Everett Bayless Ritter and his family migrated to Oklahoma about the first of November 1887. They came by rail from Amory, Mississippi, to Fort Smith, Arkansas, thence by wagon to Cameron, or rather to Kully Chaha, as that was before Cameron. The family eventually moved further west into Hughes County, Oklahoma and settled in Atwood.
If E. B Ritter arrived in Oklahoma about the 1st of November 1887 as told by his son Jeremiah Coleman Ritter on the Indian Pioneer Papers that would mean Sarah Jane Ritter married a mear 17 days after they arrived. Her marriage to J.T. Farrell recorded 17 Nov 1887 at Fort Smith, AR.
Originally E. B. and his sons obtained work permits and were farming on Indian lands near Kully Chaha 3 miles from Cameron, the telegraph and express shipping point. In a few years E. B. Ritter and Sons had a general merchandise store in Kully Chaha and A. H. Ritter was the postmaster and the Stallings Brothers had a blacksmith shop. E. B. Ritter later married Martha Stallings nee Edwards Oct 3, 1909 in Newburg after the death of Mary Catherine (Riggan) Ritter.
Ritter, Oklahoma, now a ghost town, was named for E. B. Ritter, the first postmaster who also owned the general store. Ritter was a post office from September 28, 1912, to September 15, 1919. Ritter, Oklahoma was located in Section 27-T5N-R10E and Atwood in Section 27-T6N-R9E. Ritter was about one mile southwest of Atwood.
Everett's brother James Henderson Ritter is also buried in the Atwood Cemetery.
Unlike their sister's families, E.B. Ritter and his brothers James Henderson & Isaac A. never applied for citizenship with the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma.
