This relates to the surname SHRUM and I thought that some of you folks might be interested. Shelta From: "Lea Head" <[email protected]> > Hello, > > I recently ran across an article in our local paper (Herald Democrat, > Sherman, TX) that included a reference to a Shrum family back in what > sounds like late 1800's in an area of New Mexico near the town of Melrose > (does it still exist.?.I don't know). What's fun about the article is that > this particular Shrum family was apparently more affluent than most folks, > ran a sheep operation, had a daughter named Maude and the article relates > some of the day to day life of the Vaughan family as it related to the > neighboring Shrum family. The article is derived from a tape recording > done in 1967-1968 of the author's mother, Annie Armilda Hendrix Vaughan > recounting events, people and places in her first 35 years. Unfortunately, > there is no mention of the given Shrum names except Maude, the > daughter. Samuel Benton Vaughan is mentioned as Annie's husband. > > I will save this article and if anyone is interested in reading it, I'll > happily scan it to them. >
