Monogrammed Brick Stories
Brick: Barto Family
Contributed by Kathy Van Ness
My maternal grandparents, the Barto family, lived in Shawnee from about 1902 to the 1940s. They moved from Cleveland County where they lived from about 1887. My maternal grandmother, Lula Albertine Davis Barto, was a true Oklahoma pioneer. She was born in Oklahoma Territory in December of 1865.

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.
