MCCURTAIN GAZETTE
Farmer and Idabel Lions Charter Roster, 1924
A source note from the Whiteman Family Historical Archive.
What the record documents
The June 28, 1924 McCurtain Gazette reported the organization of the Idabel Lions Club and printed its charter-member roster. The roster includes “W. J. Whiteman — Farmer.”
Evidence boundary
Supports: his occupation being publicly identified as farmer and his inclusion in the 1924 charter-member roster. It does not establish the extent of his participation after organization.
Research standard
This archive distinguishes what a record directly documents from broader interpretation. The underlying record is linked so readers can inspect the evidence.
