Delia McSpadden was the Great-Grandmother of the Marty Tipton,
the Oklahoma Kid. She told stories of the Wild West and her
relationship to Will Rogers. Delia called Will, Willy. Delias grandest
moment with Will was at the dedication of the Pioneer Woman
Statue, in Ponca City Oklahoma. Will was the key speaker that day
and when he arrived he called out to Delia, saying come on over so
we can talk a while cousin. They attended the picnic together chatting
about Wills adventures. Over the years Will toured world telling of his
adventures. Delia loved it when Will came town. He usually only
stayed for part of a day because he was so busy with his work. He
visited frequently over the years until his death. Delias heart was
broken when Will died along with the rest of the world. She keep
every letters he wrote in her dresser next to her bed until her death in
the early 1900s. Delia told stories of riding from Tulsa are in a wagon
to marry Dale Tipton. Delia was in her 90s when Kid was about 6.

Oklahoma Kid Story
More than over lOO years of family history has prepared
the Oklahoma Kid for his career in entertainment.

Kid's father, grandfather and great-grandfather worked in
the Wild West Show business, with names like Pawnee Bill,
Buffalo Bill and Geronimo.  The Kid grew up in Ponca City,
home of the historic 101 Ranch. He's also has relative ties to
Will Rogers in his Grandmother Delia McSpadden generation.
Performance genes, a witty outlook and care for his fellow
man have trickled down through the generations,
and the Kid is having a ball continuing his family's legacy.

Like Will Rogers,
the Kid uses an uplifting saying in his public performances:
"It's not always how fast you run or how high you climb;
it's how high you bounce."

Tipton has been roping in one form or another for over 30
years. He has been asked to perform in a wide variety of
venues around the world. Even George W. Bush proves to be
a fan. In 2009 he Invited Marty (Kid) and his family to attend
the 4th July celebration in Woodward Oklahoma.
He was riding a horse before he could walk and at 6 he was
in the rodeo arena. He later went on to be a professional
team roper and rough stock rider. He learned trick roping
from his father and grandfather, then went on to be
professionally trained at the 101 Ranch. Because he grew up
in the center of a wild west show legacy, he realized the
heritage was his to keep alive.
From his relatives, he heard first-hand stories about the likes
of Pawnee Bill, Buffalo Bill and Annie Oakley, and he was
always surrounded by original photographs of wild west
performers. He tells the story of Geronimo, who eventually
rode in the parade with the president and shot his last
buffalo from an automobile. According to the Kid, during
shows Geronimo would offer a thousand dollars to any man
who would offer to be scalped; of course no one
volunteered. Then there's the story of Annie Oakley, a trick
shooter who was the first woman to win a competition
against a man in a shooting contest. The Kid also recalls
stories of the 101 Ranch in Ponca City, once the largest ranch
in the United States, where he was raised.
Kid is working on a second book telling in depth the hidden
stories about the wild West and why it was called wild.
For many years Kid read books of others interpretation of
the turn of the century and he could not believe what they
said. Many of the stories were told to protect land and
reputations. Kid knows from the history passed on to him
that the west was actually even more wild than what was
published.
