Only history available
is John
J Germann's research on the cover of Bismark 1895 canceled postmark
shown above.
Bismark was suggested for inclusion by Donna Bolivar who wrote:
“My grandmother was born in Bismark, Wichita Co TX, now part of Iowa
Park. Her father (James H Parker) had a general store and was
Postmaster from 1890-1894. I was told they had a team of Clydesdale
that he used to get supplies.
They talked about Quanah
Parker and his five wives coming to the store, the first wife
had more money to spend and the newest wife the least. They also joked
about having the the same last name.
My greatgrandmother (Janie Bowering) had her own set of pistols and
was quite a horsewoman.” - Donna Boliver, July 28, 2014 |
