While last week’s #tbt was a photo of my grandparents… I went back another step to my *great* grandfather shown seated in this photo. His name was Kennedy Underwood and he was a full blood Choctaw. Born around 1860 in Indian Territory, I know nothing much about him but his parents’ names (Pehlichi and Tennessee)…

#TBT: Antlers Quartet
Well, I just can’t post old photos of the Greets… I have 50% of the genes around here! This is a great photo of the Antlers Quartet, a singing group in Antlers, Oklahoma composed of my grandfather, Victor Underwood (on the left), Bill Sossamon, my grandmother, Lila Underwood, and Jimmie C. Sossamon. The piano player…
#TBT: The Original

I do not know who Clarence Wilcox was. I do not know where he lived. I do not know where this picture was taken. I do know he appears to be quite the dapper young cowboy.
#TBT: Six Horse Hitch
A six horse hitch is leaving the home place. The barn is still the same, but there’s a few more buildings and a corral in this place now.
#TBT: Cowgirls
These girls are having a grand time trying on cowboy hats and holding up pairs of chaps. This was originally entitled “Girls with Chaps”.
#TBT: Headcatch
Since not long ago you saw our vet’s nice hydraulic chute that we use to pregtest our cows, I thought I’d share this old photo. It looks like a 2×6 and some hip action held the cow’s head in place, for whatever they were doing… I’m not sure about the bigger bottom angled board and…
