 years. He was born in Kansas and both parents were born in Ohio. His wife, Maud, was aged 25, born in Indiana, with her father born in Mississippi and her mother born in Missouri. This is an error, as her father was born in Ohio and her mother was born in New Jersey. Perhaps the census taker was describing the parents of Senator Phillips. However, his mother, Jennie M., was living with them, aged 50 years old, listed as being born in Ohio.
The family's young son, Donald K., aged 1, born in Oklahoma, was also living with them.

Southwestern Alexandria Telephone Co.
My mother emailed me wanting me to do some research on the Southwestern Alexandria Telephone Company. Apparently, my great-grandfather purchased 26 shares at $40.00 per share back on January 25, 1918, and we still have the stock certificate.
If anyone out there knows anything about this company or even how to research it, please let me know.
