Harry Starr
Post office---Negro Town, Ft. Gibson
I was born in 1852 close to Evansville, Arkansas. My father was Ellis Starr, a slave that went on Blue Creek during the Civil War. I went to Belle School in the Flint District. I remember the $10.65 bread-money payment. I was a harvest hand in my youth. I remember that I got a job from the contractor that built the early day jail at Tahlequah, I helped dig the basement.
