Our Washbourne Family Genealogy: Ancestors of C.E. Washburn

Vicki Stewart and her family moved to Bartlesville, OK in 1980 when her husband, Everett, was hired by Phillips Petroleum Company. Their two children graduated from Bartlesville High School and attended college at their parents' alma mater, Oklahoma State University. Both have successful careers and families of their own. The Stewarts are still in Bartlesville and enjoying their retirement years. Vicki is a retired School Library Media Specialist and began her quest to pursue her interest in genealogy which has pretty much consumed her leisure time for the last 20 years. In addition, she has volunteered numerous hours at the local history museum and was involved in editing and publishing the book, FAMILY HISTORIES OF WASHINGTON COUNTY AREA, OKLAHOMA. She and two other friends soon began working on a book that became a "dream" during the time the FAMILY HISTORIES book was in progress. IF BARTLESVILLE WALLS COULD TALK was the result of their "dream." It is about the prominent homes in Bartlesville built during the Oil Boom in Oklahoma in the early 1900s and the family histories which formulated the unique city of Bartlesville. The book became a local best seller and is currently out of print. The 2nd Edition of BARTLESVILLE WALLS is now in progress. Now that she has put the genealogy of her mother's family in print, she will switch her efforts to finishing the Stewart family genealogy. From there, who knows!!!
