Family has owned/operated farms in this county since 1889. Before that in Coryell County, near Gatesville.
Whole county is less than 6,000 population. Lots more cattle than people.
We are well known. I tell people there is a difference in being famous and being notorious. smile.
Lovely history and yet again, many thanks for more details! Family stories, no matter WHO one is, are not only very important to a family, but fascinating to others. We are all different, but it is our ancestors who ARE part of history; no matter who they were or what they did or didn't do and adds to our understanding of this nation and her people.
Yes, indeed, there IS a very big difference between being famous and notorious. LOL
