Okmulgee, Oklahoma – birthplace of Edna Gertrude Gaines, John Phillips’ mother, a full-blooded Cherokee. Claude and Edna met when Claude came to Okmulgee to claim his winnings in a poker game during his time in the Marines – a tavern.

Hi Susan,
Do you own this (Okmulgee) postcard? I am conducting research on the Creek Council House and would appreciate hearing from you.
