Personal Facts and Details
Notes

Note
Mary Jane and her husband James Franklin Devous started west to Oaklahoma from Illinois on October 2, 1899. They were a young couple in search of a home to share their life and raise a family. They were true pioneers and traveled in the style of the covered wagon puffed by a team of mules. Because of the slow plodding of "Jack" and "Jane", the mule team, which had only trails to follow. Because of the cold and discomforts of the trail during the winter season, it was necessary to stop and replenish their food and meager funds from time to time.

Note
It took 5 months to reach land that would become their home. Often they saw cattlemen and Indians roaming the prairie as they traveled. One day they had traveled long and hard hoping to find water. As dusk came upon them, someone told them whereto find water. However, as they reached that place they realized that they were in the midst of an Indian camp. Since it was already late and dark, they could not travel on, so they spent the night there. All night they could hear the Indiansmoving around their wagon and pow-wowing in the distance. Needless to say, they spent a very sleepless night and were quite ready to move on early the next morning.

Note
The end of their trail was reached on March 27, 1900. The land they found was open for settlement and Frank and Janie filed their claim and began the task of making a place to live and work. Their homestead is in what is now Woodward County, ninemiles, southwest of present day Freeman, Oaklahoma. It is about halfway between the Cimarron and the Canada Rivers. Frank and Janie's first few years were spent living in a dugout sod house with dirt walls and floors. Water was scarce and the major source of fuel was cow chips.
