Emmett Sylvester Macon

Local Man Recalls Early Railroading

E.S. Macom came with his parents and family to central Washita couty shortly after the Cheyenne-Arapho country was opened for settlement in 1892.

Cloud Chief was the county seat and Macom remembers the bullet marked, cottonwood lumber courthouse.

In 1903 he found a job in the rock Island Railroad Roundhouse in Chickasha from which he worked his way to the place on the right-hand side of the engine cab where he could "watch them old drivers roll."
