Mayor of the Year
Wright tapped for 2024 honor for cities of less than 5,000
Stilwell Mayor Jean Ann Wright was presented with the 2024 Mayors Council of Oklahoma Mayor of the Year Award for communities with a population less than 5,000 during the Oklahoma Municipal League Annual Conference.
The Mayor of the Year award was first established in 1992 to recognize outstanding city leaders who have made significant contributions to their community, as well as their profession, through personal growth and involvement.
“I am thrilled to name Jean Ann Wright as the Mayor of the Year,” said MCO President Craig Parham. “Mayor Wright has spent her time in office striving to make her community a better place, and we appreciate her leadership and her service.”
Mike Fina, executive director of the Oklahoma Municipal League said Wright is an outstanding leader and very deserving of this award.
“She has worked to enhance the quality of life for the citizens of Stilwell through parks and recreation facilities and by placing an emphasis on community development. We are pleased to present Mayor Wright with this award,” he said.
Wright, a lifelong Stilwell resident, was first elected as city councilor in 2013 and then was elected mayor in 2019 and reelected again in 2023. Wright was inspired to follow in the footsteps of her father, Harold Moten, who served on the City Council and as mayor. Wright has been married to her husband, Shawn, for 40 years and is the mother of four children and 14 grandchildren.
“Mayor of the Year. Wow! Oklahoma has approximately 525 cities and towns with population of 5,000 or less. And the thought that I was chosen as Mayor of the Year by a group of statewide leaders is astounding. This proves to me that Stilwell is going in the right direction and it is becoming known throughout

the state.” Wright said. “I’m excited that this will bring more jobs and opportunities to our city. It’s a huge selling point that we are moving and shaking in the right direction. It’s a huge personal honor, but for me more of an honor showing our hard work is paying off for Stilwell.”
The Mayor of the Year award recognizes the dedication and commitment brought to the highest elected post in municipal government. Criteria for consideration requires nominees to be a MCO member and in elected municipal office at the time of the presentation. Nominees must complete a minimum of three years of service in an elected municipal office and their municipality must be an OML member.
The Oklahoma Municipal League is the authoritative source for information, training, and resources on effective local government for member organizations and is recognized as the unified voice of Oklahoma cities and towns.

A history of the Rocky Mountain/Echota communities
As early as 1875, “Rocky Mount” School was in session under the direction of H.M. Adair as teacher. Many of the early accounts of Rocky Mountain refer to the community or school as Rocky Mount.
In Indian Territory days, many community schools also served as churches. At the Flint District Sabbath School picnic described in the Cherokee Advocate June 27, 1878, the Sabbath (Sunday) Schools of Rocky Mount, Muddy Springs, Double Springs, Clear Water, and Gravel Hill were listed as present “in a body.” Other schools were mentioned as being “present in part” but are not named. The picnic was described by the writer as “the largest gathering of the kind ever assembled in the Nation.”
In the same edition of the Cherokee Advocate, R.W. Walker, of Tahlequah, is named as the teacher, and L.S. Sanders as the director of Rocky Mount.
It is interesting that none of the schools named in the 1878 articles are listed as operating in the Sept. 2, 1897, edition of The Vinita Leader, except for Rocky Mount. The teacher of this school was Wm. H. Davis.
According to Cherokee historian Jack Baker, in his article about “Cherokee National Schools, Flint and Going Snake Districts,” Rocky Mount was included on the list of Cherokee National Schools, operating in Indian Territory from 1876 until statehood. The teachers listed included H.M. Adair, Walter A. Evans, Edith Hicks, H.H. Moore, Lucinda Foreman, Frances E. Potts, Richard H. Holland, Leona D. Walkingstick, W.E. Johnson, J.W. Coon, Nancy Campbell, William H. Davis, George W. Smith, Jeff Paden, Henry Reese, Jesse Sanders, Sarah A. Bean, Bessie E. Rogers, Lizzie McEnery, Shorey Ross, and William W. Whitmire.
Nellie Wolf, 84, the daughter of Charlie Smith, described her family’s life in Rocky Mountain, in her Feb. 21, 1969, interview with J.W. Tyner. Sometime in the 1870s, her father built a large log house in the Rocky Mountain community, where Nellie was born and lived her entire life. Some of the old country schools she remembered were Rocky Mountain, Possum Holler, Stony Point,

and Hungry Mountain. There was also a school at Echota, but she couldn’t recall anything about it.
She said the Rocky Mountain area was wild and primitive for the most part and ideally suited to the Indian way of life. Indian homes were hidden up deep “hollers” or on steep hillsides, and they were never too far from a little stream or spring. Her husband, Jack Wolf, hunted game with bow and arrow, his muzzle-loading rifle, and sometimes killed smaller game with a well-aimed rock. She loved to dig wild onions and pick wild greens in the springtime. Nellie missed the good days when they raised all of their food stuffs and said the storebought food didn’t taste the same.
She recalled the Indian families of the old days. Some of the names she mentioned were the Christies, Vanns, Doubleheads, Fourkillers, Boneys, Nakedhead, Smiths, and Balleu.
Both Rocky Mountain and Echota were thriving communities in early statehood, and numerous articles appear about them in old Adair County newspapers. The March 13, 1908, edition of the Adair County Democrat, relates that the county commissioners ordered that a road be established, beginning at Stilwell and extending west to Rocky Mount Schoolhouse, a distance of 10 miles.
In “Horn News” of the same newspaper, it was reported that Mr. and Mrs. Tom Horn made a trip to the Rocky Mount settlement on Sunday. Evidently, Horn School had a baseball team that was known as “the Horn Nine,” and they “got fanned a little Thursday by Stilwell High School on an excusable reason.”
The writer went on to brag that the team did some fine playing on Saturday and concluded by saying, “Hurray, boys! They routed Rocky Mount.”
Echota news was included in with the “Rocky Mountain Items” column, and the Aug. 19, 1915, edition informed the reader that Fairfield singing class attended the singing convention at Echota last Sunday. It also mentioned Rev. J.B. Acorn preached at Echota Church,

and that he performed the recent marriage of Walter Christie and Miss Jennie Mankiller. Wishes were expressed for the couple to have a “long and happy married life.”
The county superintendent praised Rocky Mount School in the Jan. 11, 1917, edition of The Standard-Sentinel, stating that “until just recently, the Rocky Mount School was taught in a little insignificant box school house, but see her now. She has one of the most modern one-room school buildings in Adair County, and they are proud of it. This is a coming country and district.” He went on to say the very successful teacher, C.C. Shackleford, had enrolled 53 students.
The Nov. 10, 1921, Adair County Democrat reported that C.O. Turman of Echota, Oklahoma, was in town on business Wednesday. He was described as the “owner of a big stock farm” and

as a raiser of Aberdeen-Angus tock. The article also mentioned that Echota was a new post office just established.
In an examination of the oldest school records in ACH&GA’s possession, dated Jan. 1930, many parents listed Echota as their post office when they enrolled their children in Rocky Mountain School. Here are a few examples. Pearl Sitton enrolled Millard, Lyndon, Floyd, and Irene Sitton; Fannie Christie enrolled Bessie, Ray, Mark, Phillip, and Elizabeth Christie; John Mankiller enrolled Smoke Christie; Goodmoney Thirste (Thirsty?) enrolled Tom Nix, Rachel Thirste, Redwing Thirste, Adam (?) Thirste, and William Thirste; John Tidwell enrolled Kate Coffee, John Tidwell Jr., William Tidwell, Floyd Tidwell, and Elija Tidwell; Tim Hummingbird enrolled Betsey, Alex, Lela (?), Susie, and Charlie Hummingbird, and Lee Johnson enrolled Anna Bell, Jennie Mae, Monroe Johnson, and Mary (Mankiller) Nofire enrolled Sam Nofire and Lucy Gritts.
This last enrollee, Lucy Gritts, was especially interesting because she and her sister, Anna Gritts, were direct de-

scendants of the great Sequoyah. Anna would become known for her translations of rare Cherokee documents into English, as well as coauthoring several books with her husband, famous composer Jack Kilpatrick, related to Cherokee folklore and history. Jack Kilpatrick’s unique memorial can be found in Echota Cemetery, on the grounds of the old Echota Church.
A more recent famous gravesite is located at Echota Cemetery. Cherokee Chief Wilma Pearl Mankiller – Nov. 18, 1945-April 6, 2010 – is at rest near the community where she spent her childhood, Mankiller Flats in Rocky Mountain. By

City of Stilwell has much to be thankful for, officials say
The City of Stilwell has a lot to be thankful for this year, from a new City Hall, and winning statewide awards, to a new restaurant, a new event and more.
“It has been a really good year for our city,” said Mayor Jean Ann Wright.
New business keeps Stilwell growing and going.
Taco Bell opened this year and McDonalds expanded and upgraded their location, said Wright.
Retail businesses are essential for City sales tax, since municipalities receive no property taxes.
“We are so grateful for all the positivity and success of this year,” said Wright. “The new City Hall is a wonderful place the entire community can be proud of. Fletcher Park earned the state Innovation Award from the Oklahoma Municipal League, and our newest event Fall Fest was so much fun.”
Wright also received recognition as the Mayor of the Year for cities under 5,000 population from the Oklahoma Mayor’s Council.
“This recognition from my peers around the state means so much to me, and our city. It shows that people are seeing the best of what we are,” said Wright.
The top reason people visit Stilwell is always the Strawberry Festival, which brings crowds to celebrate and tons of vendors. It is the longest running continuous event in
the state.
Sports tournaments bring a lot of visitors to Stilwell, too, people who shop, buy gas and eat out.
“Economic Development depends on new business, but also visitors who come to town and shop our stores, fill up their gas tanks and enjoy a meal at one of our local diners,” Wright said.
Infrastructure is vital to a sustainable community and this year work began on both a new water treatment plant and expansion to the waste water treatment facility.
It has been an unusually busy year for new construction. The Cherokee Nation has completed the Crittenden Housing Addition, and is working on the Carson Wellness Center located beside the Wilma P. Mankiller Clinic, which was updated and enlarged last year. Dogwood II Housing Addition off of Fifth Street also opened this year. And they are completing work on a community center on Blackjack Street.
There are several individual new homes, and duplexes, including an addition on the corner of Hickory and County Line Road. The United Keetoowah Band built a new child care center on Young Street which is now open.

the appearance of the equipment that’s for sale.
“The Fast Lane Trailers made an improvement when relocating on Second Street beside MTech, with their trailers behind a fence,” said Community Development Director Shawn Noel.
The announcer box has been started at Carson Park, and additional new playground equipment was installed at Carson Park this summer, Noel said.
“We are always improving and cleaning up our properties,” said Noel.
Another area of progress is the Safe Routes improvement program, which is expanding the walkability of downtown for kids going to school and residents access to town.
The mayor said the curb appeal of the city as a whole is invaluable to drawing new business, and bringing shoppers to town.
“We are always looking for opportunities to enhance our city, such as the dilapidated buildings that have been improved or removed, and ways to encourage citizens to feel proud of their city as well as their home

and business and keep their curb appeal pretty,” said Wright.
Another initiative to keep the city clean and safe that began this year are dumpster enclosures. These will help keep people and critters out of dumpsters and eliminate the eyesore dumpsters can become.
“We always appreciate business owners who are willing to work with the city to improve our appearance and especially with safety measures,” said the mayor.
Residents received assistance with their pet care costs this year, with 414 pets receiving free vaccinations, and 50 pets spayed or neutered during the annual Stilwellness event and spay neuter clinics. Grants and partnerships help keep these programs available.
The Strawberry Festival is always a draw and continues to grow each year. Indigenous Day celebrated its third event in Stilwell this year hosted by Beyond the Trail Cultural District board.
“It was huge, huge this year and moved

to Carson Park for stick ball and more space. The dancing was really impressive,” said Wright.
A new event the City hosted in September was Fall Fest, which raised more than $800 for Shop with a Cop with a Chili Cook off, provided live music and plenty of vendors to keep shoppers happy. Winners of the Chili Cook off were Stilwell Police Department/ Fraternal Order of Police first place in Corporate and Carson Bank winning runner up; Ike Merchant won first place in the individual category of the Chili Cookoff, with Tisha Akins winning runner up; and in the Dessert Contest, Cheyenne Rinehart won first with Pumpkin Spice Tiramisu and Vanessa Johnson runner up with Butter Pecan Cake.
“We will be planning more events for downtown next year. People really got out and enjoyed Fall Fest and supported the fundraiser. The live music was excellent. And people like having something to do in town,” said Wright.
The mayor looks forward to building on the successes of 2024 and seeing what positive growth and team work 2025 can bring to Stilwell.

A History of Adair County
Adair County was established at the Oklahoma Constitutional Convention in 1906 from the Going Snake and Flint districts of the Cherokee Nation combined, it says at okhistory.org. It was named an influential Cherokee Adair family, William Penn Adair. The region is part of the Ozark Plateau foothills of the Boston Mountains and the Illinois River running through it. Agriculture has been a major part of the county since statehood, in 1907, with wheat, oats, sorghums, corn, cattle and hoses as principal products. Historic sites in the county include Fort Wayne,built in 1838, the Adair County Courthouse, Buffington Hotel, Opera Block and Golda’s Mill. The county is infamous for gangs sometimes considered outlaws including the Starrs, Ned Christie, James brothers and Pretty Boy Floyd aka Charles Author. Some who put the county on the national map include the first female Chief of the Cherokees Wilma Mankiller, former Speaker of the House Larry Adair and football star Sam Claphan, who played for the University of Oklahoma and San Diego Chargers. The history of Adair County includes the 23 communities, many of which still have churches, schools and community centers: Bell, Cherry Tree, Chewey, Christie, Elm Grove, Fairfield, Greasy, Lyons Switch, Marietta, Mulberry, Old Green, Peavine, Piney, Proctor, Rocky Mountain, Salem, Stilwell, Titanic, Watts, Wauhillau, Westville, West Peavine and Zion.

Stilwell History
Stilwell became the county seat around statehood in 1907, when the first governor, Charles Haskell was determined the winner after three elections, according to okhistory.org. The community was founded with the construction of the Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf Railway, later renamed Kansas City Southern, which traveled from Missouri to Mexico. The Boston Mountains were challenging for railroad tracks so Arthur Stilwell brought his through Indian Territory, and the town was incorporated in 1897 and named for Stilwell. B.G. Fletcher moved his hardware store to Stilwell and was the oldest business in Stilwell until a fire burned it down in 2012. Today it is the site of the new downtown Fletcher Park, dedicated in 2020. Stilwell incorporated in 1897, with Ru-
fus Allison serving as the first mayor. In 2002 Marilyn Hill Russell became the first female mayor and today Jean Ann Wright is mayor. Education is still a priority if one considers how strong the rural schools are along with Stilwell Public Schools. Cherokee’s first established schools in Indian Territory. Agriculture was the strength of the economy and Stilwell Canning Company was established in 1942. It became Stilwell Foods in 1974 and today the facility is known as Schwan’s.

Watts History
Daniel Boone’s youngest son, Captain Nathan Boone, helped survey the area for a military road, according to okhistory.org. Founded in 1838, Watts is the northern most town in Adair County. It was named for John Watts, a Chickamunga Cherokee chief. The town grew when the Kansas City Southern Railway laid tracks through the area in 1895 and built a switch there, meaning it could switch the engines to another direction on a roundhouse. In 1913 a three story school house was built, replaced by a brick structure in 1924. Frack C. Adair, the first county sheriff and Frank Howard started the first bank, Guarantee Bank. There were two drug stores, a bakery, several hotels and rooming houses, a lumberyard, hardware store and two livery stables and three doctors, A. J. Sands, I. W. Rogers and Ezell W. G. White, who was also a Justice of the Peace.
