THE BRANCH OF TED DUTTON, SON OF CHARLES ARTHUR ON THE NEWLAND TREE
Ferguson Roosevelt "Ted" Dutton married Vaughncille Harrison. She was born in Millport, Alabama on Nov. 3, 1912. They were known as Ted and Vaughn and I always looked forward to spending time at their home in Lamont, Oklahoma.

Funeral services for F. R. "Ted" Dutton 73, formerly of Blackwell, were held Wednesday in the Methodist Church of Elmore City with Rev. Jerry Newman officiating.
Mr. Dutton died Sunday in the Baptist Medical Center at Oklahoma City.
Born July 15, 1902 he spent his childhood in Blackwell returning to the city in the 1930s. He had lived in Elmore City for the past 25 years.
He was formerly employed by the Carter Oil Company, later named Exxon. He retired in 1968 and was employed part time by the Vaughn Funeral Home in Elmore City.
Survivors include his wife of the home; two sons, Chauncey of Glendale, CA, and Charles of Wilson; a daughter, Nellie Travis of Elmore City; five brothers, Mordecai Newland, Jim Newland, Burl Newland, Merle Newland and Byron Newland all of Blackwell; four sisters, Juanita Jenkins of Newkirk; Ila Collyar and Dena Smith both of Blackwell and Celia Newland of Billings and eight grandchildren.
Burial was in the Elmore Cemetery.
OUR CHANCEY BO
Ask three different members of the family for the proper spelling of his name, and you will get three different opinions. He was Chauncey, or he was Chancey, or he was Chancy; but when we were young he was "Bo."
Bo was quiet, but he was funny. He was strong, but he was gentle. He was a cousin, but more importantly he was a friend. Mom would trust Bo to take care of me as much as she trusted my brother. She knew when I was with Bo, I was in safe hands.
I was probably about ten or eleven and I wanted to go to the afternoon matinee at the Palace Threater in downtown Blackwell, Oklahoma. Harold, my brother was gone and Mom did not want me to go alone.
I called Bo to see if he was going that afternoon and he assured me that he was, and that I was welcome to go with him.
"Go ask your mom if it is okay," he instructed me, "and let me know what she says."
He did not have to tell me twice!
Mom agreed that I could go and she fished a quarter out of her purse. That 25 cents would cover the cost of the movie, 10 cents; and buy a nickle bag of popcorn and a nickle coke. That would leave me 5 cents to stop by S. H. Kress 5 and 10 cent store on the way home where I could buy a new book of paper dolls or maybe a ball and jacks. How times have changed!
