Donie,
Texas 10-28-06
Dear TE, I just ran across your
[magazine] and enjoyed the page on Donie, Texas. I am in the process of gathering
material for the Freestone Genealogy Soc.'s county history book that will be published
next year. I have been searching for a picture of the Donie Chair Company which
you mention in your article. Does anyone by chance have a picture that they would
share with us? As important as it was to our area, I am surprised that I am unable
to find a picture of the factory when it was located in Donie.
[Attached
photo] This photo was taken from the railroad water tower looking west down
main street. It would have been taken about the mid 1940s as we didn't have electricity
until then. - Patsy Carter, October 2006
Shooting
of Rangers in San Augustine County
10-28-06
In July 1918, a squad of Texas Rangers was
sent to San Augustine county to round up deserters from the army. Two Rangers
went to the farm house of Samuel Williams to recover his son Sam Williams and
Daniel Evans. In a gun fight early in the morning, Ranger White was killed and
the other Ranger wounded. A massive manhunt pursued in the coming days lead by
twenty Rangers and more than a hundred volunteers from surrounding cities. The
two deserters were surrounded and turned themselves in after four days. The two
were taken to Camp Travis and tried in a military court. They were both found
guilty and sentenced to death. Their sentences were later commuted to life in
prison and eventually they were released from Fort Leavenworth in the Thirties,
I believe.
I have been researching this account and would like to know
if [anyone has] information on this case and the reasons surrounding the commuting
of sentence and release of the two men. In interviews with family members of the
young men I have unconfirmed tales of presidential pardons resulting from the
actions of the fallen Texas Ranger and his partner.
This is a very interesting
part of the history of San Augustine county and is a reflection of the attitude
toward the Great War among Southern families whom felt no connection with the
U.S. Government. Any information anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Fort
Hancock, Texas
10-28-06
Dear TE,
In looking for anything that someone may have written on Fort Hancock around 1885-95,
I ran across your [magazine]. I got so caught up in reading other peoples' adventures
with Texas/Oklahoma that I forgot what I was originally looking for. However,
with a little pricking of the old gray matter I was able to recall my original
purpose: Fort Hancock and to find information on land, weather conditions, and
any other events of interest that may have gone on in the early days ...(PRIOR
to 1895.)
My grandmother, born 1844 in Norway, ended up at Fort Stockton
as a lone woman with a 10 year old son in 1880. By 1885 she was moving to (Fort
Rice) Fort Hancock and homesteading a piece of ground there. I have all the land
descriptions but don't know how to locate the area short of traveling to Fort
Hancock and looking at land records. I have tried finding information in the library
but not really the kind I was looking for. If you or any of your readers can fill
me in on the early years of the Fort and why a lone woman would want to end up
there? Truly enjoy reading your articles and responses. - Bee Foutz, October

McCartney Hotel Limousine Rides to School
I went online to find a hotel
in Texarkana, as I am heading there Friday to celebrate my father's ninetieth
birthday. In my search results, I was amazed to find the McCartney hotel, which
led me to your site and the
amusing article accompanying the photos of this formerly beautiful building.
My mother worked at the McCartney Hotel for about seven years when I was a little
girl. This would have been something like 1960 to 1967. I spent lots of nights
(mother worked 11PM to 7AM) roaming the halls of the McCartney and sleeping in
the rooms. It was truly a beautiful, glorious place. I especially remember the
ballroom. I think it was on the second floor; the walls were mirrored and there
was a fabulous chandelier.
The men who worked as bellhops would take me
across the street to the coffee shop, and sometimes one of them would drive me
to school in the hotel's limousine. Mr. McCartney loved my mother and was good
to my family. Well, of course I could go on, but I'll just say thank you for the
photos. It's very sad to see the state of disrepair. This has brought back many
happy memories for me. Although I'm an Arkansan, I have lived and worked in Texas
at various times in my life and have great fondness for all things Texan. I'll
remember to check out your [magazine] often. Thanks for the memories. - Robin

Bend,
Texas 10-22-06
Subject: Dr. Doss and Harland
Moore
Dear Editor: I am a physician practicing at _____. I am a family
practitioner by training. Several years ago, when I was nearing a burn-out point
in my career, I took my family for a camping holiday in Texas. One of the places
we camped was at Colorado Bend State Park, and we had a wonderful time.
We went to the small country store outside the entrance to the park in Bend, and
I noticed a monument across the road. I went over to take a look.
As
I read the inscription, I started to get a lump in my throat. And then I shed
a few tears. The monument was erected in the memory of Dr. Edward Doss, a pioneer
physician. The monument has a photograph of Dr. Doss and his horse, gives a brief
description of his life, and has a poetic quote at the end: "No night too dark
or road too long to serve his fellow man".
But what really got me, and
still sends chills down my spine, is that the final line reads:
"Erected
by those who loved him - July 1965" (This was for a man that died in 1928!!)
Discovering this, completely by surprise, was, and still is, an emotional
experience for me.
Finding this monument forced me to rethink my place
in the world, why I went into medicine, and who I truly am, way deep down. It
made me re-evaluate the true meaning of success. A year or so later, I returned
to that monument, just to think things over, again, to try remind myself about
that part of Dr. Doss that is in me, buried beneath the myriad complications of
modern medicine.....
Through the marvels of the internet, I found texasescapes.com,
and some writings by Mr. Harland Moore, who is a descendent of Dr. Doss..... I
thought that Mr. Moore might enjoy hearing about this. - Sincerely, __________,

Bell County Sunshine Road
correction 10-22-06
Dear TE: I was reading the
"Bell County Sunshine Road " entry on your website and need to point out a mistake.
The steel truss bridge shown is over the Little River, not "George
Branch." The bridge was open until a flood washed out the approaches in 1992,
and it remained closed until a new bridge was built a couple of years ago. This
bridge is severed from both banks, so there is no way to access it. I thought
I would bring this to your attention. - Sincerely, Austin Hellwig, October

Subject: Barber Family
Dear TE,
My name is Robert Barber of San Antonio, TX. I have many family members buried
in Tivoli cemetery, an aunt whom still resides there, and an uncle in Austwell,
TX. Also, we have a road named after us on the outskirts of town where my great
uncle had his ranch which is still in his daughters possession. My question to
you is what history do you have on my family with regards to Tivoli? I know from
listening to older family members about how much my ancestors had to do with the
founding of the town and operations of daily business and the cattle industry.
Any info would be dearly appreciated. My father is Amos R. Barber (b.1942, Refugio,
TX), his uncle was Dick Barber (b.1899-1987?). Thank You. Robert F. Barber,

Make that Three (3) Jeff Davis Counties 10-19-06
Dear TE , I was reading about Fort
Davis and C. F. Eckhardt
said that Texas is the only state in the country with a county named after the
Confederate president. However, I found that Georgia has a Jeff Davis County also,
and Mississippi has a Jefferson Davis County. I'm afraid he is mistaken. Regards,

Eliasville
Families of 1883 and what is a battling block?"
Dear TE, I am reading
a diary of an ancestor of the Gordon Family that lived in Eliasville, Tx in the
year 1883. The family of George Washington Gordon. The story is written by Laura
Gordon Coker. The property was located on the Clear Fork of the Brazos River.
Gage Creek ran diagonally across the farm. She said they went to Gage Creek School
and Mr Ludwick was the teacher. Laura said the desks were just benches which had
legs that stood out like legs on a battling block. "What is a battling block?"
She said the names of the school children she went to school with were, Wiley
Jones family, the Bill Donalds, Tom Donalds, the Daws, the Stewarts the Ed Davis
famly and the Delongs and Longs. Are there any of these family's still there?
I would gladly share this diary of hers for more information and would love to
visit Eliasville to get a feel of the town and any areas that might have been.
Thank you, Cheryl Spradlin, October 18, 2006
Knickerbocker,
Texas 10-19-06
Dear TE, You are wrong in claiming the village of Knickerbocker a “Ghost Town”.
Yes we have lost much of our business and population over the years but we are
still a community that takes great pride in our little village. About 50 people
live in Knickerbocker. We have a Community Center that is used quite frequently
by the local citizens and it also has the Post office in it. It is beautifully
landscaped in front with native plants. Soon we will have the start of a pavilion
in the back of the center. We have two churches and two cemeteries. Come to think
about it we may have Ghosts in Knickerbocker but they are only in the cemeteries!
So could you please change the title you have given Knickerbocker. We are not
a Ghost Town. If you need any other information or pictures I would be happy to
provide. Thank you, Drew Sykes, Sec/Tres. Knickerbocker Community Center/ Knickerbocker

Medicine
Mound, Texas
10-16-06
I am now 62 years
old and have fond memories of this now, ghost town. I lived with my grandparents
in a very small house, there. Their driveway (dirt and gravel) ran beside the
Baptist church. My grandmother made us clean up, if the lights came on at the
church and off we would go to praise God ( and see our friends). My grandfather
worked at the only service station in town and drove the gas truck home at night.
I have fond memories of walking to see my grandfather at the station. He would
always buy my brother and I a 5 cent coke in a glass bottle and a 3 - 5 cent candy
bar. We loved to watch him fix flat tires in the back room. He would use a patch
on the inner tube and would light it to seal the patch to the tube. We sometime
got to go to what we called Punkin City to pick up gas for the station in the
gas truck with him. We loved this as we sometimes got to eat at a cafe, which
was a real treat.
My brother and I went to school in Medicine Mounds until
they closed it. Then, we rode the bus to Quanah and back every day. The school
at the Mounds had two teachers. Mrs Matthews taught the younger kids and the principal
taught the older group. I think we only had six grades, I am not sure about that.
I do remember the school as the most fun place. There was a wooden floor gym and
you would enter the bleacher area on one floor and look down at the gym floor
in like a basement area. I remember going to the gym after hours to be with my
uncle to watch him practice basketball with his friends. While he was practicing,
my brother and I loved to hang over the balcony and drop to the floor below. We
thought this was very daring.
When I was young I remember hearing the
foxhunts at night from our yard. I think my grandmother said they were at the
King ranch. I also remember friends who told me of finding arrowheads on the mounds.
My grandmother would never let me go there.
The last time I went to the
Mounds as we all called the town, everything was all closed up. The school was
still there looking very rundown. The station brought back so many memories, it
is hard not to cry, even as I write this. - Nancy Sue Ashmore, October 16,

Weird Texas Laws
10-16-06
Subject:
Shooting Indians from Congress Avenue Streetcars
You might inform Peary Perry that it hasn't been illegal in Texas to carry wirecutters
off your own property since 1973, when the Texas Penal Code was totally re-written--by
Carole Keeton Strayhorn's dad, Paige Keeton, the dean of UT-Austin's law school.
As a measure of Keeton 'conservatism,' bear in mind that he wrote into our new
Penal Code what amounts to a burglar's license. If you surprise a burglar in your
home in the act of stealing your property--& the burglar drops the loot & runs
away--you cannot use deadly force to stop him, even if you don't kill him. If
you can't stop him without shooting him, you have to let him get away so he can
rob someone else and --most likely--move up to more serious crimes.
Yes,
I can call her Carole. I went to high school with her--she was very active in
the Young Democrats in high school & college. As a matter of fact Brien Varnado,
who was my best man when Vicki & I got married, was her first 'car date.'
If Mr. Perry needs a weird Texas law, let him have this one. At one time Austin
had--and may still have on the books--a city ordnance prohibiting the shooting
of Indians from streetcars on Congress Avenue. There was no mention of it being
illegal to shoot Indians from streetcars on any other Austin street--just Congress
Avenue. - Charley Eckhardt, Seguin, Texas, October 14, 2006

Zephyr's 1909 Tornado
My great-grandparents, Annie Ola Gibbs Cloys and Millard Fillmore Cloys were in
the 1909 cyclone that hit Zephyr. As a child, my grandmother (their daughter)
had told me the story of how her father had come home from a town meeting, and
as he sat down to take off his shoes, the cyclone hit. The baby, Gibbs Cloys,
age 2, was killed in the cyclone, and is buried in Zephyr Cemetery. My great-grandfather
was seriously injured, and the family left there and came to Trinity where they
had family, and where I now live. He died a few days after they got here, and
is buried with the rest of our family here in Trinity. After I became an adult,
my husband and I went to Zephyr, and I took pictures and did a rubbing on Gibbs
Cloys' gravestone. It made the story real that my grandmother had told me so long
ago. I would like to visit Zephyr again and learn more about its history. - Kaye

Kermit Sandhills park
is no more 10-13-06
Dear TE, I just wanted to say
that the Sandhills Park that used to be 10 miles outside of Kermit is not there
anymore. The land [has been] divided up among private owners. It was being overused
by people taking dune buggies, 4-wheelers, and dirt bikes out there who were not
cleaning up their trash. I think it was the county that decided to shut the park
down and put the land up for sale rather than try to limit the usage of offroad
vehicles. I have heard that one of the property owners is trying to construct
another parking lot on his land and will charge a small fee for people wanting
to park and ride out there.
Good news... you can still see the miniature oak
trees when driving either between Kermit and Andrews or Kermit and Odessa. -

Eskota,
Texas Ghost Town
10-13-06
Dear TE, The last business in Eskota was the
general store, owned by my grandfather, C.B. Johnston. It was closed 1967 upon
his death, and the contents were auctioned that summer. The post office closed
in 1954. The only commerical buildings left standing are the old store and the
old bank building. The hotel burned down in 1919, and the church was torn down
in the 80's as it was unsound. The Eskota school was torn down in the late 40's
after the war, and the bricks used to build the high school in Sweetwater. There
are 4 houses remaining from Eskota's heyday still standing and in use.
Eskota Homecoming is held annually on the 1st Sunday in October at the site of

Naming
of Iraan, Texas 10-13-06
Dear
TE, Regarding Iraan, Texas and the "History in a Pecan Shell": My father, Jo Hardgrave,
told my brother and sister, that his mother named the town of Iraan by submitting
the combining of the names Ira and Ann Yates and that she won a downtown plot
of land that she sold for $1,000.00. According to the first paragrah, this is
true. I'm just wondering if you have record of the name of the person winning
the contest. My grandmother's name was Mary Louise (Lewis) Hardgrave. If you have
any information regarding this I would appreciate it. Thank you, Carol Bennett,

A forgotten ghost town of Texas
10-6-06
Dear TE, I have just recently found your [magazine]
and I love it. I have kept it in my list of favorites, and will be visiting often.
One fact I didn't find was a ghost town named Cuthbert. My grandfather
bought the property in the late 70's and found oil, ranched a little, but mostly
farmed on it. There is an old cemetery there that my aunt tries to upkeep, but
will be in ruins soon. Cuthbert was a rural community, near the Abrams No. 1 oil
well, that started the oil boom in that time. Finally in the 40's and 50's the
new highways being built bypassed Cuthbert and she dwindled all together. A few
buildings are left and a community cemetery, not the same one that is on our property
(only a few markers remain), lots of oil wells and farm land and friends.... Thank
You. - Leo del Real, September 27, 2006
Bono,
Texas 10-4-06
Dear TE ... I have a strong family tie to Bono. My great-grandfather,
Benjamin H. Williamson, was one of the "founding fathers" of Bono. He donated
20 acres along with another 20 acres that was donated by Calvin L. Jones, in order
to found Bono. My grandfather, Collin J. Williamson, was raised in Bono. I remember
being told stories about when he and my great-grandfather would go to town (Cleburne)
and take their cotton to market. My grandmother had a picture of my grandfather
(Collin) and my great-grandfather in a wagon full of cotton, sitting in front
of the Cleburne Courthouse. My grandparents, Collin & Cora (Homan) Williamson
lived in Bono and raised their 4 children (my mother being one of them). If I
remember correctly, they moved to Cleburne in the late 1950's or early 1960's.
I remember when I was a kid, we would go to Cleburne to visit and we would always
drive out to Bono and look at the "old homestead" where my mother grew up. Today,
the house is gone, but I can still find where the house used to be. My maternal
great-grandparents are buried in the Bono cemetery (Edward & Ollie Homan) as well.
Stumbling upon your site has enabled me to remember some of the stories I
remember being told when I was a kid. I have even taken my son out to Bono and
told him the history behind Bono and why it is important to our family. Thank
you for my "much needed" escape! - Sincerely, Debbie Miracle, October 03, 2006
Orla,
Texas 10-3-06
I lived in two of the Pasotex Pipeline Oil camps near Orla, Texas from birth to
age 6. The first camp was referred to as the Guadalupe camp and the other we called
the Orla camp. The camp houses were extremely well built having screened in porches
and hardwood floors. Our yards were outlined by pitted flat rocks. Gentle rolling
hills once covered by an ocean surrounded the camps. Guadalupe Peak could be seen
in the distance, more visible in the evenings.
Some of the families in
our community included Jim and Esther Powers, Lucky and Pauline Cooley (children:
Monte, Tishe, & 2 more sisters), the Dennis family (children: Mike and Jalrea),
Bill and Doty Price (children: Butch and Priscilla), and my parents, Charlie and
Mildred Phillips (children: Sandy & the twins, Chuck & Wally). There were many
more, but I was too young to remember. Many of these individuals are no longer
with us. We lost Monte Cooley to Vietnam around 1967. He was such a treasure...I've
often wondered where he would be today had that not happened. We used to play
marbles together in the sand and rocks.
There was a little Baptist church
in Orla just off the Jal highway that we attended whenever a preacher was available.
My mother played the piano there. A recent visit found the roof leaking, the double
entry doors standing ajar, old scripture material scattered about, and a fox living
in the back.
As of September 2006, there is a little grocery store sitting
back of the historical marker off Hwy 285 that is currently open and operated
by Bessie Mitchell. I admire her spirit and keeping the flame for travelers in
need. Oil derricks outlined in lights stand like Christmas trees across the desert
from Orla to Kermit.
A controlled burn is being conducted along the nearby
Pecos River as a pilot project to clear the salt cedar. The rationale, I am told,
is to prevent water uptake by the cedar and the clogging of the river by the trees/plants.
The last burn was five years ago.
Although located in a remote, isolated
part of Texas, the area is rich in history. This land near the Pecos River was
traveled by American Indians (later tribes being Apaches and Comanches), Spanish
explorers, and gold-seekers bound for California. On March 8, 1854 during a survey
expedition in search of the best railroad route to the Pacific, Captain John Pope
forded the Pecos River at the least threatening point. It is situated on the Loving-Reeves
county line one mile south of the Texas-New Mexico boundary. The crossing, which
was eighty feet wide and 2 ˝ feet deep (Kermit, 1984), became known as Pope’s
Crossing. Stages traveling the Butterfield Overland Mail route used this passage.
Later in 1936 when Red Bluff Dam and Reservoir was created on the southern edge
of New Mexico and five miles north of Orla, Texas, the crossing was inundated.
Another piece of history linked to the area was the Goodnight-Loving cattle trail
which extended across the region near the Pecos River.
Orla sunsets and
sunrises are beautiful. Together with my memories of the desert smell of greasewood
and dust, I return periodically for balance and harmony. - Sandy Phillips Countryman.

The following is a rather interesting story as told through an exchange of email

Within, no one eats worms to win a house and there are no photos of celebrity
babies. There's no DNA to examine, no bodies to exhume - and it didn't involve
satellite imagery. What makes it rare is that it is a story of people helping
people - cutting through red tape and dismissing state boundaries.
