    Letter 16 Sep 1901  Davenport township, Lincoln County, Oklahoma, USA Find all individuals with events at this location 
    Letter from Snoden to his brother Retus:

    "Davenport, Okla
    Sept 16, 1901

    Retus, Dear Brother,
    It is with the greatest of satisfaction that I write you. I feel so lonesome this Sunday evening to think that you have always been with me so much and now I never see or hardly ever hear from you. I haven?t heard anything of you since you wrote me sometime before I left home. Sometimes I almost think you have forgotten or forsaken me. I think of you every day and of my life and I hope we will have a chance to live close together and if we are not permitted that privilege, I trust that we will live so that we will meet in a better country, where there will be no parting. I never get lonesome when some of you boys are with me, but I do get lonesome when I am alone.
    I do wish I could have seen Adren. Looks like he could have come home before I left. I trust that he is getting along both financially and spiritually alright. Tell them that I would like to see them awful well. Also tell Will and Hettie that I would love to see them and that I think they might write me. But don?t suppose that Hettie ever thinks of me.
    Retus, I like Okla alright as far as making a living is concerned. We made $8.35 in 4 days last week, then it was too hot to work steady. Not 80 yards from where I am sitting is a big patch of as fine watermelons as I ever saw, and get all we want without paying a cent. Wish you had some everytime I eat one ? John is working for Fatty Robbison at 15 per month. He likes this country better than he expected and thinks that he will stay here. Aley has been in bed ever since [we?] have been here, but I think she is mending and will be up before long.
    They have a good deal of corn here and lots of fodder and prairie hay and different kind of weed. Wish you was here next summer to make a crop with me. Think I will buy a team and rent next summer. Will send you a letter I got from Marciller . Retus, I want you to write me all the news.

    Your brother, S. S. Debord" 
    Letter 8 Dec 1901  Davenport township, Lincoln County, Oklahoma, USA Find all individuals with events at this location 
    Letter from Snoden to his brother Adrian:

    "Davenport, Okla
    Dec 8, 1901

    A.L., Dear brother,
    I got your letter a day or two ago. I was awful glad to get one from you, was proud to hear that you was all well and enjoying life, for that is all there is in life to enjoy.
    We are not well. Cora is not well, and hasn?t been for a good while. Floyd has been very poorly for six weeks. He looks awful bad. I have been poorly for a week with my stomach and bowels, but I am mending a little the last day or two. Was able to come down to father?s last night. Haven?t went home yet.
    I like [OT?] very well and would stay a year or two but I am afraid I could not have our health. I believe I could make a little here if we could have our health, but afraid to risk it and we cannot work on public works. So I don?t know what more to do than go back to MO, which we will do this week if nothing happens. We have made about one hundred dollars this fall and can only land back in MO with about $100. I hate to go back, but don?t know what else to do, I wish you had some way to make a living in Misouri and could see your way clear to come back I would like to live close to you. Bud only has one bail to pick out yet he won?t have more that $25 when he is squared up.
    If I was you, when I left there I would pick out a place and try to stay with it, for I find nothing in moving around. It?s broke me up of what life I had. I must close. Write. Give Lou and the children my love and respects. Your brother
