Even though they lived in Oklahoma, all three of these children were born in Valley Springs, Arkansas. Mary went home to her Mama all three times to have her children.

Notes for CLARENCE HENRY PHILLIPS:
Clarence Henry or "Red"
as
he is known, went to Bristow High School.
He was on the track team and played football there. The Bristow
High
School football team went to State in the 1920's. They
beat Sapula 7 to 6. Red made the touchdown
and the extra kick
that won the game. He received letters
from Notre Dame and Penn State offering him scholarships.
He declined and went to Tulsa University
where he was a football and track star.
Red, "alone" qualified to go to Oklahoma City for state track
to represent Bristow. He won the 100,
220, 440 and placed high in the high and low hurdles and pole vault. Red then went to the Drake Relays and to the
National's in Chicago, where he met Jesse Owens. In
the first race Red beat Jesse Owens. In
the next, he hit a hurdle and fell down,
but still got 3rd place. Jesse Owens
borrowed Red's shoes for the race in which he won.
My Grandpa, Red, kept those shoes and gave
one to each of his son's.
He was asked to go to the
Olympics and
enter the decathelon in 10 events, but he didn't. Instead,
he married my Grandma and stayed in
Oklahoma until he went to work for Gulf Oil where he was employed for
over 40
years.
When "Red" was younger,
he
delivered his Mother's washings in his little wagon. There wasn't
anything he
wouldn't do for her. He worshipped his
Mother. If she was canning two bushels
of peaches, he would be helping her, if it took all day.
That meant washing jars, peeling peaches,
getting them ready to put in the pressure cooker, a few at a time, or
bringing
them to a boil, then canning them.
He and his Father would
go out and
pick about two bushels of wild blackberries; then "Red" and his
Mother canned them; it is very hot in Oklahoma and they had no electic
fans or
air conditioners. No matter what his
Mother had to do, he was there.
*Even though they lived
in Oklahoma,
Red's mother, Mary Gallagher Phillips, always went home to Arkansas
when she
had her three babies.
