(PK of researcher)BIOGRAPHY:(From the Garfield History Books, written by C. T . SHADES)
"When the husband is gone, the cattle get out. And that's the way it was on the Simon Irey farm 4 miles north of Crescent, O.T., one hot July day in 1889 (this date should probably be 1893). Of course, the wife Ellen Cutter Irey went immediately to the field to try to drive the cattle back into the pasture. It was then that she saw smoke coming from the top of their straw-covered barn. Running to the barn she found her three children, Mabel, Maude, and Harry,sitting in the barn with a burning pile of grass in front of them. They were going to make some smoke signals. The two girls got a switching right then and there, but Harry was able to get away, run to the house and hide under the bed.
The Simon Irey family had come to this farm in Old Oklahoma to wait the
opening of the Cherokee Strip. While there, they farmed the land. But when the great day came, Sept. 16, 1893, Mrs. Irey, her children, and an uncle, Orville Cutter, drove to Marshall to watch the start of the big race. Simon rode a white Texas pony. A friend, Joe Gibson, rode a sorrel mule. After going 8 miles north they staked the claims about 2 1/2 miles east of Douglas. Simon build a two-room, story and half, house. Joe Gibson chose to live in a dugout.Somehow the Irey family survived drought, storms, and hunger. They were
more fortunate than some of their neighbors as they had a few chickens, some
pigs and a cow. They took wheat to a mill in Marshall and had it ground.One summer of childhood is especially vivid to Maude. It was the summer in which her grandmother died (Simon's mother) and Maude's father had to take her back to Marion, Ohio, for burial. All summer long Maude and her sister Mabel plowed the fields. What Maude remembers most was the terrible heat and the long, long days.

THE IREY FAMILY
By Ellen Roberts
Simon and Ellen (Cutter) Irey, with their two daughters, Mabel and Maude, cam
to Oklahoma to Orval Cutter's place that he had settled in 1889, south of
Marshall. The line was just north of Marshall for the opening of the cherokee
Outlet. They stayed with Orville, (Ellen's brother) until the opening of the
Cherokee Strip in 1893.The surveyors came in ahead of time and laid off sections and miles, placing
corner stones and a "dead man"or big rock buried in the middle of the road of
each mile for the surveyors to go by. While they were staying with Uncle
Orville, grandmother had a son born named Harry and a daughter, Lula. Mother
(Mabel Irey) was 4 or 5 years old. They came in a covered wagon with things to
start a new home in the new country. They had such things as cows, chickens,
grain, etc. There wasn't anything here, only Prairie grass, no roads.This line they were to be along for the race to claim land, was just on the
north edge of Marshall to the Kansas Line. People lined up on the North Line
and some came from the South Line. They ran the run with horses, or used
covered wagons, horse-drawn, to stake their claims. They carried stakes with
flags on them to put on the corner and center of the section they claimed
before someone else tried to claim it.At 12:00 Noon, September 16, 1893, when the guns sounded, off they went. An
Uncle of ours, Joe Gibson and family, had come to Uncle Orville Cutter's to
make the run also, so he and our grandfather staked claims eight miles straight
north of Marshall, Oklahoma in Garfield County. Grandfather rode a white texas
pony while Uncle Joe rode a sorrel mule. Grandmother Irey and children followed
in a covered wagon. Grandfather had told her he would keep going straight
north. There were no roads, fences, bridges, just buffalo wallows and cowboy
trails where cattle had been driven from Texas to Dodge City, Kansas, to
market. Grass was real tall. That year was so dry that there were a lot of
prairie fires and dust so bad they could hardly see where the markers, corners
and center of the sections were laid out.Grandfather put his stake at the corner and then at the center of Section
27-21-4, Garfield County. They had to sleep by the stake to keep others from
trying to steel their claim and some people were killed. Uncle Joe got the
section south of grandfather. They stayed with the claim until they could go
into Enid at the county seat to file their claim to homestead the next day.
They would take the wagon and go back up to Kansas to get things along that
they needed, such as grain to plant after they got the sod broken. Some lived
in dugouts. My Uncle Joe had two dugouts. I don't know if Grandfather used the
one or not. He had one on each quarter. I don't know how long it was before
grandfather got lumber and built a small home and added to it later on. He also
addedlarger rooms, then added the upstairs. By this time, trains were hauling
in wood and supplies through Enid sough and over to Perry east. They would make
trips with a wagon back to Kansas. They would have to ford the river up by
Saltfork, Oklahoma or Tonkawa. Some times water would be high and hard to get
across. Aunt Aude said one time grandfather had the wagon box tied to the
running board or they would not have made it. The water was up. To keep from
turning over when the wagon would sway, they would lean to the opposite side to
help keep it straight and keep them afloat, till they could find a place where
the horses could climb the banks. These years were hard. They brought hedge
apples from Kansas, soaked them in milk, planted them around fields and
pastures to grow to make posts. They were so close they used as a fence. Later
they stretvched barb wire fastened to these trees making the second fence. Most
of the trees grew over the wire. Now I am second generation, we are cutting out
these trees between sections (1980) and making corner posts and fire wood. This
makes the third fence since the opening of the Strip. There were very few trees
when this land was opened for homes. So these trees had to be planted. Now our
state has all kinds of trees; cedar, elm, hackberry, oak, hickory, cottonwood,
etc. We cut the hedge for the corner post and buy steel posts and steel barb
wire to make the fence. Tese posts we are making, when set, they probably will
last the next generation, thay are so large. They hauled the sand rock that the
cellar was dug and walled up with from over by Perry, Oklahoma, that is about
18 miles to the east of the homestead.Just certain towns were set up in the counties for County Seats where supplies
could be bought, such as lumber, etc. and hauled by wagons. They started
building barns, graneries to store grain in. Each year they would tear out more
sod to farm and plant more ground. Some of the Cutter relatives of ous began to
buy land that some of the homesteaders had starved out and sold. There was
quite a few within a mile or so from grandfather's home. Cousins all grew up
together as neighbors going to the same schools. At first they had to go north
of Douglas which was the little town 2 1/4 miles west of frandfather. Later a
nice one room school was built on a corner of Uncle Joe's east quarter, so that
was only a mile east. They saw cousins almost every day at school or working
together. One day when grandfather was in the field, grandmother came out to
tell him the cows had gotten in the corn. She saw smoke coming out of the barn
and when she got there, Mabel, Maud and Harry were setting in the manger
watching straw burn that they had piled up to light. If it had been a little
longer they would have been burned up. So they got a good whipping. Their
brother, Harry, ran in the house and hid under the bed; ;he was 21/2 yearts
old. They were old enough to know better but it did happen. (Aunt Maude told us
of this.)One of the teachers that taught in this country school was Angie Debo and she
lived in the Irey home for two yearts. She taught at the little school they
called "Cracker Box"which later was Diamond District 94.Mother and Aunt Maude helped grandpa plow and do field work when they got old
enough to handle the horses. Grandfather bought mother and Aunt Maude a horse
and buggy so they could go places. Grandfather took good care of the horses. He
worked when it was time to do field work from 6 to 6 in the day time with an
hour rest at noon. He rested them all day on Sunday and stopped to let them
rest in the field so the didn't get tired out too much.The dyptheria was awful bad. Harry and Lula died three days apart when they
were about 11 and 12 years old. They are buried 5 miles soulth of Covington on
74 highway where there was a church named Bethel. The church is gone but the
cemetery remains. Two children were born to the family later. Iva Anna on
December 19, 1904 and Raymond A. on May 15, 1909.When one of the Uncles names Sam Cutter and Bessie moved down to Chattanoga,
Oklahoma (this town is close to Lawton, Oklahoma where Fort Sill was an Army
Base already then) mother went down by train. Trains were crossing the state
all directions by this time and when she went to visit the Sam Cutters she was
about 18 years old. While there she met out father Isaac (Ike) Roelse.He was young cowboy, I guess you could say (he broke horses to ride). He was a
plasterer by trade in those days. They lived in dugouts, which they plastered
the dirt walls, and built chimneys. The plastered wooden fram buildings inside
were later to be painted, till paper was made to be put on the walls. Mother
stayed awhile with this aunt and uncle. Daddy's parents didn't live too far
away. When they went to church Ike would come and go to church with them so
they got pretty well acquainted. His father was a veteranarian and Doctor of
people, too. In those days there weren't very many Doctors or Vets.Isaac came to the Irey home to get married on July 1, 1908, to Mabel Irey by
Rev. W. J. Forshee and witnessed by J. P. Gibson and Angie Debo. They went back
to Chattanoga, Oklahoma, to live. While there, a son was born who didn't live
and is buried in a cemetery west to the corner of town, north 3 miles, west 2
miles. While they lived there grandmother, Elizabeth Roelse, died and she is
buried in the same cemetery. In 1917, grandfather Peter Roelse, died in Enid,
Oklahoma, and father took his body to be buried with grandmother.Mother and daddy later had two sons, Irey Lewis and Arthur Alvin, and they
lived in Arkansas awhile before moving to a farm two miles east and 1/2 north
of Douglas, known as "Grandpa's Eighty". I was born Ellen Elizabeth. My folks
found it hard to try to farm at this time so they moved to Enid. daddy worked
for the Enid Water Works, night watched for Newmans, and later worked at
Champlin Refinery and helped to take care of lawns at the city park. We
children were getting prety good size. We had two more sisters born while in
Enid; Dorothy June and Maudie Esther. Daddy said town was no place to raise
children. Daddy got to rent a farm and bought the horses and cattle from Mr.
Scott Rather, two miles east and one mile south of covington.About the time we were getting ready to move a neighbor lady that we had all
become good friends with, died leaving a large family. He wasn't able to take
care of them, so he put some out in homes. One was about the age of Irey so the
folks felt sorry for him. They adopted Emory, 10 years old. Then we moved to
the farm. We all learned a lot. One time the boys saw a black and white kitty
on the train track which went beside the farm. They tried to get the kitty off
the track and it turned out to be a skunk. So mother had the boys bury their
clothes for awhile and clean up. We hard hard times with six children to make a
living for. We learned to milk cows and usually I got more milk on myself than
in the bucket. I can remember when the 64 highway was being built. They used
horses to make the shaping and grading of the sides so the cement could be run.
Men brought teams from all over the state to work on this highway. Even our
father worked, then on week-ends. They would leave our yeard full of wagons and
teams for father to water and feed until Monday morning and get back on the
job.I was always tagging daddy around and one day when he was going to work some
groundI stood in the gate to keep the mule colts from following their mothers
that daddy was driving, until daddy could get through the gate, to shut it. The
colts kicked me and knocked me down. I was knocked unconscience for awhile. So
I learned in farm life one had to be cautious. About two years later we moved
over on Grandpa Irey's farm as he and grandmother had moved to Enid, we Aunt
Iva and Uncle Raymond could go to high school. While here we still worked hard
and learned a lot.Daddy would put soles on our shoes, mother made all our clothes; boys shirts,
under clothes and all we girl's clothes but socks and shoes. Some relatives
would send us clothes they couldn't use any more and mother and Aunt Dora and
Aunt Bessie would make clothes over for us. The boys worked with horses,
helping daddy with field work, raising big gardens, milking a bunch of cows,
hogs, chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks and guinnies. We raised most of our
living. All had to be done with horses. We would go to Douglas to church every
Sunday if the weather wasn't too bad. A lot of the time, Uncle Joe's would come
along with hay bales and quilts over the wagons. We children, mother and Aunt
Dora would set on bales and have lanterns in there to help keep us warm. Daddy
and Uncle Joe would ride in the seat to drive the horses. He had a blanket and
gloves made from a horse that had died that he had tanned. This was real warm
and broke the cold.I can't hardly remember when we were just family alone. There was always
someone staying with us; an Aunt Lib, Grandfather Irey's sister, stayed a long
time; Uncle Sam Eisen and Aunt Iva; Grandmother Irey and Uncle Raymone. One
time there were 13 of us.When Arthur was in the 7th or 8th grade, he had penumonia real bad. We used to
have lots of snow blocked roads. This was the way it was when Arthur was sick.
When he got over it the Dr. said he better not get it again. So mother,
grandmother, Arthur and Raymond went to Colorado and stayed all summer so he
could get over the penumonia better. They rented a restaurant and ran it to
help pay their rent and bills. While they were gone, we girls learned to cook,
wash and all of the things to keep up a home. We made bread, dressed chickens,
even if we had to carry it to the field for daddy or the boys to kill for us.
We learned to pick collon, chop cotton, hoe corn. We all had a busy life and a
lot of happy times.To make Christmas money I would go at night with brother Arthur to hunt skunks
and oppossoms. We had a good dog but the folks wouldn't let us use a gun so
Arthur had gotten a hedge limb that made a good club. We would take it, the
lantern and the dog, and when it got dark we would strike out. We were told to
go just 1 1/2 miles north or 1/2 mile south. When the dog would bark we would
start running in the direction we could hear the dog. When we got close I took
the lantern and Arthur the dog would kill the skunk with the stick. They had to
be careful not to ruin the hide for we didn't get much for skins if they were
torn. We got 50 cents for opposoms and 75 cents for skunks, if they had two
stipes it was $1.50, depending on the season. Most every time we went out we
came back with all we could carry. We didn't get stunk on except from carrying
them. I'll bet we smelled anyway! Our noses would run and our eyes sure
watered. The dog usually got the worst of the smell. I think daddy helped skin
and stretch hides on boards with salt to cure them.We picked cotton for Uncle Joe. In the fall, indians would come through from
out west going to Pawnee. We would be coming home from school when they would
be starting camp on Uncle Joe's east place in a low spot where a pond is now.
That was always quite a sight to see. They were always trying to trade horses.
Then we came into the days of cars and, later, tractors. That was when daddy
quit farming for he tried to drive the car and ran it up a bank west of the
home. Then he never could get the hang of tractors. Mother was getting tired of
the hard work on the farm.All of we children were getting married. Arthur had met a Covington girl, Ruth
Boepple. They went together until she finished school and they were married
first. I had met Lloyd Truman Roberts at a square dance party. We went together
three years and were married. Maudie had met and gone with Chester Paul Mercer
from Hayward and they got merried. Dorothy had met Ruth's brother, Edward
Boepple, and gone with him. When she graduated from high school, they were
married in Kansas. Irey met and married Anna Mae Murry in Kentucky. Later, Irey
was drafted in the Army (World War II). Irey died June 19, 1979. Emory had left
our family and went to Pampa, Texas, to his sister when he was a freshman or
sophmore in high school. So he didn't come back to be part of our family. I
lost Lloyd April 4, 1961. We all had children but Irey. They all were little at
the same time and all grown up at one time. I had married Lloyds brother, Ellis
Roberts, June 19, 1964, and he died February 3, 1979, with a massive heart
attack.
(Note: My mother wanted to write this story including the Cutters and Ireys
because if the family history isn't written up on these two families this
information will eventually be lost history for future generations. Aunt Mude
Daugherty is 92 years old and helped mother with a lot of the story. Esther
Roberts Roever, 1980)MY GRANDMOTHER, ELLEN (CUTTER) IREY
By Jane (Irey) RobertsI would like to mention my Grandmother Irey (my father, Raymond's mother). I
was a very young child, maybe four or five years old, and she was up in years.
Every day she took a set time to be alone and read her bible. She never missed
a day reading out of it. The reason I know this is because she lived with us
during the last years of her life. She was so kind and sweet and I remember
missing her so very much after she passed away.
They had the following children:

BIOGRAPHY:(Taken from the Garfield County History Books, and various newspaper
clipings from the Enid Morning News.)
Maude Irey was born 30 Nov 1888, at Newton, Kansas. Her father, Simon Irey,
made the run into the Cherokee Strip and settled 2 1/2 miles east of Douglas,
OT. She has primarily lived in the Douglas and Waukomis communities.
She started working on the farm at a young age and attended the "Cracker
Box" school up to the 8th grade. One of her teachers was Angie Debo. Ms. Debo
is a nationally known historian, a member of the Oklahoma Hall of Fame, and a
winner of two major national literary awards, the A.A. Knopf Fellowship prize
for her novel "Prairie City", and the Dunning Prize of the American Historical
Association. Her portrait, painted by Charles Banks Wilson, hangs in the state
capitol. She has written 13 books. Ms. Debo roomed with the Irey family. She
and Maude remained lifelong friends. As a young woman Maude studied drapery
making in Oklahoma City.
She had said she was a fast starter at some things and got a slow start at
others. She milked her first cow when she was 6 years old, but she was 86 when
she first tried her hand at painting.
She married Les Daugherty on Aug. 23, 1917, and they moved to Waukomis
where they rented a thirteen room hotel from Les's brother, but they were only
able to operate it eleven months when Les was called to war. Maude followed her
young husband to Texas so she could be near him during his training. She took a
position in the Officer's Mess Hall, but she had to walk two miles back and
forth to work. That fall Les got the flu. Thousands died throughout the United
States with the flu at that time. Maude had to walk three miles to visit him at
the camp site. There was no hospital, just cots lined up outside the barracks.
But on Nov. 11, 1918 the Armistice was signed and Maude came back to Waukomis.
Her husband arrived home in December.
They bought the brother's hotel and operated it three years before
building a new structure on the Waukomis main street called "Daugherty's
Luncheonette". Two years later they build a 40' x 100' addition which was a
skating rink and basketball court. The local school had no court, so they
played their games here on what was probably the finest court in Garfield
County at that time. People drove for miles to get to skate on this fine roller
rink. The community was very fortunate to have such a fine amusement place for
both young and old. Maude repaired roller skates and kept them running, kept
the rink clean, helped run the cafe and did some baking.
One time Maude and Les were special honored guests at the annual alumni
banquet when hundreds of former students tried to show their appreciation to
Maude and Les for the many years of happiness they had brought to the
community. The business was sold in 1957 and the couple entered other kinds of
business in the community.
Maude enjoyed quilting and made and gave away 30 quilts. She drove her car
until January of 1987 (she was nearly 99 years old). She was known for her
friendliness and spunk, for lending a helping hand to friends. She is a 75 year
member of Order of Eastern Star and belonged to the Waukomis Chapter. She first
joined OES at Marshall. She was was member of Highland Jolly Peppers Extension
Homemakers Group. She also enjoyed fishing.
She was a long time member of the United Methodist Church of Waukomis
where she taught Sunday School. After Les died in 1974 she continued to live in
her home in Waukomis until her death.
OBITUARY:The funeral for Maude Daugherty, 99, who died Sunday at an Enid
hospital, will be 10 a.m. Wednesday at Waukomis First United Methodist Church
with the Rev. Kent Wood officiating. Burial will be at Waukomis Cemetery,

The former Maude Irey was born Nov. 30, 1888, in Newton, Kan. At an
early age she moved with her family to a farm east of Douglas. She attended
Cracker Box School. On Aug. 23, 1917, she married John Les Daughterty, in Enid.
During World War I, they both worked as cooks at Fort Sill in Lawton. They then
operated a cafe and skating rink in Waukomis for 50 years, retiring in 1950. He
died in 1974.
Mrs. Daugherty was a member of Waukomis First United Methodist Church, The
Waukomis Study Club and The Sons and Daughters of the Cherokee Strip Pioneers.
She was honored as grand marshal in Enid's 1986 Cherokee Strip Celebration
parade.
A 75-year member of the Order of the Eastern Star, she first joined at
