Notes
Called Blanche. Born in Sod House where her parents homesteaded in the land rush opening Indian Territory two years before in 1889. See Martin Winters Autobiography. The settlement of Downs was moved 1/2 miles South to be on a railroad, which later came through. The settlement of Downs was renamed during the Spanish American War in memory of Roy Cashion, the first American boy to fall in that war. An avid flower gardener, who always had iris, roses, and many other flowers in her well tended beds. She also bred, raised and showed African violets, with passion and success.
