Talk:Tom Mix

Place of birth
Conflicting research information on Tom Mix's birthplace. So citation here as Mix Run is not certain. Two seemingly reliable sources conflict: History.com cites birthplace as Driftwood PA An Oklahoma state University history page cites birthplace as Mix run PA Any suggestions / votes on how to handle the reference?

Mix was a "sheriff"?
Under early years:

“He was briefly sheriff of Dewey, Oklahoma.”

Is this accurate? Dewey is in Washington County and the county seat is Bartlesville. First of all, even if Dewey was the county seat at the time (was it?), the sheriff would not have been sheriff “of Dewey,” but would have had his office there as sheriff is a county office, its chief law enforcement officer. It is an elected position. Is it possible Mix had been a town marshal?HistoryBuff14 (talk) 14:28, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

"Tom came to Indian Territory soon after his marriage to Grace and for the next several years worked at quite a variety of jobs. He was a bartender in Guthrie, a laborer at the Dewey Portland Cement Plant, a drummer in the Territorial Calvary Band, a ranch hand on the 101 Ranch, a performer in the 101 Wild West Show and a night marshal in Dewey." https://www.tommixmuseum.com/about-tom

The Portland Cement Plant is no longer standing however, the jail he managed has been preserved. The Tom Mix Museum is located in Dewey Oklahoma where a theater room shows many of Mix's films. Birdman008 (talk) 21:31, 30 May 2019 (UTC)Birdman008

Just attempted my first edit. I tried to go back to correct spelling and notice my edit was apparently deleted. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance, Bootsm Bootsm (talk) 19:35, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
