Agnes Gausnell Martin left Kansas with her family in 1910 to begin life anew in Wagoner County, Oklahoma. Growing up as a prairie farmgirl, she helped her parents with the struggle to break the land and make a living. Her older sister was the "lady" of the family, and helped Mama with the housework, but Agnes was Papa's helper on the farm. Her "Tomboy" ways got her into many scrapes, but she always had a lot of fun. Her family was "poor, but never underprivileged."
