Cloud Chief

Early photos tell so much About how a town began Folks took on the challenges Like discovering a new land And that’s how it was in Cloud Chief They staked out claims to homestead Scraping out a place to live A place to lay their heads A horse and plow was all they had To build homes and a few stores Can you imagine how difficult it was? Homes sometimes had no floors Indians had settled first And then the general population Folks wanted to settle down Create a new generation That’s what they did in Cloud Chief It was an exciting time for growth As people took a chance And officials took an oath It’s interesting to look at pictures From a hundred years and more Compare how towns look today And what they looked like before!
