The MoH You Know

The MoH You Know is an ongoing conversation with the Claremore Museum of History board members, staff and residents as we strive to preserve the rich history of our local community - one story at a time! Claremore is blessed with many historical figures that achieved much fame and success but there is also a vast array of heritage family members who have been part of our community since before statehood. Celebrating history, connecting community and inspiring creativity are three key components of our mission. Our desire is that these pillars of our mission will weave their way into the conversations and discussions that we will have on the podcasts.

The couple made their home in Claremore, and together raised their three children. A wonderful wife and mother, Jessie took great care of her family while Ralph operated the Lingenfelter's DX Station at 301 W. Will Rogers Blvd. When Ralph passed in 1971, Jessie worked at the Claremore Hospital, then Lowrance Electronics, and finally serving as the greeter at the J.M. Davis Gun Museum. Jessie was very determined to stay independent throughout her life, and she contributed this to her never smoking or drinking, and making sure she was at church every Sunday. Jessie didn't like giving her age until she was well into her 90’s and she never left home not looking her very best.

    E23: A Claremore Grad's memory of Pearl Harbor

    A Claremore native, John Cockrum was in his junior year at Claremore High School when Pearl Harbor was attacked in December 1941. Later, as seniors, he and four of his classmates — anticipating they would be drafted — agreed to join the Navy together. For Cockrum, though, there was a snag: Too young at age 17, he needed a parent’s permission to enlist. And his mother wouldn’t give it. Finally, he succeeded in getting his father to sign. He graduated from CHS on a Tuesday night and on Friday he was on his way to San Diego for boot camp. From boot camp, he went on to serve on board the USS Piranah in the Pacific and is one of the few remaining survivors from Pearl Harbor.
