Barclay Morgan recently removed the last remnants of the Dorsey Building on Trudgeon Street. This building, which was once a significant landmark, included a cottage and a two-story frame structure used as an undertaking establishment by J.W. Dorsey for twenty years. Dorsey, an undertaker and embalmer, was well-known in the town and had embalmed an unidentified man who was displayed in a glass case for many years. Morgan plans to build a residence on the property, marking the end of an era for the old building.

The Henryetta school system’s track was nearing completion, with drains installed and the track ready for its cinder covering. Superintendent Lyle Berryhill reported the progress at a school board meeting, where Dr. Marvin Adams praised the track’s cost-effectiveness. Most construction expenses were covered by donations and volunteer labor. The board also discussed the athletic fund’s good shape, potential lunch program price increases, and restroom conditions at Cameron Stadium. The meeting concluded with an executive session.
