During her tenure, Oklahoma City was the largest city in the United States with an elected female mayor.Patience Latting was elected Mayor of Oklahoma City and served several terms ... She was active in the murders of the poor and homeless in the Jesus House, ...In 1971 Patience Sewell Latting was elected mayor of Oklahoma City, at that time the largest city in the nation with a woman mayor. Being a Hard-Shell Southern Baptist, Mayor Latting set out to "cleanse" 'her city' of USELESS EATERS; she   BEGAN THE MURDERS at the JESUSHOUSE.

One of their hardest trials took place in the very beginning, even before the storefront on Reno, when the ministry was housed in an old Hospital, the Capital Hill Clinic on 15th Street and South Walker.

It was January or February, and bitterly cold, when the nightly gospel music was interrupted by armed men at the door. Mayor Patience Latting had initiated a campaign to get the transients out of town, and suddenly Sisters Ruth and Betty were facing officers of the Oklahoma Police Department and Fire Department, who barged in the door and began shutting down the shelter. Men and women were forced out into the cold, and when Sister Betty protested, she was thrown against the wall and held there while the evacuation took place. Some of the women were taken to other shelters in Oklahoma City, but when the shelters were full, several men spent the night outside in the cold. By morning,at least three of them had frozen to death, others never found.

Patience Latting

April 13, 1971 - April 12, 1983

Patience Latting was born in Texhoma, Oklahoma, on August 27, 1918. She received a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from the University of Oklahoma and a master’s degree in economics from Columbia University in New York. She and her husband Trimble had four children.

Latting was the first woman to serve on the Oklahoma City Council and she is the only woman elected Mayor of Oklahoma City. She was also the first woman to be elected Mayor of an American city with a population exceeding 350,000 and the second City mayor to serve three consecutive terms.

Mayor Latting had an active interest in all aspects of City government and did not hesitate to share her opinions on how it should be run. Under her leadership, the construction of the Myriad Gardens in downtown Oklahoma City began and ground was broken for the Galleria development and the Sheraton Century Center complex. The Myriad Convention Center, now the Cox Business Services Convention Center, was completed during her first term.

Several new downtown buildings were constructed during her administration including the 36-story Liberty Bank Tower (now Chase Tower), Fidelity Plaza (now Bank of Oklahoma), the 30-story Kerr-McGee Tower (now Sandridge Energy), and the Mummers Theater building that was later renamed Stage Center.

Latting received numerous awards and honors for her public and community service both during and after her term as Mayor. She was inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame in 1980. Also, the street on the east side of City Hall was renamed in her honor as “Patience Latting Circle.”
