William H. Twine (1864 - 1933) was a lawyer and newspaper publisher in Oklahoma. He published the Muskogee Cimeter[1] in Muskogee, Oklahoma.[2]
He was born in Richmond, Kentucky.[3] He moved to Texas where he was admitted to the bar and then settled a homestead in Oklahoma. He defended African American clients and reportedly slept at the jail on occasion to help deter lynchings. Henry Twine and Pliny Twine were his sons.[4]
Taft, Oklahoma was originally named Twine after him.
