Overview DeGolyer Library, Southern Methodist University Muskogee Company Muskogee Company records [Part 1] 1808-circa 1939 circa 1910-circa 1930 105 boxes (105 linear feet) This collection contains records related to the Muskogee Company, a holding company which directed several small railroads in Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. Most of the collection concerns the Muskogee Company: company history, finances, correspondence, and the smaller companies under its direction including the Midland Valley Railway, the Oklahoma City-Ada-Atoka Railway, the Cherokee Construction Company, and the Kansas, Oklahoma & Gulf Railroad. Records on the Osage Railroad and the papers of Charles Edward Ingersoll—the Philadelphia businessman who helped create and direct the Muskogee Company—are also included. Mss 0045 Material is in English Historical Note

The history of the Muskogee Company begins with the Choctaw, Oklahoma & Gulf Railroad, built in the 1890s by a group of Philadelphia businessmen headed by Charles Edward Ingersoll. The line ran from Hartford, Arkansas to McAlester, Oklahoma. It was constructed to serve the Arkansas coal fields in which the Philadelphians held extensive interests: the Sebastian County Coal & Mining Co., American Smokeless Coal Co., Mazzrad Coal & Mining Co., and Garland Coal & Mining Co.

In 1902 the Ingersoll group sold their line to a competitor and decided to start a new line – the Midland Valley Railroad – from Ft. Smith, Arkansas to Wichita, Kansas. The road was to travel northwest from Arkansas through Indian Territory (Oklahoma) via Muskogee, Tulsa, and a portion of the Osage Indian Nation, and was conceived with the idea of serving the coal market in Kansas and points beyond.

In order to finance the new line, the Philadelphians formed the Cherokee Construction Company, which issued notes and mortgages and quickly began work on the Midland Valley Railroad. As the Midland Valley became operable, it issued its own stocks and bonds. When the line reached Arkansas City, Kansas, additional companies – the Midland Construction Company and the Wichita & Midland Valley Railroad – were formed to complete the construction and operation of the line from Arkansas City to Wichita. These two additional companies were based in Wichita.

Although the Midland Valley Railroad was originally intended primarily to haul coal, the discovery and development of oil fields during the early 1900s, and the subsequent economic and population growth, led to expansion both in traffic and of the railroad itself. Growth was largely due to traffic in oil, but the line saw increases in passenger and freight traffic as well. The Glenn Pool Branch line was constructed to serve the Glenn Pool oilfield. An independent road, the Osage Railway, was built during the early 1920s to accommodate traffic from the oil fields located in the Osage Nation.

Several holding companies were also formed during the 1920s, and were primarily concerned with the Midland Valley’s affairs – the Foraker Company, Bird Creek Company, and the Muskogee Company. Another, the Southwestern Company, was formed in order to acquire the stocks and bonds of the Kansas, Oklahoma & Gulf Railroad, a nearby road that had twice gone into receivership. In 1926, the Southwestern Company was able to take over the K.O. & G. and, after its recognition, was soon operating that railroad profitably. In 1929, the Muskogee Company acquired the Oklahoma City-Ada-Atoka Railroad Company and its subsidiary line, the Oklahoma City- Shawnee Interurban Company. Thus, the Ingersoll interests came to own and operate four different lines with a total of 756 miles of track.

Through prudent management, the railroads survived the Great Depression and continued operating successfully thereafter. In 1953, however, the Osage Railroad was abandoned. In 1963, the Texas & Pacific, a subsidiary of the Missouri Pacific Railroad, acquired the Midland Valley; Kansas, Oklahoma & Gulf; and the Oklahoma City-Ada-Atoka railroads. The latter was sold to the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe that same year, while the former two lines were consolidated with the Texas & Pacific.

Scope and Contents of the Collection

The Muskogee Company Papers are organized into three administrative divisions: the Muskogee Company (including all of the predecessor companies), the Osage Railway, and the personal papers of Charles Edward Ingersoll. Within each of these three series, the files have been placed in chronological order according to the earliest date of correspondence within each file. Because the original files have been, for the most part, left intact, some overlapping of topics at the file level is to be expected. The papers date from the 1890s to the 1960s, but the bulk of the collection ranges from the 1910s to 1930s.

By far, the largest part of the collection is the Muskogee Company records, comprised of all papers related to the Midland Valley Railroad and its subsidiary companies. Many of these papers originated in the Muskogee office of A. W. Lefeber, vice president and general manager of the Midland Valley. The rest are from the Philadelphia offices of Charles Ingersoll. Correspondence from 1903-1926 is primarily concerned with the Midland Valley and Kansas, Oklahoma & Gulf railroads. From 1929 on, the papers cover the Midland Valley; Kansas, Oklahoma & Gulf; and the Oklahoma City-Ada-Atoka roads.

The Osage Railway was built and operated as an independent line. Therefore, papers related to its affairs have been arranged separately from the other railroads.

The personal papers of Charles Edward Ingersoll are compromised of materials regarding both private and business matters unrelated to the Muskogee Company. Ingersoll, a Philadelphia lawyer who was born in 1860, served as president of the Central Penn National Bank and of the North Pennsylvania railroad. He also worked as director of the Missouri Pacific railroad, the Pennsylvania railroad, and the Philadelphia & Western railroad. He also directed the Philadelphia Electric Company, and served on the Board of Managers of the Girard Trust Company and the Philadelphia Savings Fund Society.

Mr. Ingersoll also served as a delegate to the 1896 Democratic National Convention, and ran for a seat in Congress in 1902.
