Books That Were Stolen From the Carter County Clerk's Office

On Jan. 23, 1992 someone came into the Carter County courthouse in Ardmore, Oklahoma. They removed two valuable Indian Roll Books from the Carter County clerks office without permission. The two books kept records of thousands of names of the five civilized tribes who were on record in 1902. This included the percentage of Indian blood, Name, Roll Number, Census Card Number, and Age. These books were older than statehood and cannot be replaced. The books were described as being the size of average paper about 3 inches thick with red covers.
