Addison in Nocona
I was going through
my grandfather's pictures that came from his mother's old trunk. His
mother was Margaret Evaline Painter Ellis. One photograph that caught
my attention was sent to her either in the late 1800's or early 1900's.
At the bottom was the name "Addison, Fort Sills" Unfortunately, this
photograph was not labelled. Researching further I found that this
was photo taken by the famous photographer, George A. Addison who
had a studio in the Nocona area during the time period that this photo
was probably taken.
My greatgrandmother had a brother and sister who settled in the area
around Nocona, Texas. so I'm fairly certain these are either York
or Painter descendants.
The photographer George Anthony Addison was a well-known photographer
in the area around Fort Sill, Oklahoma Territory and took photos displaying
the life during this time. - Alfred Ellis, Fort Payne, Alabama, May

Forum:
I remember
my grandmother, Pearl, talking about Cynthia Ann Parker, the wife
of Peta
Nocona; and Enid Justin, who started the Nocona boot company....each
Nocona boot customer had a pattern of his/her foot on file at the
Nocona boot company so that custom made boots could be done without
the customer travelling to Nocona...My dad and grampa had boots
made that way for years when I was a kid in Wyoming... - JL Weiss
