In an early days, right after the Civil War there was quite a store building erected a hundred feet or so north of where Dave Whiteside's home had been (the one which burned down, next to where Leonard Wilmoth now lives). This store was operated by Mack Wilmoth (brother to George and Dallas, son of William Wilmoth) and Bill Gregory (who lived where Thomas Wilmoth now lives, next to church house.) During the operation of the store, there was an established post office inside named Iona. Later the store closed business because Mack Wilmoth and Bill Gregory put one in at Healing Springs. The post office, Iona was moved to the house where Thomas Wilmoth now lives and I think that the postmistress was Mrs. Alice Gregory, wife of Bill Gregory and daughter of William Wilmoth.

Of note, I found a marriage of a Fanny C. Grigory to W.D. Wilmoth on 2 Oct 1884

He was known as "Young Bill".

When his father died in August 1894, Bill Gregory moved to the family farm to care for his mother. He bought the farm - 160 acres from his

brothers and sisters who were also heirs. The land is located where the Falling Springs Cemetery and Church are now located.

They moved from Healing Springs, AR to Beaver County, OK in the summer of 1911, along with Mack Wilmoth. They traveled in 3 covered wagons and a hack. When they arrived in Beaver County, OK, they lived in a 2 room dugout. Later they added a cellar and boarded the school teacher. In 1912, Amma taught school in the sand hills north of Beaver Creek.
