There is a historical marker on 180 just outside on the way to Mineral Wells. It used to read of the Light Family massacre, now they are mentioned but it has a different title. My great-grandmother was a young girl when her family was attacked by Comanches there on July 4th. Her and only one or two others lived - she saw her parents scalped and murdered, her baby sister's brains bashed out against a tree. My father remembered her telling the story to her grandchildren and showing the scars where she was shot by arrows.
My mother picked cotton out in West Texas as a child, out by Anson.
You must realize that Texas and the South were all very conservative Democrats until the left wing lunatic fringe took over the Dem party - the 1968 riots, the anti-Vietnam demonstrations, then nominating McGovern in 72. Reagan completed the transformation. That paper was founded back in the 1800's. Democrats then are not like the Democrats of today.
I'm surprised. I thought the influx of of people these last 20 years would have screwed things up.
I grew up in Parker County waaaayyyy back when.
My Ancestors farmed and lived in Parker County. With no slaves. My dad still remembers his sore cotton picking hands.
