A smiling group of visitors dropped into the Frank Eaton House recently. The 1903 house is part of
the historic collection of buildings on the grounds of the Oklahoma
Territorial Plaza for Pioneer Day (October 5) in Perkins, Oklahoma.
Stories and
laughter filled the quaint house as memories were sparked by the
displays, spaces, and numerous photos of Frank and his wife Anna. The
small house now on the grounds of the Oklahoma Territorial Place
chronicles the life of this man who played such a unique role in
Oklahoma's heritage as cowboy, poet, fast gun, storyteller, icon of a
University, and so much more.
On hand were children of Elizabeth Eaton
Wise (shown below): H. Dow Wise, grandson, who spends his time between Eureka,
Missouri and Perkins, Oklahoma and granddaughter Dinah Wise Wagner of
Boulder, Colorado.
