Custer County, Oklahoma Pioneers
Names From Publications of Homestead Proofs, Estray Notices, and Contest Notices 1892-1905
From: ARAPAHOE ARROW 1892
ARAPAHOE BEE 1893-1906
ARAPAHOE ARGUS 1893-1896
Includes witnesses to homestead proofs
and the township and range of the homestead they witnessed to.
Witnesses to homestead proofs were usually neighbors to the homesteader or friends that know the homesteader's efforts. If you find a name you are interested and the listing just includes two numbers, township and range, they were a witness. They may or may not have a later homestead of their own. I followed the proofs published in the Arapaho newspapers from 1892-1906. More information on homesteading records.
