Growth of South Vernon field marks a century of drilling progress
The South Vernon oil field grew from ridicule in 1910 to a robust hub of activity with 30 to 40 wells drilled along the Waggoner line by 1915 to 1920. Early producers like Church No 1 Dill and Bridwell et al opened sands from 1254 to 2012 feet, spurring major companies to acquire acreage and push expansion into proven and wildcat zones in Wilbarger County Texas.

History of Rural Mail Service reshapes American life

Originating with Postmaster General Wanamaker in 1891, it expanded from experimental routes in West Virginia to nationwide coverage, cutting office closures and boosting farm commerce, with routes and mileage increasing dramatically by 1975 and beyond.
