Paulene Ida Bass Harryman
(Excerpts of article written by Cody Johnson).
The town of Newcastle lost one of its oldest citizens last week. Paulene Ida (Bass) Harryman passed away Thursday, Sept 18, at the age of 101. She still mowed her own lawn, with a push mower, at the age of 93. She had lived in Newcastle almost her entire life. She moved to Newcastle in 1921, with her family and parents, Cora & Clarence Bass, and siblings, Viola, Ernest, & Clell, in the back of her fathers Model T.
Paulene attended primary school at Old Newcastle School. She graduated in 1931 as the class Valedictorian, and soon after leaving high school, she married Vencil Harryman on 10/10/1932 in Oklahoma City. She was first and foremost a homemaker and raised her family in this town, but she also worked along side her husband, first in farming and then in the Harryman Insurance Agency.
