ANADARKO AS IT WAS
TWENTY YEARS AGO

Twenty years ago today Dr. Hume and family moved to 
Anadarko. At that time the old stage road ran from Minco, the 
terminus of the Rock Island. The mail arrived each evening and 
a relay stage carried it to Ft. Sill during the night.

Four trader stores were here, one of which has since burned 
and another sold out. The Agency was located near the present 
Enid line northeast of town, and the cottages east of the 
present office had just been built. There were two Indian 
schools, one of which has since been abandoned. These, with 
the old Episcopal church and Masonic hall, comprised the 
Anadarko of that day.

The doctor and the army surgeon at Ft. Sill were the only 
physicians in the reservation, which comprised the three 
counties About 75 whites lived here at that time, surrounded by 
4,000 Indians, and Chickasha had not even been dreamed of.
