OHU50K NOTES

The handyman special bungalow is located in the small town of Indianola (pop. 162). Per Wikipedia, “In 1898, Lyman H. Perkins, a Choctaw farmer who had originally all the land on which Indianola was built, donated 1 acre for construction of a Methodist church. In 1902, the Fort Smith and Western Railway built a track north of town. Indianola quickly relocated to be adjacent to the track, and the residents built a new school building. Lyman Perkins and his wife donated 4 acres to the new town, which retained the name Indianola. The former site was simply called “Old Town.” By 1910, the community claimed 781 residents, which was the all-time high.
