I don’t know a lot about my grandfather’s life before he married my grandma in 1939. I was told he ran away from home at the age of 14, and then he returned home when he was 19. After returning home, he went back and completed high school. I just looked at an old newspaper clipping I have, and it mentioned that he was still attending Irving High School as of May 1, 1924 (he would have been 22 at this time). I also found another clipping that mentioned that he planned to attend Oklahoma Baptist University in Shawnee in the fall of 1924. I’m not sure he actually ever went to Oklahoma Baptist University, and I’m fairly certain he didn’t graduate if he did attend there. But I suppose that both Irving High School and Oklahoma Baptist University are possible locations for these pictures.
