Notes for RUTH JO HIBBS:
LB and Ruth (Hibbs) Reardon
In 1886, when my father, Rob Hibbs was seven years old, he with his
parents came to Cimarron Territory, in two covered wagons; one pulled by a
team of horses and the other by a yoke of oxen. With a large family, they
settled southeast of Beaver, Oklahoma. When Rob was only eight years old,
he began working as a chore boy on the John George ranch. By the time he
was twelve years old, he was learning to break and train horses; an
ability for which he carried a high reputation all his life. He also
attended trade school and learned to be a Blacksmith, serving his
community in this capacity many years.
Rob's ability with men and stock, early earned him a job as "Trail boss."
While a young man, he twice led trail herds of cattle from "Old
Mobeetie,': all the way to Oregon, returning with riding horses.
As soon as Cimarron Territory opened for homesteading, he filed on land
and established a home. Lura Luke had come from Eastern Oklahoma to Beaver
county, to visit her brother, a neighbor of Rob Hibbs. They met and, in
1908 she became Mrs. Rob Hibbs and joined him on his home-stead. He was a
rancher and felt a need for more ranchland.
My maternal grandfather, E.A. Luke, was an engineer and stonemason who
lived in Eastern Oklahoma. He, with his sons owned the Alamo Construction
Company, with a reputation for good construction work. Hearing of his
dependable reputation, some ranchers persuaded him to move to Hans-ford
County to build irrigation dams on the lower Palo Duro creek; among those
built by his company were the Crowley ranch dam and others.
The Mulock Post Office, with Mr. Ira Mulock as postmaster and way
station manager, was begun in 1899. Other postmasters had followed him but
by 1912 Mrs. Lula Newcomb had been appointed and the post office had been
moved into the New-comb ranch house, so the Mulock way station ( was for
sale. My grandparents and Newcomb's were neighbors. Knowing that my father
was anxious for more land, Grandfather Luke, sent word to my parents of
the opportunity. My parents bought the site, I along with several
surrounding sections of I land in 1912. Early in the year of 1913, they,
with one small daughter, moved into the four-room, story and one-half,
Mulock way station building. This IS where they were living when I was
born, followed the next year by my brother, Lawrence. Since the Palo Duro
drained a large area and a dam was nearby, my father feared that we )
might sometime be flooded, so he later tore down the Way station and built
a four room I house up on a hill above the old location. The gates were
removed from the dam, and this became a favorite swimming and fishing hole
with a large grove of trees nearby I that was ideal for picnicking.
It was customary for farmers and ranchers to haul winter supplies by
wagon from Guymon. As the main wagon trail passed by our house,
frequently, men and wagons spent the night with my parents, watering their
horses at the creek and shelting them in the barns and corrals that
remained from the Way station.
We were taught compassion for those less fortunate than we. Many were
those who found a refuge and hospitality in our home for a night, a week
or longer. As the local schoolhouse required replacing, a small
Presbyterian Church named "Huff's Chapel" served as church and
schoolhouse for a time. When my sister started to school there, she was
the only girl to attend, so I was also sent to be company for her. The
church was later used as a community church and was called "New
Hope". The Presbyterians decided to sell the building, so my father
bought it and lent it to the community for many years.
In 1921 we moved to an adjoining section, east and north of Mulock and
the Mulock area was again sold. In this move we were very near the eastern
edge of Hans-ford County, so attended Waka and Perryton schools. There we
grew to adulthood, married and have continued to live in this Texas
Panhandle area.
My children are the Martin twins, Iris and lone. lone is married to
Paul Simmons; the son of local people, Edwin and Anabel Simmons. Paul and
lone have one son and one daughter. Iris is Mrs. Bill Cornell, who is a
son of Rev. and Mrs. Gene Cornell. Ins and Bill have three daughters. I
also have one great-grandson. My husband is "Tim" Reardon of
Spearman "Tim" Reardon was born in Scofield, Utah. orphaned at
an early age, he and a sister were taken into the home of an uncle in Salt
Lake City, Utah, for a time. They later lived in the home of their
step-grandparents in Steamboat Springs, Colo. The sister married and moved
to Council Bluffs. Iowa. Tim followed her; working his way through school,
he graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School, there.
After finishing school and spending several years in the National
Guard, he returned to Wyoming and worked with his brother on a ranch for a
time, but soon was working in the oil industry. When drilling industry
began nearby, he joined a crew and soon became an oil well driller. Being
transferred frequently, as oil well drillers are; he drilled in Wyoming,
Colorado, New Mexico, eventually coming to the Panhandles of Texas and
Oklahoma.
While working for Cree companies, near Borger, he was severely injured.
Ed Simmons was associated with the Cry companies; so while Tim was
recuperating from the foot injury Ed hired him to manage a farm and
oilfield supply store which Ed and his son, Paul, were opening in
Spearman. Tim lived here as manager of Southwell Supply Store for a number
of years, making many lasting friendships.
In 1964 he was transferred to Perryton where he met Mrs. Ruth Hibbs
Martin. Tim Reardon and Mrs. Ruth Martin were married in the Fall of 1965.
They returned to Spearman to make their home in late 1977.
Tim's only son, Leroy B. Reardon, who lives in Cheyenne, Wyoming, has
two sons and a daughter. His daughter, Roberta, who lives in Georgia is
the mother of two daughters. Tim also has four great-grandchildren.

L. BRUCE REARDON
FAMILY
RuthJo (Hibbs) Reardon is a daughter of S. R.
(Rob) and Lura Luke Hibbs who were early pioneers
of this area.
In 1886, twenty years before Oklahoma was admitted
to statehood, when Rob Hibbs was seven years old, he
with his parents, Amos and Rosa Hibbs, and seven
brothers and sisters, in two covered wagons (one drawn
by a team of horses and the other by a yoke of oxen)
came to the Indian Territory of what was to become
the Oklahoma Panhandle. This large family settled
seven miles southeast of Beaver in a grove of trees
near Clear Creek. There they built a log home and
lived many years. At that time Beaver consisted of
two buildings, one a grocery store, the other a saloon.
At the age of eight years, Rob Hibbs began working
as a choreboy on the John George ranch. By the time
he was fourteen years old he was learning to break
and train horses, an ability for which he carried a high
reputation all the rest of his life. He also attended
trade school and became a skilled blacksmith, serving
his community in this capacity.
As soon as Cimmaron Territory was opened for
homesteading, Rob filed on land and established a
small home. Miss Lura Luke had come from Eastern
Oklahoma to Beaver County to visit her brother who
was a neighbor of Rob Hibbs. She soon met the young
rancher and in 1908 she became Mrs. Rob Hibbs and
joined him on his homestead.
Ethan Allen Luke, maternal grandfather of RuthJo
Reardon, was a stonemason and bridge-construction
engineer of some repute in Eastern Oklahoma. He
and his sons owned the Alamo Construction Company.
Hearing of his dependable reputation, some Hansford
County ranchers persuaded him to come to this area
to build some irrigation dams on the lower Palo Duro
Creek, some twenty-five miles west of the present
town of Perryton. After the completion of the work
project, the Luke family moved into Ochiltree where
Mrs. Luke died in 1916. The family then moved away,
though in later years E. A. Luke was buried beside his
wife in Ochiltree Cemetery.
The Mulock post office waystation, with Mr. Mulock
as postmaster, was established in 1899. This was twenty-one
miles due west of the present town of Perryton
and one mile inside Hansford County. Other postmasters
followed Mr. Mulock, with Mrs. Lula Newcomb as
the last postmaster. The post office had been moved
into the Newcomb ranch home. Mulock was for sale.
Knowing that his son-in-law was anxious for more
ranchland, E. A. Luke sent him word of the opportunity.
Rob and Lura Hibbs bought the Mulock post office
site along with surrounding sections of land in 1912,
and early in the year of 1913 they, with one small
daughter, Julia, moved into the four-room, one and
one-half story Mulock Waystation house. This is where
they were living when RuthJo was born, followed the
next year by her brother, Lawrence. Rob Hibbs soon
tore down the waystation and built a four room house
on higher ground.
In 1919, at Perryton's first birthday celebration, the
family came into the new town of Perryton to watch
the first train and airplane arrive in Perryton. The
three children excitedly watched the train come puffing
down the track with an airplane flying above it. This
was the first train or plane that Ruth or her brother
had ever seen. It was an exciting occasion, only to be
horribly ended that afternoon by the crash of the
airplane which claimed the lives of two men.
Soon after the plane crash, the Hibbs family left for
home. As Rob drove his car into the yard at home, he
stopped beside a Ford car parked near their house.
Thinking that they were having unexpected company,
the family quickly got out of their car, only to have a
strange man and woman rush out of their home, jump
into the Ford car, and speed away. Leaving Mrs. Hibbs
and the children in the yard, Rob turned his car
around and pursued the strangers but was unable to
overtake them. It was a frightening experience for the
entire family. They found the interior of their home in
disarray but nothing stolen.
Needing a school for the three children, in 1921 the
Hibbs family moved to an adjoining section, one and
one-half miles northeast of Mulock, making it possible
for the children to attend the Ochiltree County, one-room
country school of Enterprise. Still later, when
country schools were consolidated, the children rode
school buses into Waka. To complete her last years of
high school, Ruth rode a school bus into Perryton,
where she graduated with the class of 1931.
In those early days there were few modern conven-
iences which we accept as necessities today;
however, on weekends in summer there were ice-
cream socials, horses to ride, and other enjoyable
church and community activities.
The beginning of the Great Depression was in 1931.
This was also the year that RuthJo married her teenage
boyfriend and immediately began working beside him
to help make a living in those Depression days. Nearly
six years later, twin daughters were born to this union;
a happy day Indeed! The next five years Ruth remained
home and cared for the twin daughters, then again
entered the work force as a secretary and bookkeeper
in and around Perryton. She spent the next thirty-five
years working in this vocation in Perryton offices and
banks.
Her twin daughters are the former Martin twins,
Iris and Tone. Ione married Paul Simmons, son of
former local people, Edwin and Anabel (Gilliam)
Simmons, Paul and Ione, who live in Pampa, Texas,
are partners with Paul's parents in an accounting
firm. They are parents of an adult daughter who is a
graduate of West Texas State University, Canyon,
Texas, and a son who is presently a student of the
university.
Iris married Bill Cornell, whose parents are ministers.
Iris and Bill live in Perryton. They have three adult
daughters and two grandsons. Iris holds a degree
from Southern Methodist University in trust banking
and is a trust officer in First Bank and Trust of Booker.
RuthJo is now married to Bruce "Tim" Reardon,
who came to Ochiltree county in the 1940% as a driller
on one of the first producing oil-wells in this county.
L. Bruce Reardon was born in Scofield, Utah, a son of
Bruce L. and May (Wainwright) Reardon. Orphaned
by his father at the age of one year and by his mother
at the age of eleven, he and a sister were returned
from Portland, Oregon, where their mother died, to
Salt Lake City, Utah, where they were taken into the
home of an uncle. He attended school in Salt Lake
City, then later while living with step-grandparents,
he attended school in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
It was there that he acquired the nickname of "Tim,"
jokingly given to him by other students, from an old
hermit who lived in mountains near there and whose
name was Tim Reardon. The nickname has remained
with him ever since.
Bruce's sister, who had been with him from the
time of his mother's death, married and moved to
Council Bluffs, Iowa. Bruce followed her. Working
his way through school, he graduated from Thomas
Jefferson High School in Council Bluffs.
After graduation, he joined the National Guard,
where he spent several years, then returned to Wyoming
where he had a brother. He got a job with Sinclair
there. When drilling began nearby, he joined a drilling
crew and became an oil well driller. After a number of
transfers, he came to the Texas Panhandle and was a
driller on one of the first producing oil wells in Ochiltree
County. While drilling for Cree Companies, near Borger,
Bruce was seriously injured. Edwin Simmons was
associated with Cree Companies, so while "Tim" was
recuperating from the foot injury, Edwin hired him to
manage a farm and oilfield supply store which Ed and
his son Paul owned in Spearman. Tim took the job
and never returned to oilfield drilling.
In 1964 he was transferred to the Simmons supply
store in Perryton, where he met Mrs. RuthJo Martin,
who was also the mother-in-law of Paul Simmons.
Mrs. RuthJo Martin and L. Bruce Reardon were married
in September of 1965.
Bruce has one daughter and one son as well
as fivegrandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
All live in Wyoming.Though Bruce is past retirement
age, he still remains actively employed in selling to
farm, ranch, and oilfield customers who are also his friends.
Ruth Hibbs Reardon has been a member of
Perryton Full Gospel Church since the first church was
built in 1931. Both Ruth and Bruce are members and
regular attendants of the new Full Gospel Church at
2210 SW 15th, Perrton. They continue to live in their
new home on Colgate Street in Perryton, enjoying
their lives together as well as sharing in the lives of
their children and grandchildren.

REMEMBRANCES
Family History
Mullock Way Station, Post Office, and Cemetery
Huff's Chapel/New Hope School
by Ruth Jo Hibbs Reardon, 1980
Both the Fort Dodge and Fort Lyons Wagon Trails forded the Palo Duro
Creek
near the Mullock Way Station which was established in 1899 by Mr. Ira
Mullock
to accommodate travelers migrating westward. Frequently after wagon
trains
had passed by on the trails, fresh little unmarked graves would appear
in the
small Mullock Cemetery. There also nigh be some fresh unmarked adult
graves
as well. The cemetery lies approximately one mile north and one mile
west of
the old Mullock Way Station and original site of Mullock Post Office.
The
Post Office was moved later and but then permanently discontinued about
1920.
The Mullock Cemetery was established by the early settlers surrounding
'Mullock Way Station' and Post office to be used by the local
community.
Mullock Way Station was on the east side of the creek and lay less than
one hundred
yards above the Palo Duro Creek and included small barns, corrals,
and pens to accommodate a variety of livestock destined for their new
home.
Over the next few years other Postmasters followed Mullock. By 1912,
Mrs.
Lula Newcomb was appointed Postmaster and she promptly moved the Post
office
into the Newcomb ranch house. The Mullock Way Station was put up for
sale.
In the early part of 1906, Lura's father, Ethan, and mother, Julia
Elizabeth, had moved to the area around Palo Duro Creek and became
neighbors
of the Newcomb's. Upon learning that Mullock Way Station and adjoining
land
was for sale, and knowing that Rob and Lura wanted more land, Ethan
sent word
to them about this opportunity, Everything eventually worked out and in
1912, my parents bought Mullock Way Station. They also owned two
sections
east of the Palo Duro Creek, part of which lay in Ochiltree County
where we
moved later. Then soon after the first of the year in 1913, they and
their small
daughter, Julia Rosa, moved from Beaver County, Oklahoma into the house
at
Mullock Way Station, on the Palo Duro Creek, twenty miles west of the
present
town of Perryton, Texas. The Mullock Way station is where I, Ruth Jo
Hibbs-Reardon,
was born followed the next year by my brother, Lawrence Dell.
Since the Palo Duro drained such a large area and a dam was nearby, my
father feared that we might sometime be flooded so he later tore down
the Way
Station and built a four room house up a hill above the old location,
The
gates were removed from the dam and this became a favorite swimming and
fishing hole with a grove of trees nearby that was ideal for
picnicking.
During that time, it was customary for farmers and ranchers to haul
winter
supplies by wagon from Guymon, OK. As the main wagon trail passed our
house
frequently men and wagons spent the night with my parents, watering
there
horses at the creek and sheltering them in the barns and corrals
remaining
from the Way Station. We were taught compassion and hospitality for
those less
fortunate than we. Many were those who found refuge and hospitality in
our home
for a night, a week or longer. We lived there until 1921.
About 1908, my maternal Grandfather, Ethan Allen Luke, an outstanding
stone
mason and engineer was then living in Yale, Oklahoma near Tulsa. He and
his
sons owned the Alamo Construction Company and had a reputation for
doing good
Construction work. Hearing of his dependable reputation, he was
persuaded by
local ranchers of North Hansford County, Texas, to move to the area to
constructirrigation ditches and dams on the lower Palo Duro Creek. He bought
land and built a home two miles north of Mullock Cemetery and
constructed some
dams which were used until they washed away in the floods of the
1930's.
While Grandfather Ethan Luke and Grandmother Julia Elizabeth were
living
Near the Palo Duro Creek in Hansford County and engaged in constructing
dams
on the Palo Duro Creek, their nephew, Ralph Luke, the son of Ethan's
sister,
Caroline, who had lived with them part of the time as he grew to
manhood,
returned to their home. Ralph had enlisted in the II. S. Navy where he
contracted tuberculosis and returned to the home of his Uncle and Aunt
hoping
to recover. But he died and was buried in Mullock Cemetery.
Mama spoke of her cousin, Ralph, many times. It seems that both Grandpa
and Grandma Luke were very fond of him and I heard my mother say that
he had
lived with Grandpa and Grandma before going into the Navy but did not
ever
hear of his mother.
The Mullock Cemetery where Ralph Luke lies is about 21 miles north of
Spearman going toward Hardesty, OK, and is now on private property. A
little
more than a week ago, my husband, Bruce (Tim), and I drove out to the
little
Cemetery and got permission to see where Ralph Luke was buried.
The current landowners keep the fence in good repair and the cemetery
is
locked with a very old iron gate decorated with wrought iron and there
are
Yucca Plants directly behind the entry gate. Ralph's rather large
tombstone
has his name on it but no date. Looking east from Ralph's tombstone,
the
trees in the background about l-1/2 miles away are along the Palo Duro
Creek.
The large dam that Grandfather was hired to build was never completed
because the ranchers who contracted for the construction ran into
financial
difficulties and' did not furnish the money agreed upon. Grandfather
Luke
resigned from that construction job and moved his family to the town of
Ochiltree in Ochiltree County, Texas, some twenty-five miles southeast.
He
bought land and a home and a local livery stable which he operated with
some
of his sons. He also bought a threshing machine, this being long before
the
day's of wheat combines so wheat threshing was a very profitable
business.
In 1916, my Grandmother Luke (Julia Elizabeth) died. I barely remember
my
father holding me up to see her in her casket. She was buried in the
local
Ochiltree County Cemetery. Grandfather Ethan Allen Luke was also buried
next
to Grandmother when he died in 1929. But after she died, Ethan and part
of
his family worked in Colorado for a while. Later he moved back to Ohio
where
he was born and still had any close relatives.
The Mullock Cemetery also lies approximately three-quarters of a mile
west
of the final site of "Huff's Chapel". Huff's Chapel was
originally located
about two miles further south near the Palo Duro Creek. But, due to the
recent changing of the Palo Duro Creek channel, the Chapel had to be
moved
to prevent it from washing into the creek. This chapel location is
twenty
miles due north and one mile east of the present town of Spearman,
Texas. It
is also approximately twenty miles west and one mile north of the
present
town of Perryton, Ochiltree County, Texas. The Palo Duro runs about l/2
mile
east of the old location of Huff's Chapel and the cemetery lies
approximately
three-fourths mile west of the old location of Huff's Chapel.
The local schoolhouse built of "sod" had become unsafe for
use so Huff's
Chapel was used both as a schoolhouse and church for several years
until
another school building was constructed. When my sister started to
school
there, she was the only girl to attend, so I was also sent along with
her to
be company for her that year. While being used as both a school and
church,
Huff's Chapel began to be called "New Hope" as that was also
the name of the
local school. Also the cemetery took the same name of New Hope
Cemetery,
which name it still goes by. This little 'Huff's Chapel-New Hope'
school was
the first school that my sister, Julia, and I attended.
In 1919, the first railroad was completed through Hansford and
Ochiltree
County's. The railroad missed the three towns of: Hansford in Hansford
County, Texas, ten miles west of the present location of Spearman;
Ochiltree
in Ochiltree County, Texas, eight miles south of the present location
of
Perryton; and also Gray in Beaver County, OK which was twelve miles
north of
the present location of Perryton. The three towns literally moved,
buildings
and all, from their former locations to the railroad tracks. Hansford
became
the town of Spearman in Hansford County, Texas, and Gray, OK became
the town of Perryton, Texas.
In 1921, with a need for better school facilities for their three
children,
Julia, Ruth, and Lawrence, my parents moved to land one and one-half
miles
east and one-half mile north of the old Mullock Way Station. This
placed our
house just barely across the Ochiltree County line, so they were able
to
attend Waka and Perryton schools. Here we lived until 1936, when we
moved to
Sunset, Arkansas and lived for five years before returning to the town
of
Perryton where they spent the remainder of their lives. They are buried
side
by side in Ochiltree Cemetery where my grandparents are buried.
In the mid twenties, Huff's Chapel, owned by the Presbyterians, was
offered
for sale. My parents bought it, then loaned it back to the community to
be
used as a local community church. The congregation of this little
church
cared for and kept the little cemetery in repair for many years.
Finally, our ranch land was sold to larger ranch interests. My brother,
Lawrence, removed the little church building. Most local people moved
from
the area but the little cemetery, surrounded by a high woven wire fence
with
a padlocked iron gate, still remains as a memorial to the pioneer
settlers of
Hansford County, Texas.
Hansford County Historical Society of Spearman is publishing a
historical
book on the county. Our county Jud
e asked me to write a history of this
little cemetery, so I took this from what I had written for the book.
By Ruth Jo (Hibbs) Reardon, 1980
Ruth Jo (Hibbs) Reardon, daughter of Lura Bell (Luke) Hibbs wrote the
following
very interesting historical piece about the area where Lura Luke Hibbs
family
lived and grew up.This was n Hansford County TX in the early 1900's. As noted in the
article, this work was writtento be published in the Hansford Historical Society's history books
about Hansford County.Evidently Ruth did not get it submitted in time. This article was first

Marriage Notes for RUTH HIBBS and IRA MARTIN:
When I was born, both Grandpa and Grandma
Luke were there. My parents
told me that Grandpa Luke asked to give me the name of "Ruth"
they had named one of their children Ruth who died shortly after birth.
Then my father told grandma Luke to me my middle name. She said " I
Will name her after her grandpa's mother, then he can't dislike the
name". S she gave me the name of Josephine, but as my father wanted a
boy, he shortened the name to JO, so I was really named after my Great Grandmother
Luke. However I have always given thanks to my father for
shortening my name.
