Clyde Lowery ledgers Collection 1994-003 Dates: 1940-1984. Extent: (1 box). Level of Description: Folder level. Name of creator(s): Ron Croft. Date of creation: Undetermined. Scope and Content: The Clyde Lowery ledgers are a small, ruled tally book and four legal-sized ledger books containing financial records and related notes on the operating expenses of Lowery's ranch located near Cedar Vale, Kansas. Some entries record transactions between the Lowery ranch and the adjacent Chapman-Barnard Ranch (located in Osage County, Oklahoma) which Lowery at one time served as foreman. Administrative/Biographical History: Clyde R. Lowery (17 October 1896-3 December 1984) moved to Indian Territory from Missouri in 1905. He was foreman of the Chapman-Barnard ranch before getting his own ranch at Harrison township, section 21, near Cedar Vale, Kansas. Access and Copyright: Language and Scripts: English. Finding aid/Inventory: Finding aid is available online. Provenance/Source of Acquisition: The Lowery ledgers were acquired by Ron Croff, a Sedan, Kansas, saddle maker and leather worker, at Lowery's 1985 estate sale. In October 1994, Croff passed them to James P. Ronda, H. G. Barnard Professor of American History at the University of Tulsa, with the understanding that they would be placed on deposit in the library for scholarly use and for use by former ranch associates. Date(s) of description: Sidney F. Huttner, 1996. Access Points:
