    Notes:


    In 1893, when William was 44 and Phoebe was 43, they became tempted by the opening of the Oklahoma Terriitory.

    Jeremiah had sold the farm to them several years earlier and retired to town, so William sold the farm, fitted up two covered wagons with a 2-wheeled cart attached to two of the wagons to carry bulky foods - one item of which was a big box of gingersnaps, the luxury of the trip. By the late summer of 1894 when the wagons were Wm. and Phoebe, Stella, and one-year old Guy, Lilley, pregnant with her first baby, and her husband, Arch Tingley. The two remaining boys, Jerry and Will aged 15 and 13, rode ponies.

    Stella was 9 years old when the trip started and she rebelled at leaving her pet puppy. He was allowed to accompany them, but to her soorow, died along the way.

    When they reached the settlement of Reno, Oklahoma, which is no longer on the map, Arch built a one-room log cabin. This was the shelter for the 8 people in the family (later 9 when Lilley gave birth to a boy they named George.

    When they left Kansas for Oklahoma:
    1. William Salathial Presnell (45)
    2. Phoebe Jane Robinson (44)
    3. Stella (9 years old)
    4. Guy (1 yr old)
    5. Lilley Mae (pregnant) (age 18)
    6. Arch Tingley (husband of Lilley)
    7. Jeremiah (age 15)
    8. William (age 13)

    It was a bare existencelife with the children sleeping on the floor and Phoebe making a bed for herself on 2 chairs.

    Some of Stella's early memories were of making dolls of corn cobs and dressing them in husks. Her daily chores was watching over the toddler Guy and every chance she got, she'd sneak away to a little play house she'd found near the cabin where the earth cut away to form a semi-cave.

    By Spring, they'd had enough. Indians stole the two ponies besides harrassing them for food and Stella's resentment knew no bounds when they took off with the prized gingersnaps. They packed up the wagons and returned to Portis and school for the children.

    It was a big relief to ge back to Portis.
