| Bethel School near Homestead. |
| Most of the children attended Bethel School until the family moved from the homestead into Stillwater, OK. #4, Wella, married her teacher Jim Nixon. In later years, the Nixon's son Arlie bought the school, moved it to his parent's farm across from the homestead, and rebuilt their original homestead using the rock in this picture. |

| The hill in the background of this picture is said to be the location of a battle between an the Doulin-Dalton outlaw gang and a Marshall's posse that had originated in Ingalls, OK and ended here. It is located between Stillwater and the Homestead. C. C. Platt was holding a revival a short distance from the battle and traveled to the site to see how he could help. He climbed the hill during the battle to bring down a wounded innocent onlooker. His part of the story has NOT been verified, but several of C. C.'s children passed it on to their families.
