Cpl. Petete Sends Home Interesting Italian Souvenirs
Now the proud possession of the Emet Petete family, is a shipment of gifts from Italy-sent by their son, Cpl. Hugh Petete, who is serving there with the quartermasters corps of the 36th division. The shipment which had been on its way one month, was received here Thursday. Included in the shipment was a field percolator, about three inches high is complete with tiny lamp underneath and one-cup pot and a tiny steam pipe. A picture of Lucille, Cpl. Petete’s sister is already in the artistic shell frame. Cpl. Petete does “not write often but his letters are long and cheerful” his family said today.

     Note: AUNT BLANCHE
Aunt Blanche was born, Nov. 28, 1883, near Gordo, Pickens County, Alabama. The first child of James and Eudora Petete. The house was an old log house with a dog run down the middle. It was on the top a hill, over looking a river bottom. In this way the wind would help keep the mosquitoes blown away. It was said that the river bottom was a heaven for marlaria carrying mosquitoes. William Bryant Hollingsworth said there was a grave
yard back of the house, with several graves, people dieing from malaria. This may have had some thing to do with
the Petete family moving on. They moved over into Arkansas, around Judsonia in White county. Staying here from around 1892 to 1895 when they moved on to Houston, Arkansas. While here at Houston she met and married John Cheek, on Nov. 1, 1903. John and Blanche moved over close to Centerville, Yell county, that was where John was born. They farmed until
moving out to Indian Territory, I think it may have been some time in 1905, because James and Eudora left Houston and came to Holdenville in December of 1904. John and Blanche stayed at Centerville until they could sell their livestock and house. So it must have been some time in the early part of 1905, when they made their trip
out here. Ivey Blanche Petete was born on 28 November 1883 at Pickens Co., AL. She was the daughter of James Leroy Petete and Nancy Eudora Cockrell. Ivey Blanche Petete married John Wesley Cheek, son of Henry Cheek and Mary Poe, on 1 November 1903 at Houston, Perry Co., AR. Ivey Blanche Petete married (?) Phillips after 1925.

No one was near the pump station when the accident occurred, but a young lady, living nearby, Miss Evelyn Newman, had noticed Theo letting the steam out of the boiler a few moments before the explosion, Miss Newman, returning into her home, was not an eye witness of the accident. Hearing the explosion she ran to the pump station and found Theo laying about 150 feet from the boilers, one of which was blown to pieces, Miss Newman ran to where the injured man was laying and laid his head in her lap.
