Hi!
Do you know how close to Shamrock they lived? There was a little community
to the East of Shamrock that had a school called U.G. #5. My mother and her
siblings went there. There is a reunion the 2nd Sunday in Sept. in
Drumright for that community. There was another on East called Oak Grove
(not to be confused with the community now West of Drumright named Oak
Grove.) There is no school at Shamrock anymore and of course the two other
communities I mentioned are long gone, so your best bet would be the county
seat, Sapulpa.

Good luck!
