April 22, 1889, John Franklin Seney was one of the 50,000 waiting at the line for the opening for homesteading in Oklahoma Territory. He chose his site, drove three stakes and started to drive the fourth, when a man arose in the grass with a gun and said, "Me sooner. This is my land."
J. F. Seney returned to MO with praises of OK. He had walked all day and had not worn out his shoes! But he would not bring his family to this lawless territory until Oklahoma became a state.
In November, 1907, J.F. Seney and family came to White Oak, Craig County, by covered wagon, trailed by a colt and leading a milk cow. It took them three weeks to make the trip, including having to wait for Grand River to go down after a flood so they could cross.
