The Talbot Library and Museum recently received this Cherokee Numeral Clock as a donation from Mrs. Ann Cherry.   Ann is a current employee of Gates Corporation (formerly Gates Rubber Company) and has worked at the company for many years. 
Former Cherokee Chief Chad Smith donated the clock to Gates Rubber Company, in honor of his father, who was a long time employee of Gates.     The Gates Rubber Company gave the clock to Ann Cherry and now she has donated it to the Talbot Library & Museum.

We are so grateful to Mrs. Cherry for generously donating the clock for the benefit of visitors at the Talbot Library and Museum.  The clock is hanging near the entry way.  It is a practical representation of Cherokee culture and looks great  in our library!

Julie L. Reed, the author of the book Serving the Nation - Cherokee Sovereignty and Social Welfare, 1800-1907!,  will be the guest speaker at the July 16 Goingsnake Meeting to be held at the Talbot Library and Museum, Colcord, OK! Put that one on your calendar!
