The school house, meeting place, and it also served as a church at times.It is estimated to have been built in the late 1870's. Most of the slaves stayed in Kansas until the Freedman Allotment Lands were issued. Then the people migrated back to northeastern Oklahoma. These ruins was one of the first attempts to build the future. Located beside this old school is an old cistern. It has been sealed to prevent an unwanted accident.
The Little Flock Baptist Church is a historical marker by itself. The first church built was a log cabin church on the south side of Hickory Creek.
Five little ladies took in washing to have it built. A preacher rode a mule south from Coffeyville on Thursday to stay with a family until Saturday. He would have Sunday school every other Saturday in the little log cabin. Then he would ride back to Coffeyville and conduct services at his own church each Sunday.
When Hickory Creek flooded the preacher couldn't come. The little ladies put their efforts together and had another log cabin church built on the north side of Hickory Creek and that stopped the flooding problem.
The preacher called these 5 ladies his little flock. Later he called theb church the Little Flock Baptist Church honoring the little group of followers. Then the new church was built in the 40's because one of the church's had burned down. Totally, the church is about 115 years old. They still hold services there every other Saturday.
It is well to note that the 99-year-old lease will expire in 2035. The county leased the land for the church for 99 years after the land was lost when no one could pay the taxes back in 1930's.
Hickory Creek Cemetery is located across the Little Flock Road that runs in front of the church. July 17, 2007 Jeannie Inman

April 17, 2007 - - -Hello Sharlee,
I've attached a photo of the Nowata High School Class of 1929.
My mother Golda Marie Manley is in the photo-----2nd row from top,
4th from left. Henry Eccles is first on left, bottom row. These
are the only ones I know in this photo. This picture was taken on
the Nowata County Courthouse steps.
Maybe someone can indentify others in the photo. Hope you can use
this for the OKGenWeb Nowata County webpage. Thanks.
Peggy Hudson Edmondson (Nowata High School Class of 1966)
Thank you so much Peggy, perhaps someone can identify the other
class mates in the 1929 photo. Sharlee
