Monogrammed Brick Stories
Brick: Prestridge Family
Contributed by Burnis George Argo
In 1897 my great grandparents, Larkin and Manerva Walters Prestridge, with sons, Larkin and George Taylor, and the latters family left Texas for Kiowa County. George and Sarrah Moore Prestridge were my grandparents. They brought with them 75 head of livestock, settling first near relatives in Kiowa County, then moving on to Roger Mills County, arriving Thanksgiving Day, 1898. Joining Larkin and Manerva later were son, Andrew C. Prestridge, and daughter, Sarah Prestridge West, and their famlies. This brick honors them all.

In 2012 the Oklahoma Historical Society invited those who purchased one of the monogrammed bricks paving the Red River Journey at the Oklahoma History Center to share about the person or group their brick honors. Below is a list of those who submitted stories and the message shown on their brick. Use the links below to read the contributed story.
This project was made possible by a generous donation from Catherine B. Wootten.
