2021: Ada, OK Historic Building Tour and Byrd's Mill Spring

Yesterday I shared that one of the best things that I did in 2021 was participate in Leadership Ada, a program of the Ada Chamber of Commerce. In that spread I shared items that occurred in the morning. This spread contains photos from a bus tour later that day, and then also pictures from a second trip that we took at a later date. I decided to combine these two events onto a single spread. I…

This 1965 mid-century modern in Ada, Oklahoma has some disorienting architecture. It's not your average MCM. 3bds, 4ba, but reasonably priced at $325K

It's interesting how many sellers leave pianos behind, especially baby grands. I wonder if they they work the cost into the price of the home.

This home is full of shapes, levels, and angles.

I have no idea what half these rooms are supposed to be, but this one is big, sunny, and has a chandelier in the middle. Maybe a dining/living room combo? Look at the architectural elements in here. I would have to paint that wall w/the cutout a different color.

You have to embrace a home like this. It needs bright colors. And, then you have to figure out what you're going to make each room, b/c there are so many configurations.

These must be shelves.

A sink. Could be some sort of bar?

Finally, I recognize an obvious family room off the kitchen, and it has a MCM fireplace.

The kitchen is normal. Sorta.

Looks like a take-out window by the kitchen sink. I don't like the tile pattern they chose.

Must be a bedroom, but there's no door and it looks like they had a curtain up.

Definitely a bedroom b/c it has a bed canopy (that looks like clown pants). The bedrooms are huge.

Has to be the primary bedroom. It has a sink, but what's in the cubby next to it?

It has a walk-in closet.

And, an en-suite.

Another bedroom with an en-suite. (Eww, dirty grout and soap scum.)

I think that this is the entrance to the en-suite?

Patio outside.

What the hell is that?

The house is on a .79 acre corner lot and has a 3 car garage.

Blake Shelton knew exactly how to impress on the final night of his 2024 Back to the Honky Tonk Tour: lean into his roots and call up his friends. The Ada, Oklahoma, native’s Saturday night (March 30) performance at Tulsa’s BOK Center was brimming with guest performers, all fellow Okies. The special occasion was Oklahoma Is All for the Hall, a fundraiser for the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s education programs. Even Gwen Stefani showed up to sing.

“Hey, everybody, say hello to my personal favorite new Oklahoman!” Shelton said to introduce his wife, the night’s only unannounced special guest. Stefani—lead singer of the band No Doubt, a solo artist, and, like Shelton, a former coach on the TV singing competition The Voice—joined her husband for a trio of songs midway through Shelton’s set. Together, they performed their two country radio chart-toppers, “Nobody But You” and “Happy Anywhere,” as well as “Purple Irises,” a recently released duet from Stefani’s next album.

“I don’t know if you guys have a clue what you bought a ticket for. Get comfortable—this is gonna take a while, okay?” Shelton told the crowd after opening his set with 2021’s “Come Back as a Country Boy.” “We’re here for one reason tonight. . . . That’s to celebrate country music like Okies do.”

Shelton’s fans were up to the task. They knew all the words to “Some Beach” and “Austin,” a pair of Shelton’s early-career #1s. They cheered at every mention of their home state. They even showed up with gifts.

“When something’s cool, it’s cool,” Shelton said as he showed off a flag held by a fan close to the stage, featuring one of Shelton’s high school photos on one side and one of Stefani’s on the other.

“We were meant to be—look at those mullets!” Shelton joked.

Shelton performed more than twenty of his songs during the course of the evening, interspersed with appearances from his special guests. In between Shelton’s performances, Kristin Chenoweth, Wade Hayes, the Swon Brothers, and Country Music Hall of Fame members Ronnie Dunn and Vince Gill—all introduced by radio host Storme Warren of TuneIn Radio’s The Big 615—each offered up two songs of their own. (Additionally, local country artist Justin Adams opened the show.) Dunn’s mini-set, in particular, was warmly received, with the Brooks & Dunn member sharing memories of local honky-tonks Duke’s Country and Tulsa City Limits. “Boot Scootin’ Boogie” had the crowd line dancing at their seats.

Despite being, as she acknowledged, the outlier of the bunch, Broadway star Chenoweth earned one of the biggest standing ovations of the night. Accompanied only by Shelton’s keyboard player, Philip de Steiguer, she performed a gorgeous cover of the Willie Nelson hit “Always on My Mind” and brought the house down with a rendition of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.”

“This is for anybody out there who has dreams just like I did growing up in this town,” said Chenoweth, who is originally from the Tulsa suburb of Broken Arrow.

That theme emerged once more during Gill’s set, when he shared an unreleased song, “Heroes.” He and guitarist Jack Schneider also performed “Go Rest High on That Mountain,” dedicating the song to Shelton’s brother Richie, who died in a car accident in 1990, and fellow Oklahoman and Country Music Hall of Fame member-elect Toby Keith, who died of cancer in February.

Gill began the All for the Hall series of fundraising concerts in 2005 by suggesting that country music artists donate the proceeds from one annual performance to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. Shelton’s Saturday show raised nearly $800,000 for the nonprofit museum’s education programs, making it the most successful All for the Hall benefit offered outside of Nashville to date. The museum’s educational offerings directly served more than 230,000 people last year though in-person and virtual programs.

A brief tornado in the late afternoon then incredible structure in the evening. Just another day of storm chasing in Oklahoma! This was part of a very localized boom or bust storm chase day in Southern Oklahoma. The dryline was very sharp, but there was a strong cap. Many storm chasers actually sat out this day — but the atmosphere in May should never be underestimated. A pair of supercells formed and spawned several tornadoes from Sulphur to Ada. 🎥 Supercell and tornado in Oklahoma. 5/21/11

She definitely didn't start dating him when he was 15. They met for the first time when he was around that age but they only re-connected and started dating like 6 years later. I think he was 21 at the time.

You’re right. From an article in The List. But I’m not sure how fully accurate this article is because it also says she moved to Nashville with him and we all know he moved there when he was 17 years old.

“While living in his hometown of Ada, Oklahoma, at the age of 15, Blake Shelton met 18-year-old Kaynette Scheck (née Williams). Even though the pair had attended the same high school, they didn't meet until Scheck had already graduated. The two were just friends at first and didn't date until six years later when Shelton turned 21. However, it seems that Scheck was smitten with the younger Shelton from the beginning. In a 2004 interview with Country Weekly (via Shefani Archive), Scheck shared that Shelton put a smile on her face and made her happy long before they even got together. Scheck also noted, "You can't help but have a good time and laugh around him," and said that she fell in love with Shelton the first time they went out on an actual date.”

Denver, Colorado 1895: Crowds gathered outside the home of alderman Fox, waiting to see his guest Francis Schlatter, a cobbler and reputed worker of miraculous cures known as The Healer.

Francis Schlatter was born in the village of Ebersheim, Bas-Rhin, near Sélestat, in Alsace on April 29, 1856. In 1884 he emigrated to the United States, where he worked at his trade in various cities, arriving in Denver, Colorado, in 1892. There, a few months later, he experienced a vision at his cobbler's bench in which he heard the voice of the Father commanding him to sell his business, give the money to the poor, and devote his life to healing the sick. He then undertook a two-year, 3,000-mile walking pilgrimage around the American West which took him across eastern Colorado, Kansas, and Oklahoma, and then to Hot Springs, Arkansas, where he was arrested and jailed for vagrancy. 

In early 1894 he escaped and headed west, walking across Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona and into southern California, where he began his first efforts at healing with the Indians of the San Jacinto Valley. After two months, he again took up his pilgrimage and traveled east across the Mohave Desert, living on nothing but flour and water. In July 1895 he emerged as a Christlike healer in the Rio Grande villages south of Albuquerque. There, while treating hundreds of sick, suffering, and disabled people who flocked to Albuquerque's Old Town, he became famous. Crowds gathered about him daily, hoping to be cured of their diseases simply by clasping his hands. The following month he returned to Denver, but did not resume his healings until mid-September. During the next few weeks, his ministry drew tens of thousands of pilgrims to a small home in North Denver. Schlatter is said to have refused all rewards for his services. His manner of living was of the simplest, and he taught no new doctrine. He said only that he obeyed a power which he called Father, and from this power he received his healing virtue.

On the night of November 13, 1895, he suddenly disappeared, leaving behind him a note in which he said that his mission was ended. Then, in 1897 news came out of Mexico that the healer's bones and possessions had been found on a mountainside in the Sierra Madre. At the same time, a New Mexico woman named Ada Morley published a book called The Life of the Harp in the Hand of the Harper which told of the healer's three-month retreat on her ranch in Datil, New Mexico, after his disappearance from Denver. The book, which carried the title the healer gave it, also contained a first-person description of his two-year pilgrimage, which he believed held the same significance for mankind as Christ's forty days in the wilderness. On departing the Morley ranch, Schlatter told Morley that God intended to establish New Jerusalem in the Datil Mountains, and the healer promised to return at that time. 

Almost immediately after reports came out of Mexico announcing the healer's death, skepticism arose. Ada Morley, who had visited at length with Schlatter during his three-month stay at her ranch in New Mexico in early 1896, had her doubts. "The men who found the skeleton declared to have been [Schlatter's]," she said, "say it was resting as though it had never been disturbed. I know the coyotes would never have left it so if it had ever lain there bearing flesh." 

The New York Times expressed doubts as well. "It does not appear that the human remains were actually identified as Schlatter's," the newspaper stated on June 19, 1897, "or that any identification was possible." However, the presence of the healer's possessions at the scene, especially his copper rod, convinced most people otherwise.

Over the next twenty-five years, several men arose claiming to be Francis Schlatter. One, a Presbyterian minister named Charles McLean, died in Hastings, Nebraska, in 1909, creating a controversy between skeptics and believers. Two others, August Schrader and Jacob Kunze, who formed a healing team that operated between 1908 and 1917, were arrested and jailed in 1916 for mail fraud. A final so-called imposter died in St. Louis, Missouri, in October 1922.

During the second half of the twentieth century, a renewed interest in Schlatter brought with it speculation about the claim of the healer who had died in St. Louis. Most recently, The Vanishing Messiah: The Life and Resurrections of Francis Schlatter (2016), argues that the healer conspired to stage his death in the mountains of Mexico and returned to the United States to continue healing in the eastern and southern parts of the country until his death in St. Louis in 1922.
