Gatesville Museum again

It's fun to visit and see more each time we come. Especially when other family members are there to point out different new sights. Cousin Amelia tells us how she used to ride side saddle on this saddle that her dad had repaired. Behind her is a very complete spur collection.

A school room in the good old days.

Allen used to work at this counter in his dad's drug store before and after high school

Country post office from Purmela where several of his relatives were post masters/mistresses!
