Still is a Thurber Lake- Fort Worth Sportsman Club owns land near it - possibly lake is on their property. The lake supplied Locomotive and Steam engines around the coal mines. Some have held Family Reunions there- behind the operating Cafe on New York Hill- also a historic site. Lake Cisco & below the dam was - is a popular site for picnics and reunions. The rows of simple cabins on South of I-20 towards Huckaby cutoff from New York Hill was once owned by Rev. Frank Jordan of California and Non Denominational Churches. One set of missionaries went there to live in primitive conditions as Missionary Training for overseas conditions. . Last group I have heard of who lived there were youth- some married & with kids, wh were supposed to get Drug Therapy there. The leader was a Mr. Berg, , now in England and looked up to as a prophet. When at Thurber, their school kids attended Huckaby School. Moms and dads and singles would take a worn school bus to Fort Worth for street missionary work and direct fundraising (?) for the group. They left and bought a 2 or 3 story Building near the entrance to Dallas State Fair gates, where they lived and recruited. The California Churches had cut ties with them during or after the Thurber camp activities.
