Orphaned Girls In Owling Land Inherit Wealth From Oil
In Apperson Oklahoma two young sisters Doris and Una Hembree ages five and seven are to share a first royal payment of 202500 from oil lands near Maud in the Greater Seminole field. Their portion amounts to 10000 with much more to come as eight wells produce on their farm. Their guardian Bert Harris and aunt Mrs A C Lemon prepare for court to claim the estate now valued around a million dollars. The girls mother died in 1926 and father died in 1924. Una has begun school and the funds will fund piano and art lessons she shows talent for. The family lives in a small oil field house but the orphan sisters have always found room.
