Apparently my grandmother, Otillia Behrens spent a lot of time in Elk City also. I have a girl's "album" with lots of signatures of her friends in Elk City, from visits there. For some reason, she lived with her grandparents in Alton, Ill. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Sylvia Harper Nelson Oct 1997
