A search of the Bureau of Land Management database for Lohmann Land Patent details found the following:

Someone might want to use these results to request a search by the National Archives for land entry case files of the John H. Lohmann - Serial Patent Number 252067.

Who

John H. Lohmann

Date

March 7, 1912 [1]

Location

Goodwin, Ellis County, Oklahoma - Section 30 is just south of Section 19 containing the Wilhelm Kirmse homestead - about 1 mile east Goodwin, Oklahoma and about 8 miles southwest of Shattuck, Oklahoma.

Bureau of Land Management Ohio Township (Township 20 North Range 25 West of the Indian Meridian, Oklahoma) map marked red with the location of the Kirmse Land Patent in Section 19.  The Lohmann Land Patent is located in the NW corner of Section 30 - just south of the Kirmse Land Patent.

Original Survey - Kirmse Homestead is Lots 2,3 & 4, SE1/4- NW1/4 of Section 19

1876 Survey of Township 20 North Range 25 West of the Indian Meridian, Oklahoma (including section 30) - eventually known as OHIO Township.

Note the lots on the west side of the township. These are correction blocks to account for the curvature of the earth. There are also corrections on the north side of each township.

Note also the trees along the stream going through section 30. Trees were considered a scarce resource of wood on the flat prairie.

Notes

1. The John H. Lohmann land patent was issued about two years after the land patent was issued to Wilhelm Kirmse.  I assume that Lohmann applied about 1906.
