Bev, and others on the list:
For T22N, R11W, Section 12, of Woods County, O.T. 1906, (becoming
Major County, Oklahoma in 1907) are listed four names:
NW/4,Thos. M. Blue
NE/4, J. W. West
SW/4, Zoe Ferguson
SE/4, A. Spenner

For "Hog Ranch: School District No. 214 Lakeview Range ll & 12
Township 22", I interpret this description as the same as above; i.e.,
Range 11W, T 22N, and Section 12. If I've misinterpreted, please let
me know. Looks like this section is about 4 1/2 miles west of
Ringwood, and is bordering (on the north side of) the present Highway
going from Enid to Fairview; have forgotten the Highway #.
Hope this info is of some value.
Jim Freed, Ohio
