Note: Two entries under "1909 Clippings" from an Okemah historian's scrapbook show that William Bonifield and family moved to Okemah in 1909 after he had purchased a lumberyard. This is consistent with the 1920 census which indicates the family must have moved to Okemah between 1906 and 1910 based on the childrens' birthplaces.
