ARCHIVAL PHOTOGRAPH RECORD
Oklahoma Historical Society: W. J. Whiteman Home
A source note from the Whiteman Family Historical Archive.
What the record documents
The Oklahoma Historical Society Gateway record identifies a photograph of the W. J. Whiteman home in Goodwater and describes the home as having been built before Oklahoma statehood in 1907. This is independent archival evidence that the Whiteman home existed during the territorial era.
Evidence boundary
Supports: the existence of a W. J. Whiteman home in Goodwater before 1907. It does not, by itself, establish the family’s exact 1893 construction date.
Research standard
This archive distinguishes family tradition from independently documented evidence. Links are provided to the underlying record whenever practical so readers can inspect the evidence directly.
