A piece of Lawton history... I was amazed by Mattie Beal and her home when first toured as an elementary student and now 30 years later it still fascinating.

In the land lottery of 1901, in which the federal government opened southwest Oklahoma for settlement, the second name drawn was that of Mattie Beal. This determined young woman from Wichita, Kansas chose her 160-acre allotment south of the Lawton town site. Instant fame was hers and she received hundreds of marriage proposals, but it was local lumberyard owner, Charles Payne, who stole her heart. They were married in 1902. Visiting this historic home will help you understand Lawton's history and its people much better.

Mattie Beal’s name was drawn second in the Lawton Land District during the 1891 land run, giving her claim to 160 acres. She later married Charles Warren Payne, and the couple set about making a permanent home by commuting the 160 acres to individual town lots. By 1907 the couple was able to begin constructing a fourteen-room, Italian and Greek Revival–style mansion in Lawton. In this home, now listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
