Did You Know...
(Sapulpa Herald, August 5, 1944) The Herald would publish stories about local service men almost on a daily basis during World War I and World War II. One was about T-Sgt Leon Rainwater who had just completed his 35th mission over Europe (during WWII). He was at a hospital recovering from nerve shock and ear injuries. He planned on being home soon. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. L.R. Rainwater and husband to Edith Rainwater.* *Bonus* Leon (known as Roy) Rainwater opened a jewelry store, Rainwater Jewelry, in 1956. The second article above talks about the store celebrating its 40th Anniversary.
