Alan Loeffler

Alan Loeffler is a graduate of Oklahoma State University with an engineering degree. After graduation he began working with students as a staff member with Campus Crusade for Christ for seven years in Illinois and Beirut, Lebanon. He then worked in Oklahoma City at his family's HVAC distribution business for forty-three years. He and his wife Deborah retired from the business in 2020 after leading the company for over thirty years. His interests in history encompass family, company, and engineering society. Loeffler took up the mantle of family historian from his mother, who saved all kinds of photos and records, and has made some interesting discoveries of "lost" family members. The family business, Federal Corporation, is a 104-year-old company. Recently, a treasure trove of construction blueprints from the early 1900s of Oklahoma commercial buildings Loeffler's grandfather worked on were discovered. These old blueprints are being processed and offered to the present-day owners of schools, hospitals, hotels, and office buildings. Loeffler also held the office of historian for ten years for the Central Oklahoma Chapter of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, an HVAC engineering society, writing numerous articles concerning Oklahoma individuals and past HVAC projects.

Martin\, an assistant professor of history and coordinator of the public history certificate in the Department of History at Northeastern State University in Tahlequah\, will present a program for Women's History Month at Honey Springs Battlefield and Visitor Center. The presentation is scheduled for Saturday\, March 30\, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. and is titled "I Thought This Place Doomed: Emma Caroline Morley and Sterling Price's Failed Raid of 1864." \nIn the fall of 1864\, Confederate General Sterling Price embarked upon a last-ditch effort to shore up support for the Confederacy in Missouri. In addition\, Price sought to launch raids into eastern Kansas and control the all-important military road that ran from Fort Leavenworth to Fort Scott and down into the Indian Territory. At the same time\, Emma Caroline Morley\, a young woman from Ohio\, left the safety of her home and traveled to St. Louis. Emma wanted to secure a position for herself as a nurse at Benton Barracks. When her dream of becoming a nurse was quashed because she was too young\, Emma pushed westward to join her brother in Fort Scott\, Kansas. Little could Emma know that her travel coincided with Price's raid. When Emma arrived in Fort Scott\, however\, Price's forces were not far behind\, and she\, along with other townsfolk\, evacuated to the Kansas prairie for safety. Despite the danger she faced\, Emma kept a diary that provides historians with a unique perspective on the war in the Western theater. Join Dr. Martin as she shares Emma's amazing story\, learn how the war impacted civilians and dive deeper into women's roles during this critical period in American history. \n \nDr. Martin is a Michigander by birth and a Kansan and Oklahoman by choice. Martin is a historian who earned her doctorate at the University of New Mexico in May 2022. Her research probes interracial marriage\, gender\, race and power in the Mvskoke Nation in the Indian Territory from 1870-1897. She earned her bachelor's and master's degrees in history at Western Michigan University. After graduating\, Martin embarked on a nearly 20-year career in academic and public history. For nine years\, she taught full-time and part-time at the two-year and four-year college levels in Kansas and Oklahoma. She also worked in the television and film industry for nearly 10 years as a researcher\, scriptwriter and field producer. She has contributed to projects that aired on PBS\, A&E\, History Channel\, Investigation Discovery and at National Park Service units in Kansas\, Missouri and Arkansas. For several years\, Martin worked as a museum director\, and she has served on numerous museum boards and has provided consulting services for small museums in Kansas and Oklahoma. Martin has also lectured on various historical topics across the country for museums\, state and national historic sites\, and educational institutions. \nThe presentation is included with paid admission. After the program\, visitors are encouraged to tour the center's exhibits\, view the 3D The Battle of Honey Springs film\, buy newly stocked items from the gift shop and tour the largest Civil War battlefield in Oklahoma.
