Molloy was also a correspondent for the LInneus Bulletin, his hometown newspaper. His account of this early experience may be found in its entirety in Vol.I of the Cimarron Family Legends. He said in part, “There is scarcely a good tract of land that has been taken legally. The cowboys and the U.S. Marshals were here long before the 22nd of April and had taken up the best land.” He included an interesting history of Guthrie’s boom after the run where he first settled and went into the law business. He later moved his family to Lincoln County, northeast of Agra, O.T. where one opinion changed. “Oklahoma is the garden spot of thw world,” he said of Flynn (later called Soonerville). As a result of Molloy’s enthusiastic description (Vol.i), friends, family and neighbors came to O.T. and settled near him in northeastern Lincoln County. Molloy was born in 1838 in Virginia, and died 1910 in Oklahoma. He is buried in the Oak Dale Cemetery, northeast of Agra, not far from his home at Flynn (Soonerville). Wm. Gracen Cooper preached Molloy’s funeral. Molloy’s children were Millie, Jeff, Abel, Mollie, Nora, Mattie and Kate. | Molloy, Powhattan Bolen (I156)

Parker, who died in this city, the 12th inst., aged 35, was evidently a believer in the Rooseveltian theory that it is the duty of married folks to multiply and replenish the earth, to judge by his will filed for probate yesterday. The instrument was executed the same day that he died. The chief asset of the Parker estate is stock of the Hawthorne Water Company, valued at $39,700, and this is left in trust for the benefit of the relatives of the testator, with Oscar J. Drum and Edward M. Lyon, as trustees, who are to hold the property for twenty-five years, and then turn over the stock or its equivalent in money to the two brothers of Parker. A number of his relatives are remembered with gifts of from $25 to $30 a month during the life of the trust. Orrel Parker, a brother, of New York, is to be given $20 a month, and to his wife $30 a month is bequeathed for each child that is born to the couple. He also provides that another brother, William R. Parker of this city, be given $30 a month and, if he marries, that much additional is to be paid to each child born of the union. It is further provided that $100 shall be paid to Charles B. Boutwell, secretary of the class of 1886 of Princeton University, for the benefit of the organization.

She graduated from the state college with the class of 1915, receiving her degree in home economics, and soon afterward married Professor Overman. Infant and Student Dies.

Overman Succumbs to “Flu” Was one of Most Popular Members of College Faculty – Wife Also Stricken With Disease Professor Elbert Leslie Overman of the English department of the State College, succumbed at the Northwest sanitarium at 10:00 o’clock Sunday morning from pneumonia following influenza. Prof. Overman had been very low for two days and his death was not unexpected. He was the holder of a B.A. degree from the University of Kansas, where he did a year’s post graduate work following graduation. Prior to coming To the State College in 1915 he was connected with the English department of North Central high school in Spokane. Professor Overman was one of the most popular members of the college faculty and held a high position in the esteem of the entire student body. During the past three years he has coached the varsity debating teams and has taken his place as a debating coach without a superior in the Northwestern school. Prof. Overman was one of the best read men on the faculty in regard to the war situation and conducted a course of lectures on “War Aims" during the second contingent of vocational S.A.T.C. men. In the October 22 issue of “Pull Men,” the detachment paper, appeared an article by Prof. Overman, in which he urged that, under the existing conditions, “No American soldier or citizen can afford to assume anything else that that the war may go on indefinitely.” Peculiar distress is attached to the death of Prof. Overman through the fact that Mrs. Overman, who was formerly Miss Marion Gray of Spokane, is herself stricken with the disease that claimed the life of her husband. Mrs. Overman graduated from the State College with the class of 1915, receiving her degree in home economics. Soon afterward she became the wife of Prof. Overman. No children survive.

Prof. Overman was one of the best read men on the faculty in regard to the war situation and conducted a course of lectures on “War Lima’s during the second contingent of vocational S.A.T.C. men. In the October 22 issue of “Pull Men,” the detachment paper, appeared an article by Prof. Overman, in which he urged that, under the existing conditions, “No American soldier or citizen can afford to assume anything else that that the war may go on indefinitely.” Peculiar distress is attached to the death of Prof. Overman through the fact that Mrs. Overman, who was formerly Miss Marion Gray of Spokane, is herself stricken with the disease that claimed the life of her husband. Mrs. Overman graduated from the State College with the class of 1915, receiving her degree in home economics. Soon afterward she became the wife of Prof. Overman. No children survive.
