Subject: looking for a railroad
bridge
I have a photo of my great grandfather and his family which was taken
from their home looking across the guadalupe river. Their home was next to the
railroad track as he worked for the railroad and the bridge is very prominant
in the picture. I don't know if it was the central pacific or southern pacific
but it is probably one of the two. Do you have any information where this crossing
might be, and if the bridge and or house might still be there. I can go look as
I live in New Braunfels.His name was Jehu Sumrall. Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks, Mike J

Subject: Mobeetie
Hi, I just finished
reading the piece on Mobeetie and wanted to comment on the translation of the
name. While I was living in Borger, I was told by numerous panhandle citizens
that the Indians decided to play a joke on the white settlers and the word the
settlers thought was "sweet water" was really buffalo piss. I noticed that you
didn't mention that translation in your suggestions! :-) - G. Thomas

The Kyle Hotel in
Temple, Texas, might be good for one of your featured
pre-1950's hotels. It is no longer being used as was for sale for many
years...hopefully it will not be torn down, as it is great architecture. - K

Thank you so much for writing me back! I really
enjoyed finding your website and that you want to keep the history of Texas
alive....it took living out here in Southern California since the summer of
1986 for me to appreciate my Texas roots, and I will be moving back--hopefully
within the year. My mom still lives in Temple (she's 76) and she was there when
the Kyle was in business as a hotel. I look forward to that article on the Kyle
Hotel, as well as the Arcadia Theater. Thanks, again! - K

I found your site, which is great. I am looking for History
of Justine Texas. Any thing on Justine, Texas! Odd coincidence. I named
my youngest daughter Justine, knowing it was an old southern name. Recently, I
have done some family research and learned that my Great Grandparents moved to
Justine Texas in the early 1920's from New Mexico. ...... Thanks, Native Texan,

The info on Muldoon is great! Shroyer Construction has just started construction
on a house which will use the "Muldoon blue" stone for its exterior & we are excited
about it. Your website is wonderful. - Helen Hays Thursday,

Found your site. Excited. That was until I could not find my little hometown
of Madisonville. Just 28 miles north of Huntsville, 36 miles west of Bryan
via North Zulch, 10 miles east of Midway, and about 8 from Cross Roads. Now, Madisonville
is larger than Burton and may be as historical. I know one claim of faime is the
Madisonville Sidewalk Cattlemen's Association, which punishes those whose style
of clothing represents (or misrepresents) their social standing and state of cattle
ownership. Hollywood stars Dana Andrews and Steve Forest (brothers) once attended
school there while their father was pastor of the local Methodist Church. Keep
up your good work -- the grand ole' State of Texas cannot be tub-thumped enough
in my opinion. Thank you. - Novosad

Texas
I enjoyed your article immensely. Can you point me to any other
information about Lobo? Is it still for sale, and who owns it today? I'm actually
interested in buying it if it's available. I've always wanted my own town. ;)
Thanks, - Larry T, Charlotte, NC
