Tom fought in WWII and opened a gas station in Parsons, Kansas when he returned home. They divorced after 25 years, which was unheard of in the late 1960s. Dorothy went to nursing school and worked nights at the local hospital to support her travels all over the world. One photo of Dorothy and her elderly boyfriend is of them sitting atop a camel in Australia. Though Dorothy canned and quilted along with other traditional chores, she loved adventure. She haunted flea markets and amassed large collections of paperweights, Toby mugs, Avon and quilts. She even taught her grandson Robert Murman the fine art of collecting. His specialty was shaving mugs, which he sold later to help finance his college education. Dorothy made a baby quilt for her great granddaughter Francesca out of old Sunbonnet Sue blocks trimmed in ugly lace which Francesca finally parted with when she was fifteen years old only when her grandmother promised to salvage the Sunbonnet Sue blocks. Dorothy had a heart attack driving to the post office. Her foot hit the gas pedal and crashed into a building. Dorothy died as unexpectedly as she lived—unpredictably and extraordinarily.
	Antique Quilt - 5583 - NEW ADDITION: 1871 dated Jacquard summer/winter double weave coverlet in rust, navy and ecru home spun wool and flax homemade vegetable dyes in Pennsylvania Dutch Tulip medallion octagonal tiles set with oak leaf blocks on point and floral undulating vine border with snowflake inner and outer thin borders and good fringe on bottom from estate of Jean Arlene (1932-2009) and Bob Harpster’s Nichols Hills Estate in Oklahoma City. Outstanding colors and design! Moth damage and staining shown in closeup 74" x 91" $495 Jean passed away in March and was survived by brother George & Lucille Harpster, Ponca City,Brian & Louise Harpster of Bentonville, AR and Val & Margaret Brewer of Tulsa. Jean’s great uncle (?) George Beidler and his 11 year old son Chase left family and friends in their hometown of Middletown, Pennsylvania on the Santa Fe train to come to the frontier army outpost of what is now Oklahoma City before the 1889 Land Run as the first Postmaster appointed by President Harrison. They bought an old Sooner Log Cabin for $5 and moved it fifty yards west of the railroad at Main and Grand. His wife had made a huge U.S. flag to fly over the first Post Office. They hammered together long boards for a table to sort the mail, which doubled as their bed. They opened for business five days before the run. Because of the avalanche of mail, they delivered the mail by calling names and dumped papers on the floor for patrons to sort through. They built a new three-story brick building at 111 N. Broadway, the finest building in town and is still standing. George was elected the City Registrar of Deeds. George served four years in the Civil War as First Lieutenant of the 106^th Illinois Infantry and was active in the Grand Army of the Republic. He died in 1921 at age 79, survived by his son Chase and daughter Bernice (Mrs. Frank M. Hughes) George’s son Chase helped him in the post office until he became a clerk in the Oklahoma City Abstract office in the early 1900’s . Because he tired of copying documents by hand, he patented the idea and process of photographing documents and founded the Rectigraph Company in 1906 which he moved to Rochester, NY. He was so suspicious of people stealing his emulsion formula for coating photo copy papers, that he carried the data in his head and insisted on mixing it himself. A bit eccentric, Chase was often mistaken for the janitor in his shabby clothes. His employees loved him because he believed all work should cease at 3:00 p.m. He himself worked seven days a week and took no vacation. He designed and built his own airplane but never got the nerve to fly it, instead just taxied it around a vacant field. He hired a pilot to fly it. He sold his business and patent three years later to Haloid Co, which is now Xerox.
