Hi,I forgot, the ice house was on the Railroad and had once supplied ice to the Railroad for shipping fresh meat and vegetables and for Pullman cars. Also, Great Aunt Susie Moxley graduated from Tarleton and Mary- Hardin - Baylor- she taught in Box School, near Pony Creek Church, Selden,Indian Creek, Lingleville, Pea Ridge, Huckaby, Bloomington and others- was hired by A&M Consolidated schools but cannot find record that she went through with the contract. Bloomington offerred her a Principal's position and a hefty raise. She refused as she did not believe that women should have positions of authority . her boy friend attended ed Baylor and Southwestern Seminary and became a Principal in Amarillo, and married another. She returned home to Indian Creek to take care of her Civil War veteran dad, who had moved the family from Calloway County, Missouri to the Selden- Indian Creek area on Hico- Stephenville highway. She lived 1890-1976 and never drove a car. She rode the bus to Stephenville some and worked some for the family of Dean J. Thomas Davis of Tarleton. her house never had electricity or running water- they owned the land and payed the taxes and sent a few through Tarleton or SHS her hand pump failed and she carried the water from a nearby pond. The family had a weaving loom for carpet and a spinning wheel to earn extra money by daylight or lamp. FOOD COOLER- She built a frame for a burlap coverred box outside the Kitchen Window and wet it down with pumped or carried water 3 to 5 times a day, and it kept her milk and butter cool. They always had Red cling seed Indian Peach pickles for dinner. She drove her horse and Buggy to Selden Church until her last horse died, then rode with kin and neighbors to church. and dressed like Amish- she said they had Puritain roots from Plymouth Colony, but I have not been able to prove it. After I left home she often ate Sunday dinner with my mom and dad- Always jovial and telling us kids about the healthy Bible foods and other frontier or moral stories. She was related to Darnell, Higdon. Higbee- Arendell-Fleming- Ogan and other Indian Creek folk and Fort Worth Shannons- her niece married attorney Marvin Shannon of Shannon Funeral home- the Blind Golfer who had played with Bob Hope for a Colonial Country Club Charity tournament. Outside the Indian Creek Cemetery from the Moxley and Wyly graves, is a flat rock. There I am told is buried a Missouri Indian who led a wagon train from Missouri to Texas and he lived in the area and kept a lookout for possible Indian Raiders, appx. 1900. Great Great Grand George Milton Moxley had fought in Civil War as one who drew a bounty for taking a rich man's place in Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest's fierce fighters. I remember him drawing Civil War Vet checks from the State of Texas, with a Confederate Flag stampped on the State mailed envelopes. Take care, Charles A. Wyly
