Daniel H. Hudson always held office.
He caught or helped to catch many cattle and horse thieves.
He knew all the trails and knew how to get the criminals.
He held the offices of Sheriff and Light-Horseman for many years and never did have to kill any of the thieves, and there were plenty of them, too, from other states.
He caught three men with fifty head of cattle up in the Kiamichi Mountains.
They had stolen the cattle from a Choctaw at Hochatown.
Johnson Harrison and his men were behind Daniel when he rode upon these thieves, holding his gun on them for twenty minutes before the other men rode up.
He used to say those men were cowardly and he never took them out again to hunt thieves.

The Calvin C. Howell Family
"I (Levina) was born near Eagletown, the daughter (In Law) of Indian Chief Calvin Howell.
My father (In Law), the Chief, was born also near Ealgetown in what was then Eagle County, Choctaw Nation.
His father, Calvin H. Howell came from Mississippi when the Choctaw Indians came to this country in 1832.
My mother (In Law), Rhoda Pitchlyn Howell, was also from Mississippi.
My grandfather, (In Law) Calvin H. Howell, settled a quarter of a mile north of Eagletown where he built a fine mission.
He owned many slaves to do the work and he put in a large plantation. Around the house, he had big orchards, vineyard, garden, and rice patch.
One of the pear trees is standing there yet.
My grandparents (In Law) raised a large family of nine children, John, Margaret, Mary, Edward, Calvin, Ellen, Thomas Peter., and Fannie Howell.
In the time of war, grandfather died in 1865.
My Grandmother (In Law) moved to Davis after the war, and settled in the Washita Valley and put in another plantation and the children all married among the best citizens of that county.
Calvin Howell Jr. stayed at Eagletown with the farm and married Miss Fannie Leflore, Governor LeFlore's granddaughter.
During the time of the Choctaw Government (my) Father (In Law) served his people in many public capacities.
Under conditions that existed in the country during his youth, his education was of course limited, but was sufficient to enable him to compete successfully in the business world.
At one time he represented his county in the Councils of his Nation."
Calvin C. Howell and Levina Hudson were married on June 23, 1900, and in 1901 they moved up to the bend on an unimproved place.
Many white oak trees were cut down to be made into shingles, rails, and posts.
He first put into cultivation 55 acres and after a few years put in another 75 acre farm on a river two miles north of the place where he first settled.
Indians call this place 'Bokfolota' in Choctaw which is "winding around river" in English; but white people call it 'Beaver's Bend' because there were many beaver in this river in those early days.
Calvin liked to hunt game and fish and that was why he located on these places, and he did his share of hunting and fishing while he lived.
He died in 1910 and his mother, aged 99 years, died in the same year.
His son-in-law, Daniel H. Howell, who is 29 years old now, owned these places until 1926 when he sold them to the Choctaw Lumber Company and the Company later sold them to the State for a State Park, and a C. C. C. Camp was established on the place with about 200 C. C .C. boys working.
This place was known once as Howell's Ranch; later as Beaver's Ranch.
The cattle belonging to me were branded C H on a hip.
Those branded D on the left side was Daniel Herbert Howell's and D on the left hip was Douglas Beaver's brand.
These cattle were all bunched up and sold out in 1924 - 400 head, brought $4,900.00 and we folks have regretted that the cattle were ever sold many times.

Dr. Thomas Pitchlyn Howell was born at Eagletown, Choctaw Nation, August 28, 1849, the son of Calvin and Rhoda Pitchlyn Howell. He graduated from Cumberland University and finished his medical education at the University of Maryland.
Dr. Howell settled west of Davis where he was a successful farmer and stockman. He practiced medicine until 1893 and was at one time or another, president of the First National Bank at Wynnewood, vice president of the First National Bank of Davis, and president of the Wynnewood Cotton Oil Company.
He was a Mason, a Shriner, a member of the Knights of Pythias and, at the time of his death in 1943, president of the Old Settler's Association of Garvin County.
Dr. Howell was also active in the Methodist Church.
Dr. Howell first married Lizzie Grant, daughter of Tom Grant of Fort Arbuckle. Their children were Deila, Daisey and Hickman.
After the death of his first wife he married Hennrietta Wright, of Paris, Texas, and to them were born Tom P., Vivian and Gladys.
Dr. Howell passed away July 16, 1943 and is buried at the Howell Cemetery, located just beside the interstate between Davis and Hennepin. It is a very small family cemetery.
Corrections below provided by Ben Crump
In the Howell cemetery just outside of Davis, Dr. Thomas P. Howell is buried. In his biography it shows three children with his second wife. There were three but they were all girls, Vivian, Gladys and Laura.
There was no son from this marriage.
Laura was married to Tom Youngblood and she had one son, Thomas Howell Youngblood. He Married Alvera Jennings from Wynnewood. They has one son Thomas Howell Youngblood, Jr.
Laura's son died a number of years ago, he is buried in the National Cemetery in Washington, DC.
Laura passed away in, I believe, the 70's. Her ash's were scattered in the front garden of the old home that Dr. Howell built.
Her Grandson T.H. Youngblood, Jr, died in the early 90's and his ashs's were scattered in the bay of San Francisco, CA.
Alvera Jennings Youngblood Johnson (Married to Paul Johnson, of Davis) is my First Cousin once removed.
T.H. Youngblood, Jr and his Grandmother, Laura, were very dear to me. This is how I happen to know this history.
The last paragraph of Dr. Howell's Biography list his death as 1903 it should be 1943
Corrections provided below by Bill Howell
This is a biography of my great-grandfather, Dr Tom P Howell..
In the corrections by Ben Crump he states there were no sons by his second marriage.
That is incorrect. My grandfather, Tom P Howell, Jr was born from that marriage.
He was a rancher and lived his entire life in the Davis area.

Willie D (Willis) Hudson was born November 29, 1888.
He was a soldier in the World War. (WWI)
He always made his home at his brother-in-law's, John T. Beavers.
He was at home only five months when Watson John, who had taken Willie Hudson's wife while he was away from home fighting for his country, killed him.
Willie Hudson was killed November 20, 1919.
His sister, Levina R. Beavers put a nice headstone on his grave.
"Broken Bow. -- Sweeney John and Willis Hudson are dead as a result of a battle at the home of Watson John, brother of the former, two miles west of Golden in McCurtain county.
Hudson was instantly killed by Watson, while Sweeney John died next morning from wounds received from Hudson's gun.
The trouble arose over the wife of Hudson who was living at the home of Watson John.
Hudson and his wife were separated and Hudson went to see her. He entered the John home and the John boys ran after him through the yard.
Sweeney John later went out and Hudson fired upon him, fatally wounding him.
Watson john went after his gun and fired several bullets into Hudson, killing him instantly. All are Choctaws. Watson John surrendered to officers and was taken to the Idabel jail."

Mother: Artimissie 'Arti' Amos
Father: John S. Bohanan
Have you ever heard how Phoebe Bohanan died?
Her family firmly believes she died of witchcraft. They say that everyone knew about it.
This Whiteman had broken up with his Choctaw woman and started seeing Phoebe.
You see, Phoebe and this mans ex-wife used to drink around together as pals, but all along she hated Phoebe for getting together with her ex-husband, so she went to a witch doctor and asked for something to make her real sick.
Phoebe's best friend happened to be at the doctors place at the same time and over heard all that the woman was saying and warned Phoebe, but Phoebe just laughed it off.
Pretty soon she started getting sick, physically and emotionally, and within a few months she was dead. A lot of spooky things started happening to her and to her son Dan, right
before she passed away. (As related to me by Phoebe's Grand-Daughter.)

1st Interview of Isom Hudson
Indian Pioneer History Project for Oklahoma
Date: April 9, 1938
Name: Isom Hudson
Post Office: Eagletown, Oklahoma
Date of Birth: November 29, 1890
Place of Birth: Near Eagletown
Father: Daniel Hudson
Place of Birth: Near Eagletown
Information on father: Sheriff
Mother: Sallie Hudson
Place of birth: Mountain Fork
Information on mother: Housekeeper
Field Worker: Levina R. Beavers
The old ferry on Mountain Fork River was controlled; owned, and operated by a man named Mambbee, who was a ferryman for many years.
Just one hundred and fifty yards from a place south of the bridge on the landing on the west bank of the Mountain Fork River, Mambbee's home was located, just a half a quarter from the west landing and was a log cabin.
I remember passing his cabin, going to see my mother's father, who lived two miles farther down the road.
Mr. Mambbee had large apple trees in his yard and other fruit trees.
We crossed on this ferryboat a good many times.
My grandfather, Isom Going, married Mambbee's sister, Akonatema Mambbee, so we visited them. Mambbee operated the ferryboat until 1895 when he died and then Governor Gardner had charge of it and had a Negro, Joe Wimbley, to operate it for many years.
Then Governor Gardner's heirs operated it until the high bridge came through in 1922.
This is a ferry on which horse thieves and robbers would meet their bad luck.
The ferryman wouldn't let anybody cross on a ferryboat when the river was very high.
There was a ford on Mountain Fork within two miles of the place where it empties into Little River; within a quarter of a mile of the place where Mountain Fork empties in there is a ford on Little River but there is no ferry boat landing.
The Indians call this crossing Boke Lawa Hema Akocha, meaning " Heap lots crossing."
The ford on Mountain Fork River at Hochatown, to which Father moved in 1890, has a very large rock lying right in the middle of the river and when the water was over that rock, the Indians wouldn't go into it for it was past fording.
A Choctaw Indian of the name of Burnett Lewis owned the only boat that was there.
This boat was made out of a large pine log, hewed down flat out on all four sides with the inside dug out and squared and smoothed until it looked like a plain long wood box and looked to be about twelve feet long, hewed and smoothed until it was pretty.
That is the boat that everybody crossed the river in; Burnett Lewis' father made it many years before.
Burnett Lewis lived on the bank of his dugout landing until he died in 1908.
The ford was just fifty yards south of the low water bridge.
Robson D. Beavers owns the place now; he has built a fine mansion there and has a nice little farm, raising cattle and hogs, right on the river place.

Post Office: Eagletown, Oklahoma
Date of Birth: November 27, 1890
Place of Birth: 2 miles east of Eagletown, Oklahoma

James Dyer, Jr., lives two and one-half miles west of Broken Bow, Oklahoma.
He was born at Eagletown in 1888 of full blood Indian parents.
He was educated in the country schools of that day, and at the Presbyterian College at Durant.
James Dyer forged to the front as one of the prominent citizens of the county and proved himself a worthy son of splendid parentage.
When the question of Statehood came up in 1906 and 1907 young Dyer opposed the change, for he disliked to see the almost unlimited privileges of his native home and the old hunting grounds taken over by a people whose energies he knew would absorb them; however, he at that age could see the inevitable end aligning himself with the dominant political party, Democratic, he became interested in public affairs and as a private in the rear ranks, did all he could to further the interests of his party and the economical and industrial progress of his country, especially the agricultural interests as he is a farmer.
In 1920 he was urged to become a candidate for the legislature and was elected to represent the county in November of that year.
When the legislature met in 1921 he was at once appointed a member of several committees and began his career as a public servant.
His services in the Eighth Legislature were such that his constituency returned him in 1922.
Notwithstanding the fact that his parents were of the Presbyterian faith, James Dyer and his family are members of the Baptist Church.
He is connected with some of the oldest and most prominent Indian families.
