G.W. IFER

One of the representative citizens of Delaware is G.W. Ifer, farm
manager of the Sanders Oil Company and owner of two of the most
modern business blocks in town. He was born in Wells county,
Indiana, on the 6th of November, 1868, and came to Oklahoma in the
year that this state was admitted to the union. For six months he
resided at Keefer and then spent a like period in the oil fields at
Jenks. Subsequently he became farm manager of the Sanders Oil
Company at Delaware and with the exception of one year he has since
been in charge of all their oil property in the vicinity of
Delaware. Mr. Ifer owns considerable well improved business
property in Delaware, having demonstrated his faith in the growth
of this community by building a fine garage and modern drug store,
the latter being operated by his son-in-law, George Chambers. One
of the main reasons for the erection of the drugstore building was
to give the second floor over to the Masonic lodge for its
meetings, etc. Mr. Ifer is an exemplary member of that craft,
belonging to Delaware Lodge, No. 477. He has attained the
thirty-second degree of the Scottish Rite and is like wise a member
of the Mystic Shrine. 

Mr. Ifer married Miss Arlie Dawley and they became the parents of
a daughter, Minnie F. She married George E. Chambers, and they
have two children: George W. and Peggy L. Mrs. Ifer has passed
away. Mr. Ifer is one of the most public spirited citizens of
Delaware and is never too busy to devote a portion of his time and
attention to the furtherance of any movement for the development
and improvement of the general account.
