  • Temple Texas 8-6-08
    In the section about the cellar bookstore...... The name of that bookstore is "The Book Cellar" My kids think it's a real treat to go there! I enjoy your website! - Paula Jones, August 06, 2008

  • Noodle, Texas 8-4-08
    I was actually raised in Noodle and went to school there as were my brothers. I was married in the Noodle Church of Christ and actually lived in the house next door on the south side of the church. The house was purchased by Mr. & Mrs. Tony and was torn down.

    We were taught in school that the word Noodle came from an Indian scout that was in search of water and he came across the creek just north of Noodle and it was dry. In his language noodle meant dry. - Melissa Nichols Beasley, Wichita Falls, Texas, August 04, 2008

  • Falfurrias, Texas 7-31-08
    I graduated from Fal Hi in May of 1952, and that's me leading the Marching Band. I was Drum Major for the school years 1950-51 and 1951-52.

    The FIRST movie theater, called the "Cactus", was on Main St. near the Creamery. After the Pioneer was built it was kept open for awhile, showing only the B-rated "oaters", while the "new" Pioneer Theater showed the "latest" shows. It was closed after a relatively short time. I don't know what happened to the building it was in. Then, the Alameda was opened across Hwy.281, and, as your site shows, it is no longer in operation. Thanks! - Carleen Frazier, July 31, 2008


  • La Porte, Texas 7-17-08
    I really appreciate your website, it's very interesting and fun to read. One small correction about your La Porte, TX section is that the Washburn Tunnel connects Pasadena with the East End of Houston (near Channelview) via Federal Rd. The Baytown Tunnel (I don't think it was ever named after anyone or anything) connected Baytown with La Porte via 225/146 (where the Fred Hartmann bridge is located now). I lived in La Porte for about 10 years and my Dad grew up there. If you get a chance, drive down Main St. in La Porte to see a lot of the great old buildings in town. The old theater is a church now that my Dad used to go to when he was a kid in the late '50s. El Ranchero restaurant is some of the best Tex-Mex you can have on the Gulf Coast. Thanks, Tim Holmes, Jr., Houston, Texas, July 17, 2008


  • Subject: Woman Hollering Creek 7-8-08
    The Myth Is: A Women drowned her children and she was crying because she killed them. I've heard that you can hear her calling their names and weeping, I guess you'd say. The Indian Myth Is Not True. - Crystal Martin, July 08, 2008

  • Orla, Texas 6-26-08
    Subject: Orla Baptist Mission
    James Hughes was pastor of this church in 1953 – pic is of James, Sallie & Janet Hughes. We would drive out from Pecos on Sunday morning, and quite often were invited to someone’s home for lunch and the afternoon instead of driving back to Pecos and back out for the evening service. We were there when Hall Olds had the only service station and café. We now live in Conroe, TX and I retired from Alsay Inc (industrial water well drilling co) after 20 plus years as comptroller there. I was born and raised in Pecos – graduating from Pecos Hi in 1949. - Sallie Hughes, September 12, 2007

  • Subject: Gallery of Forgotten Bridges 6-19-08
    What great photos!! I was doing some research on an old bridge in Ballinger and happened upon your site. There is one bridge you identify in your Forgotten Gallery as the Concho River bridge – I believe it is also known as the Lone Wolf Bridge. Keep up the great work – very interesting and educational! - Kathy Keane, San Angelo, June 18, 2008

  • Terrell County Courthouse and Eagle 6-14-08
    The picture of the original Terrell County, Texas, courthouse showing the eagle atop the parapet and another picture showing an eagle atop a rock and claiming to be the "recovered original eagle" referred to above is totally inaccurate. Measuring the width of the wingspan of the eagle atop the parapet of the original courthouse compared to the width of the courthouse, then measuring the width of the wingspan atop the rock in front of the courthouse that claims to be the "recovered eagle" shows the inaccuracy of the statement and fact that a lot of money was wasted to purchase a much smaller eagle and a lot of truth was wasted in claiming that it was the "recovered original eagle". Do the measurements yourself! - J.A. Gilbreath, June 10, 2008

  • Soash, Texas 6-10-08
    There are still Soash people there my parents Howard and Pearl Armstrong. My dad, went to Soash elementary school there and to this day my parents still live in eastern Soash community. They are not the only ones that live there. Mammie Merrick lives across the street from the old bank building. She and her deceased husband Bob Merrick, I believe lived there almost their entire married life together. Bob passed away earlier this year, but Mammie still lives there with one of their 8 children. All the rest has died or have moved away like I have done in years past. But the Armstrongs and the Merricks will live there until they die. Believe me I have tried to get my parents to move closer to Big Spring, but they are not leaving Soash, Texas. Thanks. - Diann Owens, June 10, 2008


  • Subject: Earl Ables article 5-28-08
    Thanks for the memories. I was stationed at Lackland in 1957 and 1958 and sort of adopted by Dr Passmore and his family who were members of First Presbyterian Church and who lived in Alamo Heights. Earl Able's, which was not far from where they lived, became a hangout for his kids and I. The restaurant and signs were already there then and were not new. I would estimate that they had been around from as early as 1950, although probably changed from time to time. One I remember was over the door as you left. It said:
    I EAT HERE TOO!
    EARL ABLE

    The food was great, but what I liked most was the welcoming atmosphere. It reminded me of home and of Jack Trayer's on Moore Street in Bristol, Virginia/Tennessee, where I grew up. Everybody's hometown should have such a place. - John McDaniel, April 17, 2008

  • Subject: Hanging tree in Shelby County 5-28-08
    The article written about the hanging tree in Shelby County says that the County sheriff and City Marshall were Charlie B. Christian and Bryan McCallum. Charlie B. Christian, my father, was born in 1921. He was the sheriff in the 50's and 60's and deputy sheriff in the late 40's. - May 26, 2008


  • Subject: Hatching Green headed Mallards 5-26-08
    Ed, Interestingly, I was searching the web for information on hatching mallard eggs and your short story popped up as priority under my search parameters. My folks had a Mallard hen nesting at their front door. After laying 14 eggs, the neighborhood cats sniffed her out and she ultimately abandoned her brood. I called a buddy you had hatched chickens in the past and borrowed his incubator. Results and still unknown as I am just two weeks in. I got such a kick out of your story that I printed it for my dad to read. Your father's reaction was so typical of what my father would have done if faced with the same scenario. I love your writing style. Great job! And please continue... Sincerely, Drew G. Mullert, New Bedford, MA, May 22, 2008


  • Atascosa County Courthouse 5-7-08
    I was pleased to find your page with several renderings of the Atascosa County court house, past and present. I was rather amused at the "legend" you repeated about moving the court house from Pleasanton to Jourdanton. Actually, only the records were moved (stolen, as I heard it ) and the old court house in Pleasanton was still in its place when I was a child, serving as the Pleasanton City Hall. By the time it was demolished to make way for the widening of US 281 through town in the mid 1950's, the upper floor had been condemned, as I recall, but the city offices were still housed there. The present city hall stands on what is left of the old grounds of the Pleasanton Court House.

    That "legend" may be a version of a story a gentleman told on himself . When he first came to Atascosa County, it was about the time that the county seat had been moved, and feelings were still very raw about that event. It so happened that at least two other county seats were being moved about the same time, and this hapless gentleman suggested to a group of Pleasanton citizens at a "friendly" gabfest that perhaps they should just put all the courthouses on railroad cars and roll them around that way until they decided for sure where they should go. He said that he hardly got the words out of his mouth before every man within hearing of him had drawn their pistols on him. Only after the most abject and profuse apology was he able to convince those men to holster their weapons. He never made that mistake again. I happened to have read this story just today in a book published by the Atascosa History Committee in 1985. Thanks again for a good page. - Marcy Porter, May 06, 2008

  • Click, Texas 4-17-08
    Click, Texas was named for my great-great grandfather. I have an envelope that was kept by family members that has a Click, Texas postmark. There is quite a bit of history about the Click and Walker family that has been donated to the Llano, Texas city library. Many of the family members are buried in the Comanche West Cemetery just 'south' of the former town. The name of the cemetery is sometimes referred to as the Click and Walker cemetery. - Anna Galloway, Austin, Texas, April 17, 2008

  • Subject: Architect Thomas Lovell 4-17-08
    The ”Bunch” (sic) Miller noted in this story is Bluford West Miller. He was the son of Bluford Miller, a Cherokee rancher in the Creek Nation, and Lizzie Anderson, a Creek (Muskogee) tribal member. His ranch, the IX, was founded by his grandfather Rider Fields after the removal of the 5 Civilized Tribes to Indian Territory, and is located south of Tulsa, in present-day Okmulgee County, OK. It is still active today and run by his descendents... - Steven Miller, Austin, April 12, 2008

  • Texon, Texas 4-17-08
    I was born and raised in Texon. The old building pictured with the mailboxes in front was actually the Post Office for many years. It was owned by my parents and leased by the Postal Service. The front half of the building was the Post Office. My Mother, Bertha Delz, was the postmaster for many years and retired there. - Ronnie Delz, April 03, 2008

  • Donna, Texas
    Subject: Central Elementary School
    4-17-08
    It's a beautiful, old building. I was heartsick some years back when I heard it was to be torn down. Somehow it was rescued. The brick is gorgeous. I was a first grader there in 1949. It certainly was NOT intimidating. It's a lovely old building with some architectural design, instead of the square blah buildings seen nowadays. All of my siblings and lots of friends went to school there, too. I WAS very grateful, though, to see photograph by Mr. Taylor on your web site. I'm writing an article about my first grade experience in old CE. It was fun to see it again. We haven't lived in Donna for more than 25 years. Thanks, Linda Smith, April 09, 2008


  • Subject: Patriots by Mike Cox "Texas Tales" 3-27-08
    Mr. Cox omitted a famous veteran of the American Revolutionary War who came to Texas. It was "Elder" John Parker. John PARKER was a Revolutionary Soldier, Serial # S32435. He served in the 2nd and 13t h Regiment of the Continental Army of VA. He had a brother named Daniel and a sister named Susannah. After the war, John and Sarah White-Parker moved to Elbert Co., GA. Here John was made an Elder in the Primitive Baptist Church. He moved to Bedford Co., TN and lived there for about twelve y ears, and then moved his family to Crawford County, IL in 1814. It was here on the 28th day of July, 1821 that Sarah "SALLY" WHITE died. It was also here that JOHN remarried. He married SALLY PINSON-DUTY, the 21st of March 1825. He and his wife were killed at the Parker's Fort Massacre, in Robertson's Colony now Limestone County, on May 19, 1836.

    His application for a RS Pension was made while in ILL before he came to TX in 1833.

    His grand daughter is known in TX history - Cynthia Ann Parker mother to the famous last chief of Comanches - Quanah Parker.

    Thank you, Jim Yarbrough, 4th great grandson of Elder John Parker, March 27, 2008

  • Eskota, Texas 3-20-08
    I happened upon your website and I need to alert you of a necessary correction about the history of the town of Eskota. Eskota was named after Riley Trent, not Riley and Dan Trent. Riley Trent and Dan Trent were not siblings or partners; additionally, Dan Trent was of South Texas. This is confusing for some historians since Riley's son was named Daniel Irving Trent. T. Lindsay Baker was made aware of this error and has assured the descendants of Riley Trent that all future versions of More Ghost Towns of Texas will have the correct information regarding for whom the town of Trent was named.

    I can verify this information for you via notarized documents from the Daughters of the Republic of Texas Library, if you like. I am a member of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas with six lineal ancestors, as well as the great-great granddaughter of Riley Trent, for whom the town was named. My grandmother, Hazel Ellen Trent Nichols grew up in Eskota, where the family maintained their ranch and oil wells until the 1960s. I have researched my Trent ancestors in depth and I would be more than happy to assist you in regard to historical information about the Trents of Eskota. - Regards, Jennifer Nichols Hillary, March 19, 2008


  • Odds, Texas 3-13-08
    Subject: Odds Store

    My father Earl Hancock operated the Odds store from 1934-1943 and during that time there were two other stores. As a child I can remember wagon loads of cotton waiting to be ginned. There was a lot of activity around the gin in those days. The Great Depression brought hard times to the area. Also, I remember that a young man with his wife and young child came to our store one day after walking from Thornton, TX. He had been hurt while taking his family off a train in that town. They were very hungry and needed help. The young man asked my Dad if there was any work he could do to pay for a meal for his family. My Dad said "Go pick up that broom over there by the wall." The young man did as he was told. My dad then said, "Now put the broom down." The family was well fed and were bedded down in the cotton seed warehouse across the road from our store. While leaving the next morning the young man got my Dad's mailing address. Ten years later my Dad received a check from California with a note thanking him for the help. Thanks, Earl Hancock Jr., Woodway, Texas, March 13, 2008

    Subject: Re: Benjamin Harrison's son in Ira, Texas

    I love your site & read some of it every day. It's a great way to plan little road excursions around the state & I love to cemetery hunt. Reading about Ira was interesting, but my question is that if President Benjamin Harrison was born in 1833 & he wasn't married until 1853, how could he have had a son who was killed by the Indians in 1849? I would think that would be impossible. Are you sure that you don't mean President William Henry Harrison (our 9th President)? Thank you for your help in this matter & keep up the great work!!!

    Subject: Willie D. Garrison
    As a relative of the late Willie D. Garrison I feel obligated to notify you that an error exists in the article as it reads. The aforementioned Great Uncle of mine did indeed serve as listed, however, he [did not die in Vietnam as stated but] died at home in 1970 of leukemia. My Grandfather was Sgt. Charlie George Garrison, Willie D. Garrison's oldest brother. Willie D. Garrison's wife, Azel, my great aunt, is still living here in the Houston area and could be reached to verify such matters if need be. I thank you again for your article as a whole, as it details a number of relatives of mine and is encouraging to know that they are not forgotten for their places and submissions in history. - Sincerely, Kelley J.

  • Comal River 3-3-08
    Subject: The Meaning of "comal"
    First of all, thank you for your service! It has been very helpful.
    I would like to note that "comal" does not mean basin in Spanish. For starters, it is an indigenous word in origin accepted into the Spanish language because of its popular use. "Comal" is a slightly curved pan made of clay or metal on which tortillas are cooked and coffee/cocoa beans are toasted. The Spanish word for basin is "Cuenca". - Maritza Price, March 03, 2008

  • Jonesborough on the Red River 2-26-08

    You wrote a great story but, there is so much more you could and should say about Jonesborough.......

    Fort Towson, the second oldest Fort in Oklahoma, was strategicly located to help protect Jonesborough....along with protect the Indians... it is North of Jonesborough a short distance. It is fun going to Fort Towson, just west of the town of Fort Towson is a cemetery, you park your car in the cemetery, go over the wall with stairs provided into another GHOST TOWN.

    Fort Towson is located down the hill from the Indian Village. It is being excavated and there is a museum on site.

    Fort Towson and Jonesborough are one story, separated by a river, you can't talk about one without talking about the other...in my opinion. If one goes to Jonesborough, he should then go to Fort Towson. To understand the story.

    The people did not call that Texas back in those days...it was Arkansas to them. The Mexican's always said the Sabine was the boundary line.......for Texas.

    There was a Masonic Lodge located in Jonesborough, Sam Houston attended a Masonic Meeting there......check the records, should be located in the Masonic Lodge in Clarksville, Texas.......or the Grand Lodge at Waco, Texas.

    Bowman, a citizen of Jonesborough, hearing of the Alamo's need, saddled his horse, and rode to his destiny, 06 March 1836. The Historical Marker at Jonesborough, reads so.......

    If you take a tall ladder with you, you can stand on the ladder and see the Red River.......without getting up high, you do not even know there is a river there.

    Trammel's Trace actually runs from Fulton, Arkansas to Nacogdoches, but it Y's at the Sulphur River and follows an old trail to Jonesborough. It actually y's twice.

    On the highway going to Jonesborough is another Historical marker telling of the Indians living in the area.

    Subject: Chillicothe Irises in San Francisco
    Just wanted to say thank you for the info on Chillicothe; my father grew up there. The Methodist Church is where my grandmother and grandfather met, married, and were both eulogized upon their passing. When I bought my home in California, I obtained some Iris bulbs from my Father who took a handful when they sold the house there. That Iris Village is alive and well in San Francisco and my children think the violet ones are the most beautiful flowers they have ever seen (and they are).

We are winter Texans and enjoy the great state of Texas and your website has just made it a lot easier to decide where to make our stops. We are currently staying at Del Rio and exploring Lake Amistad, I love old westerns and was excited to see how close we were to Langtry.

  • Belle Plain, Texas 1-14-08
    Subject: Ancestors Graves in Belle Plain

    Dear TE, I ran across [your magazine] as I was googling Belle Plain, Texas and thought I would share a story about that ghost town.

    My great grandfather was born in Belle Plain in September of 1887 at the height of BP's success. His name was Burney Lafayette (Bun) Gist.

    Burney's grandfather/mother - my ggg-grandparents are buried in the Belle Plain cemetery. Both of their headstones are still standing to this day. Their names as engraved on the stones are: D.H. Gist (David Hamilton Gist d. 1894) and Pamela Gist d. 1893. They came to Belle Plain from Kentucky between 1870-1880. DH was a saddler and a farmer in Belle Plain and the kids and grandkids worked on farms there too as I understand it. DH and Pam Gist had many children that they also brought to BP including my gg-grandfather and Burney's father Nathaniel Lafayette Gist.

    After Belle Plain died, Nathaniel took his family including Burney (Belle Plain native) and moved to the Red River area mainly Vernon and Quanah. Burney's son, my grandfather was born in Vernon. His name was Burney Lafayette Gist Jr. or B.L. as he known by. Anyway, their are still many Gist's in the Abilene, Texas area that are descendants of DH Gist from Belle Plain (who are no doubt all kin to me).

    Anyway, the reason I wrote y'all was that I have direct ties to Belle Plain and appreciate the photos you all have placed on the web. They are a glimpse of my family history and I wanted to say thank you! I have been trying to get a free weekend so I can drive out there and see my ggg grandparents graves and clean their headstones, etc. Just thought y'all would appreciate my little story about Belle Plain, Texas. - Benton Gist, Kennedale, Texas, January 11, 2008


  • Littlefield, Texas 1-14-08
    Living Above the Palace (Theater, that is.)
    Dear Texas Escapes, Man, oh man, Can I add to the stories about the old Palace theater! My family and I lived up on the 3rd floor of that theater for about 2 years. My step dad managed all of those theaters right up till about the time they all closed. My whole family worked there in the theater at one time or another. I remember when Elmer Koller retired. We worked originally for some people from Andrews, Texas. I can't remember their names except the lady's name was Bea. I do remember that the theater started to go downhill. Then a man named Bill Boren bought several theaters from those folks. I remember how hard we worked to get them back in shape. We operated theaters in Morton, Muleshoe, Littlefield, and the drive-inn in Amherst all at the same time.

    My mother also worked in the Palace in several positions back in the late 50's and early 60's. She worked at the Palace, and the XIT Drive-Inn. At the same time Waylon Jennings worked there. When we lived there the whole theater was MY playground when the theater was closed. I knew every inch of the place. I also recall going down under the stage where there was an old orchestra pit from the silent era. ALL over down there was painted "Waylon Loves Betty" in different variations...."Waylon + Betty"....etc.

    I also painted my name along with my girlfriend's right next to where my mother's name was with Waylon Jennings. My mother was Betty Bales back then. As a child I was friends with two of Waylon's children. I dont remember his daughter's name, but his son Buddy was my friend.

    Right before my stepdad accepted a job in Lubbock managing theaters there, I ran the inventory for all the concession stands for Boren Theaters. Man, oh man, I dont know what ever happened to all those movie posters, but at one time in the room next door to the theater I bet there was 5,000 posters. Elmer Koller kept up with all those like it was his life. He could tell you where every great movie poster in that room was...and show them to you if you asked.

    My stepdad used to run the projectors down there on Elmer's night off, and the week Elmer went deer hunting, and I'd get to go up there and hang around and learn how to operate the projectors.
  • I spent many many entire Saturdays there watching the same movie over and over until my mother about had to drag me and my friends and cousins out of there kicking and sceaming....or come in and wake us up to take us home.

    I have Mr. Fairbaim's picture of the Palace in 1975 as my screen saver. - Marc Giles, Odessa Texas, January 11, 2008

  • Fargo, Texas 1-1-08
    Dear TE, Unlike Gertrude Stein's Cleveland, there is a there there in Fargo. I think someone on your staff took (a wrong turn) to Doans, thinking they'd go through Fargo on the way. No wonder they didn't find Fargo. You can get to Doans via Fargo, but the trick is to take FM 2916 straight to Doan's from Highway 283 (the one connecting Vernon, Texas with Altus, Oklahoma).

    In Fargo, there's not only the Fargo Church of Christ (of which you have a picture) but also a cotton gin. You can buy a soft drink from the machine in the gin office. That's not exactly like having a store, but it beats nothing. Fargo also has several houses in all directions from the intersection that marks the center of "downtown." Fargo used to have a post office, a blacksmith, a store with a soda fountain, a place to get a hamburger or a griddle-cooked steak -- all at one time or another from the earliest days of the settlement. Fargo Methodist Church is one mile west and one mile north of Highway 283.

    Across from the Methodist Church is Northside School, grades K-12. Northside Independent School District was created from five area districts back in the 1930s. The six-man football team won state in its division in 2006. The 125th celebration of the Doan's Crossing May Picnic is coming up this year (2008). Interest in Doan's seems to be growing, especially since the Western Cattle Trail has been marked by little obelisks all the way across Texas to Doan's. I believe it's marked all the way to Dodge City, for that matter. I will try to find time to send more information on Doan's and Fargo. - Hanaba Munn Welch, Fargo, January 01, 2008
