Living in Enid
MarkD published on October 4, 2025Dad: Many years passed and you have lived here in Enid since about 1909 I would say approximately. And lived in several places. But this place here you lived in the longest. You lived here ever since the time I started in high school, GM: You mean right here. Dad: Aha. Right here. GM: We used to live in the brick house. Dad: Aha. GM: And I don't remember I guess you were going to high school when we lived in the brick house. Dad: I guess so. Anyway it must have been about 1914, 15 somewhere in ther that we moved to here don't you think so. GM: How long has that been. Dad: Well thats a long time. 1915 it would be almost 50 yrs. now. So it must be close to 48 yrs. that you have lived here. GM: Seems to me like 1922 or something like that when we borrowed the money to Dad: Oh no, GM: To fix the house. Dad: Well to fix the house up. I was thinking about when we bought it. I remember when we bought I was in high school, I guess I must have been in my freshman yr. and you came down and I came out of school to write a check. I had been working at the ice plant and had some money saved up you know GM: You had to pay down. Dad: I paid $100 down on the place and $25 for the rug I believe. GM: For the rug. Dad: Aha. GM: Well did you have to pay for the rug too. Dad: Aha. GM: I didn't remember that. Dad: Yeah I remember that $25 for the rug. GM: I remember we payed $25 for the rug but I didn't remember that you did it. You probably did though.
