Ernest Preston Slade was born on July 31, 1872 in Young County, Texas, on his father's ranch.3 He was the son of John Taylor Slade and Lurinda Plank. The eldest of seven children, he was called "Pete" by family and friends, although he always signed correspondence and documents by using just his initials, "E.P." Slade. Pete grew up on horseback working on his father's ranch. When he was 15, he left home to go on cattle drives into Oklahoma Territory, Kansas, Colorado and Wyoming. When he returned home, he and his father had an argument and they never spoke again.1
*****Ernest married Dallie Mae Wilkinson, daughter of Stephen A Wilkinson and Amanda E. Donaldson, on December 20, 1896 in Boyd, Wise County, Texas.4 They lived in Boyd, Texas where their children were born. About 1906, Pete drove a herd of cattle to pasture near Minco, Grady County, then Indian Territory. The family followed him to Minco, and later to the Waldon Ranch, East of Tuttle, where Pete was Ranch Manager. Pete and Dallie separated during the 1920s and possibly divorced, although a record has not been found.
*****Ernest married second Sissie Belle Battiest, daughter of Ben Battiest and Kissy James, a marriage record has never been found, so this may have been a "common law" marriage.5 Ernest died on May 24, 1961 in Hugo, Choctaw County, Oklahoma, at age 88.6 He was buried in Restland Cemetery, Boswell, Choctaw County, Oklahoma.6
