Mission Nugget - Bacone College in Muskogee, Oklahoma     

Bacone College, Oklahoma’s oldest continuing center of higher education, began in 1880. With the help of the American Baptist Home Mission Society, Professor Almon C. Bacone, a missionary teacher, started a school in the Cherokee Baptist Mission at Tahlequah, Indian Territory. The only faculty member, Professor Bacone, enrolled three students and began his work. By the end of the first semester, the student body had quadrupled; by the end of the first year, student population was fifty-six and the faculty numbered three. Seeing the need to expand, an appeal was made to the Creek Tribal Council for 160 acres of land in Muskogee, the “Indian Capital of the World.” The land was granted, and in 1885 Indian university was moved to its present site. In 1910, it was renamed Bacone Indian University after its founder and first president and was later changed to Bacone College. Classes from first grade through four years of College met in Rockefeller hall, a three-story building made possible by a $10,000 contribution from John D. Rockefeller.

Grief & Disaster: When the Unthinkable Happens - Tuesday, June 10

Yates County recently experienced a natural disaster. Even when there is no loss of life, natural disasters have great emotional impact.

This mourning process after trauma will be explored in the June 10^th bereavement program led by Rev. Sandi Perl.

Tuesday, June 10^th at 7:00 pm First Presbyterian Church, 211 Main Street, Penn Yan. Free and open to the public. Call Keuka Comfort Care Home to reserve a place: 536-1690
