Lula Oklahoma the old Lula town remembrance
One of the first school teachers in Lula was John Townsend. Old Lula, renamed Lula from Molar after the post office moved, left memories in Scottsville. The early Lula grew east of the railroad with a depot, five wagon yards, stores, hotel, church, picnic grounds, and an Indian baseball field. The Lula Cemetery and Post Oak tree mark its legacy, with few structures left except a lone store run by Knox Sweat. Notable resident Able Lillard, who married Angie Gore, kept ties to Lula and its hunting lore.
