Clyde Jackson came to Okemah, Oklahoma, about 1922 to help in his uncle and aunt's shoe store. Okemah became his lifetime home when he met and soon married Mable Benson. They were married for 66 years. Dad retired from the Tax Commission of Oklahoma. Mom retired after teaching over 30 years in the Okemah school system.

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.
