Those Places Thursday - Mamie Teel with schoolgirls Tishimingo, Indian Territory

Mamie Teel with schoolgirls and 

Teacher at Tishimingo, Indian Territory

Teacher is facing students and has her back to us in picture.

Mamie TEEL (later married Jeff STUART) is in the

middle of the picture.  

Not a real good picture, but it's one of the few

that we have of her in the Chickasaw Nation. 

We are proudly descended from 

Choctaw/Chickasaw/Cherokee lines.  Mamie's 

grandchildren recall that she still spoke 

some Choctaw in her older age. 

atDNA testing has further proven 

that our family carries 

Native American Indian DNA.

I estimate this picture to be taken ca. 1906, when

Mamie would have been about 14 years old.

By 1909, when youngest sister Bertha was born,

Mamie's father had brought them to Fisher Co. TX

and they were living at Clayton [1910]. 

Mamie was my great-grandmother.
