Thomas Washington Isbell

Thomas traveled by covered wagon with his parents to Oklahoma in 1894. After arriving in Oklahoma he got to know an affluent Choctaw Indian by the name of Isom Pickens. Isom liked Thomas and between them they reached an agreement for Tom to break horses for Isom. For every five that Tom broke he got to keep one of his choice. The arrangement worked out so well that they extended their agreement to raising cows. Tom would take the cows and care for or them and see them through the winter, and in the spring they would split the new calves fifty-fifty. This worked so well that they extended the agreement to raising pigs also.
This is how Thomas got his start. He eventually bought his own land and was a very conservative businessman. Just before the depression, when everyone else was mortgaging their farms to expand, Thomas never did. He was the only farmer in the Blanco area that did not lose his land during the depression.

The following article appeared in the Mcalester News-Capital, published in Mcalester, Oklahoma in September 1963.

HARTSHORNE COUPLE FETE 60TH YEAR OF MARRIAGE
Worlds own service
HARTSHORNE - Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Isbell, who were married in a justice of the peace office in Hartshorne August 31, 1903, celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary Saturday. Isbell moved with his parents from Warrior, Ala., to Indian Territory in 1894. They came in covered wagons and brought one cow in a trip that took 37 days.

Mrs. Isbell is a native of Texas. She was reared in the Sanger area.

Mr. and Mrs. Isbell live within a mile and a half of where he settled with his parents in the Arch community.

They are the parents of three sons, and a daughter. These are G. D. Isbell, Hartshorne; Kenneth Isbell, Mcalester; Rev. Melvin Isbell, Savanna; and Mrs. J. L. Nelson, Birmingham, Ala. All the children were home for the celebration.

Isbell had to celebrate in bed, having been on a one-man roundup at the age of 83 years two weeks ago. His horse threw him, breaking several bones.

He managed to get three-quarters of a mile home and then was taken to a hospital for treatment. It was his second trip to a hospital, the first was for an appendectomy in 1915.

He figures he has good nursing care at home. His nurse is his 78-year old wife."
-----Dan Yaklin "Isbell Family History"
From Mary Lu Johnson- Letter 11-1-94:
When whites wouldn't let Indians be buried in their cemetery Thomas Washington donated 20 acres for the Brushy Creek Church and Cemetery.
