   More About Charles Otis Ford - from John Marshall Ford:

   Charles Otis Ford had a number of jobs but was mainly a carpenter. He built a house at 1206 NW 1st street in Oklahoma City. He often thrilled his grandchildren with the story of Confederate Money in the attic. Charles Otis Ford took on the responsibility for caring for the graves of his parents at Olive Hill Cemetery near Oklahoma City. It was a days trek to the graves (where he and his sons camped out) and a days trek back. It was still woodsy country then, and not an easy camp, there were still wolves in Oklahoma then. His grandson said they kept the campfire going and often had to fight off the wolves.
