Indian Papers Interview #13843
By: Charlene Culbertson, Investigator
May 6, 1938
An Interview With Mary Etta Carter,
North Main, McAlester, Okla.
I was born in Louisa County, Iowa, in the year 1853. My parents were D. P. and Maranda Musey. Both are buried at Blue Springs, Missouri. We came from the state of Texas in covered wagon to the Choctaw nation and located in North McAlester in the year of 1897. We had a son living here, this being our reason for coming to the Indian Territory. We traveled with no other famililes and had no trouble in traveling, other than the bad roads. When it was muddy it was very hard to get through.
We put in a little crop the first year, raising mostly corn. My husband also worked at a tie camp. The next year my husband joined the Anties and was killed in the Kiamichi Mountains. They were after horse thieves who were taking the territory. The Kiamichi Mountains were a hideout for the thieves. I have never known anything definite of the accident.
Our home was a little log cabin, three miles east of town. We had no stove but cooked over the fireplace. Most of our food was what we raised.
The following stores were in North Mcalester at this time. The J. J. McAlester store, and the Wooten and Allison stores.
The first school and church in North Mcalester was where the Baptist Church is today. There were no desks but they had benches to sit on
