    • VINSON MEMORIES (Published by VINSON HISTORY BOOK COMMITTEE Christins Spurlin, Chairman, Copyright 1995) contains a biographical sketch, along with a picture, of Hamilton Neil and his wife Rosetta (Zettie) and their four children. It notes that the Neil's, along with their four children, moved by covered wagon from Farmersville, Texas to Oklahoma around 1898. Hamilton was teaching school in Collin County, Texas, earning $30 a month, when he and Zettie married in 1893. About five years later they moved to Granite, Oklahoma where his sister, Ella, and her husband, John SHERRILL and earlier moved. Hamilton helped build the railroad at Granite working two mules and a dirt dipper. Then he moved his family north of the mountain to farm. In the 1901 lottery, he drew 160 acres near Lawton, and moved there. In January, 1907 the Neils bought a farm one and one-forth miles east of Vinson and a half mile south. At Vinson, relatives of the NEILS within visiting distances were the SHERRILLS with whom they exchanged many overnight visits and a sister of Zettie's, SARAH JONES, who lived about 10 miles west of Vinson with her family. After Hamilton died, Zettie attempted to continue farming but she had some bad luck when one of her mules ate some grasshopper poison and died, and then later the barn burned. She gave up, rented the farm, and moved into Vinson.

      Zettie and Ham Neil also raised her great-nephew, Jack Strong, whose mother Mary Ella Hall, died shortly when he was less than a year old.
