 Friends of rural life and farm auctions across northeast Oklahoma will have a unique opportunity to witness the close of a long chapter this spring. On Thursday, May 14, 2026, Chupps Auction & Real Estate will host a retirement auction for Ed and Sherry Barstow at 10195 E. Rose Glen Blvd. in Claremore, Oklahoma. The sale begins at 9:01 a.m. and will be conducted live onsite with online bidding options available through chuppsauction.com, giving both local bidders and distant buyers a chance to participate.

This event is more than a typical farm auction. The Barstows are offering a broad spread of items that reflect decades of work, stewardship, and collecting. The lineup includes Polaris Razors, Mini Herefords, tractors, trailers, a work van, motorhome, mowers, fencing, cattle and livestock panels, shop tools, welders, heaters, and solar panels. For those interested in home and lifestyle goods, there will also be patio furniture, appliances, furniture and décor, office furnishings, wristwatches, knives, and a variety of DIY supplies. The ad emphasizes that this is “everything you need for DIY,” signaling strong appeal for small‑acreage owners, hobbyists, and serious hands‑on buyers alike.

The auction is scheduled to feature two rings running throughout the day, with early lots starting at 9:01 a.m. and additional lots beginning around 11:01 a.m. This format allows for a large volume of items to cross the block efficiently, and gives attendees the flexibility to focus on the categories that interest them most. Chupps encourages bidders to review details and updates on their website and social channels, particularly those who plan to bid online.

In the auctioneer’s note, the event is described as the culmination of a 40+ year collection belonging to a war hero, hinting at the personal history behind many of the items. That context, combined with the breadth of the offering, sets the tone for a special day in Claremore one that blends the excitement of bidding with respect for a family closing out a lifetime of work. For those who appreciate the character and stories that come with well‑used equipment and carefully gathered collections, the Barstow retirement auction with Chupps Auction & Real Estate promises to be a memorable stop on the spring auction calendar.

Former Argonia Baptist Church Property Heads to Auction in May

A unique opportunity to acquire a historic church building and contents will be available when Theurer Auction & Realty conducts two separate online auctions for the former Argonia Baptist Church property on Tuesday, May 12, 2026.

Building and Real Estate Auction

The real estate portion begins at 11:00 AM and features the former Argonia Baptist Church building located at 201 W Garfield in Argonia, Kansas. The property includes a substantial 4,230 square foot building with a large sanctuary, small office, and restrooms on the main level, plus a full basement.

The basement offers significant additional space with a concrete floor, a large newly remodeled kitchen, and two restrooms. The property sits on an impressive large corner lot measuring 150x100 feet, with an additional vacant adjacent lot measuring 92x140 feet included in the sale.

Multi-Use Potential

The listing emphasizes the building's versatility as a multi-use structure, making it suitable for various purposes beyond its original church function. With its combination of main level and basement spaces totaling over 4,200 square feet, the property could serve community organizations, businesses, or be converted for other commercial or residential uses.

Contents Auction

Later the same day at 1:00 PM, a separate online auction will offer the church's contents. Items up for bid include appliances, furniture, a piano, organs, dishes, and pans—all formerly belonging to the Argonia Baptist Church.

Bidding Information

Both auctions will be conducted online only through Theurer Auction & Realty. Interested bidders can find additional information and register to bid at Theurer.net or by calling 620-326-7315. The auction company is located at 1101 East 16th Street in Wellington, Kansas 67152.

The dual auction format allows buyers to bid on the real estate separately from the contents, providing flexibility for those interested in the property alone or collectors seeking church furnishings and equipment.
