Ella (Quimby) Merritt

COPIED FROM CImarron FAMILY LEGENDS PAGE 236
This followlng information came from a book written about Oklahoma history and its early families. Ths story was donated by my Grandmothers Brother Howard Quimby and was written in his exact words. The section I am going to add here is iust a small part of the Quimby Family history trom the book. My Grandmother' was the girl Ella mentioned in the story.
My family and my wife's family had much in common- Like all the families around Ingalls (Oklahoma), we know the Doolins. We just thought of them as we would any neighbors. They ate dinner with us several times. I was very small. but I remember them telling me that my sister Ella (Grandma), just a kid, used to ride on the horse with the Doolins. Of course the tolks knew they were outlaws, but they were not afraid, so she was allowed to go horse back riding wilh them on occasion. They always wore guns though, but in some ways they were as good as anyone. Frank and Jesse James, and the Dalton gang came to our house once. I never heard of them hurting a neighbor. The Dalton's would take a farmer's saddle horse, if their own horse was stove up. The'd just take the saddle off and give their tired horse which was a good horse, just worn out. Once Frank and Jesse James ate dinner when they were riding through, The folks didnt know who they were until they got through and then they told the folks, lt was simply customary to invite a neighbor or stranger to eat at meal time.
