Another day, in another courthouse, lifting 15 pound books and finding treasures. After another quick visit to the Blaine County Courthouse, we made our way to Kingfisher, OK, the county seat of Kingfisher County.
On April 30, 1892, Christian traveled to Kingfisher to make an application for a homestead, which was in the NW4 of Section 30 of Township 18N in Range 9W. The SW4 was homesteaded by Henry Meier. Henry gave a piece of property for a church which became the East Cooper Seventh-day Adventist Church. The cemetery for East Cooper was one mile north and one half mile west. At one point in its history there were 156 members. Christian and Katharina and Abraham C. Ortner were charter members. Abraham was the church clerk.
These folk sacrificed much to share the advent message they loved. Are we as faithful?
