Shirleen Smith Reese, Thank you for letting us know of your website. I really loved the pictures. Makes me want to go to that intersection of Bastrop and take a picture for you to add so there will be 3 in 50 year increments.

Hi, all. I also enjoyed the pictures. My Great-great Uncle James Hiram Gillespie owned a mercantile store in Bastrop from about 1860 until sometime in the late 1800s. In his later years, I think he sold the store to Charles Leroy Morgan and I've also been told that it later became Turner Mercantile. There may have been several different buildings during this period but someone once told me that the building still stands. Do any of you recall seeing anything in the City of Bastrop archives? If the building still stands I'd love to make the trip to Bastrop to take pictures.
