Another Rauh Who Migrated to Alva, Oklahoma

A few of us at the museum refer to churches such as Alva, Oklahoma as “Perry County suburbs” because so many Perry County natives migrated there and helped establish that congregation. I will tell another Alva, Oklahoma story today. We begin with the groom.
