Re: David C. Oates
You can find a good bit of information about David C. "Pat" Oates at the following URL:
http://okielegacy.org/journal/Vol5/OHTHV5-28.html
After serving as sheriff in Woods County, Oklahoma, Pat Oates (mis-identified as "Oakes" in the picture on the Web page) became a deputy warden at the Oklahoma State Prison, McAlester. He was killed in a prison escape attempt in 1914 and was buried in Alva, Oklahoma.
My grandfather, Lee Granville Oates, who grew up in Shattuck, Oklahoma (1897 through the 1930s) was often called "Pat" after the popular and likeable sheriff and deputy warden.
Good luck in your search!
