ENID, OK - There are two great photos from the Waldo G. Clegg Family Collection. The only notation on the photos was 9-16-32. Our best guess is that this is the Cherokee Strip Parade in 1932. The featured photo at the top has the complete picture.
-
The photos were in high enough quality that I've cropped them to show enlargements of the parade. The participants are marching east on Broadway and then turning south onto Independence. The people lined up to watch are on Independence and this photographer was looking north.
-
If you look really close at the photos you'll start to see store names and different things going on around the parade.

Photos: 1932 Enid Parade
Waldo G. Clegg was an editorial writer for The Enid Morning News & The Enid Daily Eagle newspapers. He was my great uncle, husband of Sara Alice Hume Clegg, my Grandfather’s (David Shelton Hume) younger sister. They had two daughters, Alice Louise Clegg Shaklee Richey and Mary Clegg Morgan. Mary resides in Reno, Nevada.
I noticed Chenoweth and Green Pianos in the photo. They were still there in the 1970’s (in the same location I believe). I’m told they had another store in the Tulsa area. I’ve also been told there is a good chance that the actress Kristin Chenoweth (from Broken Arrow, OK) is related to the Chenoweth’s of the Chenoweth and Green Pianos Company.
