Reverend Augustus C. Roker served in the Episcopal Missionary District of Oklahoma from 1910 - 1932. He was the longest serving Black Episcopal priest in the Missionary District. Dean Roker moved to Oklahoma due to Bishop Brooke's desire to create a Black Episcopal mission in Muskogee. The mission, St. Philip's, had no land or building but Roker was not deterred. He rented the Masonic Hall and after two years, rented Bailey’s Hall until enough money was saved to buy land. Reverend Roker believed in recruiting men for confirmation as a means of establishing a committed, growing congregation. He also believed a neighborhood kindergarten school would recruit families to the church. In the evenings, the Reverend visited homes and churches recruiting other Black families to St. Philip’s. Dean Roker was ordained by Bishop Thurston on June 16,1915. Reverend Roker was a priest at St. Philip’s for sixteen years, even through difficult times. His success was partly determined by his policy of recruiting Muskogee's upper-class families to the church. St. Philip’s would not have become such a growing, stable Episcopal Church in the late teens and early twenties without the foundation of Reverend Roker’s dedication and hard work.

Photograph of a Bermuda grass pasture.

Photograph of two acre Bermuda grass pasture strip developed from a badly gullied draw. The draw was sloped and sodded in 1938 and now provides grazing at the rate of 1 unit per acre and serves as an outlet channel for 70 acres of terraced and cultivated land. Mr. Fred Bunch states that this pasture strip furnishes better grazing than any of his 28 acres of native pasture on this 160 acre farm. He also states that his soil conservation practices have increased by $1,000 the value of this farm. Terraces were built with the assistance of the old Sentinel Civilian Conservation Corps [CCC] Camp. OK-8467. Meadow development. In the spring of 1940 this 60 acre abandoned, cultivated field was planted to sericea lespedeza. There was formerly a shoulder deep gully where the man I standing and numerous smaller ones covered the area. This year Mr. George Stainer has made one cutting for hay that yielded a ton per acre. It has been heavily grazed since then and another hay crop could be cut immediately (the estimated yield is 1 ton per acre). OK-8628.
