Kent Smith will present “The Founding of McCune” at 2 p.m. Sunday at Miners Hall Museum. Smith, of Tulsa, Oklahoma, has remained involved with the McCune Osage Township Library and regularly participates in community events. His great-great-grandfather, Sevier Wilson, emigrated in 1892 and opened one of the first general stores in McCune, while another relative operated one of the first clothing stores in the town.
