Notes

Note: McAlester News-Capital Sunday October 16, 1966 story has picture of Dr and Mrs. Henry in a horse drawn buggy DR. HENRY SERVED AS PHYSICIAN AND MINISTER Serving his fellowman in the dual capacity of minister and physician Dr. George W. Henry is remembered by many residents of southwestern Pittsburg County because he not only read their marriage ceremonies but he also watched after them in sickness and in health, delivering their babies, pulling their teeth and helping them for many years. It was December 26, 1897 that Dr. and Mrs. Henry and their family first passed through McAlester. Their son W.L. Henry, who lives at 808 E. Comanche was a boy in his teens at the time. He recalls spending Christmas night at a wagon yard in Eufaula moving on with the wagon train the following day toward Dixie, Oklahoma Territory (near Ardmore) where they lived a short time before going to a Greer county community. Then in 1903 they came to McAlester and Dr. Henry set up his office on South Main street, just south of where the canal is now located. Mr. Henry, who took over the duties of running a wagon yard next door to his fathers place, recalls vividly a flood which occurred June 4, 1904. At that time, the area which is now Chadick Park was a lake used by the Rock Island Railroad, and incidentally a favorite fishing spot. On this occasion, heavy rains caused the dam to go out and the flooding caused considerable damage to the buildings in that area of the frontier town. The loading porch of the frame hotel directly across the street was torn from the building and several people including a woman in a wheelchair had to be rescued. Shortly after this Dr. Henry acquired the mail contract from Barnett to Legal and the family moved to the latter settlement which was about a mile from Haywood. At the time his son carried the mail, going with horse and buggy, or if the weather was bad, he'd make the trip by horseback, delivering the mail to Celestine and Anderson as well. Later Dr. Henry purchased a Model T Ford but he always preferred to travel by horseback or with a buggy although a grandson often drove the car to take him on a sick call, sometimes waiting all night for the arrival of a baby. Patients often lived as far away as Parker, Wardville or Ward Springs. Dr. Henry was born in Tennessee January 21, 1853 and was married to Miss Aurelia Sutterfield of Mammouth Springs Arkansas. To finance his education at Southern Medical College in Memphis, the young man contracted to build bridges and bridge abutments for the new railroade being laid from Missouri to Memphis. He practiced medicine for a number of years in Arkansas before the "travel bug" lured him west. He and his wife were the parents of four children, three boys and a girl and also took several other children into their home over a period of years. Besides the son who lives in McAlester, another son, J.B. Henry lives in California. There are 17 grandchildren and a number of great and great-great grandchildren. The Sharp County Record Thursday, June 30, 1887 Vol. 10 No. 30 Local News Rev. George Henry has a fresh girl at his house. That child would be Effie. The 1920 Census shows that George and his family had taken in an orphan.
